Cloud Networking for Network Engineers

Are you a network engineer who’s being asked to learn too many things about the cloud?

Is incident firefighting the only thing you seem to have time for these days?

If you need to learn more about cloud networking but don’t want to be a cloud expert, this is the handbook for you!

Inside this book, you will find:

  • Cloud networking constructs, acronyms, and designs explained in simple network terms
  • A traditional networking approach to understanding how to build cloud networks
  • An appendix linking to deep dives on cloud networking, organized by topic. Don’t need to be deep on a topic? Don’t go deep!
  • An at-hand reference to quickly and concisely explain cloud terms. Have to join a call with the cloud team but afraid they’ll use terms you aren’t familiar with? The reference guide can help!

Actual feedback received from Hybrid Cloud Handbook readers:

” It was extremely beneficial for me to see them modeled after traditional networking concepts first, then to dive into how they work.  There was a lot more knowledge gained than just the areas mentioned above, it was pretty much knowledge gained over and above what I already had from each of the chapters.  For instance, I had no idea that IGW were just doing a 1:1 NAT mapping, this was extremely interesting and important, and I never would have gleaned this from my course of study. There were many more gems than just this, but I just wanted to highlight at least one.

Overall, I think that even with the technical knowledge I had prior to reading the book I more thoroughly understand each of the topics you covered because I understood the traditional networking concept that was being contrasted.  Because of this I am WAY more confident speaking to these in a public forum. “
