  • Great for beginners!
Format: Paperback
A really helpful beginner guide. It breaks AWS down in a way that actually makes sense, without feeling overwhelming.

  • Great primer on AWS
Format: Paperback
This book provides a great overview of AWS and its ever-expanding cloud computing services. In first section, the author provides useful background on cloud computing definitions and concepts, and explains what AWS offers and how those offers are enabled. For a business reader (ie. not technical), part I of the book helps in understanding what is different about AWS from other cloud providers. Parts II & III dive into major AWS services, with instruction and exercises on how to use them. Part IV is a useful commentary on the benefits of cloud computing and AWS in particular. The examples, screen shots and text are straight forward and presented in a way that enables the reader to quickly learn and understand. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a comprehensive overview of Amazon Web Services. ... show more

  • Solid, accurate overview of AWS with good tips
Format: Paperback
Good overview for those not really familiar with AWS. I have to support (minimally right now) and it's just good to get to know the terminology, how it works, network concepts which are different than traditional methods, etc.. The AWS documentation is fine BUT voluminous to say the least and very dry to read. This is a good primer. ... show more

  • Then they explained how they publish stupid books about almost everything
Format: Paperback
This was my first purchase of dummies series. I was totally surprised why people around me started teasing me! Then they explained how they publish stupid books about almost everything. Though I got the reasons of their humiliations, I don't necessarily agree. IMO, every book has their targeted readers. There is no reason laugh at someone!!!! However, even if you agree on such jokes/humiliations, this books is totally above of that. This is a great book for the beginners. I wasn't complete beginner to AWS but it still helped me know about a few things that I missed earlier. I just skipped the things I already knew. ... show more

  • A great book that provides a thorough introduction
Format: Paperback
Its honestly a really good book - at first I wasn't really sold on it - it felt like it was missing details....but then about 1/3 of the way through the book - I realized that was getting a really education on the material. I was even cross referencing some of the material with the reference documentation on the AWS website and I realized that I was receiving the same material in a much cleaner / clearer fashion. I should say that this book will not make you an expert - but I think its a great introduction to the material ... show more

  • A must read for any AWS beginners!
Format: Paperback
I found this book to be very informative! As many books from this series, the book provides in easy to read manner, initial information and reference about public cloud computing with focus on AWS and in particularly on the cloud services like ec2, vpc, rds, s3 and etc... Recommended for anyone exploring Amazon Web Series (AWS) ... show more

  • Needs to be updated
Format: Kindle
I purchased and started reading this, but then realized it was last updated in 2013. Six years is an eternity in this field. It seems like this was a good book when it was released, but I'd rather invest my time into something more up to date. Returned it.

  • Good overview for semi-techies & techies
Format: Kindle
This is a good overview of AWS for people who want to understand what AWS offers -- semi-techies like me. Once it explains the multiple offerings, the book goes into depth about to work with the application programming interface -- the API that one encounters when using AWS. That part is more for techies than for "dummies". The one disappointment is that it doesn't discuss specific third party applications that can be used by people who prefer not to build their own applications to run on AWS, and who don't want to go to an outside developer. For example, there must be someone somewhere who offers a canned application for people who want to back up data such as photos or music to S3 or to Glacier. But the only 3rd party software mentioned is Backupify, which handles data you store in the cloud, but mot data on your on-premise servers. (If there isn't a commercially available backup app that does what services like Carbonite do, there's a business opportunity for anyone reading this review,) ... show more
