Cloud computing, more than most disciplines in IT, suffers from too much talk and not enough practice. Thomas Erl has written a timely book that condenses the theory and buttresses it with real-world examples that demystify this important technology. An important guidebook for your journey into the cloud.

Scott Morrison, Chief Technology Officer, Layer 7 Technologies

An excellent, extremely well-written, lucid book that provides a comprehensive picture of cloud computing, covering multiple dimensions of the subject. The case studies presented in the book provide a real-world, practical perspective on leveraging cloud computing in an organization. The book covers a wide range of topics, from technology aspects to the business value provided by cloud computing. This is the best, most comprehensive book on the subjecta must-read for any cloud computing practitioner or anyone who wants to get an in-depth picture of cloud computing concepts and practical implementation.

Suzanne DSouza, SOA/BPM Practice Lead, KBACE Technologies

This book offers a thorough and detailed description of cloud computing concepts, architectures, and technologies. It serves as a great reference for both newcomers and experts and is a must-read for any IT professional interested in cloud computing.

Andre Tost, Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM Software Group

This is a great book on the topic of cloud computing. It is impressive how the content spans from taxonomy, technology, and architectural concepts to important business considerations for cloud adoption. It really does provide a holistic view to this technology paradigm.

Kapil Bakshi, Architecture and Strategy, Cisco Systems Inc.

I have read every book written by Thomas Erl and Cloud Computing is another excellent publication and demonstration of Thomas Erls rare ability to take the most complex topics and provide critical core concepts and technical information in a logical and understandable way.

Melanie A. Allison, Principal, Healthcare Technology Practice, Integrated Consulting Services

Companies looking to migrate applications or infrastructure to the cloud are often misled by buzzwords and industry hype. This work cuts through the hype and provides a detailed look, from investigation to contract to implementation to termination, at what it takes for an organization to engage with cloud service providers. This book really lays out the benefits and struggles with getting a company to an IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS solution.
