Poorly written, abysmally edited, nevertheless: quite useful.

This had so many typographical errors, typos, sections rearranged across chapters. This was poorly written.
However, it did cover a range of topics to give description across a range of products within Microsoft Azure, which was the purpose I bought book, so it did serve some purpose.
There is also a strange mix of target audience for this: it gives some low level detail needed to set up with hands on examples, but doesn't quite give enough comparative high level descriptions to be a good architectural driven book.

It is good back for you to understand azure concepts. It speaks more about the different patterns of processing requests, implementing the data solutions, IOT, Serverless architecture, azure monitoring, DevOps practises with Azure, Monitoring.
It is a book for the ones who want to step from roles of Leads to Architects.

Badly written. Badly edited. The authors were simultaneously repetitive and unclear. The diagrams were poorly coloured and it was a lot of work to figure out which boxes or parts matched which part of the legend. I’ve tried a couple of other Packt Publishing books in the past and they’ve all had the same problems. I won’t be reading any more books from Packt.

Good book for learning the core components of azure...a little dated now.

a quick summary of key areas within Azure, but nothing new on top of the Microsoft documentation. Author appears to have a much stronger understanding of Ops than Dev, although wires about both.

Though it's titled for architects, It's actually for dummies.
The author goes to a great length in showing how to set up certain things. These are best left for lab exercises. The UI changes frequently and all these screenshots etc. will be irrelevant soon.
Also he doesn't do justice on other key factors involved architectural decisions, various patterns and practices, why we need that solution, competitive other products and solutions etc.
Overall I don't regret reading this book, but will recommend with caution.
