About this title

From the Back Cover

Technology is progressively changing at a blistering pace. We are in an era of data-centric complex environments where the lines between business and technology are becoming increasingly blurred and organisations are moving beyond virtualization to cloud computing to meet new challenges and keep up with the pace of change. Gartner predicts an exceptional growth of cloud computing and huge investment shifts to cloud computing by global organisations in next few years.

As an organisation, If you aren't planning to invest on cloud-computing strategy, skillset, infrastructure, knowledge, then be prepared to be left alone in the next era of cloud computing. There is a lot of hype on cloud computing, and truthfully, so we are seeing the benefits of cloud computing in multiple folds. Yes, there are challenges and pitfalls, as you would expect in any technology advancement or progression.

From the Inside Flap

All our beliefs about how things work and how we design things to work are good as long as things and its aspects won't change, which isn't true. Hence, our design principles, system management principles, delivery management, ways of working should change over a period of time for the betterment. I had multiple discussions with experts in their field and understood that they were wrong at times only because they didn't adapt to the change by staying still at the earlier version of the world. It is important to protect yourself from beliefs that are derived from past learning, and this is applicable for the current learning too in the future.

As change is constant, so is learning and implementation, which needs to align with the change. This is a rule for success.

Cloud computing is one of the rapid evolving technologies, and new services are introduced on a daily basis; you will be left alone if you are not up to date with the evolution.
