Review Quotes:
This should be your first cloud book. I selected this book to get a strong foundation in what "being in the cloud" means. I learned that and much more. I am an older backend developer and wanted to start learning about the devops phenomenon. I selected this book in order to learn and appreciate some basic and fundamental concepts first. I highly recommend this book.
Great book to understand cloud technology. It is really useful to understand how cloud works. And this book will help you with that. For me as software engineer chapter about how Netflix works is the best.
Easy Read & Informative. I'm glad I read this book. I'm already a knowledgeable computer user but I still learned some interesting things. Specifically, the origin of the "cloud" and "internet" terms.: )
Five Stars. Very easy and clear reading. The title is actual and honest.
Funny and informative. This is a fun and easy to read book that explains the Cloud in a simple and easy to consume way. Love it!
I think is a great book for those who have no idea what the cloud is. It is easy to understand and uses lots of analogies that people can relate to. Obviously there are a million different ideas associated with the cloud but for folks that just want to know what the heck everyone means when the talk about the cloud, this book will help.
An easy read. I am glad I read this book. Truly worth the time. Waiting for such a book on Machine learning and AI;)
