Es un libro que trata los casos mas generales, sin embargo contiene una gran variedad de temas que a mi juicio son importantes, obviamente existen muchos huecos debido a lo extenso que es Azure.
Es cuestión de gustos el uso de PowerShell, puede haber a quien le parece bien, pero para mi, hubiera estado mejor que se usara en todo el libro Azure CLI, porque es una herramienta mas general para manejo de esta nube.

This was a good overview of all components in the realm of azure. covers a wide variety of solution architecture that can be implemented in azure. the book is ideal for a seasoned architect who is looking to draw solutions up in azure. The book does not go into details on components as well but that is expected.
