Got offer from aws, your videos are really helpful. I enjoyed and learned a lot from you.Thanks a lot dada.

[@cloudwithraj]

AMAZING! Congrats. Glad my videos helped, but YOU did all the hard work. Ping me internally once you join.

[@shiladityadassharma4593]

@@cloudwithraj planning to join by May mid or June. I will definitely ping you.

@@shiladityadassharma4593 Nice. Today is a great day. Another student of mine got offered AWS job today after working in mainframe and analytics for long time. Messages like this are the reasons I love to teach!

Shiladitya Das Sharma hi

[@tarundhameja5856]

Kindly me as well with the question asked in the interview looking forward to your reply thank you

[@tusharanand4059]

Pure Gold this is. Real Practical stuff for SA Interviews

[@manjunathreddy5966]

Frankly, when I started seeing your videos, I judged based on my programmed mind, that this is not worth. But I gave a chance to defy my mind and I am now addicted to your videos, I watch atleast one video of yours, and yeah You are a nice being. Please make these videos as many as possible 🙇.

[@nareshnagpal7308]

I work in Microsoft Azure mainly. But your videos are you informative and cloud agnostic they can be applied in any cloud solution architecture interviews. Thanks a lot. Really useful content.

[@mav3r1ckk]

Wow! You are explaining everything with such clarity. Thank you and Keep it up!

[@udayansaha08]

Hi Raj, another wonderful session. Thanks! In this video you mentioned that we can manage lambda provision concurrency using auto-scaling. But I don't how to do that using AWS Auto Scaling. I would like to request you to kindly create a separate video on this topic.

[@rodoherty1]

Great video! Please keep these "interview question" videos coming! Thanks, Raj!

[@cloudwithraj]

You got it!

[@mav3r1ckk]

Can you also make a video on when to use API Gateway over Route 53 for ECS Fargate and EKS?

[@glennadams7047]

Always great content from Raj, my fave AWS teacher !

Great video. Use a diffuser on your spot light to get rid of the reflection on the whiteboard.

[@cloudwithraj]

Thanks for the tip Zeeshan, will implement this!

[@pramodbasu7732]

These r some real-world questions pls make more videos on Interview questions. its really helpful

[@cloudwithraj]

Ty Pramod, more coming down the line

[@khalidsyed3201]

Awesome Raj! Really helpful with real world examples. Thank you!🙏

[@yuvarajjilla6940]

Very informative . Initially I thought this video is around 30 mins and it will be boring but it is not. It is very interesting. Thanks for the video !!!

[@cloudwithraj]

Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *🎯 AWS Lambda Overview* - AWS Lambda is a compute service that eliminates the need for server provisioning. - Features of AWS Lambda: no servers to manage, automatic scaling, high availability, pay-as-you-go. - Use cases of AWS Lambda in various scenarios like API, Alexa, and batch jobs. 01:22 *🚀 Other AWS Serverless Services* - Criteria for AWS serverless services: no servers to manage, auto-scaling, high availability, pay-as-you-go. - Examples of AWS serverless services: API Gateway, SQS, SNS, S3, DynamoDB. 03:10 *🛠 Handling Lambda Cold Starts* - Understanding cold start in Lambda and how containers spin up to load code. - Mitigating cold starts with provisioned concurrency, optimizing code, and leveraging Lambda behaviors. - Strategies like scheduling provision concurrency and optimizing code to reduce cold start times. 08:37 *💡 Using Custom Container Image with Lambda* - Ability to use custom container images with AWS Lambda. - Reusing Lambda advantages with custom container images, but requires slight adjustments for integration. - Benefits of integrating custom container images with Lambda for better service integration and efficient resource usage. 10:16 *📊 Scaling Mechanism: Lambda vs. Fargate* - Lambda scales by spinning up a new instance for each traffic connection. - Fargate operates by handling multiple traffic connections within a container pod. - Contrasting the scaling approach of Lambda (instance-per-connection) with Fargate (multi-connection support and scaling criteria setup). 12:39 *🔄 Lambda vs. Fargate Configurations* - Lambda has a maximum runtime of 15 minutes, while Fargate has no time limit. - Lambda memory limit is 10 GB with 6 CPU cores, unlike Fargate's configurable CPU and memory. - Reusing container images in Fargate is seamless, while adjustments are needed for Lambda integration. 13:35 *🤝 Lambda vs. Fargate Integrations* - Lambda seamlessly integrates with various AWS services like S3, EventBridge, SQS, etc. - Container-based services like Fargate may require additional integration layers for certain service connections. 14:31 *🧠 Configuring Lambda CPU Allocation* - Only memory configuration is possible for Lambda, which indirectly influences CPU allocation. - Increasing memory results in higher CPU core allocation for CPU-dependent workloads. - Monitoring CPU cores can be done through a simple code snippet. 14:56 *🔐 Lambda Function Security* - Lambda function security involves defining who can invoke the function and which AWS services it interacts with. - Utilize Lambda resource policies to control invocation sources and permissions. - Employ dynamic scanning tools for ongoing vulnerability assessment and remediation. 18:00 *🔄 EventBridge vs. SQS for Event Driven Architecture* - EventBridge offers rule-based target invocation, message transformation, archiving, and replay features that SQS lacks. - EventBridge allows direct invocation based on message content, unlike SQS which requires a common handling lambda. - EventBridge provides message archival and selective replay capabilities, enhancing fault tolerance and testing efficiency. 23:21 *🚀 Migrating APIs between Platforms* - APIs can be migrated between different platforms like API Gateway, Apigee, MuleSoft using OpenAPI version 3. - Export APIs as Swagger files for easy migration and import into different platforms. - Use Swagger files along with API Gateway extensions for seamless migration within AWS accounts. 25:41 *🛡️ Integrating API Gateway with EKS and ECS* - API Gateway can be used with EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) by routing traffic through Ingress to Kubernetes pods. - For ECS (Elastic Container Service), CloudMap facilitates direct integration with API Gateway for task discovery. 28:14 *✨ Addressing Serverless Challenges* - When asked about serverless challenges, focus on cost and performance optimization as common issues. - Utilize CloudWatch and CloudWatch Insights to monitor lambda memory allocation and optimize performance. - Tools like Lambda Power Tuner and strategies to minimize cold starts can aid in overcoming serverless challenges.

That's a clear explanation, thank you for helping out!

[@cloudwithraj]

Glad it was helpful maneesha!

[@sam3826]

great session. can we have videos on Kubernetes & Network routing

[@lithinasmr3476]

Awesome job.

[@digitaldiary8596]

Thanks a ton for this QAs

[@magnusschroeder9806]

Thanks Raj for this good content!

[@omishagupta1428]

Really informative videos, just one correction though. EKS is not directly integratable with API gateway, it needs to via NLB and not ALB.

[@cloudwithraj]

Hey Omisha, you can integrate EKS with ALB directly as well, either using service as LoadBalancer or using Ingress

[@TheRed662]

Thanks for the video. Do you have any material around Event bridge integration with eks fargate and/or Lambda integration with eks fargate?

[@vishhal3992]

Raj, would you please cover on premise to cloud migration interview questions specially challenges in application assessment & migration solution..

[@JD23-t9u]

Hi Raj, you mentioned lambdas spin up per connection, so does that mean if I have a subnet mask of 22(1024 ip range) then that means I can only have 1024 people visit my website at one time?

[@kareemyk119]

Thanks Raj for the content but I want to ask that for this type of questions, do you use STAR format to answer them

[@cloudwithraj]

For technical questions you do not need STAR format

Hello Raj, I have an interview for an internship in AWS as a Solutions Architect. Can I study this video along with your other video to prepare for the interview? Or do you have a different video for that?

[@cloudwithraj]

You can study my videos! Best of luck, let me know how it goes!

[@chapoaveli714]

@@cloudwithraj I did well on the technical questions. On the behavioral questions I feel like I did well, but they didn't allow me to move foward. I'm guessing I did bad on the behavioral questions so, I will study that for future interviews. Thanks for you videos.
