Marcio Morales knows Windows containers on AWS better than anyone. Technical books vary a lot in quality these days. This is the real deal: it's clearly written and is full of gems.A theme throughout the book is blending modern infrastructure and legacy infrastructure, which most enterprises are dealing with. In Part 1, Marcio explains why Windows Containers are important, how they work, and the AWS services that can host them. I particularly liked the discussion of container orchestration services and considerations for making the right decision. Parts 2 and Part 3 delve into the details of Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. Both Kubernetes fans and the Kubernetes-averse will find valuable guidance here. Finally, Part 4 covers the operational aspects of Windows containers on AWS. This includes monitoring, logging, and lifecycle. I particularly liked the chapter on using an image cache strategy to boost performance. He also covers AWS deployment and modernization tools.What I appreciate most about this book is how practical it is: it's focused on lessons learned in the field working with real customers. I learned a lot from it, and I recommend it to anyone considering or working with Windows containers on AWS.

I am learning about AWS and used this book to research containers and how Windows and Linux differ. If you NEED Windows then you can make it work. That’s great. If you don’t (my app is cross platform) the you should probably use Linux. I found what I needed in this book.
