Make sure to give it a watch 💪🏼

How do we apply the code? I don’t see 25% discount applied. Thanks

[@zinebmharchi8846]

Thank you for sharing ! The code doesn't seem to work from amazon canada

[@kapi13adam]

It doesn’t work in Germany, I would have bought it 😢

[@suhasgavhane6361]

Thanks Ilyas…I just ordered a book…looking forward to follow you.!!!

Btw, I did deep dive into one of its key chapters called "Learning Soft Skills to Become a Better Solution Architect” with the goal of capturing its main ideas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSzlmd-ibSZbcU Hopefully, that would help 💪🏼 and sorry about the code again, not much I can do

Hello Ilyas ) As I understand, the "review, interview, salary" and other "discussion type" videos are more relatable to the audience and get more views. However, I just wanted to say that your crafting videos are also awesome ) Like for example your arduino projects or car upgrades, they look cool ! If you ever find an interesting hack in your life that involves engineering, make a video about it ) I am sure it will be appreciated. Please let me know what you think about this )

[@WinTheCloud]

Thank you for voicing this out, you confirmed my assumptions. Now, I can really say that I was covering two subjects on the channel: DIY Home Automation (Arduino, ESP32, Sensors...) and Cloud Computing Careers. But the YT algorithm doesn't like this. Building a YT channel is about focusing on one niche, and being a creator on KZbin, unless you're an MKBHD or iJustine, well you're a slave to the algorithm: Say I release a video about electrical engineering, my viewers who follow me for my Cloud Computing content will not click on it, or if they click, they will leave under 30 sec. This tells the algorithm that the video is bad and it just stops promoting it. Now if I release a video about Cloud Computing, my viewers who are here for Engineering stuff would do the same... Here is what I ended up doing: I created a new channel to focus on Engineering videos and started moving my existing engineering videos to it. I'm a one-man operation and my viewership is not that big for me to be able to support two channels, but at least I'm able to provide the right content for the right viewers without confusion. I love making engineering videos, and now I feel I can do it without compromise. I haven't started promoting the new channel yet, but this is its link if you're interested kzbin.info/door/PLAcnOvckpVvFvzqWvUakwvideos

Awesome, thank you so much for bringing this book to my attention. Keep up the great videos! :)

[@balwinderkaur12]

Thank you for sharing the review. I came across this video today but bought this book last week.I sure do agree that this is a great book for architecture. Cannot wait to spend more time reading and learning more.

[@WinTheCloud]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SaurabhShrivastava]

Thanks! For detail insight and putting comprehensive review

[@balwinderkaur12]

Thank you Saurabh and Neelanjali for writing the book. Got started with book last week. Can’t wait to spend more time and learn more.

If you could do it again how would you do it? Also, how do you become an effective SA

[@KevinBrown-lt1de]

I just bought this book and I’ve excited for what it has to offer.

[@WinTheCloud]

Awesome! I made a video about the last chapter, hopefully I was able to capture the gist of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSzlmd-ibSZbcU

[@backkwek7122]

Is this recommended to use to get certified?

[@WinTheCloud]

It will definitely help

[@hernanriospinedo]

Does the book have a Spanish translation?

[@WinTheCloud]

I don't believe it does

[@muhammedbesirovic3311]

Is this book targeting AWS only ?

[@WinTheCloud]

Yes, only AWS

[@urdarkside1]

Hi Ilyas, How do you remember and study technical things?

[@WinTheCloud]

Hum... Practice I guess, the more you put something to use, the more it will stick ;)

[@hmnoweder]

Thanks iLayas for the review. Do you recommend reading the book as hard copy? Any concerns with the Kindle version? And do we receive a pdf soft copy with the purchase?

[@WinTheCloud]

Hi Hamza, I personally use the digital copy more than the paper one - easier to search through the content ;)

[@kaizendae]

Thank you.

[@WinTheCloud]

You're welcome!

[@leetoowey]

Hello Ilyas. Great feedback on this book. Just so you know, the 25% discount link doesn't work. Maybe expired? Thanks

[@WinTheCloud]

It should've been expired by now, sorry friend!

[@MissSamso]

Is this book specific to AWS ?

[@WinTheCloud]

Yes, it is. But many concepts can be applied to any other cloud provider

[@jeezgordon3555]

This was soo helpful 💥💥

[@WinTheCloud]

Glad you think so!

[@T-London]

Really appreciate your review on this. One quick question, would you say the physical book would be better than the ebook? I think you have both as you have it on your laptop screen. Also, does the code only apply if in the USA, it told me it was invalid. Thanks again

[@WinTheCloud]

The publisher confirmed the promo code only works on Amazon.com, sorry about that. I personally find the digital version to be easier to work with as it allows me to find content faster with a quick search

[@carlosroberto366]

Bonjour Ilyas, that books seems very targeted to AWS SA, correct? (very bored of superficial books really) I mean, it is not for the usual SA who would need software development background I suppose. PS: Is that Kindle digital version ? If so, can one open the book with Kindle Reader (desktop)? I am implying you were using it.

[@kingnathanal]

At first I was worried about it being very AWS focused before I bought it but I’m glad to say there are a lot of concepts in the book that would apply in general to all not just those focused with AWS

[@carlosroberto366]

@@kingnathanal Thanks for the feedback! I have a vague memory of seeing this book last year and some negative comments which I don't remember why caused me to remove it from my wish-list. I am thinking of pairing this book with a software architecture one, it would be a good combo.

[@WinTheCloud]

Bonjour Carlos, the book is built around AWS services but a lot of concepts can be applied to a different cloud :) I personally find the digital version to be easier to work with as it allows me to find content faster with a quick search, and yes I opened it on my desktop using the Kindle Desktop
