Fundamentals of Cloud Application Architecture

Abstract

This chapter attempts to fill in the fundamentals for mission critical networked computing applications. It discusses the fundamentals of mission critical cloud applications and focuses on three objectives: maximal application survivability, unlimited application performance scalability, and zero data losses. These properties are desirable for all mission critical applications. The chapter describes the generic “DNA” sequence of the maximally survivable systems. It explores the historical background of the “DNA” sequence of maximally survivable systems, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the maximally survivable systems, and the introduction of Networked Computing Applications Archi..
