Review Cloud computing has changed the corporate world dramatically in a few short years and is now about to play a major role in scientific and engineering applications. This very timely book by Foster and Gannon is both a comprehensive overview and a practical guide to the services offered by the three major public cloud providers, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
