Full Description

Cloud is the foundation for the AI era and a lauchpad for what comes next, such as quantum computing and 6G. But you can no longer rely on a strategy that treats the cloud as a static destination. It is multiplying. AI is reshaping infrastructure. Sustainability is dictating architecture. And the fragmentation of multicloud, hybrid, and edge environments is breaking traditional operating models. In this era of relentless disruption, CTOs, CIOs, and cloud architects face a defining question: How do you architect for endurance and continuous adaptation not just adoption?

Enterprise Cloud Strategy and Architecture in the Age of AI is your strategic compass a vendor-neutral lens for navigating this evolving landscape. Rather than revisiting fundamentals or offering vendor-specific guides, the book provides strategic guidance on the six enduring frontiers shaping modern cloud decisions: multicloud, industry clouds, edge computing, hybrid models, green cloud, and workload repatriation. It bridges strategy and execution with SCORPS an industry-inspired framework that distills timeless architectural principles and blueprints the adaptive operating models and internal platforms needed to execute at enterprise scale. Throughout, it decodes the impact of AI on these domains, equipping you to navigate the transformation with confidence.

The book keeps the guidance grounded through Rivolinx Global, a fictional yet deeply realistic multinational grappling with cloud complexity across industries, regions, and operating models. Through its decisions and trade-offs, you see how strategy, platform design, workload placement, and organizational alignment intersect in real enterprises. Whether you are modernizing your estate across AWS, Azure, GCP, or other clouds, rethinking your cloud operating model, or architecting for AI and next disruption this book delivers the frameworks, language, and clarity to lead with authority.
