Cisco Cloud Infrastructure

Hybrid cloud adoption is accelerating, as companies discover that hybrid cloud architectures can reduce hosting costs, improve agility, promote scalability, accelerate deployment, and enhance security. Cisco Cloud Infrastructure is the definitive reference for every professional who needs to understand, implement, or manage Cisco hybrid cloud solutions for networking, compute, storage, applications, and/or security.

Bringing together crucial information formerly scattered across multiple sources, leading Cisco architects Jalpa Patel and Avinash Shukla offer end-to-end insights for seamlessly integrating management and operation of public cloud resources and on-premises deployments. They review each leading deployment option, providing overviews of key concepts, best practices, guidelines and tradeoffs, case studies, and more. Their many configuration examples, including topologies, configuration, and verification, are based on actual Cisco Cloud deployments, and specifically designed to help you drive value faster. Coverage includes:

• Using Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes to deploy, connect, secure, and monitor Kubernetes-based apps across on-prem environments and the AWS cloud
• Operating hybrid cloud environments more efficiently with Cisco Intersight's intelligent visualization, optimization, and orchestration
• Safeguarding cloud resources through Cisco Umbrella, Cisco Cloudlock, and other Cisco offerings
• Using AppDynamics enterprise-grade performance cloud monitoring and analytics tools to identify issues and overcome growth challenges
• Managing interdependencies between networks, compute, storage, application, and security in hybrid cloud environments
• Automating and simplifying multi-cloud connectivity, management, and operations
