Cloud Computing Solutions Architect
Arshdeep Bahga is a computer scientist and the co-author of the Hands-on Approach book series. He is well-known for his research and textbooks on Blockchain, the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, and Big Data.
According to a recent Gartner industry research, enterprise cloud computing decisions have shifted from "if" to "how" to design, deploy, consume, manage, secure, and integrate cloud services into their operations. The cloud solutions architect is responsible for defining the enterprise cloud strategy from a technical standpoint and for rolling out these cloud services.
Cloud computing is a paradigm shift that allows for scalable, easy, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing and networking resources for efficiently delivering applications and services via the Internet. A cloud solutions architect, according to Amazon Web Services (AWS), is someone who can provide solution plans for the best architectural practices for cloud applications, design and deploy highly scalable and fault-tolerant services, assist in lifting legacy applications and moving them to the cloud, identify and plan for data entry and exit from the cloud platform, and choose suitable cloud services based on data. Additionally, the cloud solutions architect ensures that enterprise products adhere to sound principles, such as the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF) for cloud applications and services.
Cloud Computing Solutions Architect was written as a textbook for the next generation of cloud solutions architects for educational programs at colleges and universities, as well as for cloud certification programs where students would like to gain valuable hands-on skills on actual cloud platforms to further develop their knowledge and competency base. It is one of the best books on Amazon Web Services.
The typical reader is either a senior or a beginning graduate student in one of the science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) fields, and has completed a couple of courses in programming using standard high-level languages at the collegiate level. The reader is given the direction and information needed to create working code for real-world cloud computing applications. Concurrent development of practical applications that accompany traditional instructional material within the book greatly enhances the learning process.
