To help you get the most of each cloud platform, Microsoft released a free e-book, Cloud Design Patterns: Prescriptive Architecture Guidance for Cloud Applications, that introduces some Cloud Specific Design Patterns. It contains twenty-four design patterns and ten related guidance topics that articulate the benefits of applying patterns by showing how each piece can fit into the big picture of cloud application architectures. It includes code samples and general advice on using each pattern.
