Abstract
With this book, we want to give our readers an overview of cloud computing architecture, services, and applications, but it is not intended to be exhaustive. It is our aim to bring all readers up to date on this technology and thus to provide a common basis for discussion. This book does not require any knowledge of the technological background.
