Much has been written about the advantages and risks of cloud computing, but few sources offer a practical approach for creating web applications within this environment, or for migrating existing systems to it. In this book, you'll learn about the system administration and programming necessary for supportingtransactional web applications in the cloud - mission-critical activities that include customer orders and payments. If you're involved in planning IT infrastructure as a network or system architect, system administrator, or developer, i??Cloud Application Architecturesi?? will help you adapt your skills to work with the highly scalable, highly redundant infrastructure services providedby Amazon and others. This book helps you to: understand the differences between traditional deployment and cloud computing, including reliability, security, and the ability to predict load and capacity; learn how to structure a virtualized network in the cloud that supports security best practices; and, set up virtual servers to support transactional web applications and oversee a robust disaster recovery process, without having management tasks spiral out of control. Cloud computing can largely eliminate your organization's need to own web servers. i??Cloud Application Architecturesi?? points out the challenges you'll face when building and supporting applications with this service.
