We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog post to bring you an important announcement:
The first book in the Cloud Connections series is LIVE on Amazon!
http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Connections-Foundation--premise-ebook/dp/B006C35DMO
Product description:
This book is your personal on-ramp to cloud computing, particularly private and hybrid cloud solutions using Eucalyptus, the most widely-deployed private Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) software in the world. It includes an in-depth and authoritative explanation of cloud computing, cloud vs. virtualization, and the various models of cloud computing, then explains where Eucalyptus fits into the overall picture and how that benefits organizations like yours. It follows up with an overview of Eucalyptus platform concepts and architecture, and finally contains a section filled with hands-on exercises to help you make your first cloud connections a reality. The book explains how to set up a Windows desktop for managing a cloud, how to quickly build your first cloud with Eucalyptus FastStart, and how to practice what you have learned in the Eucalyptus Community Cloud.
We originally planned to make it available for $0.99, but due to its size (with full-color graphics, screenshots, and all), the Amazon Kindle version had a minimum price tag of $1.99. We're also publishing to Barnes and Noble, and if it can be cheaper there, we'll let you know.
Note: You don't have to own a Kindle to read the book. You can download a Kindle reader for you PC, or read it from a web browser using Amazon's cloud e-reader.
