Cloud 云计算
The idea for this book started with a call from Prof. P. C. P. Bhatt, whom Naresh has known for over a decade. Prof. Bhatt is the author of a widely used Operating Systems book, which is in its 5th edition in India. He asked Naresh to collaborate on his next edition, but Naresh’s expertise is in Cloud Computing, on which he had taught a graduate class at Santa Clara University in California. Thus, a new book was conceived. Cloud has evolved as the next natural step after Internet, connecting mainframe like centralized computing capabilities in a data center with many handheld and distributed devices on the other end. Thus, computing has taken the form of exercise dumbbell equipment, with Servers on one end and Clients on the other, joined by the fat pipes of communication in between. Furthermore, it has trans- formed the way computing happens, which for both authors started by carrying decks of JCL (Job Control Language) cards for feeding an IBM mainframe, cul- minated with collaboration for this book using the Cloud. This is amazing, espe- cially considering that even a smartphone has more memory and compute than was present on the entire Saturn V rocket that carried astronauts to the Moon and back. This implies that more such miracles are on the way, enabled by widely and cheaply available compute power made possible by Cloud Computing. Objective of this book is to give an exposure to the shift in paradigm caused by Cloud Computing and unravel the mystery surrounding basic concepts including performance and security. This book is aimed at teaching IT students, and enabling new practitioners with hands-on projects, such as setting a Web site and a blog. Focus areas include Best Practices for using Dynamic Cloud Infrastructure, Cloud Operations Management, and Security.
