My New book coming out - Building Database Clouds in Oracle Database 12c

After a lot of hard work, I am thrilled to announce that my new book on Oracle-centric Cloud Computing is becoming available in a matter of a few days.


I had been contemplating authoring a book within the Oracle Cloud domain for a few years—the project finally started in 2013. I am very proud of my coauthors’ industry credentials and the depth of experience that they brought to this endeavor. From inception to writing to technical review to production, authoring a book is a lengthy labor of love and at times a painful process; this book would not have been possible without the endless support of the awesome Addison-Wesley team.
 


You can order the book online at:
Amazon - Building Database Clouds in Oracle Database 12c

 


I have copied the Preface from the "Publisher's Website: Addison Wesley" to provide a brief overview to the Reader:

Preface

Cloud Computing is all the rage these days. This book focuses on DBaaS (database-as-a-service) and Real Application Clusters (RAC), one of Oracle’s newest cutting-edge technologies within the Cloud Computing world.
