Cloud Computing – The Complete Cornerstone Guide to Cloud Computing Best Practices

An alternative title of “The Encyclopaedia of Cloud Computing” is offered up by the authors in the synopsis. More realistically however given the relative newness and the scope of the subject matter this book introduces the reader to some of the basic terms, considerations and the current major players of this burgeoning field. Whilst the tone of the authors is clearly that of advocates of this new technological “revolution” it is tempered with a discussion of the possible drawbacks and appropriate application. Whilst initially an easy read, unfortunately in the later chapters of the book in particular the services of a good proof-reader would be beneficial.

Ultimately however, the best reference on this fledgling topic is The Internet itself but this book is a good starting point.
