**** OVERVIEW ****

Since the publication of the first edition of this popular book in 2010, Cloud Computing has both become an entrenched part of the industrial and academic landscape, and evolved quite significantly. This has led to increased sophistication and diversification in how we now think about, characterise, create, and use Cloud – and we now take for granted the key characteristics that previously necessitated extensive debate.

Current notions of Clouds relate very large scale and highly complex systems that embrace services, containers, mobile, cloud-of-clouds/multicloud/internet-of-clouds and brokers across and between these, big data and analytics, and the internet-of-things including the operation and off-loading of data for various autonomous vehicles. Given such uses, Cloud security, along with privacy, legislation, regulation, and standardization have come to the fore and even help to shape the thinking about non-Cloud or Cloud-related systems. And the underlying importance of topics such as energy efficiency and economics is also never far removed. Clouds now support patterns of both regular and predictable, and are particularly adept for bursty, resource use for applications and services across the entire IT spectrum, from online office software to high-throughput transactional services and high-performance computations involving substantial quantities of processing cycles and storage. Growth of Clouds, and the sheer multiplicities in provision, has created new opportunities for service selection and composition, and flexibility and agility have become motivators for adoption where previously focus was on cost.
The major IT and e-commerce vendors are still Microsoft, Amazon, IBM and Google, although what each offers, and how, has shifted some way since the first edition of this work. Microsoft is embracing open source software and supports Linux use in infrastructure; IBM seems to have made a very strategic acquisition to bolster their offering; Google has worked quickly to position itself alongside these, however Amazon’s scale and service offerings have expanded substantially throughout, and by many measures Amazon’s Web Services is proclaimed the present market leader. Given scale of investment, it is difficult to see any of these four being displaced quickly, but it would be unwise to believe that this could not happen.
In turn, the volume of technically-motivated and research-oriented literature has grown substantially, as workshops, conferences books and journals have grown in number, breadth and depth. The first edition of the book was published at a time when such literature was relatively scarce; the 2nd edition will have to stand amongst a number of other good research collections.
The main purpose of the 2nd edition is to capture the state-of-the-art in Cloud Computing. As such, it is expected to have some structural similarities to the 1st edition, but will be quite different in composition as would reflect the substantial evolution of the subject over the past five years. We again aim for a thorough and advanced treatment of a variety of Cloud Computing topics, and will endeavour to ensure all-round coverage to the best extent possible.
