Description
With the advent of internet, there is a complete paradigm shift in the manner we comprehend computing. Need to enable ubiquity, convenient and on-demand access to resources in highly scalable and resilient environments that can be remotely accessed, gave birth to the concept of Cloud computing. The acceptance is so rapid that the notion influences sophisticated innovations in academia, industry and research world-wide and hereby change the landscape of information technology as we thought of.

This book begins with the fundamentals of cloud computing, its service and deployment models, architecture, as well as applications and platforms. It presents some key enterprise strategies and models for the adoption of and migration to cloud. Privacy and security issues and challenges also form a major part of our discussion in the book as well as case studies of cloud computing adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa and India. The book concludes with a discussion of several advanced topics, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Open Nebulla, Microsoft Azure, Apache Hadoop and Google App Engine (GAE).
