Multi-cloudAdvancedPre-order
$59340 pp.
Independent technical publishing
Books for engineers who have to make AWS and Google Cloud actually work.
Deep, opinionated titles on architecture, networking, data, security, cost, and platform engineering — written by engineers who run these systems in production, and edited until the hard parts are genuinely explained rather than linked to.

New releases
The four most recent additions to the catalog, including titles still open for pre-order.
Two clouds, two mental models
The primitives rhyme; the models do not. Read the one you are paid to know — or both, and stop translating on the fly.
The AWS path
For teams whose blast radius is an account boundary, whose queues quietly became load-bearing, and whose bill itemises every mistake. Start with the resource model, then go deep on event-driven design and reversibility.

The Google Cloud path
For teams working with a global VPC, a resource hierarchy that inherits IAM whether you meant it to or not, and the most coherent streaming model of the major clouds. Start with projects and identity, then go deep.

Identity Is the Perimeter
Cloud Security When the Network No Longer Protects You
Marcus Delacroix
A red teamer's account of how cloud environments actually get compromised — and the IAM design that would have stopped it.
You will come away able to
- Draw and audit the identity graph of an existing cloud environment
- Recognize privilege escalation paths through role assumption and impersonation
- Write least-privilege policies that survive real developer workflows
