Cloud goals, such as faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), capex reduction, self-service enablement, and complexity reduction are important, but organizations often struggle to achieve the desired outcomes. With edge computing gaining momentum across industries and making it possible to move workloads seamlessly between cloud and edge locations, organizations need working recipes to find ways of extracting the most value out of their cloud and edge estate.
This book provides a practical way to build a strategy-aligned operating model while considering various related factors such as culture, leadership, team structures, metrics, intrinsic motivators, team incentives, tenant experience, platform engineering, operations, open source, and technology choices. Throughout the chapters, you’ll discover how single, hybrid, or multicloud architectures, security models, automation, application development, workload deployments, and application modernization can be reutilized for edge workloads to help you build a secure yet flexible technology operating model. The book also includes a case study which will walk you through the operating model build process in a step-by-step way.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build your own fit-for-purpose distributed technology operating model for your organization in an open culture way.

approach
Vision without execution is hallucination (Thomas Edison). With this in mind, this book takes a different approach which is neither “select your favorite cloud or edge provider first” nor “find a use case” but it’s a connected approach that links goals, associated strategies, operating model, guiding principles and people, process and technology with a focus on where the rubber hits the road with well-established feedback loops in an open culture way.
audience
If you are a cloud architect, solutions architect, DevSecOps or platform engineering manager, CTO, CIO, or IT decision maker tasked with leading cloud and edge computing initiatives, creating architectures and enterprise capability models, aligning budgets, or showing your board the value of your technology investments, then this book is for you. Prior knowledge of cloud computing, application development, and edge computing concepts will help you get the most out of this book.
