Many companies claim to have "gone to the cloud," yet returns from their efforts are meager or worse. Why? Because they've defined cloud as a destination, not a capability. Using cloud as a single-vendor, one-stop destination is fiction; in practice, today's organizations use a mosaic of capabilities across several vendors. Your cloud strategy needs to follow a hybrid multicloud model, one that delivers cloud's value at destinations you choose. This practical guide provides business leaders and C-level executives with guidance and insights across a wide range of cloud-related topics, such as distributed cloud, microservices, and other open source solutions for strengthening operations. You'll apply in-the-field best practices and lessons learned as you define your hybrid cloud strategy and drive your company's transformation strategy. Learn cloud fundamentals and patterns, including basic concepts and history Get a framework for cloud acumen phases to value-plot your cloud future Know which questions to ask a cloud provider before you sign Discover potential pitfalls for everything from the true cost of a cloud solution to adopting open source the right way
With the rise of the cloud, every aspect of IT has been shaken to its core. The fundamentals for building systems are changing, and although many of the principles that underpin security still ring true, their implementation has become unrecognizable. This practical book provides recipes for AWS, Azure, and GCP to help you enhance the security of your own cloud native systems. Based on his hard-earned experience working with some of the world's biggest enterprises and rapidly iterating startups, consultant Josh Armitage covers the trade-offs that security professionals, developers, and infrastructure gurus need to make when working with different cloud providers. Each recipe discusses these inherent compromises, as well as where clouds have similarities and where they're fundamentally different. Learn how the cloud provides security superior to what was achievable in an on-premises world Understand the principles and mental models that enable you to make optimal trade-offs as part of your solution Learn how to implement existing solutions that are robust and secure, and devise design solutions to new and interesting problems Deal with security challenges and solutions both horizontally and vertically within your business
Kubernetes has become the operating system of today's cloud native world, providing a reliable and scalable platform for running containerized workloads.

There are more applications running in the cloud than there are ones that run well there. If you're considering taking advantage of cloud technology for your company's projects, this practical guide is an ideal way to understand the best practices that will help you architect applications that work well in the cloud, no matter which vendors, products, or languages you use.Architects and lead developers will learn how cloud applications should be designed, how they fit into a larger architectural picture, and how to make them operate efficiently. Authors Kyle Brown, Bobby Woolf, and Joseph Yoder take you through the process step-by-step.Explore proven architectural practices for developing applications for the cloudUnderstand why some architectural choices are better suited than others for applications intended to run on the cloudLearn design and implementation techniques for developing cloud applicationsSelect the most appropriate cloud adoption patterns for your organizationSee how all potential choices in application design relate to each other through the connections of the patternsChart your own course in adopting the right strategies for developing application architectures for the cloud
Cloud native security isn't a game for individual players. It requires team collaboration with a platform that can help cloud security engineers, developers, and operations people do their best work. That's what the cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP) delivers. With this practical guide, you'll learn how CNAPPs can help you consolidate security through DevSecOps across cloud native technologies, practices, and application lifecycles.Through real-life attack scenarios, authors Russ Miles, Steve Giguere, and Taylor Smith help you explore how CNAPP not only mitigates multidimensional threats, but also reduces complexity and helps your team stay one step ahead of attackers. CNAPP provides a holistic approach to your cloud native development across identities, workloads, networks, and infrastructure.With this book, you will:Examine threats to different parts of the cloud native stack, including pipelines, supply chains, infrastructure, workloads, and applicationsLearn what CNAPP is and how it enables the context-sharing and collaboration necessary to secure your applications from development to runtimeAssess your own attack surface from a code and runtime standpointIdentify blind spots in your existing cloud native security coverageLeverage CNAPP to achieve a holistic, collaborative security environment
Learn how to use Go's strengths to develop services that are scalable and resilient even in an unpredictable environment. With this book's expanded second edition, Go developers will explore the composition and construction of cloud native applications, from lower-level Go features and mid-level patterns to high-level architectural considerations. Each chapter in this new edition builds on the lessons of the last, walking intermediate to advanced developers through Go to construct a simple but fully featured distributed key-value store. You'll learn about Go generics, dependability and reliability, memory leaks, and message-oriented middleware. New chapters on security and distributed state delve into critical aspects of developing secure distributed cloud native applications. With this book you will: Learn the features that make Go an ideal language for building cloud native software Understand how Go solves the challenges of designing scalable distributed services Design and implement a reliable cloud native service by leveraging Go's lower-level features such as channels and goroutines Apply patterns, abstractions, and tooling to effectively build and manage complex distributed systems Overcome stumbling blocks when using Go to build and manage a cloud native service

The year is 4256. Problems with interstellar drives have been solved and mankind is exploring the universe. There are more than a thousand inhabited planets and many thousands of additional habitable planets await colonization. Through all of this exploration, many independently evolved species have been found and identified, but none are intelligent - at least not until now. David Welch is wrongly convicted of a crime and is sentenced to expulsion on a prison planet where he discovers that a native life form is not simply vicious, as thought, but is fully intelligent and in some ways far advanced. This novel is the story of Dave's life, his discoveries, and what he does with them.
