If you are curious about solution architecture, this book provides a comprehensive guide. You'll learn not only what is a solution architect, and what a solution architect does, but the various architecture patterns that solution architects use, with examples. This book also includes up-to-date technologies, like machine learning, generative AI, cloud, DevOps, and CI/CD.

Very good book. The author starts off very cloud-agnostic but very quickly develops a preference toward AWS. This is not a bad thing, but it does make the book sound a little biased. It is still a good book though. I recommend it to anyone who wants to really understand the Solutions Architect job role.
