About the book

A focused, practical guide to designing cloud infrastructure that stays robust, scalable, and always available — even when applications and networks suffer service impairment.

This book zeroes in on the networking layer, providing a detailed roadmap for building resilient cloud networks that can withstand outages, absorb and adapt to failure, all while supporting mission-critical applications.

What's inside

Nine chapters, one resilient network.

  1. 01 What is Resilience in the Cloud Era
  2. 02 Fundamentals of Cloud Networking and Network Topologies
  3. 03 DNS Fundamentals
  4. 04 Resilient DNS Architectures and Techniques
  5. 05 Implementing Resilience Throughout the OSI Model with AWS Examples
  6. 06 Building Network Isolation with Cell-Based Architectures, Availability Zones and Regions
  7. 07 Traffic Engineering for Cloud Resilience and Performance
  8. 08 Operational Resilience and Disaster Recovery
  9. 09 The Next Decade of Cloud Resilience

What you will learn

  • Design cloud networks that are resilient by default to reduce outages and service impairments.
  • Apply DNS failover and multi-cloud strategies to ensure continuous availability.
  • Optimise traffic routing using BGP and other techniques for efficient global performance.
  • Follow best practices for building distributed networks engineered for high availability and fault tolerance.
