Hybrid Cloud – Why Does It Matter?

Having understood the different demographics of the cloud and the definition of the hybrid cloud, naturally, the next question one might ask is, why does it matter at all? This chapter is dedicated to answering this one question, and looking at the perspectives and usage scenarios of the different clouds, and we will see why hybrid cloud is the optimal solution in most cases.

There was a time when public clouds were just taking off and were in fashion, it was like the world was split into two factions. One, we will call the enthusiasts and the other faction, we will call the resistance.

The enthusiasts were predicting the rise of the public cloud and importantly, the complete annihilation of the concept of a private data center. The resistance, on the other hand was resisting this idea, as they loved the traditional...

•Leverage Hybrid Cloud to design a complex deployment pipeline

•Learn to implement security and monitoring best practices with real-world examples

Description

Hybrid cloud is currently the buzz word in the cloud world. Organizations are planning to adopt hybrid cloud strategy due to its advantages such as untested workloads, cloud-bursting, cloud service brokering and so on. This book will help you understand the dynamics, design principles, and deployment strategies of a Hybrid Cloud. You will start by understanding the concepts of hybrid cloud and the problems it solves as compared to a stand-alone public and private cloud. You will be delving into the different architecture and design of hybrid cloud. The book will then cover advanced concepts such as building a deployment pipeline, containerization strategy, and data storage mechanism. Next up, you will be able to deploy an external CMP to run a Hybrid cloud and integrate it with your OpenStack and AWS environments. You will also understand the strategy for designing a Hybrid Cloud using containerization and work with pre-built solutions like vCloud Air, VMware for AWS, and Azure Stack. Finally, the book will cover security and monitoring related best practices that will help you secure your cloud infrastructure. By the end of the book, you will be in a position to build a hybrid cloud strategy for your organization.

This book is a MUST read, no matter if you are beginning your career or you spent 10+ years as an architect in IT. Cloud is a complex subject and everyone is trying to figure out sweet spot. Many books goes high level, miss out on essential functions of IT. This book covers end to end, starting from architecting to operationalizing. Alok(Author) has done a tremendous job explaining details of Public Cloud, enterprise grade computing, networking and all the required components. Waiting for his next series

The author has clearly worked on getting novices and advanced users to a single platform. In the changing nightmares of technology, this book provides an amazing insight into the way hybrid cloud can be conceptualized and architected for an enterprise. The author has provided significant examples to enforce and reinforce concepts. A humorous narrative keeps the reader involved. While this book can in no way be the only way to do things,based on my years of experience I can clearly state that this book provides all the right methods to follow. A good read, a good purchase and highly recommended to people who are either thinking of hybrid cloud or struggling with its implementation. The emphasis on basics is what pushes this book at the top of the stack

This is one of the best books for open-stack, complex concepts are explained with ease. This book will certainly give very good pointers to design open-stack environment. Highly encourage to have it...

I bought this book mostly due to the title; but it's not really a book for architects. It discusses some basic topics (VPNs, etc.), knowledge of which ought to be assumed if you're at an architect level, before going into explorations of various tools (e.g. OpenStack, Kubernetes). What I really was looking for was a discussion of capabilities and models for how to design a hybrid platform - what capabilities are typically used where, and only then what particular tools might be useful in any given case. Some of that was there, but only in the most perfunctory fashion. I get that specific technologies are considered - it is in the title after all. That needs to be abstracted up to a model, however. Combined with spelling and grammatical errors, as well as some leaps of logic which were not supported by the references, I did not feel I got a good introduction here to hybrid cloud design.
