Thomas Erls text provides a unique and comprehensive perspective on cloud design patterns that is clearly and concisely explained for the technical professional and layman alike. It is an informative, knowledgeable, and powerful insight that may guide cloud experts in achieving extraordinary results based on extraordinary expertise identified in this text. I will use this text as a resource in future cloud designs and architectural considerations.

Dr. Nancy M. Landreville, CEO/CISO, NML Computer Consulting

This book continues the very high standard we have come to expect from ServiceTech Press. The book provides well-explained vendor-agnostic patterns to the challenges of providing or using cloud solutions from PaaS to SaaS. The book is not only a great patterns reference, but also worth reading from cover to cover as the patterns are thought-provoking, drawing out points that you should consider and ask of a potential vendor if youre adopting a cloud solution.

Phil Wilkins, Enterprise Integration Architect, Specsavers

This book provides an excellent read for anyone wanting to grasp the fundamentals and advanced concepts of cloud computing. The easy-to-understand format provides the reader with a clear direction on how to enable a more robust, dynamic, and efficient cloud environment while also providing vital information on how to effectively secure core components of the cloud. The reader, who might not have a full understanding of cybersecurity implications as they relate to cloud, will have the foundational knowledge to build out secure cloud environments. I would recommend this book to anyone serious about cloud security.

Sean Cope, CISSP CEH CNDA, FedRAMP Assessment Lead, Homeland Security Consultants

A very well written book, providing details of how to achieve the characteristics of a cloud and hence enable businesses to achieve its benefits.

Kumail Morawala, CCP Certified Trainer

Cloud Computing Design Patterns is an excellent book to use when building or maintaining your cloud. The book is vendor neutral, which ensures that there are no conflicts of interest as far as the authors and publisher go. I think that the diagrams and illustrations are particularly helpful since some people seem challenged with trying to visualize virtual machines.

Laura Taylor, Relevant Technologies

Cloud Computing Design Patterns takes a disciplined approach to categorizing cloud design building blocks and simplifying inherent technology complexities. It explains, in a lucid manner, why a particular design pattern is needed and how to approach a pertinent solution. I found the security patterns sections more versatile in covering examples, such as hypervisor attack vectors, threat mitigation strategies, and mobile device management security. Written in a catalog style, this book takes you through a journey of development that is intuitive as well comprehensive enough.

Anant Mahajan

Readers will find it easy to read, comprehend, and apply the cloud pattern principles in practice that have already been adopted by the industry.

Matt Lorrain, Greg Ponto, and Michael E. Young, Security Standards & Architecture team, Esri

The models seem to be consistent and thorough, which should make them approachable and of value in scoping the design of reliable implementations. Overall, this is a good basis for progressing a common understanding of the vision of cloud practicewell done.
