Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers

By: Subash Natarajan, Jeveen Jacob

Overview of this book

Unleash the power of cloud computing with Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers, your guide to mastering the nuances of cloud-native and multi-cloud, covering practical strategies for design, development, and management. Explore the essential concepts, challenges, and methodologies critical for navigating the complex landscape of modern cloud computing. Using core architectural and design principles (such as microservices and 12-factor architecture) and advanced strategies (such as distributed application design patterns, domain-driven design (DDD), and API-first strategies), you’ll learn how to build portable and efficient apps across various cloud platforms. You’ll understand how to leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), GitOps, and DevOps practices, along with containerization and orchestration techniques using Docker and Kubernetes. You’ll also get to grips with data, security, compliance, and cloud cost management strategies in multi-cloud environments. With real-world case studies, best practices, and insights into future trends, this book will equip you with the skills to develop, manage, troubleshoot, and innovate cloud-native applications across diverse cloud platforms, positioning you at the forefront of the cloud computing revolution.

Scaling mountainous success – a tale of DevOps 
and GitOps

Alright, let's once again wear our globe-trotter hat and imagine that there is a team of mountaineers embarking on a challenging ascent to the summit of a towering mountain. The climbers, representing the developers, are responsible for pushing forward and establishing progress, while the support team at the base camp, analogous to the operations team, plays a crucial role in providing critical support and ensuring the overall stability of the journey.

In the traditional approach, the climbers would operate independently, with the base camp responding to their progress. This siloed approach often leads to communication gaps, delays, and potential risks. This is where DevOps comes in, bridging the gap between the climbers and the base camp, transforming them into a cohesive unit sharing a common goal.

DevOps acts as an advanced communication system, enabling seamless connectivity between the climbers...
