ABSTRACT
In this part of the book, we will discuss how to design cloud solutions. The so-called cloud solutions are solutions that leverage services and infrastructure supports provided by cloud platforms to solve practical problems. Cloud services are common building blocks of cloud solutions, but they are not all. A cloud solution consists of all related resources such as services, clients, virtual machines, external services, legacy systems, and their integration. In this chapter, we will discuss several common cloud solution architectures. Although these architectures share their names with those on on-premise systems, there are some significant differences between the two.
