I can't find "Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines" by Marie Karpos on Amazon.com. I'm guessing Cowell's publisher (Pakt) had something to do with that. Or maybe Amazon took it down to avoid more bad press?

I doubt Jeff Bezos pays attention to either of those?
Doesn't have to: colleagues will give one another benefit of the doubt...
The last paragraph mentions it was removed after the journalists asked Amazon what's up
