Review: This is the only book you'll need to be a better AWS Solutions Architect - AWS Solutions Architects (SA) are deeply technical. They know how to use technology to help businesses solve complex business problems ranging from legacy systems modernization, data engineering to turn data into actionable insights, and adopting cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and quantum computing. This book allows that zoomed-out view to see the big picture through a set of intelligently curated chapters and sections. And in each chapter zooms in to uncover the nitty-gritty details of the craft of solution architecture. The book really scores if you are an aspiring architect - the authors have dedicated the first four chapters to lay a solid foundation of solution architecture. The chapter on soft skills is the absolute icing on the cake - only an insider can provide such insights on how to succeed as an AWS SA. Just follow along, and over a weekend, if you are a fast reader, you'll become a better SA. The chapters on designing high-performance, reliable, cost-efficient, secure, and efficient operating systems for today's businesses are like gold dust. Any SA worth its salt should know these like the back of their hand. I liked the chapter on quantum computing, but it left me asking for more because it's such an engaging topic. As the technology and its mainstream adoption evolve, we'll get a deeper understanding hopefully in the next edition. This is a great book, and I would like to congratulate both the authors for writing what could be a timeless classic. I am not a fast reader, but I could read cover-to-cover in a couple of weekends. I sincerely hope this adds value to anyone who wants to learn the ropes and be a better SA.
Review: A book to embark on a journey of the solution architect role - The book walks you through the patterns and strategies that will help you prepare for a role as a Solutions Architect. The 2nd edition of Solutions architect’s handbook added new chapters on emerging technology such as AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Quantum computing while expanding on new topics like blockchain and various big data design patterns including data mesh, lake house, data lake, streaming data with the reference architecture. Each chapter refreshed, keeping the latest industry trend such as the cloud in mind with new topics like defining multi-cloud strategy approach, cloud-native architecture, Cloud DevOps and mainframe modernization, etc. The key takeaway for me, to grow as a solution architect, you need to have the breadth and depth of technology and soft skills to work at all levels of the organization, from engineer to C-level. You also need to have the strong business acumen to drive ROI while defining overall enterprise IT strategy. Solution architect has a critical role in accelerating enterprise digital journey by helping them upgrade to a more efficient tech stack and introducing emerging technology to help them stay ahead of the competition. I will recommend this book to anyone looking to embark on a solution architect role.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent coverage of a very broad topic
*by E***H on April 14, 2022*

This book attempts to cover what is a very broad topic, that of solutions architecture, in a way that is concise enough to cover the basics - but in enough depth to still be useful. Realistically some of the areas will be of less value over time (e.g. any specifics around AWS), but there are many areas of this book that are extremely valuable regardless of anything in technology as time passes. In fact, some of the most useful parts are those that are technology agnostic, or not related to technology at all. The section relating to soft skills may be one of those most high value sections, yet overlooked by many at the end - but in reality, the hardest skill to develop. If you are looking for a cookbook to resolve some issue, this is not it - and that is good. This book, if read carefully, is hugely valuable and speaks to methodologies that should prove useful as the industry evolves - as long as this type of role continues to exist. It explains approaches and ways of thinking that are the long term value prospect here.
