[Fausto Betances · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great introductory book.
It becomes repetitive at times but that could be a good thing for those entirely new to the subject.
After finishing this book, I'm ready for more in depth knowledge.

[Richard Gunstone · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly good, recommend for a general overview particularly if you want to ensure you have consistent body of knowledge

Read as part of a post grad course. The concepts are interesting and the book is well structured. But the writing style is a bit too dry for my liking, although not as bad as reading a journal article. The book and the content would have been more engaging if it was written in a more layman's language, as I've seen in some other technical books, but I get that it is hard to achieve that sometimes. Overall, I will keep this book as reference as it has some useful material on cloud computing architecture.

While, there are definitely some concepts which you would want to understand deeply, this title is still a good introduction to the cloud technology.

There could be a lot of dissimilarities but it might not be entirely wrong to say that Cloud service is Swiss banking equivalent for data.

A good introductory book to have general overview about cloud computing if you are new to it.

[Rafael Cortes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great fundamental book, full of concepts that shaped the Cloud Computing Era since its birth. Due to the layered approach, it tends to be repetitive sometimes.

[Dario Maiocchi · Rating 3 out of 5]

good generic book

I teach this book I dont think it is good enough no tutorials or problems.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very general book to give you an idea of the cloud computing space. I'm not a professional in the cloud computing field, but I feel I can talk confidently about it after reading

[Nobbynob Littlun · Rating 1 out of 5]

I imagine that, if one were to take out all the grandiloquence and verbosity -- to express the useful content of the entire book in the most effective way possible -- you would have yourself a nice pamphlet.

Good read

Though it covers many concepts around cloud computing, The entire book could have been summarized in 30 pages. It is just too repetitive.
