Book Description
Transactional Systems for EC2 and Beyond
Product Description
If you're involved in planning IT infrastructure as a network or system architect, system administrator, or developer, this book will help you adapt your skills to work with these highly scalable, highly redundant infrastructure services.
While analysts hotly debate the advantages and risks of cloud computing, IT staff and programmers are left to determine whether and how to put their applications into these virtualized services. Cloud Application Architectures provides answers -- and critical guidance -- on issues of cost, availability, performance, scaling, privacy, and security.
With Cloud Application Architectures, you will:
- Understand the differences between traditional deployment and cloud computing
- Determine whether moving existing applications to the cloud makes technical and business sense
- Analyze and compare the long-term costs of cloud services, traditional hosting, and owning dedicated servers
- Learn how to build a transactional web application for the cloud or migrate one to it
- Understand how the cloud helps you better prepare for disaster recovery
- Change your perspective on application scaling
To provide realistic examples of the book's principles in action, the author delves into some of the choices and operations available on Amazon Web Services, and includes high-level summaries of several of the other services available on the market today.
Cloud Application Architectures provides best practices that apply to every available cloud service. Learn how to make the transition to the cloud and prepare your web applications to succeed.

Format:Paperback
Clear, well written overview of S3 and EC2. Somewhat marred by poor production - cheap paper, occasional blotchy print quality, several missing or truncated diagrams (e.g. fig 1-2 - who was the final proof reader!).
Despite all that, you will still get a decent feel for what EC2 does, and what it leaves up to you.

This book is most suited to managers/administrators of small to medium businesses who might need to migrate into the cloud from existing hardware LAN systems.
This book spends a great deal of effort in comparison reporting the benefits of migrating into Cloud Computing, and focuses predominantly upon the Amazon Web Services.
As a student I found this book very interesting, though this book is not written as an introduction to networking so a grasp of previous IT systems (Database theory, Distibuted Computing etc.) is necessary to keep up with the logic of the topic.

the book is too focused on Amazon offers but the advice is sound and generally applicable to other Cloud providers booth at the IaaS and to some extent also to PaaS

Good for overall knowledge of Cloud Computing
I bought it for my MSc. I would say it is "recommended" for the one who don't want to waste time on false or non-relevant information.
Worth reading it.
