Good survey of the cloud computing landscape, but repetitive and overly wordy. Each chapter is a cookie-cutter copy of the previous one applied to different topical material. Becomes dull very quickly. Really don’t need all those tedious instructions on using the different cloud platforms. Leave those for platform-specific manuals. Good set of topics though.
