I'm using this for my studies in GCP Associate Engineer. Opening this book, it becomes immediately evident that the inclusion of sample code files is a significant advantage.The layout? Crystal clear and streamlined for easy navigation. It kicks off with the essentials, smoothly taking you on a journey through the meaty source material.Fast forward to April 2023, and this is the most up-to-date guide you'll find on the shelf. The progression? Well-structured, like a well-planned roadmap. For anyone serious about the cloud tech realm but still wanting a touch of flair in their reads, this one's a definite keeper. Highly recommended!

As an author myself, and a certified GCP Professional Cloud Architect I was impressed by the engineering-focused approach pursued by the authors. Here are a few highlights I’d like to share:- The exposition of the topics is easy to follow and is fully-aligned with the official exam guide. Some topics actually go beyond the official exam guide, e.g. Anthos Service Mesh.- The majority of the example implementations are provided using the gcloud CLI as a main tool, which is an excellent choice because proficient knowledge of the gcloud CLI is required to pass the exam. An adequate coverage of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is also included.- GKE’s implementation is thoroughly covered in two full chapters. Given the level of sophistication of GKE as a Google Cloud Managed Kubernetes service, this is another great addition.This book provides a comprehensive foundation to prepare for the GCP Associate Cloud Engineer certification, and is a natural progression to the GCP Professional Cloud Architect certification.

As someone deeply immersed in the world of cloud computing and its intricate architectures, I came across this book with high expectations. These expectations were not only met but exceeded, thanks to the engineering-focused approach adopted by the authors. This book is a standout in the realm of cloud certifications, particularly for those aiming for the GCP Associate Cloud Engineer certification and aspiring towards the GCP Professional Cloud Architect certification.The book's structure and content are its greatest strengths. The topics are presented in a manner that's easy to follow, perfectly aligning with the official exam guide. Impressively, it even delves into areas beyond the guide, such as the Anthos Service Mesh, providing readers with an extra edge in their learning journey.What I appreciate most is the practicality of the book. The use of the gcloud CLI in examples is a wise choice, given its importance in the exam. This hands-on approach, coupled with adequate coverage of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), equips readers with the essential tools and knowledge needed in the field.The detailed exploration of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) over two comprehensive chapters is particularly noteworthy. Given the complexity and significance of GKE in Google Cloud, this detailed analysis is invaluable for both novices and seasoned professionals.The book's detailed technical content is what truly sets it apart from others. Having perused numerous texts on cloud certifications, including AWS and Microsoft, I find this one to be exceptional. Its in-depth coverage and insightful explanations make it an indispensable tool for those preparing for the Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer Certificate.In summary, this book is more than just an educational resource; it's a crucial tool for career advancement in cloud technology. Its comprehensive nature, technical depth, and practical examples make it an essential read. If you're serious about making strides in the cloud computing world, particularly within the Google Cloud framework, this book is an invaluable asset. Highly recommended for its rich, well-crafted content and practical insights
