Well After watching CBT Nuggets on AWS Fundamentals I read this book as a reference and it's complete. It covers everything. The vpc part can be described a little bit more, the routing table concept can be confusing for beginners. It has case study exercises which cover the whole topic. Thank you Brian Beach Thank you Apress

Good integration of PowerShell with AWS DevOps for those administrators who prefer command line-level control or scripted builds.
