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 Computing- Presents real-world case studies that include scientific, business, and energy-efficiency considerations- Explains how to make design choices and tradeoffs to consider when building applications to run in a virtual cloud environment- Covers 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
