The book covers current (2021) exam topic according to AWS exam blueprint, provides a few inside information on how AWS works, although not needed for exam. Having hands on in AWS is the most effective way of learning and fixing concepts for the exam and when working with it. Mostly it covers the new AWS patterns to achieve scalability and agility in your cloud solutions.My opinion is that the authors are truly subject matter experts who actually know how to write. The editors did a great job publishing this book.

Alberto has provided an encyclopaedic compendium of what a modern architect needs to know to use the cloud and the AWS cloud specifically. The book ties this knowledge together and brings it to life with examples, anecdotes and explanations.If you are, or aspire to be, a cloud architect using the AWS cloud, this is the resource you are looking for. Well-organized and accessible, the material is digestible without skimping on substance.For those who may be new to the AWS cloud, the section on use cases for key AWS services helps the reader navigate the almost overwhelming number of services in the AWS ecosystem and transitions into how those services apply in the broader categories of software, platform and infrastructure. And if, as one colleague wrote, "data is the new oil in the economy", then the section on selecting and deploying data-related services will be of value to all--architects, developers or admins--who choose to work within the AWS Cloud.For experienced cloud architects or those with some AWS experience, the sections on Patterns and Reference Architectures can help you do the job now. And while the potential of these architectures are covered in some detail via clearly articulated best practices for each, this is not "technology cheerleading". Honest discussion of the benefits of particular concepts (eg., event-driven architectures) are balanced with a sober assessment of their limitations or risks. If you work on enterprise client projects, the section on Data Lake patterns is particularly relevant as these organizations look to turn data into insight. Like other sections, though, this section discusses the many non-technical pre-requisites (data governance and data quality for example) that are the hallmarks of a successful real-world project.If there is any part of the book that fails to live up to the overall high standards, it might be the section on hands-on labs. The section provides a good review of various tools, programming languages, etc., but the actual hands on activities are somewhat difficult to convey in this medium.Overall, this book has something of value to offer everyone who is already, or hopes to be, working in the AWS cloud. Nicely done!

This a great book every cloud architect should read, Alberto has covered a wide range of topics that are meaningful for both beginners and experienced cloud practitioners.This book covers the application security best practices and reference architectures very well along with hands on exercises.The AWS certification path is defined very well and focus on the 2021 exam pattern will help aspiring architects preparing for their certification.Overall a great book to learn key concepts.

I'm more than half way through the book, but I didn't want to wait until I finished to write a review. If there are other architects out there like me who are just starting their journey working in the cloud, then you'll want to get this book. This is one of those books that you'll keep on your (virtual) desk and go back to.I got my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification this past December, and felt overwhelmed with the amount of training videos and information being presented. I wish I had this book because the first two sections does a great job of presenting that same information in a clearer and concise way so that the user starts with a solid foundational understanding.I'm halfway through the third section of Architectural Patterns and Reference Architectures and I can't believe how much of my learnings I've been able to apply to my projects. I have a better understanding of the designs being proposed by the consultant development teams, and feel confident that my feedback to the team ensures that the solution adheres to our architecture guidelines and principles and aligns with the overall IT strategy.I wasn't sure if I wanted to get other AWS certifications, but this book has changed my mind. AWS Certified Solutions Architect... I'm coming for you.

The AWS environment has so many options, and this book is a good way to learn what's available. Other offerings will be necessary to learn infrastructure as code, or to get AWS certifications, but getting a good foundation first via this book definitely has helped me.
