Book Description

Most enterprises adopt multi-cloud with the intention of accelerating digital transformation, but moving data and applications to public clouds and implementing Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions are challenging. One of the biggest challenges is deciding what parts of which services are the most useful to help the company thrive. Through this book, you'll learn how to choose the most apt cloud service and how to manage operations, cost, and security, all while learning how to overcome the complexities associated with multi-cloud adoption via use cases (IoT, data mining, Web3, financial management, and more).

This new edition is focused on helping you stay in control of your cloud environments by using the concepts of BaseOps, FinOps, and DevSecOps. You'll learn how to develop, release, and manage products and services in the major public clouds Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), whilst optimizing costs and maximizing security using the various tools and services that these cloud providers offer.

By the end of this book, you will have become familiar with the complexities associated with running a business in a multi-cloud environment and identified ways to solve these complexities in the domains of operations, financial management, and security.
