Prior experience using AWS is required as the book focuses more on the patterns and not on the basics of using AWS.

The characters were very mechanical, and the plot followed a few recognizable patterns, but I liked it anyway.

Too much topics in only a few pages. The programming examples are just terrible. It might be good for an university project, but not for a book!

Given the title, I have thought to find cloud design patterns specific for the AWS. There is NONE. It feels more like a short list of the different services offered by Amazon.
