What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

ShortA great reference guide filled with detailed implementation design examples in the do-it-yourself fashion, showing best practices to cloud applications design. Can serve as a basic toolkit for building more complex designs as well as practical guide to AWS operations. Complements nicely AWS Cloud Design Patterns (CDP).FullThis book is aimed at architects, solution providers, and DevOps interested in repeatable implementation patterns for deploying and maintaining services in the Amazon Cloud infrastructure. The beginning of the Implementing Cloud Design Patterns for AWS covers general cloud-related introductory topics, cloud computing service models, benefits of moving to the cloud, and some specific concerns related to AWS (i.e. over- and under-provisioning). The rest of the book is focused on different patterns in high availability, data processing, operations and maintenance, networking, and dynamic infrastructure.I like the way the content of this book is organized. The author introduces some atom patterns (i.e. Stamp pattern) and then reuses them while explaining more complicated scenarios (i.e. Multi-server pattern). He starts with the very basic topics to finish with the more complex ones: microservices, DevOps and infrastructure as code, temporary development environments or continous integration. I wish the latter topics were described in greater detail. Maybe this would happen in the next release of this useful book?The structure of the book is based on AWS Cloud Design Patterns (CDP), a collection of solutions and design ideas for using AWS cloud technology to solve common systems design problems. I find it as an implementation guide for the patters defined on the CDP website. All use cases are shown in a consistent way with step-by-step instructions of how to simulate/accomplish them using AWS Management Console or third party tools like Vagrant or Varnish. Readers will need some basic AWS knowledge though to better understand what is happening in the background while performing these hands-on exercises. As the book complements the CDP, I would recommend readers to start with the pattern descriptions on the CDP website and then refer to the book, to see how to implement specific patterns. Both, the book and the website, play very nice together and can become a valuable asset in a cloud architect’s library.I like the author’s recommendations and caution points which can be found throughout the book. In my opinion the are very valid and represent quite pragmatic approach to topics being discused. The book consists of screenshots, short comments and command-line or code snippets, very concise and straight to the point.The book could be also used by readers not very interested in the cloud design but just wanting to get some guidance on how to play with some AWS-based services (instantiating EC2 images, configuring ELBs, working with S3 and so on). Links to specific sections of AWS documentation available in the book may also help with deeper understanding of how services described in the book actually work.As the move to cloud infrastructure brings to the table a huge set of questions on how to handle issues such as load balancing, content delivery networks, failover, and replication, this book can definitely help to tackle all of them one by one.

Very essential and yet effective. A perfect introduction to the Amazon AWS service

david Aug 14, 2015

It covers all deployment patterns on AWS: Networking, Maintenance, Monitoring, DB, Backup, Data, etc .. in a very practical way with easily implementable simple examples. It is an interesting guide that offers ideas for deploying applications on Amazon AWS.Also in the final chapters refers to the interaction with other applications to integrate with AWS CI: Packer, Vagrant, etc ...Recommended to have an overview of what Amazon AWS can offer and provides different deployment patterns.

FireTV is unreliable as HELL ! Jun 19, 2017

By definition a design pattern is a tried and tested production grade solution, this book is just a collection of basic ideas which describe how a handful of AWS features work, it is full of caveats saying how the solution would not work in the real world.All in it's not worth much, the free AWS white papers contain better information, this is not even a 'complete' beginners guide.

I bought the Kindle edition.- The table of contents is not working on Kindle, so each time you need to jump to another chapter, you'll have to scroll back to the beginning of the book. This is quite annoying for a tech book!- The book is difficult to read and navigate overall.- All the examples are written in bash which is OK for sysadmin tasks, but this will hardly be the way you'll implement your applications.- The patterns are obvious and any developer with some experience can figure them out by thinking 5 minutes.- Worst of all, this book hardly handles any AWS service!! Kinesis? SNS? DynamoDB? Elasticache? Lambda?I'd expect from a book about patterns for AWS to use ElastiCache instead of setting up a Redis yourself.Don't waste your money on this.
