Azure management book recommendation

Hello,

I am just learning Azure administration and am looking for a good hands-on book covering the Azure Management portal. I will be doing a lot in the coming weeks, but right now I am concerned with

▪ Blueprints, ARMs
▪ Policy & policy initiative implementation
▪ Tagging for resources & resource groups
▪ Cost monitoring & management

On Amazon I found “Hands-On Cloud Administration in Azure: Implement, monitor, and manage important Azure services and components including IaaS and PaaS.” (https://www.amazon.com/Hands-Cloud-Administration-Azure-components/dp/178913496X) It sounds good, but it’s about 2 years old, and the technology seems to be changing all the time.

Does anyone know if this is a good book, or are there others you can recommend?

Thanks,
Rolf Hargis

    Hi,

    I have not personally read the "Hands-On Cloud Administration in Azure" book, but there is one that I've heard is great and its the following one:
    Inside Azure Management: The authoritative guide to Microsoft's hybrid management platform

    There's also a previous release of the Inside Azure Management book which is a free e-book, you can download it from here:
    [Inside Azure Management e-book

    Best regards,
    Leon
