The Self-Taught Cloud Computing Engineer." This comprehensive tutorial has been quite useful in improving my grasp of cloud computing technologies.The book succeeds in breaking down the complexities of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure into manageable chunks, making it a vital tool for understanding cloud infrastructures. It is especially useful for people who prefer hands-on learning because it includes lab activities, practical examples, and case studies that successfully combine theoretical principles with practical application.The parts on cloud security are extremely extensive, providing essential insights into best practices and safeguards for protecting cloud settings.Dr. Song's personal experiences and professional advice throughout the book enrich the learning experience while also inspiring continual growth and endurance in the rapidly expanding field of cloud computing.Overall, "The Self-Taught Cloud Computing Engineer" is more than just a textbook; it is a print mentor who guides both new and experienced IT workers. This book is a pillar of my academic and professional path in cloud computing, and it continues to be a go-to reference in my learning toolset.

I recently completed the book, and I must say it offers a commendably comprehensive journey into cloud computing. As a complete beginner to cloud computing, this book helped me secure a cloud computing certificate. One of the things I really liked about the book is that it has detailed step-by-step guidance enriched with images, which makes it very easy to understand the concepts. For example, in the first chapter, the author teaches how to launch EC-2 instances. Here, the author explains everything from what EC-2 instances are and what software and hardware configurations to use for your EC-2 to navigating the AWS cloud shell and generating keys with tools like putty, all with images detailing what steps to take with code snippets and explanations; the book leaves no stone unturned. Each chapter ends with summaries and practice sections, which help reinforce concepts and test understanding, making the learning process more effective. The concluding chapter, delving into the job market and potential roles in cloud computing, along with skill development insights, is a valuable touch. One way to improve upon the book might be to explain the answer key in the practice questions section. Sometimes, when I got the wrong answer, I wished the author had explained their reasoning. Overall, this book is an incredible resource for anyone navigating the vast landscape of cloud computing; highly recommended!

This book provides an amazing introduction to cloud computing, and also goes into more depth on each of AWS, GCP, and Azure. The labs were very helpful in providing a guide to a hands-on experience, adding another method of learning besides reading. I also enjoyed the personal guidance from Dr. Song in the last couple of chapters, as well as the practice questions for the various certification exams. One thing that can be improved is having examples of situations where you would use each service, since there were so many for each platform. However, this does not detract from the fact that this book is very well-written and contains much useful knowledge for someone looking to begin their journey into the world of cloud computing.
