Beginning of 2024 i read the book "AWS for Solutions Architects: The definitive guide to AWS Solutions Architecture for migrating to, building, scaling, and succeeding in the cloud":
The book has 627 pages and consists of 16 chapters.
Due to the number of topics, the author wants to cover (and has to!) the book cannot really go into detail about all the services - but in my opinion that is not necessary. I really liked the network sketches in Chapter 4 and the 6 Pillars in chapter 9. But the rest also fits - there are various keywords or links for each area that provide a good introduction.
For anyone who knows other hyperscalers and is moving to AWS or is having their first contact with the cloud with AWS, this book should be a must-read.
I really liked chapters 9, 14, 15, 16 because they deal with the general topics. Here the author cares more about the reader's knowledge base than about the specific implementation in AWS (and he doesn't leave this out).
Absolute reading recommendation!
For more details please read my review at amazon (this time in german only) :)
(But maybe copilot or any other ChatGPT/OpenAI can translate that.
