Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology and Architecture is the result of years of research and analysis of the commercial cloud computing industry, cloud computing vendor plantforms, and further innovation and contributions made by cloud computing industry standards organizations and practitioners. This book breaks down proven and mature cloud computing technologies and practices into a series of well-defined concepts, models, and technology mechanisms. In doing so, the book establishes concrete, academic coverage of fundemental aspects of cloud computing concepts and technologies, carefully described to ensure full alignment with the cloud computing industry.
