Vida longa e próspera pessoal! Hoje vou falar um pouco sobre esses dois excelentes livros que abordam virtualização e Hyper-V. Os dois são em inglês!
Eu recebo vários livros para avaliação, mas nem todos eu destaco ou recomendo, só os melhores mesmo. E esses dois títulos são muito bons!
Um verdadeiro “livro de receitas” contendo vários procedimentos, do básico ao avançado, sobre o Hyper-V, essencial para todos os administradores de virtualização.
O Lendro é um amigo que eu prezo bastante e acompanho o trabalho dele há muito tempo. Foi uma honra poder fazer o review e postar o meu comentário na Amazon.

O nome do autor é complicado, mas o livro é simples e claro! Esse eu recebi para review sem expectativas. Fui lendo aos poucos e não dá vontade de parar de ler!
O autor consegue um excelente mix de fundamentos e técnicas avançadas, apresentando o conhecimento de forma gradual. Se você não sabe nada de Hyper-V ou Virtualização, vai gostar do livro.
E se você já está acostumado com o Hyper-V, vai perceber que há bastante conhecimento extra nas entrelinhas, juto com técnicas e recomendações avançadas de vivência técnica do autor. Vale a pena!
