Contrary to the book's title, cloud debugging and profiling were briefly touched. The book is full of basic descriptions of various Azure services with a lot of full-page screenshots. I expected an advanced book about APM for Azure services, so I am really disappointed that I had got an entry-level book about Azure

Review about this

It is a good to start with. However, advance audience would also find useful information. Although more technique on debugging would have been useful.
