Abstract

In the preceding Chap. 3, we discussed the cloud services architecture from a technical point of view and thus mapped the landscape of cloud computing. Actual cloud offers were only mentioned briefly. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of the offerings from vendors such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce and to present their capabilities as well as their intended use.
