Book Description

Estimates vary but the message is clear: cloud spending worldwide is soaring, and much of the demand is coming from companies looking to migrate existing systems. Transforming a monolithic legacy application into a cloud native system is no small feat, but with this in-depth report, your organization will learn ways to migrate classical Java applications to newly provisioned cloud infrastructure without requiring a significant rewrite.

This book covers proven steps and techniques that enable your company to take advantage of cloud infrastructure's power and flexibility. You'll explore three pillars of successful cloud adoption - infrastructure refresh, application modernization and migration, and security modernization - and learn how to treat the cloud as an unlimited pool of resources that brings both scale and resilience to your system.

• Cloud native requirements: critical traits applications must possess before they’re deployed to cloud infrastructure
• Modernizing heritage applications: proven techniques and tools for refactoring existing legacy Java applications to real-time, event-driven, cloud-native systems
• Getting cloud-native deployments right: best practices for deploying enterprise services to public, private, and hybrid clouds, and for meeting common organizational challenges along the way
• Cloud security: methods for shoring up the least-secure channels in enterprise systems - from social engineering to known vulnerabilities—before deployment to cloud infrastructure

  This book introduces basic Docker concepts and explains how to achieve faster startup and deployment of your Java‑based applications, shows how Docker containers can save you many headaches when it comes to packaging, deploying, and scaling your applications.

• A Practical Guide to Cloud Migration (Kieran Broadfoot, et al.)

  You'll learn how to modernize your applications by using cloud for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable.

• Migrating to Cloud-Native Application Architectures (Matt Stine)

  Defines the unique characteristics of cloud-native application architectures such as microservices and twelve-factor applications, and examines the cultural, organizational, and technical changes necessary to migrate to cloud-native architectures.

• Building Reactive Microservices in Java (Clement Escoffier)

  This book is for developers and architects interested in developing microservices and distributed applications. It does not explain the basics of distributed systems, but instead focuses on the reactive benefits to build efficient microservice systems.

• Microservices for Java Developers: Frameworks and Containers

  In this hands-on, example-driven guide, Java developers and architects will learn how to navigate popular application frameworks, such as Dropwizard and Spring Boot, and how to deploy and manage microservices at scale with Linux containers.

• Microservices Best Practices for Java (Michael Hofmann, et al)

  This book covers Microservices best practices for Java. It focuses on creating cloud native applications using the latest version of Server and other Open Source Frameworks in the Microservices ecosystem to highlight Microservices best practices for Java.

• Developing Reactive Microservices: Implementation in Java

  In this book, author walks Java developers through the creation of a complete reactive microservices-based system. The result? A system that's easier to deploy, manage, and scale than a typical Java EE-based infrastructure.

• Docker Cookbook (Ken Cochrane, et al)

  This book starts with setting up Docker in different environment, and helps you learn how to work with Docker images. Then, you will take a deep dive into network and data management for containers.

• Kubernetes: Up and Running: Dive into the Future of Infrastructure

  This practical book shows developers and ops personnel how Kubernetes and container technology can help you achieve new levels of velocity, agility, reliability, and efficiency. It explains how this system fits into the lifecycle of a distributed application.

• Kubernetes for Full-Stack Developers (Jamon Camisso, et al)

  This book helps newcomers and experienced users alike learn about Kubernetes, introduces core Kubernetes concepts and to build on them to a level where running an application on a production cluster is a familiar, repeatable, and automated process.
