Purchase options and add-ons

If your team is investigating ways to design applications for the cloud, this concise book introduces 11 architecture patterns that can help you take advantage of cloud-platform services. You’ll learn how each of these platform-agnostic patterns work, when they might be useful in the cloud, and what impact they’ll have on your application architecture. You’ll also see an example of each pattern applied to an application built with Windows Azure.

The patterns are organized into four major topics, such as scalability and handling failure, and primer chapters provide background on each topic. With the information in this book, you’ll be able to make informed decisions for designing effective cloud-native applications that maximize the value of cloud services, while also paying attention to user experience and operational efficiency.

Learn about architectural patterns for:

  • Scalability. Discover the advantages of horizontal scaling. Patterns covered include Horizontally Scaling Compute, Queue-Centric Workflow, and Auto-Scaling.
  • Big data. Learn how to handle large amounts of data across a distributed system. Eventual consistency is explained, along with the MapReduce and Database Sharding patterns.
  • Handling failure. Understand how multitenant cloud services and commodity hardware influence your applications. Patterns covered include Busy Signal and Node Failure.
  • Distributed users. Learn how to overcome delays due to network latency when building applications for a geographically distributed user base. Patterns covered include Colocation, Valet Key, CDN, and Multi-Site Deployment.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I was not familiar with Azure prior to reading this. It gives a really clear picture on how to use the cloud as a platform rather than as infrastructure as well as giving an overview of Azure's capabilities. It is definitely Azure oriented so if you are using a different cloud platform it may not be as valuable.

    For anyone new to cloud computing this book is a very good introduction on cloud design patterns. The author has explained things in a very simple and elegant way. What I liked the most is that this book covers the various design issues in moving to cloud and has a running example in the page of photos sample.

    Definitely I would recommend this book for anyone new to cloud computing and want to understand the different design considerations. Though the sample pages of photo app is developed in Azure, we can easily correlate to other platforms like Amazon Web Services.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Am Architecture/Design Pattern book without pictures ???
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I have been working as an architect for many years, and as a cloud architect for several. I was hoping to find a book full of use cases and samples (i.e., diagrams) on how to implement these specific patterns in the cloud using Azure components (as the name states). But instead i read lots of text about NFRs (non-functional requirements) that should be considered for various use cases. Its probably a decent book for beginning architects to understand NFRs and things to consider when moving to the cloud, but NOT for a architecture or design "patterns" book which i expect to contain specific solutions to different use cases. (I returned it)

    Sehr gut strukturiert, sehr gut zu lesen. Obwohl bei Beispielen für die Nutzung von Cloud-Dienstleistern primär Microsoft Azure (und erst nachrangig Amazon Web Service) genannt wird, so sind die vermittelten Konzepte und Techniken überhauptnicht Microsoft- oder Windows-spezifisch. Sehr empfehlenswert.

    Its a OKish kind of experience after going through the book. Considering the complexity of the topic it would have been more prudent to give more examples than the Page of Photos (PoP) sample. Lot of patterns were covered at very high level for beginner kind of audience or Manager type folks...the Architect in me was left wanting for more

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Cloud Architecture Patterns is a great book, for the first 5 or 6 chapters. I loved the Scale, Queue, AutoScale and Eventual Consistency. After that though the chapters became more 'scan and flip', some good things but still 'scan and flip'. Is it worth £12.00 - sure and I'm going to buy the second edition but unless those last 10 chapters improve it's still going to be 3 stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Software architect : read this
    Reviewed in France on January 31, 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a very good book on what a technical architect needs to care about when writing cloud applications. The exposition is on an abstract level and the author clearly explains which patterns there are and when you should use them. The patterns are applicable to both Microsoft Azure and Amazon S3 services. All patterns matter and none of them are exotic or far fetched. the use of a fcititious example application (PoP) helps in seeing when to apply the pattern. As a technician I would have loved some code snippets to get a taste of the flavor of code that these patterns require but that's just my opinion. I have only one advice to anyone serious in cloud development : read this.
