"The Self-Taught Cloud Computing Engineer" by Dr. Logan Song is a great resource for anyone who wishes to dive into the world of cloud computing concepts as used by the wider tech industry today. I really liked the pacing of the book as it starts with key concepts of cloud computing, slowly building an understanding of the fundamental blocks, like the various service models of cloud computing, using AWS and its services as a practical analogy. Overall, the book offers a nice blend of the theory of cloud computing as well as the implementation of that theory as provided by "Big-3" cloud platforms: AWS, GCP, and Azure, in the form of their various service offerings.Furthermore, there are various diagrams and helpful illustrations throughout the book which make the reading experience so much better and intriguing, Dr. Song has done an amazing job in simplifying core technical concepts like cloud networking and infrastructure, making it easier to follow along as the book begins to deal with more complex topics in later chapters. This book surely made my foray into the world of AWS so much more interesting and also turned out to be a great resource in preparing for the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification exam.
