Architecting the Cloud (WILEY TECH) by Michael J Kavis

Many companies are considering taking to the "cloud". However, before they can make this move, they need to determine what the correct cloud service model to follow is: (1) software as a service (SaaS), (2) platform as a service (PaaS), or (3) infrastructure as a service (IaaS). This book guides corporations through some key design considerations. It discusses the pros and cons of each cloud service model and highlights major design considerations in areas such as security, data storage, monitoring, APIs and more. It arms the reader with enough information to choose the right cloud service provider. In addition, this book clearly defines what services the cloud providers' offer for each service model and what cloud services IT must provide.
