"GCP Professional Architect is one of the highest paying jobs, along with GCP Professional Data Engineer. For this reason, it makes sense to have at hand one of the most extensive books on the subject. Well-written + screenshots + tips + mock tests to help you prepare for your certification exam. Even if you're already a cloud architect, this awesome book that you have in front of you is a masterpiece that will help you with your daily tasks working with the Google cloud."

"I've been learning GCP since 2014 and in the last few years Google Cloud has grown exponentially, with the enhancement of core services and certification exam updates every 1.5 2 years. I've read the book [] and it helped me fill in a few gaps in my knowledge. Konrad and Brian are experts in this area and they explain all the concepts very well. Be it networking or the new GCP services which form part of the latest version of the exam, everything is concise and clear."
