According to the title very essential. Book covers migration to Azure from IAAS perspective. It’s very ambitious to explain such big topic on 200 pages, therefore the book is mostly summary of technologies and tools, there are links to official Azure documentation. This is not a book for beginners, rather for people already familiar with Microsoft’s cloud looking for single place to start migration process.
