1. Multi-Cloud Administration Guide
2023 by Jeroen Mulder
The Multi-Cloud Administration Guide is a valiant effort to bring order to the swirling, interdimensional chaos that is multi-cloud computing—a realm where different cloud platforms coexist in an uneasy truce, occasionally throwing tantrums over interoperability and security. This book takes brave cloud professionals by the hand and gently explains how to navigate the labyrinth of virtualization, connectivity, storage and compute resources without accidentally summoning an eldritch compliance nightmare. It starts with Cloud Adoption Frameworks (because even multi-cloud madness needs a starting point), then hurtles through topics like containerization, serverless computing, access management and automated compliance, all while offering the comforting illusion that everything is under control. By the end, readers will either be confidently managing multi-cloud environments or questioning whether reality itself is just a poorly configured hybrid deployment. Either way, it's an essential guide for anyone attempting to survive the beautifully convoluted world of multi-cloud administration.

2. Cloud Governance: Basics and Practice
2022 by Steven Mezzio, Meredith Stein, Vince Campitelli
Cloud Governance: Basics and Practice is an enlightening (and occasionally terrifying) journey into the wild, swirling vortex of cloud computing, where corporate governance collides with the reality that most of an organization’s critical data is now floating in an unseen, unregulated and vaguely ominous digital realm. With the Metaverse looming like an overly ambitious science fiction subplot, this book bravely tackles the mind-bending complexities of keeping businesses secure, compliant and (hopefully) not entirely at the mercy of cloud service providers who may or may not be omnipotent beings in disguise. It methodically dissects the chaos of enterprise risk, cybersecurity nightmares and regulatory hurdles, offering a reassuringly structured approach to making sense of it all—complete with self-assessment questions, strategic frameworks and a quiet but ever-present reminder that no one is really in charge of the cloud. Packed with wisdom for IT professionals, risk managers, auditors and anyone who has ever stared at a compliance report in existential despair, this book dares to answer the question: Who governs the cloud and why does it feel like a cosmic joke?

3. Cloud Services, Networking, and Management
2015 by Nelson L. S. da Fonseca, Raouf Boutaba
Cloud Services, Networking and Management is a bold attempt to explain how the cloud—a vast, mysterious entity powered by humming data centers, over-caffeinated engineers and the faint scent of impending system failure—actually functions. This book heroically wades through the tangled mess of virtualization, networking, security and big data analytics, all while maintaining the illusion that someone, somewhere, is truly in control of it all. Readers will be delighted (or mildly panicked) to discover just how many things can go wrong in cloud computing and why, despite this, companies still gleefully shove their entire operations into it. With real-world applications covering everything from video streaming to online gaming (because nothing showcases the power of the cloud quite like a lag-free headshot), this guide is essential for anyone looking to understand—or at least pretend to understand—the beautifully chaotic world of modern cloud services.

4. Deploying and Managing a Cloud Infrastructure: Real-World Skills for the CompTIA Cloud+ Certification and Beyond: Exam CV0-001
2015 by Abdul Salam, Zafar Gilani, Salman Ul Haq
Deploying and Managing a Cloud Infrastructure is the ultimate survival manual for IT professionals who have realized—perhaps too late—that cloud computing is not just a passing fad but an unavoidable force dragging them into the future, certification exam and all. Designed for those with 2-3 years of networking experience (or, alternatively, 2-3 years of pretending they understand networking), this book serves as both a guide to mastering cloud infrastructure and a lifeline for passing the CompTIA Cloud+ Certification (CV0-001) exam without breaking into a cold sweat. With over 30 years of combined experience, the authors generously impart their wisdom on everything from fundamental cloud concepts to the fine art of keeping your infrastructure from spectacularly imploding. It also includes interactive exercises, real-world examples and even electronic study tools—because nothing says "career advancement" like flashcards reminding you that the cloud is watching, always watching. By the end, readers will either emerge as competent cloud administrators or at least be very, very good at sounding like one in meetings.
