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.

Multi-cloud networking and security

In the context of our mountaineering expedition, effective communication and safety are paramount. The climbers use radios for communication and adhere to safety protocols to mitigate risks. This is analogous to the networking and security aspects in a multi-cloud environment.

In single-cloud or multi-cloud deployments, networking ensures seamless communication between applications hosted on different cloud platforms. It involves setting up load balancers, configuring network policies, establishing private connections, and more. Each cloud provider offers its own set of networking services, and understanding how to use them for optimal communication between services is a key skill for a cloud-native developer.

Security, on the other hand, is about protecting your applications and data from threats. In a multi-cloud environment, security becomes even more complex due to the distributed nature of applications and data. Security must be implemented...
