Synopsis

Everyone uses the cloud to either access or deliver services, and those services are moving to the edge, where the real world meets the virtual. And while the hyperscaler cloud providers are eager to manage those edge clouds as an extension of their data centers, they do not have a monopoly on the know-how to do so. This book lays out a roadmap that a small team of engineers followed over the course of a year to stand up, operationalize, and then continue to operate an edge cloud, the Aether platform.
