\nThese are the 10 best books to read for successful cloud computing.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are loads of free resources available online (such as Solutions Review\u2019s best practices articles,\u00a0solutions directories<\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>buyer\u2019s guides<\/a>), and those resources are great, but sometimes it\u2019s best to do things the old-fashioned way\u2026 and there are few resources that can match the in-depth, comprehensive detail of good cloud computing books.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plenty of industry experts choose to share their knowledge via books. Thus, we’ve created a list of the top cloud computing books you should be reading!<\/p>\n

Architecting the Cloud: Design Decisions for Cloud Computing Service Models<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cloud computing is all the rage, allowing for the delivery of computing and storage capacity to a diverse community of end-recipients. However, before you can decide on a cloud model, you need to determine what the ideal cloud service model is for your business. Helping you cut through all the haze,\u00a0Architecting the Cloud\u00a0is vendor neutral and guides you in making one of the most critical technology decisions that you will face: selecting the right cloud service model(s) based on a combination of both business and technology requirements.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\u00a0<\/em>Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>In\u00a0Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture, Thomas Erl, one of the world\u2019s top-selling IT authors, teams up with cloud computing experts and researchers to break down proven and mature cloud computing technologies and practices into a series of well-defined concepts, models, technology mechanisms, and technology architectures, all from an industry-centric and vendor-neutral point of view. In doing so, the book establishes concrete, academic coverage with a focus on structure, clarity, and well-defined building blocks for mainstream cloud computing platforms and solutions.\u00a0

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
Cloud Computing Design Patterns<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Best-selling service technology author Thomas Erl has brought together the de facto catalog of design patterns for modern cloud-based architecture and solution design. More than two years in development, this book\u2019s 100+ patterns illustrate proven solutions to common cloud challenges and requirements. Its patterns are supported by rich, visual documentation, including 300+ diagrams.

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
Cloud Computing: From Beginning to End<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Your Complete Guide to Cloud Computing and Migrating to the Cloud. This book covers not only 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. After reading this book, you will have a much better understanding of cloud technology and the steps required to quickly reap its benefits while at the same time lowering your IT implementation risk.\u00a0

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
Cloudonomics, + Website: The Business Value of Cloud Computing<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cloudonomics\u00a0radically upends the conventional wisdom, clearly explains the underlying principles and illustrates through understandable examples how Cloud computing can create compelling value\u2014whether you are a customer, a provider, a strategist, or an investor.\u00a0Cloudonomics\u00a0covers everything you need to consider for the delivery of business solutions, opportunities, and customer satisfaction through the Cloud, so you can understand it\u2014and put it to work for your business.\u00a0Cloudonomics also delivers insight into when to avoid the cloud, and why.\u00a0\u00a0

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
CSA Guide to Cloud Computing: Implementing Cloud Privacy and Security<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>The authors of\u00a0CSA Guide to Cloud Computing\u00a0provide a wealth of industry expertise you won’t find anywhere else. Author Raj Samani is the Chief Technical Officer for McAfee EMEA; author Jim Reavis is the Executive Director of CSA; and author Brian Honan is recognized as an industry leader in the ISO27001 standard.

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
The Enterprise Cloud: Best Practices for Transforming Legacy IT<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Despite the buzz surrounding the cloud computing, only a small percentage of organizations have actually deployed this new style of IT–so far. If you’re planning your long-term cloud strategy, this practical book provides insider knowledge and actionable real-world lessons regarding planning, design, operations, security, and application transformation. This book teaches business and technology managers how to transition their organization’s traditional IT to cloud computing. Rather than yet another book trying to sell or convince readers on the benefits of clouds, this book provides guidance, lessons learned, and best practices on how to design, deploy, operate, and secure an enterprise cloud based on real-world experience.\u00a0

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
Enterprise Cloud Security and Governance: Efficiently Set Data Protection and Privacy Principles<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Automating security tasks, such as Server Hardening with Ansible, and other automation services, such as Monit, will monitor other security daemons and take the necessary action in case these security daemons are stopped maliciously. In short, this book has everything you need to secure your Cloud environment with. It is your ticket to obtain industry-adopted best practices for developing a secure, highly available, and fault-tolerant architecture for organizations.\u00a0

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
Infrastructure as Code: Managing Servers in the Cloud<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ideal for system administrators, infrastructure engineers, team leads, and architects, this book demonstrates various tools, techniques, and patterns you can use to implement infrastructure as code. In three parts, you\u2019ll learn about the platforms and tooling involved in creating and configuring infrastructure elements, patterns for using these tools, and practices for making infrastructure as code work in your environment.\u00a0

<\/div><\/em><\/p>\n
Transitioning the Enterprise to the Cloud: A Business Approach<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a>An inconsistency exists between actual cloud adoption rates and the viewpoints and direct actions of those responsible for corporate information technology operations. On the one hand, information technology (IT) leaders generally believe the cloud more easily enables the implementation and management of technology services, from web and mobile application development to on-demand computing and storage. These leaders also appreciate the cloud\u2019s consumption-based pricing model over their current capital-intensive cost structures. Transitioning an IT operation to the cloud is expensive and risky.<\/em><\/p>\n
