Mind The Gap: Most Common Cloud Mistakes

Learn About Most Common Cloud Pitfalls

During my years working with the cloud I was looking for such a guide, describing common mistakes and how they can be prevented. It would definitely mitigate some mistakes I made and alleviate them as well as boost the pace of gathering the cloud knowledge. However, I did not find such a book back then. The idea of writing this particular piece came from consulting projects I was doing, where I was approached by teams to share more about perils in the public cloud and how they can be prevented. The teams were looking for kind of a cheat sheet to simplify their way into the cloud. After doing another research, I decided to start collecting my notes and experiences.

The book is written in cloud-agnostic way, but it covers references to public cloud provides like AWS, Azure and GCP. „MIND THE GAP” consists of my stories and stories from other companies. It will lead you through most common mistakes that can be encountered during cloud migrations, adoptions and operations. Each chapter is summarized with my recommendations, in form of handful tips. You can just jump to the tips and in case something catches your eye, you can then read the subchapter about it. You also do not need to read all at once, you can read what you need and later go back and explore other chapters. But remember, the book as a whole provides a comprehensive overview of cloud mistakes within different layers.
