Determing the Best Cloud Computing Provider
by Don Jones

In the world of technology, best often means something like fastest, or most features. In the world of cloud computing, the situation can be a bit more complicated. Major cloud providers - Microsoft Windows Azure, Amazon EC2, Google App Engine, GoGrid, and so on - offer substantially different services. EC2, for example, is a Linux-based environment where you have root access and the ability to run pretty much any application you want. App Engine is also Linux-based, but is restricted to a limited Python language and a proprietary database back-end. Windows Azure doesn’t provide direct access to the operating system, supports SQL Server, and can use ASP.NET or PHP.

Chapter 1: Changing the Way We Deliver Services with Cloud Computing
by Dan Sullivan

Computing is constantly changing, creating new hardware technologies, improving software, and optimizing business processes. The history of computing is almost a constant stream of advances. Mainframe computing was followed by mini-computers, which were followed by personal computers, and most recently mobile devices. Software development followed a similar trajectory with an evolution that started with batch-oriented mainframe applications and moved through client server models to highly distributed service-oriented architectures and Web applications. Business processes changed and computing expanded beyond the reach of large volume highly-focused back office systems supporting core operations to widely adopted collaboration and personal productivity applications. Sometimes the changes in hardware, software, and business processes converge in ways that create significant new opportunities for delivering business services. The advent of cloud computing is one of those events.Cloud computing in its simplest form is a model for allocating compute and storage resources on demand. In practice, it is much more. Cloud computing offers new ways to provide services while significantly altering the cost structure underlying those services. These new technical and pricing opportunities drive changes in the way businesses operate. The Definitive Guide to Cloud Computing describes the technical, operational, and organizational aspects of cloud computing and provides a roadmap for navigating the emerging landscape of cloud computing.
