Cloud Design Patterns: Prescriptive Architecture Guidance for Cloud Applications
Book Description
Cloud applications have a distinct set of characteristics. They run on commodity hardware, provide services to unreliable users, and handle unpredictable workloads. These factors pose a series of problems that you, as a designer or developer, have to deal with. Your applications must be resilient to failure, secure to protect services from malicious attacks, and resilient to respond to changing workloads.
This guide presents design patterns that can help you solve problems you may encounter in many different areas of cloud application development. Each sample discusses design considerations and explains how you can implement it using Windows Azure features. The templates are grouped into categories: Availability, Data Management, Design & Deployment, Messaging, Performance & Scalability, Resilience, Management & Monitoring, and Security.
You will also find more general guidance related to these areas of interest. It explains key concepts such as data consistency and asynchronous messaging. Plus, there are helpful tips and explanations on key design considerations for features like data analytics, telemetry, and storage across data centers.
These templates and tips can help you improve the quality of the apps and services you build and make the development process more efficient. Interesting!
