Conclusion
This book will teach you how to do subnetting of the IPv4 network.

Review
It is easy to read because the book is only 52 pages, what is more than enough to explain subnetting of the IPv4 network.

Has a lot of examples so it is easy to follow.

The first chapter is subnetting basics, and then there are 3 chapters for A, B and C class.

Interesting read, it shows the current state of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Review

Chapter 1 is explaining what is serverless computing.

The second chapter gives an overview of the current market.

Next three chapter give example how to implement it in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

The last chapter is demonstrating the agnostic approach.

Serverless computing is the topic that interests me a lot.

I see more advantages than disadvantages with serverless setup, especially cost (if I am charged by used resources and not by subscription) and scaling.
