Cloud Standards: Agreements That Hold Together Clouds: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Cloud Standards: Agreements That Hold Together Clouds" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Cloud computing is often described as providing computing resources the way electric utilities provide energy. In theory, anyone with an adequate connection to the Internet should be able to tap into a cloud provider and get exactly the computing resources they want when they want it, just like plugging into the electricity grid and getting exactly the energy you want when you want it. But to get that electricity, there are many standards: voltage, frequency, phase, motors constructed in standard waysthere is a long list; there is an equally long list for cloud computing. Many of the standards are already in place. Others are being developed; some in contention.
Cloud Standards is a broad discussion of important existing and future standards. For existing standards, the discussion focuses on how they are used, providing practical advice to engineers constructing clouds and services to be deployed on clouds. For future standards, the discussion is on why a standard is needed, what the benefits will be, and what is being done now to fill the gap. No current book provides this information in the depth and detail necessary for an engineer in his work, an architect in designing cloud systems, a product manager collecting and evaluating products, or an executive evaluating the feasibility of a project. A second benefit from this book is that it provides insight into cloud implementations. Cloud implementations can be seen as the culmination of many trends in software and hardware engineering. Much of the foundation for these developments have been crystallized in the form of standards like TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transmission Protocol). The book leads readers to understand how these contribute to and affect cloud implementations.
Unfortunately, emerging standards are often messy. Cloud implementers may need to choose between competing proposed standards. Sometimes it is better to reject the standard entirely and roll your own. This book provides background for intelligent decisions.
Keeping a cloud, or an application implemented on a cloud, running well requires careful tuning of the implementation. Tuning often involves adjusting controls that are in the standard or applying the standard in less well-known ways. This book is an aid in tuning cloud systems for maximum benefits.
- A reader should take away the ability to identify the appropriate standards to apply in all aspects of cloud implementations and the design and construction of software to be deployed on the cloud.
- Users will learn how to apply the standards once they are identified, and the strengths of specific standards.
- Since standards are at the foundation of many aspects of cloud computing, readers will also gain a greater understanding of how the cloud works, as well as its strengths and vulnerabilities.
Cloud Standards is aimed at trained software engineers, architects, product managers, and knowledgeable executives who are accustomed to working in an enterprise IT environment. Readers will be aided by familiarity with basic programming practices and common software engineering tools like Java and XML, although this knowledge is not required.

To Christopher and Matthew
Its often said that to know where you are going, you must know where you have been. I think of this phrase often. It wards off knee-jerk reactions, especially when faced with the temptation to jettison due diligence and dive into the latest technology wave. Today, cloud computing is a cresting wave crashing through its hype cycle. Experience brings perspective, healthy skepticism, and a vision of technological advances as a continuum.
The evolution to the cloud is just thatan evolution. From mainframes to distributed systems to personal computers to the Internet and now to the cloud: each computing wave took hold because of the demands of business were served by the advances in technology. The wave progression left a trail of standards, and successful standards have made it possible for IT to advance by building each technology on top of the one that came before. With the adoption of each new technology, business leaders took increasing control of their IT destinies in order to obtain their business services.
Cloud computing is the latest development in a trend toward understanding IT as a provider of services to business. Historically, technology planning and investment drove many IT decisions. This meant that IT investments did not always align accurately with business strategy, and IT projects were shaped as much by available technical resources as by business requirements and benefits.
Cloud computing distances IT services from the technical infrastructure. Cloud technical resources and attendant costs dial up and down to match the demand for services. This places IT planning and investment on a different footing from IT implemented on consumer premises. Enterprise IT professionals are free to focus on business service costs and benefits; cloud providers take on the task of predicting and investing in the technical infrastructure. Enterprise IT professionals can concentrate on designing and implementing innovative services tailored to the needs of the business instead of the infrastructure investment.
IT professionals need to embrace the potential of the cloud and prove themselves to be valued partners to business leaders looking for their cloud solutions. They must become influencers whose expertise is sought after by business service consumers who are otherwise only a click away from making independent technology decisions that may or may not be optimal for the enterprise. Conversely, cloud service providers can focus on implementation and technology rather than on creating and maintaining business services. Each entitythe cloud service providers, the IT professionals, and the business service consumersbecomes more efficient by concentrating and managing investments in what they do best.
Still, IT professionals cannot abdicate their responsibility for the technical infrastructure stability of an enterprise and must be prepared for what a colleague termed the boomerang effect, whereby prodigal business professionals, mired in technical details such as backups and security that still plague the cloud environment, enthusiastically relinquish control back to IT professionals.
