What exactly do you mean by this?
On one hand,you can treat "the cloud" as just a bunch of VMs, in which
case it's the same as building a web service anywhere else.
On the other hand, you can make your application aware of the "cloud
infrastructure," or you can write a second cloud infrastructure-aware app
that manages the web app; you'd do this so you could spin VMs up or down
as load changes, do A/B deploys (a/k/a blue/green deploys) by bringing
up new instances a you tear down the old ones, automatically spread the
load across availability zones, etc.

My guess is because it's too new a topic and there's a LOT to cover and
it's all changing fairly quickly so by the time someone were to write a
book (course, whatever), it would be out of date. Also, to really take
advantage of this stuff requires a strong programming background and
some good experience -- all it takes is one small bug and your monthly
AWS bill jumps from $23 to $2,300.
