"Strategy is the difference between making a wish and making it come true." Most books on cloud computing either stay at a very high level, offer simplistic recipes, or dive deep into vendor-specific product details. This book helps you fill the very large space in between: aligning technology change with organizational transformation, making architectural decisions, and communicating trade-offs to diverse stakeholders. The book balances structured decision models with real-life anecdotes, both harvested from half a decade of defining and implementing cloud strategies for major organizations. Today's enterprises need a more nuanced strategy than simply proclaiming "cloud first!" A strategy isn't something you can copy-paste from a recipe book or from another organization, though: diverse starting points, objectives, and constraints imply different choices and trade-offs. So, rather than offering "proven-3-step-recipes" or touting shallow success stories, this book helps you chart your own strategy by helping you ask the right questions and connecting the dots between the many facets of cloud computing. Your journey will cover why cloud lives in the first derivative, why it's not just about infrastructure, how to organize for successful cloud migrations, understanding hybrid and multi-cloud architectures without vendor jargon, designing cloud-native applications, and optimizing for cost-efficient and resilient operations. Being free of jargon and product pitches, this book is a valuable guide for: Enterprise and cloud architects who are tasked with defining and communicating a credible cloud strategy Consultants and advisors who rely on evocative decision models to guide their clients' cloud journey IT executives who want to harvest the full benefits of cloud computing Business executives who align organizational changes with the technical transformation NOTE: This book is currently available on Amazon as a print book only.

Cloud computing is the most significant technology development of our lifetimes. It has made countless new businesses possible and presents a massive opportunity for large enterprises to innovate like startups and retire decades of technical debt. But making the most of the cloud requires much more from enterprises than just a technology change. Stephen Orban led Dow Jones's journey toward digital agility as their CIO and now leads AWS's Enterprise Strategy function, where he helps leaders from the largest companies in the world transform their businesses. As he demonstrates in this book, enterprises must re-train their people, evolve their processes, and transform their cultures as they move to the cloud. By bringing together his experiences and those of a number of business leaders, Orban shines a light on what works, what doesn't, and how enterprises can transform themselves using the cloud.

Until recently, Hadoop deployments existed on hardware owned and run by organizations. Now, of course, you can acquire the computing resources and network connectivity to run Hadoop clusters in the cloud. But there’s a lot more to deploying Hadoop to the public cloud than simply renting machines. This hands-on guide shows developers and systems administrators familiar with Hadoop how to install, use, and manage cloud-born clusters efficiently. You’ll learn how to architect clusters that work with cloud-provider features—not just to avoid pitfalls, but also to take full advantage of these services. You’ll also compare the Amazon, Google, and Microsoft clouds, and learn how to set up clusters in each of them. Learn how Hadoop clusters run in the cloud, the problems they can help you solve, and their potential drawbacks Examine the common concepts of cloud providers, including compute capabilities, networking and security, and storage Build a functional Hadoop cluster on cloud infrastructure, and learn what the major providers require Explore use cases for high availability, relational data with Hive, and complex analytics with Spark Get patterns and practices for running cloud clusters, from designing for price and security to dealing with maintenance
