The world of IT is rapidly changing, with cloud computing now at the heart of most modern technological infrastructures. For organizations that have relied on mainframes for decades, this shift presents a unique challenge—and an unprecedented opportunity. How do we preserve the reliability, security, and power of mainframe systems while integrating the flexibility and scalability of the cloud? This question is at the heart of the hybrid cloud architecture, and it's the reason I've written this book.

"Mainframe Meets Modernization: Mastering Hybrid Cloud Design" is both a companion guide for those taking the online course and a reference book for professionals implementing hybrid cloud systems. Whether you're an IT Infrastructure Director, a Mainframe Systems Architect, or an engineer tasked with modernizing legacy systems, this book will provide you with a roadmap for success. It's designed to help you navigate the complexities of mainframe-to-cloud integration and guide you step-by-step through building a resilient, scalable, and high-performing hybrid cloud architecture.
