Reviews

“This book not only reveals cloud to be well established, but also helps to anchor it by relating it to architecture as well as to service management, the two planks for balanced management of any technology. … The book is very good at defining everything as it goes along in very short clear statements, and the illustrations are both apt and clear. … a valuable addition to the library of IT professionals considering or starting to engage in cloud implementation.” (Charles Chang, bcs.org, January, 2016)
