Mastering Cloud Computing: Foundations and Applications Programming, Second Edition serves as a comprehensive introduction for readers seeking to develop applications in the ever-evolving world of cloud computing. As technology advances, applications are no longer confined to a single machine but instead operate from virtual servers, accessible globally at any time. This book equips aspiring developers with the essential tools and knowledge to create effective cloud-based applications. Beyond the foundational principles, the book delves into distributed and parallel computing, providing in-depth coverage of virtualization, thread programming, task programming, and map-reduce techniques.It also addresses the development of applications for various cloud architectures, highlighting industrial platforms and critical security considerations. To reinforce learning, the text integrates real-world case studies, practical examples, hands-on exercises, and lab activities throughout, allowing readers to apply concepts directly and build their expertise effectively.Includes pedagogic chapter elements (Theorems, Program Code Listings, Chapter Summaries, and Review Questions) that are designed to help students understand the important aspects of Cloud ComputingPresents real-world case studies that include scientific, business, and energy-efficiency considerationsExplains how to make design choices and tradeoffs to consider when building applications to run in a virtual cloud environmentCovers critical topics, including parallel and distributed computing, virtualization, cloud computing architecture, cloud applications platforms such as Aneka, thread programming, task programming, map-reduce programming, cloud platforms, and development of cloud applications

Mastering DevOps: A Cloud Engineering and Data Science Perspective addresses the challenge of understanding and implementing DevOps in an era of rapid technological advancement where cloud-based infrastructure and data science applications have become integral to many organizations. The book covers the specific requirements of these fields, such as scalability, automation, and managing large-scale data and containerized applications. Content focuses on DevOps principles while integrating core technologies such as cloud computing, microservices, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD). Additionally, the book provides coverage of a DevOps approach tailored to data science by covering recent advancements and explaining their relevance in a DevOps environment. Specific topics cover fundamental principles, including history, planning, and essential tools like Git, introduce the core technologies and architectures that power modern DevOps, such as microservices, cloud computing, and containerization, and focus on the practical implementation of DevOps, exploring key practices like continuous integration, automation, and monitoring. Finally, the book delves into advanced topics and future trends, such as deployment strategies and the extension of DevOps principles to data science and other narrowed-down domains.Presents end-to-end DevOps phases with real-world applications, covering each DevOps phase, from planning to monitoring, with practical examples and scenariosIncludes detailed coverage of core technologies such as cloud computing, containerization (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes), and continuous integration/delivery pipelinesProvides chapters that explain how to implement DevOps principles in data pipelines and machine learning workflows, meeting the unique demands of these growing fields
