Cloud computing gives you the tools you need to prepare and cope with a traffic onslaught. You'll have the confidence to withstand a traffic surge without melting your servers or sending you into bankruptcy.

There are a number of ways to use the cloud to host existing applications, build creative new ones, and improve the cost-effectiveness and efficiency or organizations large and small.

• gain a thorough understanding of cloud computing
• master the fundamentals of Amazon Web Services
• install and configure visual and command line tools
• store, retrieve, and distribute data quickly and easily
• build applications that scale
• manage the monitoring, load balancing, and scaling capabilities of cloud computing
