Best Cloud Computing Books Written by seasoned expert in cloud computing, this brand new text about Cloud Computing explores the most important cloud-related components and covers the important aspects of the subject, including Parallel and Distributed Computing, Virtualization, Cloud Computing Architecture, Cloud Platforms in Industry, and applications. With its accessible vocabulary for students and writing style, this Book will deliver a fantastic and enjoyable read.

To successfully build upon, integrate with, or even create a cloud environment requires an understanding of its common inner mechanics, architectural layers, and models, as well as an understanding of the business and economic factors that result from the adoption and real-world use of cloud-based services. And this book covers all. Author Michael Kavis presents you with an arsenal of design decisions to contemplate and highlights the critical areas of concern that all cloud architectures must contend with.A few reviewers didn’t like the author’s style. One said, “Unfortunately the prose style starts to become very annoying from quite early on, especially the childish anthropomorphism (this cloud is ‘the Darth Vader of clouds’, others are ‘lazy’ or like members of a street gang) and the lame jokes become very irritating. The overall effect is of one of those school science videos trying embarrassingly hard to make science ‘cool’ and ‘relevant’ but succeeds only in irritating its audience.” Pros and Cons of The Cloudspotter’s Guide: The Science, History, and Culture of Clouds byGavin Pretor-Pinney Pros This classic, simple book is a wonderful choice for toddlers and young preschoolers. It’s fun to identify the shapes in the clouds. The subjects of this book are the bane of astronomy. They are only ice crystals or water droplets. They have marvelous shapes and lovely forms. They are beautiful and terrifying. Dynamic swirls, fluffs. A show. A science. Never the same. They sport coming attractions. They are the clouds.

This book by Arshdeep Bahga, and Vijay Madisetti is written as a textbook on cloud computing for educational programs at colleges. It can also be used by cloud service providers who may be interested in offering a broader perspective of cloud computing to accompany their own customer and employee training programs. The typical reader is expected to have completed a couple of courses in programming using traditional high-level languages at the college-level, and is either a senior or a beginning graduate student in one of the science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) fields. The authors have tried to write a comprehensive book that transfers knowledge through an immersive “hands-on approach”, where the reader is provided the necessary guidance and knowledge to develop working code for real-world cloud applications. Cloud Computing: From Beginning to End not only covers the technical details of how public and private cloud technology works but also the strategy, technical design, and in-depth implementation details required to migrate existing applications to the cloud.

Hurwitz, Robin Bloor, Marcia Kaufman, Fern Halper Opens a new windowIf you are just starting out, this straightforward and easy to understand textbook help you to learn cloud computing from scratch. This could be your best guide to learn cloud computing. Consider whether you want to get scientific about clouds. There are certainly some complex texts that are not for the novice or regular cloud watcher but there are definitely some amazing books that help you understand the different cloud types and can help you name them when you spot them. These books are written in an easy-to-understand way, and they don’t get too complex (which can be really off-putting if you’re really curious about clouds but you’re finding the text too dry and technical).
