Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.

Got this with Cloud FinOps book. Was valuable to have this practical guide for how to implement FinOps capabilities in AWS.

Amazon Verified review

Looking to start a FinOps practice but not sure where to begin? Not sure where to begin or how to save? Peter's book covers it all. He's read all of AWS service documentation to curate an easy to follow book with practical steps to start saving. Must ready, well worth the time and money invested for a huge gain.

As a Chief Product Officer, I've found this book written by Peter Chung to be incredibly information with both strategic and tactical details on how to manage and optimize costs with regard to cloud infrastructure. Peter defines FinOps as "the merging of financial accountability and management of cloud resources withcloud operations" and this book makes it clear on just how to do that. As any leader in the tech industry knows, cloud services and operations are fundamental to any software or digital platform and navigating how large, complex and technical products such as AWS can be tricky and confusing. This is further compounded by the fact that, it nearly requires you to be an expert in the service in order to even attempt to try to optimize financial and cost metrics. Reading this book is a short cut to understanding how to do that and I can't recommend it more.

Just read this new book, AWS FinOps Simplified: Eliminate cloud waste through practical FinOps by Peter Chung (Author). I learned many useful cost optimization and saving ideas/tools from this book, e.g. cost explorer, Anomaly detection with CloudWatch, Implementing tagging policies with SCP, Auditing with CloudTrail, Trusted Advisor, AWS Solutions, FinOps, AWS Billing Conductor, ... etc.I like Part 2 most, i.e. Part 2: Optimizing Your AWS Resources. It has 4 important chapters on how to optimize Compute, Storage, Networking and Cloud-Native environments (Auto scaling, ML, etc...) which can help SAVE a lot of $$$ !I also like Chap 12 which shows how to leverage and reuse existing customer ready AWS Solutions to save costs by instance scheduler and workspace cost optimizer.
