Cloud Computing Design Patterns

About this Book

Cloud Computing Design Patterns was written with one primary goal in mind: to provide a master design patterns catalog for cloud computing. A design pattern is a proven design solution for a common design problem that is formally documented in a consistent manner. Cloud computing design patterns provide design practices and cloud technology architectures, as well as established feature-sets offered by industry tools, technologies, products, and cloud-based platforms. Cloud computing design patterns offer in-depth insight into the moving parts that comprise cloud environments, such as public and private clouds, IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. They further formalize established architecture models pertaining to elasticity, resilience, multitenancy and various aspects of cloud security. The summarized profiles of all cloud computing design patterns and their associated mechanisms is openly available at www.cloudpatterns.org.
