Hey everyone,
I thought it would be good to set up a repository of learning materials beneficial for both newcomers and seasoned professionals.
The aim is to curate content that ranges from beginner to advanced levels, either focused on specific cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, IBM Cloud, etc., or general insights applicable across multiple platforms.
The three main categories for suggestions are:
-
Books: What are some introductory and advanced-level books that have deepened your understanding of cloud computing? This could include architecture, best practices, security, scalability, serverless computing, cookbooks and others.
-
Blogs: We’d love to know which blogs you trust and follow for the latest news, trends, and innovations in cloud computing. Technical blogs offering how-to guides, problem-solving techniques, project logs and tutorials, or sharing personal experiences in the field would also be great.
-
Videos: Are there YouTube channels, online course platforms, or websites that have provided you with insightful video tutorials, webinars, or talks on cloud technology?
Cloud computing is a big field, so here are some suggestions for interesting topics:
- IaaS, PaaS and SaaS offerings of different providers
- comparisons and cross-platform mappings (eg. Azure for AWS engineers)
- IAC solutions
- Authentication, Security and Access control
- Architecture
- Big(ish) Data management
- Governance, compliance and Monitoring
- Fun personal projects
Thank you so much!
I’ll start with one of my favourite classics: Enterprise integration patterns - Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf
Truly the final word in messaging systems and required reading for any cloud architecture where you are having multiple services talk to each other at scale.
