I recently picked up "AWS Security - Second Edition" by Laurent Mathieu, and it has proven to be an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of AWS security practices. As someone who works in the DevOps field, I found this book to be both comprehensive and accessible.Laurent Mathieu does an excellent job of breaking down complex security concepts into manageable sections. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of AWS security to more advanced topics like identity and access management (IAM), network security, and data protection. Each chapter is packed with practical examples and real-world scenarios that help to illustrate the points being made.One of the highlights of this book is its focus on best practices. Mathieu not only explains what to do but also why it is important, which helps in understanding the rationale behind various security measures. The inclusion of up-to-date information and the latest security features in AWS is another strong point, ensuring that the reader is getting current and relevant information.The book is well-organized and flows logically from one topic to the next. The clear explanations and detailed step-by-step instructions make it suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals. Whether you are setting up your first AWS environment or looking to enhance the security of an existing setup, this book provides the guidance you need.In conclusion, "AWS Security - Second Edition" is a must-have for anyone serious about securing their AWS environment. Laurent Mathieu's expertise and clear writing style make this book a valuable addition to any IT professional's library. Highly recommended!

A bit disappointing. It reads more like an official overview of AWS security but never goes into detail.
