Cloud Computing Guide: Virtualization & Cloud Technology Explained | Learn for Business, IT & Remote Work

I purchased this book two years ago to start my IT degree and studies on cloud computing. This is a great resource with a lot of technical, conceptual, and practical content as well. It leans more on the technical and conceptual side so you know what is cloud computing, what constitutes this type of technology, and the writing lends itself to help you realize how you can apply the knowledge here to your current workplace or be a more savvy cloud computing consumer.What I loved are the case studies that he goes through towards the end of the book. I ended up using a lot of these case studies for my final paper in my intro to IT class. He goes through financial benefits, productivity benefits, and how converting to the cloud happened. Also, it describes how converting to the cloud has changed technology culture of the companies that have employed it and the types of cloud infrastructure they went to and why. Basically, how it fit their business needs.If you're a student, an IT director, or a CEO or company leader wondering how cloud computing can fit into your business infrastructure as a technology solution, this book is definitely worth the read.
