Best Book for studying Vcloud Director

[rurffy]

Hi Guys,

Please can any one recommend a good book for Vcloud Director ?

I'd just suggest looking at Amazon or similar for top rated books by users.  There aren't many out there, but I would just make sure it's based on vCloud Director 5.1.x or newer.  This is because the GUI had an overhaul in 5.1.0 and is completely different than the 1.x generation.

I bought Simon Gallagher's VMware Private Cloud Computing with vCloud Director last summer when it first became available - at that timke it was the only one out there. It's pretty good. Looks like there are a couple of other choices now.

vCloud Architecture Toolkit. It's free and fantastic.

Here's a link

VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit: Cloud Computing Reference Architecture | United States

You can also purchase it as a hardcover book if you'd prefer.

Another vote for Simon Gallagher's VMware Private Cloud Computing with vCloud Director. It's very readable and covers vCloud in detail.

I've also got VMware vCloud Director Cookbook from Packt Publishing which is also good.

There is a chapter about vCloud Director in the second edition of the VMware vSphere Design book.

Simon Gallagher hands down is the winner for sure, this is a no brainer.

Well explained good diagrams, covers all the important stuff nobody else does. API / AMQP etc.
