商品描述

Cloud architectures are leading to radical changes in data center organization, with multi-tenancy becoming ubiquitous in public, private, and hybrid clouds. To future-proof evolving cloud-based infrastructures, network architects are turning to Distributed Services Platforms.
In Building a Future-proof Cloud Infrastructure , network pioneer Silvano Gai shows how to implement Distributed Services Platforms with multiple service modules in diverse hardware. Gai shows how to provide essential shared services such as segment routing, NAT, firewall, micro-segmentation, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, VPNs, RDMA, and storage -- including storage compression and encryption. He demonstrates how distributing service modules near applications enables very high performance, low latency, low jitter, deep observability, and rapid troubleshooting, combining the performance benefits of hardware with the exceptional flexibility of programmable software.
Focusing on business benefits throughout, Gai places Distributed Services Platforms in the context of current trends in network and cloud architecture and virtualization. He compares four leading architectures: Sea of Processors, FPGAs, ASIC, and P4, reviewing the advantages and tradeoffs of each, and illuminating key concepts with intuitive illustrations. He also previews P4 extensions that may offer significant value. By the time readers have finished, they'll know how to evaluate solutions, ask pertinent questions, and plan the best Distributed Services Platform strategies for their own environments.

雲架構正在引領數據中心組織的根本變革,多租戶在公有、私有和混合雲中變得普遍。為了未來證明雲基礎設施的可擴展性,網絡架構師們正在轉向分散式服務平台。

在《構建未來證明的雲基礎設施》中,網絡先驅Silvano Gai展示了如何在不同硬件上實現具有多個服務模塊的分散式服務平台。Gai展示了如何提供基本的共享服務,例如段路由、NAT、防火牆、微分段、負載平衡、SSL/TLS終止、VPN、RDMA和存儲,包括存儲壓縮和加密。他演示了將服務模塊分佈在應用程序附近如何實現非常高的性能、低延遲、低抖動、深度可觀察性和快速故障排除,將硬件的性能優勢與可編程軟件的卓越靈活性相結合。

Gai將分散式服務平台放在網絡和雲架構以及虛擬化的當前趨勢背景下,並專注於業務效益。他比較了四種領先的架構:處理器海、FPGA、ASIC和P4,評估了每種架構的優勢和權衡,並通過直觀的插圖闡明了關鍵概念。他還預覽了可能提供重要價值的P4擴展。讀者在閱讀完畢時,將了解如何評估解決方案,提出相關問題,並為自己的環境規劃最佳的分散式服務平台策略。
