Résumé

Cloud Computing : Theory and Practice provides students and IT professionals with an in-depth analysis of the cloud from the ground up. The third edition updates content throughout the book while retaining the popular features and organization of the second edition. After an introduction to network-centric computing and network-centric content in Chapter 1,the book covers four main topics : it reviews basic concepts of concurrency and parallel and distributed systems ; presents such critical components of the cloud ecosystem as cloud service providers, cloud access, cloud data storage, and cloud hardware and software ; covers cloud applications and cloud security ; and lastly, presents research topics in cloud computing.
Specific topics overed include resource virtualization, resource management and scheduling, and advanced topics like the impact of scale on efficiency, cloud scheduling subject to deadlines, alternative cloud architectures, and vehikular clouds. An included glossary covers terms grouped in several categories, from general to services, virtualization, desirable attributes, and security.
