Description
Cloud Computing
This comprehensive textbook provides a structured and authoritative introduction to Cloud Computing. guiding readers from foundational principles to advanced real-world applications. It serves as an essential resource urce for students, IT professionals, and researchers seeking to master the technologies that power modem digital infrastructure The book clearly outlines the origins and essential characteristics of cloud environments, such as Rapid Elasticity, Broad Network Access, and Measured Service, setting the stage for deep dives into implementation. It thoroughly examines the cloud infrastructure, covering foundational technologies like data center components, power efficiency metrics (PUE), and the multi-level implementation ofvirtualization across CPU, Memory, and I/O. A significant portion is dedicated to cloud architecture, detailing the fundamental service models (SaaS, PaaS, laaS) and various deployment models (Public, Private, Hybrid). Finally, a major focus is placed on cloud security, detailing the CIA Triad, Zero Trust principles, and modem DevSecOps practices crucial for designing and deploying secure cloud software. By covering these core concepts and modern storage systems (Object. NoSQL Databases), this book delivers both the academic knowledge and the practical value needed to confidently design, manage, and secure scalable cloud solutions.
