Helpful if you want an extremely quick, basic and high-level rundown of the current themes that are prevalent in the cloud computing space, but not much help if you are hoping to upskill technically or learn what cloud computing services actually are. Not sure who the audience for this book is supposed to be. It’s full of typos, like all the review say.

Very poorly written. Lots of errors throughout the book. Consultant speak and completely useless in real world application.
by Old Flozer
The book is deliberately written so that it can be read as self contained topics rather than sequentially. While this might be time saving for some, it means that each chapter repeats basic information rather than there being any sense of progressive build up of knowledge. The level is more geared to a business reader trying to get an overview than to someone with pre-cloud IT knowledge aiming to get up to date. Some concepts are sketchily covered – for example containerisation is glossed in terms of what it achieves but not how it achieves it, or at what level it applies. Other terms, for example block storage, are used with no explanation at all. There are very, very few diagrams to explain concepts; I suspect with a few choice diagrams they could have saved about 80 pages of waffle. The editing is extremely poor – it clearly has never been proof read as there are many mistakes in the text. Not up to the standard of some other technology Dummies books.

There are constant errors throughout the book covering: grammar, spelling, bullet point summaries, tables…
It makes it just impossible to follow without getting more and more annoyed when you see yet another error. I don’t know how this could be published in this state. Genuinely shocking.

Great value, arrived in pristine condition, on time and carefully labelled and wrapped.
(Not completely finished reading the book yet but so far, completely satisfied)
