For anyone new to cloud computing this book is a very good introduction on cloud design patterns. The author has explained things in a very simple and elegant way. What I liked the most is that this book covers the various design issues in moving to cloud and has a running example in the page of photos sample.

Definitely I would recommend this book for anyone new to cloud computing and want to understand the different design considerations. Though the sample pages of photo app is developed in Azure, we can easily correlate to other platforms like Amazon Web Services.

Great chapters on the various cloud patterns usable within the Azure. I enjoyed the read as it related directly to azure but also found the more general sense of the book to be very helpful in applying to other providers such as AWS.

A good read for those starting on moving applications to the Cloud. It gives the various options and patterns to choose from.

The patterns are adequate to the task of giving a big picture; a nice to have should be a deeper insight on NoSQL trade offs.

I was not familiar with Azure prior to reading this. It gives a really clear picture on how to use the cloud as a platform rather than as infrastructure as well as giving an overview of Azure's capabilities. It is definitely Azure oriented so if you are using a different cloud platform it may not be as valuable.

I have been working as an architect for many years, and as a cloud architect for several. I was hoping to find a book full of use cases and samples (i.e., diagrams) on how to implement these specific patterns in the cloud using Azure components (as the name states). But instead i read lots of text about NFRs (non-functional requirements) that should be considered for various use cases. Its probably a decent book for beginning architects to understand NFRs and things to consider when moving to the cloud, but NOT for a architecture or design "patterns" book which i expect to contain specific solutions to different use cases. (I returned it)

Well written and thought provoking

Regardless the fact that there few code samples this book is very good. I read it non stop! its very well written

Sehr gut strukturiert, sehr gut zu lesen. Obwohl bei Beispielen für die Nutzung von Cloud-Dienstleistern primär Microsoft Azure (und erst nachrangig Amazon Web Service) genannt wird, so sind die vermittelten Konzepte und Techniken überhauptnicht Microsoft- oder Windows-spezifisch. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Its a OKish kind of experience after going through the book. Considering the complexity of the topic it would have been more prudent to give more examples than the Page of Photos (PoP) sample. Lot of patterns were covered at very high level for beginner kind of audience or Manager type folks...the Architect in me was left wanting for more

Cloud Architecture Patterns is a great book, for the first 5 or 6 chapters. I loved the Scale, Queue, AutoScale and Eventual Consistency. After that though the chapters became more 'scan and flip', some good things but still 'scan and flip'. Is it worth £12.00 - sure and I'm going to buy the second edition but unless those last 10 chapters improve it's still going to be 3 stars.

This is a very good book on what a technical architect needs to care about when writing cloud applications. The exposition is on an abstract level and the author clearly explains which patterns there are and when you should use them. The patterns are applicable to both Microsoft Azure and Amazon S3 services. All patterns matter and none of them are exotic or far fetched. the use of a fcititious example application (PoP) helps in seeing when to apply the pattern. As a technician I would have loved some code snippets to get a taste of the flavor of code that these patterns require but that's just my opinion. I have only one advice to anyone serious in cloud development : read this.
