Clear high level overview, poor production
Rated out of 5 stars, May 12st, 2009
Clear, well written overview of S3 and EC2. Somewhat marred by poor production - cheap paper, occasional blotchy print quality, several missing or truncated diagrams (e.g. fig 1-2 - who was the final proof reader!).
Despite all that, you will still get a decent feel for what EC2 does, and what it leaves up to you. -
Great technical book about AWS and how to use it.
Rated out of 5 stars, May 12th, 2009
This is a great technical guide on how to get started with AWS. The author has clearly got a lot of experience using the different AWS services, and shares his experience in this book by detailing best practices and things to watch out for. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to use AWS seriously.
