Reviews

“This ebook continues the very high standard we have come to expect from ServiceTech Press. The ebook provides well-explained vendor-agnostic patterns to the challenges of providing or using cloud solutions from SaaS to PaaS. The ebook is not only a great patterns reference but also worth reading from cover to cover as the patterns are thought-provoking; drawing out points that you should consider and ask of a potential vendor if you’re adopting a cloud solution.”
