Preface
In today's world, cloud computing is moving in its seventh heaven and is affecting the way through which businesses are done and will be done in the future. IT enabled services are now our bread and butter with Internet providing an extra topping to the dish. The concept of 24*7*365 availability and on-demand access to resources gives the basic definition of cloud computing as 'a style of computing where massively scalable and elastic IT capabilities are provided as a service to external customers using Internet technology.' This is a paradigm of computing which tells us about both the applications providing the services and the scalable hardware and the software resources that provide the services.
In this book, relevant frameworks and applications of cloud computing in the modern era are presented. It also provides a practical start-to-finish guide to some important implementations of the cloud, including migration steps from traditional (local) servers to the cloud, disaster recovery, risk management, cloud performance monitoring and management. The content is written in simple language and suitable for undergraduates, degree and postgraduate students who would like to improve their understanding of cloud computing. Furthermore, this book can help the readers to understand how cloud computing evolves, how it is accepted worldwide and how it becomes an integral part of several organizations. A key objective of this book is to provide a systematic source of reference for all aspects of cloud computing. This book comprises of nine chapters with close cooperation and contributions from four different authors spanning four countries and providing a global, broad perspective on major cloud computing topics.
