Another technical manual in need of a few proofreaders and editors. English class was my least favorite, but now I know why it is so important. This book has so much badly formed content it made the true information confusing. I'm sure the author is quite intelligent, but you couldn't tell from the flowery and self-promoting text.

I may have gained one tidbit of information, but not worth the money.

Generic introduction

I was hoping for an in depth analysys of the options and differences between Azure and AWS.

Only useful as an introductory reading (with topics unbalanced though)
