This book seems to be a bit light on some of the subjects. An alright resource but make sure you aren't using it as your only resource.

This book was a good help in studying for my Cloud Essentials exam but I found it to be too wordy when it came to explaining simple things. I really needed to think about what was being said.

Its aimed more for the business end of things than the technical which I found difficult even though I have a degree in business.

I probably wouldn't have passed the exam on reading this book alone. I used practice exams that helped me understand more about Cloud than the actual book.
