A comprehensive guide to Multi-Cloud Administration for Cloud professionals.

Key Features:
- Get familiar with the various components involved in establishing a multi-cloud architecture.
- Acquire the skills to effectively manage multi-cloud environments.
- Establish guardrails and guidelines to ensure interoperability and security across multiple cloud platforms.

Description:
In today's landscape, organizations are embracing multi-cloud strategies to harness the advantages offered by multiple cloud providers. If you want to develop the necessary skills and expertise in managing multi-cloud environments, then this book is tailor-made for you.

This is a comprehensive guide that equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to manage multiple cloud environments effectively. The book begins by exploring the Cloud Adoption Frameworks, providing a solid foundation for understanding multi-cloud strategies. It then covers topics such as virtualizing and managing connectivity, storage, and compute resources across different clouds. The book also discusses creating interoperability, managing data in a multi-cloud environment, and building and operating cloud-native applications. Lastly, it covers containerization, serverless computing, access management, security, and automating compliance.

In this book, the reader will get guidance and hands-on instruction on operating multi-cloud environments. We will discuss all the different aspects that come with mulit-cloud such as interoperability between different cloud environments, networking configuration, data integration, and of course security requirements. This book provides new adopters of the multi-cloud approach with numerous frameworks and ideas for an efficient and sound multi-cloud infrastructure. Throughout the book, you will hopefully find solutions, techniques, designs, and administrative guidance for various types of multi-cloud environments, using AWS, Azure, GCP and Alibaba Cloud. Why these? Because these are the most used clouds.

By the end of the book, you will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently navigate the complexities of multi-cloud administration.

Chapter 1: Using the Cloud Adoption Frameworks - provides an overview of the various Cloud Adoption Frameworks (CAF) that help in setting up and manage environments in AWS, Azure, GCP and Alibaba Cloud. CAFs contain pillars such as security, identity and access, cost and governance. We will discuss the CAFs of the major providers and show readers how to use them to get maximum benefit.

Chapter 2: Virtualizing and Managing Connectivity - covers all aspects about connectivity in cloud. Networking in cloud is software based. In this chapter, you will learn what cloud networking is, with guidance to software building blocks, deployment models and operating networks in cloud. Concepts such as SD-WAN, SD-LAN and edge will be discussed. We will also introduce micro-services and how network virtualization can help with this.

Chapter 3: Virtualizing and Managing Storage - explains one of the major benefits of cloud: the almost limitless amount of storage that is available to us. But cloud is a shared resource model, so we need to understand how storage works in cloud, how to make sure that we get the right amount of storage and the right type, with the right performance. Cloud architects and admins should know about I/O, pooling and the different storage types. All of that is covered in this chapter.
...
Chapter 12: Automating Compliancy - starts with explaining why compliance in cloud might be more of a challenge than in traditional IT, where we have workloads mostly on premise. Governmental bodies, certification authorities and auditors are setting compliancy guardrails to allow usage of major cloud providers. In this chapter, we will learn how to use automation and even AI to ensure that our workloads in the cloud remain compliant.

What you will learn:
- Gain expertise in efficiently managing applications, data, and environments within multi-cloud platforms.
- Familiarize yourself with the setup and management of cloud-native technologies.
- Learn how to implement robust security measures for cloud platforms.
- Understand the importance of maintaining compliance and adhering to regulatory standards.
- Develop strategies for achieving seamless interoperability in a multi-cloud environment.

Who this book is for:
This book is for cloud architects, system architects, solution architects, cloud admins and cloud professionals. Having a basic understanding of cloud technology and IT infrastructure would be an added advantage.
