To ensure your cloud infrastructure is future-proofed, Distributed Services (DS) Platforms are a key solution to consider. DS Platforms improve performance, responsiveness, observability, and troubleshooting by bringing service modules closer to applications. Network expert Silvano Gai provides insight on the unparalleled capabilities of DS Platforms and how to implement them across different hardware.

With a focus on the benefits for businesses, Gai explains how to provide shared services, such as segment routing, NAT, firewall, micro-segmentation, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, VPNs, RDMA, and storage (including compression and encryption). He also compares three main hardware-based approaches – Sea of Processors, FPGAs, and ASICs – to help you evaluate solutions, ask the right questions, and plan effective strategies for your environment.

The book covers topics such as the business drivers behind DS Platforms, the value they offer, how network design and virtualization are the basis for DS Platforms, how to achieve unparalleled scale, the advantages and disadvantages of hardware approaches to DS Platforms, and the P4 Domain-Specific Language and architecture, which enable high-performance, low-power ASICs that are data-plane-programmable at runtime.
Additional topics include how to distribute cloud security services such as firewalls, encryption, key management, and VPNs, how to implement distributed storage and RDMA services in large-scale cloud networks, and an exploration of the newest DS Platform management architectures.

This book is essential reading for network, cloud, application, and storage engineers, as well as security experts and anyone else who wants to succeed with the most advanced service architectures of tomorrow.
