Best-selling author Thomas Erl has brought together the first de facto catalog of design patterns for modern cloud technology architectures, platforms and practices. More than two years in development, the 80+ patterns covered in this book illustrate proven architectural and design solutions to the most common problems and requirements for cloud-based solution design and implementation, with rich, visual documentation including 300+ diagrams. Erl and his colleagues document dozens of cloud computing mechanisms, each representing a well-defined component common to cloud-based environments. Coverage includes:

• Infrastructure patterns: physical platform, virtualization, data, storage, and capacity
• Scalability and resource pooling: dynamic scaling, elasticity, high availability, bursting, and balancing
• Reliability and recovery: patterns for failover, reliability, disaster protection, and recovery
• Security: trust boundaries, hardening, privacy, and confidential data exchange
• Monitoring: cloud monitoring, usage tracking, billing, metrics collection, and triggers
• Common compound design patterns and strategic architecture considerations
• 40 security patterns

Cloud Computing Design Patterns reaches unprecedented levels of technical depth, making it a must-have resource for every cloud technology architect, solution designer, or administrator.
