I enjoyed reading this book and thought it was very well written and better than video presentations of the fundamentals of Azure. I highly recommend it if you are trying to pass the AZ-900 certification.

Este libro explica muy bien todos los conceptos fundamentales de la computación en la nube, más allá de solo enfocarse en pasar el examen az900. Te invita a realizar laboratorios y ensuciarte las manos. Tiene un vocabulario fácil de entender y el contenido está bien estructurado.

I've read 3 AZ-900 Fundamental books and this one by far is the best. I like that the author goes a little deeper to explain things. I found it well worth the money.

There are some real gut-punchers of typos in this book. In the first chapter there are two paragraphs that are basically duplicated, minus a few words here or there, not to mention misspelled words and garbled grammar. It is clear as day that no one proofread this. And again, as with all Packt books, the reviews are loaded, 5 stars!The material itself is a good enough (at times) bird's eye summary of AZ-900 concepts (itself very high level), which is why I gave this a 2 instead of a 1. If you're willing to put up with typos and occasional redundancy, it's an okay treatment. Other times you can tell how lazy the authors were, scraping the most basic possible information from the landing page of an Azure resource targeting business people (and not tech people), putting it into a paragraph, and then pumping out another sentence of filler along the lines of "In this section you learned about Azure VMs. In the next section, we will learn about Azure VNets." That section then opens, "In this section, we will learn about VNets." Except these sentences are longer and fluffier, and you feel your life being wasted as you're reading. A very Packt strategy.The "Hands-on exercises" are a total joke. "Creating an Azure web app" for example, is going into the portal, searching for App Service, and then clicking create and filling in required information like resource group. And then hitting "Create". *That's it*. And all the hands-on exercises are like this. Search the thing you want to create, walk through the creation blades in 15 seconds, suddenly you are an Azure expert!
