## Description

Ahead in the Cloud: Best Practices for Navigating the Future of Enterprise IT : Orban, Stephen, Jassy, Andy, Cockcroft, Adrian, Schwartz, Mark: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Excellent way to help structure your thinking for a Cloud migration - It's great when you read a book on Cloud migrations and implementations, and all the points you considered when doing your AWS migration are in it. It's slightly wounding to the ego when those points are only at best a third of Stephen's book! Any form of replatforming is guaranteed to be an 'entertaining' process, full of 'learning experiences' and many late nights with coffee and pizza to keep you going, If you add in a totally new, and radically different technology platform, these issues are going to be amplified significantly. Here's the thing though, Cloud platforms are the future of the vast majority of IT programs, sticking your head in the sand will only delay the inevitable and ensure that your company is not just on the back foot, but also has a concrete overshoe. Irrespective of the platform you choose, this book provides an excellent framework to base your approach to any migration, be it startup or multi-billion enterprise.
Review: A (my) Head was in the Clouds - The content is excellent for anyone seeking to understand more about the value of and approaches to migrating to the Cloud. High level in most part but with lots of reference content for detail. Suited my needs perfectly. I’m much clearer now. NB Though others have commented that much of the content is available in blogs obtainable foc, I found it very useful to have in one place (on my Kindle). Recommended!

It's great when you read a book on Cloud migrations and implementations, and all the points you considered when doing your AWS migration are in it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An easy to read book about Cloud and Dev SecOps adoption within Enterprise IT.
*by A***N on 12 January 2021*

If you are looking for an easy to read book about Cloud and DevSecOps adoption within Enterprise IT, then this is a great book for you. It is a collection of Stephen's blog posts over the years as well as some from guest authors and so is very easy to read when you have a spare few moments and still take something away... most chapters can be read within 5 minutes! Although it makes mention of AWS tech quite a bit given Stephen's roles with AWS over the years, I think the majority of what is talked about is equally applicable to Azure and GCP (Google Cloud Platform). If you haven't been involved in introducing Cloud and DevOps into an organisation yet it will give you some excellent advice and lessons learned from people who have done it many times before... and if you have been part of a Cloud Transformation team you will find yourself smiling and saying to yourself "yes... we had that challenge as well"!
