Visualizing Google Cloud: 101 Illustrated References for Cloud Engineers and Architects 1st Edition

Great resource but somewhat dated. Collection has significant amount of material consolidated in easy to read form. Even though some of the services and resources are either deprecated, renamed, or different, this is a great place to start your cloud journey with Google. It SHOULD be updated but I think the author has moved on to another competitor. Google, pick this up somehow and update the material if you want more peeps to use your platform.

This book is genius! Don't let the comic stick people and pretty colors fool you. It is chock full of information. Study the picture. Really look at what it is telling you. Then on the next page there will be a subtitle/question like "Why Containers?". See if you can answer the question based on the picture. I bet you can. Write a little note. Then read the paragraph to see if you were right and fill in your knowledge gaps. I bet if someone reads the book in this way the material will really stick. Or you could just keep it on your shelf as a reference guide and grab it when you need to refresh your memory. That would work too. Bottom line, this book is a deceptively comprehensive guide worth studying and keeping in your library.

The Cloud bible... you could easily extrapolate this knowledge to any cloud native, hybrid or even on premises (open source) environment. It helped me to gain the basis of cloud services, infrastructure, security and others... This book is a must for aspiring Cloud - DevSecOps Engineers / Cybersecurity Specialists... Absolutely great work Priyanka, loved your book!

In my busy life I’ve been too busy to even crack this book open for real but it’s definitely informative. Great for visual learners

(The Cloud Girl) Priyanka Vergadia's Sketch Notes are amazing. - I wish I could take notes like this! - While this content is available for free online (if you are willing to click through hundreds of pages) I am really grateful to have this content in physical "book" format to read, highlight, circle bits, write on, and reference.In the print edition, some of the diagrams are pretty small. - I wish it was in 9" x 11" landscape, and formatted to allow the diagram to take up the entire page (rather than wasting 1" margin around each side).Overall: highly recommended! As there are new editions of this book I would buy them for sure.

A great guide and reference I use daily like support in my work, wonderful

Great, easy to read explanation of many different functions and features in the Google Cloud environment. Liked the illustrations, they helped to visualize the relationships between the many components. Helped me pass the architect certification test.

Amazing content, don't underestimate how much you'll learn from this. Great to unplug and study away from a screen. I was excited to sit down with it and flip through it, almost like looking at a book on dinosaurs when I was a kid. I wish it was a larger size like a coffee table book, and would have preferred gloss pages to help the colors pop more, but won't take a star for that, maybe next edition. I understand keeping the price lower since it's a study guide not a display piece but I see it as both! Great work Priyanka!
