Cloud computing holds tremendous opportunity, but is often surrounded by hype and confusion. Even though business and technology leaders recognize the importance of the cloud, they often lack the clarity and experience required for successful adoption. To the Cloud provides a clear framework and best practices based on Microsoft’s own experience, addressing the Why, What, and How of enterprise cloud adoption.

Endorsed by industry leaders, this book is a guide to navigating the enterprise cloud adoption journey. It lays out a four-step framework that helps readers identify suitable cloud candidates, choose the fitting cloud models, understand the architecture and security of cloud computing, and monitor budgeting and staffing implications of cloud-based operations.

The book presents a balanced approach to cloud computing, debunking myths and highlighting real clouds that transcend web hosting, virtualization, or simple rebranding of the internet. It covers a wide range of cloud platforms and vendors, and is applicable to any cloud environment.

The authors bring real-world, proven expertise to the book, as they worked on Microsoft’s cloud migration and cloud platform development teams. They provide end-to-end business and technology guidance, offering practical advice with clear frameworks, tables, graphics, summaries, and checklists.

To the Cloud is an ideal resource for business and technology leaders seeking to fully exploit the benefits of cloud computing in their organizations.

Highlights include:

• A clear framework for enterprise cloud adoption
• Insightful industry endorsements
• Proven best practices from Microsoft
• End-to-end business and technology guidance
