Fugue’s declarative approach to infrastructure deployment and management should appeal to anyone who has struggled with building and running distributed applications at scale.

Infrastructure management has changed rapidly and dramatically in the past few years. Where we once thought about servers, networks, and uptime, we are starting to be able to think in terms of full application stacks. The notion of what a “computer” is is expanding, and with it we need to think differently about what an operating system is. Fugue is the embodiment of this new, higher-level way of thinking about distributed applications management. This book is written by the creators of Fugue–some of the world’s most forward-thinking experts on infrastructure management. Even if you’re not planning to deploy Fugue (though consider it!), it will change how you think about systems administration forever.

A good book for any enterprise that wants to look at setting up infrastructure in AWS. Fugue provides some patterns out of the box that leverage a wealth of experience. I will be recommending this book to coworkers who are looking at migrating some of our applications to AWS.

Cloud computing represents the greatest shift in computing in more than a decade. But the promise of the cloud is unrealized. The cloud isn’t just about shedding the physical data center—it’s about shedding the data center mindset. Cloud infrastructure can be controlled via API calls. This means we can view it as a giant general-purpose computer—and program it. That’s where the Fugue operating system and the Ludwig language come in. They automate the creation, operation, enforcement, and termination of infrastructure in the cloud.
This definitive Fugue guide starts with a simple website and moves on to a more robust application with evolving infrastructure needs as you walk through the steps to harnessing the cloud. With Amazon Web Services, launch infrastructure quickly. Debug in design time. Automate deployment and enforcement of your cloud. Centralize your change control process and automate continuous auditing. Rest easy knowing configuration drift, unwanted changes, and infrastructure quality issues are addressed, continuously and automatically. Hands-on chapters lead you through creating this application step by step.
If you’re a software engineer, architect, DevOps professional, or enterprise team leader using cloud computing for running applications and websites, this book will change the way you view cloud computing.
