I am pleased to announce that my first book I co-authored has been released on Amazon. This is really exciting news, which I am extremely pleased about.
The book is titled VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit (vCAT): Technical and Operational Guidance for Cloud Success. This has been quite a long journey for a lot of us, and we have spent many a long hour writing or editing for this book, and the paper version available on vmware.com.
The vCAT book synopsis:
The complete vCAT printed reference: knowledge, tools, and validated designs for building high-value vCloud® solutions
The vCloud Architecture Toolkit (vCAT) brings together validated designs, tools, and knowledge for architecting, implementing, operating, and consuming modern vCloud infrastructure based on the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC).
vCAT has already helped hundreds of VMware customers succeed with vCloud. Now, pioneering VMware architect John Arrasjid has integrated essential vCAT information into a definitive printed guide, adding even more context and examples for successful planning and deployment. To do so, Arrasjid has distilled contributions from more than 100 VMware architects, consultants, administrators, engineers, project managers, and other technical leaders.
VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit (vCAT) is your complete roadmap for using virtualization to simplify data centers and related IT infrastructure. You’ll find up-to-the-minute, field-proven insights for addressing a wide spectrum of challenges–from availability to interoperability, security to business continuity.
