What you need for this book

This book assumes a medium level on networking knowledge, a basic level of Linux knowledge, a basic knowledge of cloud computing technologies, and a broad knowledge of IT. It is focusing primarily on particular process workflows that can be implemented rather than base technologies, so the ideas and content can be applied to any organization, no matter the technology that is used.

However, that being said, it could be beneficial to readers to access the following technologies when digesting some of the chapters' content:

• AWS https://aws.amazon.com/free/
• OpenStack http://trystack.org/
• Nuage VSP http://nuagex.io/
