Patterns for Cloud Architecture
Anyone who is involved in cloud solution design knows that how handy it is to be able to use patterns in order to take advantage of best practices, avoid pitfalls and rely on other fellow experts' experiences. Especially when it comes to complex designs on hybrid clouds, when one should make a connection between corporate private clouds and public clouds, in order to make a bridge between systems of records (eg: ERP, CRM...) and systems on engagements (public cloud hosted e-Commerce sites...).
IBM puts at everybody's disposal a great site (for free :-) ) full of design / architectural patterns for hybrid clouds covering the following domains (for almost evert industry);
- Cognitive
- Data and Analytics
- e-Commerce
- IoT
- Mobile
- Security
Most of these patterns could be tested as is, the deployment code in on GitHub repository and everyone can either deploy directly to Bluemix or download the code to understand the full features.
To give a try go to "devloperWorks Architecture" Center https://developer.ibm.com/architecture/gallery and pick any of the patterns you're interested in!
