Getting Started With Cloud Computing

Cloud computing saves time and money by enabling convenient, on-demand network access to resources like servers and applications. Libraries that take advantage of the cloud have fewer IT problems because data centers provide continuous updates and mobility that standard computing cannot easily provide.

Welcome to the book-"Getting started with Cloud Computing and Google Cloud". So what you will learn from this book - The intent of this book is to provide a practical guidance on how to get started with cloud computing and Google Cloud and be productive in a shortest possible timeframe. This book provides a mix of basic foundation concepts, along with advanced topics which teaches you practical cloud computing concepts and fundamentals, the "why" and "how" part of getting things done to build cloud applications. The concepts are generic in nature and applicable to all cloud providers like AWS and Azure, but the Labs demonstration is available only for Google Cloud. The concepts in the book are greatly simplified as compared to other books, so even if you are new to the technology world or making a switch to cloud, you should be able to easily understand the concepts and carry out the Lab exercises. So what's unique about this book - Apart from cloud computing, the book also teaches you dual skills on how to create multi cloud applications - basically build applications in a way that can be deployed to any cloud provider, like Google Cloud, Azure or AWS. Secondly, the book teaches you practical ways of getting things done that would help you in your cloud journey. So, if you are new to cloud computing and need to build a strong foundation, or getting started on Google Cloud or want to know how to build multi-cloud applications, then this book is for you. As part of this book, there are many hands-on sessions and gradually we would build an end-to-end production ready application on Google Cloud. The hands-on session are available as set of videos. What else you need to know about this book - The book will definitely give you a head start, but you need to look for other sources like cloud documentation offered by the providers to deep dive into the details. Each cloud provider provides 100 of services and you usually leverage them based on your applications requirements and start building expertise on it, like what service can be used for which requirements. Cloud is a very vast topic and you can't fit all concepts in one book. Secondly Learning is a continuous process and my job is to introduce you to the concepts, provide you with hands-on expertise, help you build production-grade applications, so can you use this as a solid foundation to build cloud applications confidently. The book is created as a course ware, divided into learning sessions, visual cards and Labs. Each session provides just the right level of details, with visual cards providing key messaging or takeaways and Labs providing step by step instructions through video.

In this book I will teach you the basics of cloud computing and why cloud computing is one of the hottest areas in information technology today. In addition, I will show you how to sign up for free developer accounts with some of the leading cloud computing platforms such as Amazon AWS and SalesForce. I will also take you on a brief tour of each of these platforms and show you how to deploy software to each of these as well. By the end of this book you will be able to develop and deploy software to the leading cloud based system on the market today.

Managing IT systems is difficult. Virtualization brings numerous benefits to the datacenter and system administrators. However, it also creates a new set of choices. More choice implies more decisions, and thus an increased management responsibility. Furthermore, the move toward cloud computing, with a service-based acquisition and delivery model, requires that datacenter managers take a holistic view of the resources that they manage and the actors that access the data center. IBM® Service Delivery Manager addresses this problem domain. Delivered as a set of appliances, it automates provisioning, deprovisioning, metering, and management of an IT platform, and the services it provides. It addresses the needs of both IT management and service users. This IBM Redbooks® publication is intended for technical professionals who want to understand and deploy IBM ISDM Cloud on a Power platform.

This is a standard, precise, and short tutorial for setting up ownCloud and includes advanced topics like encryption, user management, and server security.

Data in the genomics field is booming. In just a few years, organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host 50+ petabytes—or over 50 million gigabytes—of genomic data, and they’re turning to cloud infrastructure to make that data available to the research community. How do you adapt analysis tools and protocols to access and analyze that volume of data in the cloud? With this practical book, researchers will learn how to work with genomics algorithms using open source tools including the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK), Docker, WDL, and Terra. Geraldine Van der Auwera, longtime custodian of the GATK user community, and Brian O’Connor of the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, guide you through the process. You’ll learn by working with real data and genomics algorithms from the field. This book covers: Essential genomics and computing technology background Basic cloud computing operations Getting started with GATK, plus three major GATK Best Practices pipelines Automating analysis with scripted workflows using WDL and Cromwell Scaling up workflow execution in the cloud, including parallelization and cost optimization Interactive analysis in the cloud using Jupyter notebooks Secure collaboration and computational reproducibility using Terra

The cloud computing market is exploding and is generating a huge amount of high paying jobs for personnel that are trained on cloud-based systems. If you have not gotten started or wonder what the cloud is all about then this is the book for you. Book Overview I designed this book for complete beginners to learn the fundamentals of cloud computing. We will first start off the course by examining some fundamental concepts that cloud computing such as: Cloud deployment models The advantages and limitations of cloud computing Cloud service models The definition of cloud computing as well as a brief history In the next section of the course, we will examine the current state of the cloud computing market. Following this, we will look at Amazon AWS, who is the learning provider in the cloud computing market. I will show you how to sign up for an AWS trial account and how to perform basic navigation within the system. I will also show you how to use some of the core services, such as Amazon EC2 and S3. In the last part of the section, we will discuss serverless computing and the AWS Lambda service. Online Class Access Also this book is designed to be a companion to the video course that us hosted on my website. By buying this book, you will have access to this course that has videos for each chapter, online quizzes and more. Why not get started with cloud computing today?
