What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The book was a balance between conceptual explanations and practical applications, making it an enjoyable and informative read. The conceptual sections provided a solid foundation, while the practical examples showcased real-world scenarios and use cases. This approach allowed me to grasp the concepts and see how they could be applied in practice whether using Azure or another cloud provider.Overall, the book is a well-written and informative guide to cloud architecture using Azure and other services operating with Azure. The mix of conceptual explanations, practical examples, and integration with other cloud platforms make it valuable for both beginners and experienced cloud professionals.

The course was designed so well. It covers all the major topics and is good for beginners and experienced individuals who want a better understanding of Azure Pipelines.Thanks to Mr. Piti Champeethong and Mr. Roberto Mardeni for presenting it in an excellent way.

Pipelines should be easy, the concept is well-known, the details should be available and the scheme should make sense. However, getting pipelines up and running effectively can be challenging for many new teams. “Implementing CI/CD using Azure Pipelines” (Packt, 2024) by Piti Champeethong and Roberto Mardeni provides basic and advanced skills for developers, software engineers, and security engineers who are looking to expand their Azure skill set. After reading, I’m a big fan of the easy-to-use GUI associated with pipeline build suites associated with Azure. Twelve chapters are divided into three sections: the basics to get started, operating pipelines, and some advanced tips, such as integrating Azure DevOps with AWS or Flutter for maximum usage. The first section begins with administrative access to Azure, and setting up the basic Azure DevOps. This has a number of sub-programs that are useful later in the process. The document takes you through the initial GUI process, builds a “Hello World” application pipeline, and identifies some additional steps. The section also includes a brief introduction to YAML if you desire to work directly in the CLI modules instead of using the interface. The overall DevOps tool can also start with bringing code from other sources such as GitLab, GitHub, or other functions. The next section really dives into the meat of the book. First is getting pipelines to work through service agreements supporting .net, SQL, Node.js, docker, and others. These extensibility options are critical for anyone who has ever felt the pain of being locked to a single vendor. These integrations continue into security with using Sonarqube, Terraform, Jenkins, and other tools. Azure DevOps supports a marketplace where one can purchase or install plugins. Also useful, the section walks through setting up IAC when using the functions and demonstrates the observability with Azure DevOps. Another neat trick was bringing the observability tools that may be from plugins into a common dashboard. The last area starts with a product example. It builds a multi-aspect product with an Angular frontend, Python product catalog, Node.js for a shopping cart and asp.net checkout. The example uses REST.API to start the pipelines, and then incorporate Helm charts for the environment. After creating and deploying the sample app, the authors provide some common errors with solutions. As a great example, the book provides a path to build with Azure DevOps and then deploy those products to either AWS as an alternate cloud or Flutter for mobile applications. Unfortunately, the last touch offers some advanced looks: going out to the Azure page and looking at the publicly available roadmap. The book does a great job of working through step-by-step samples, and the end project is clearly a win. In some sense, the gap between the early and later steps is more significant. I would have liked to see some moderate-level skill tasks during the middle of the book but they don’t significantly impact the overall value. One other note: integrating security and testing was a little light. These are some of the most important parts of the pipeline. Defaulting to just integration leaves out some of the essential aspects of identifying those artifacts and prioritizing improvement. Overall, “Implementing CI/CD using Azure Pipelines” (Packt, 2024) is a great initial reference for moving in the Azure platform. As with any commercial platform, some of the more advanced implementations cost more. One interesting fact was that establishing concurrency in pipelines, running more than one pipeline at a time is a significant cost add to the system. However, if you are looking for a way to launch quickly in Azure, this offers an informative path to using Azure DevOps, and building products for any environment, or from any previous environment into an Azure outcome. Recommended for anyone working with Azure pipelines.
