ABSTRACT

Most enterprise IT organizations have either implemented or are studying cloud projects. The three most commonly expressed fears are:

How to keep our data safe

How to prevent being locked in to a single vendor

How do we move legacy applications to the cloud

Security is discussed in Chapter 8. Vendor lock-in is addressed in this chapter. Moving to the cloud is addressed here and in Chapters 5 and 10. In Chapter 6, we discuss moving a simple application to the Amazon cloud.
