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.

A good hands-on introduction to OpenStack.The book starts from a typical OpenStack with RDO and PackStack, then introduces in turn the role of each of the main OpenStack components (Keystone, Glance, Neutron, Nova, Cinder, Swift, Ceilometer and Heat) - which is usually the main hurdle when starting from scratch with OpenStack. Each chapter is concise, with hands-on examples.The last chapters covers the basics of OpenStack scaling, monitoring and troubleshooting.This book is a good general introduction to OpenStack. I recommend it if your goal is to get a test installation running, having an idea of what is going on and being able to troubleshoot the most common issues!

In "OpenStack Essentials," Dan Radez concisely walks you through 13 chapters of the big ideas of using OpenStack for a virtualization platform. He introduces the components: control, network and compute, what they are, how to configure the individual pieces using their related tools from command line to the automated tools and some general ideas on directions to pursue with troubleshooting. There are 13 chapters covering architecture, installation, identity, image, network and instance management, block and object storage, telemetry, orchestration, scaling, monitoring and troubleshooting. Each individual chapter introduces the big ideas and then walks through the steps sequentially (command line, dashboards, etc) of how to actually carry out the steps. You could actually run these commands in your own lab to test it out. This book provides a very solid introduction to how to build and operate a virtual computing environment with OpenStack. If you need to deploy OpenStack and need help knowing where to start, this book can lead you through the fog, take you by the hand and help you get started. By way of experience, I have worked with VMware but never OpenStack and this title gave a very clear intro.

This is an excellent book for a developer who wants to learn the basics of using OpenStack. In a clear, straightforward and useful way it walks you through the process of setting up a personal OpenStack installation that you can experiment and learn with, walking you through the various modules step by step, and giving lots of practical tips and advice along the way.

Dan Radez talks to the point. No fluff whatsoever. Exact commands that need you get started. I read only 3 chapters yet, but I am already clear on what OpenStack is and what we can do with it. Of course, I have worked on AWS extensively, so relating the similarities was very easy.The way Dan has explained each of the components in Chapter 1 is very crisp and clear. I liked the way OpenStack has enforced Authentication as a key first step to get started, and again Dan has explained it very clearly step by step. Again no filling pages with outputs of each command. Just he required lines.Third chapter gets your installation ready and I can se at a glance the next chapters are showing how we get the AMI, then the instance and so on.Just a caution: this book, as the author clearly states, is not for learning cloud concepts or visualization etc. Definitely its is a starter guide for OpenStack.Great first book by Dan! Hope he writes an advanced one next!
