i found your channel today, and i love how you teach, thanks for these contents!

[@pixegami]

I'm glad to hear that, thank you!

[@sampadk04]

Amazing content 🤝 Very easy to follow

[@manassengudia1854]

Great Introduction. I would like to see more videos about DynamoDB and Sigle Table Design.

[@pixegami]

Noted, thanks for the feedback :)

[@nadirhussainar]

I am a senior mobile engineer coding in react native. I am now inclined towards cloud and AI. What roadmap would you recommend to transition.

[@pixegami]

I think learning how to build basic services in the cloud (e.g. AWS, Azure, Firebase) is a good place to start for the first 6 months or so. You wanna know how to build services like a clone of Twitter, Instagram, Discord, etc. Then for AI - well it depends if you wanna be more of a science role (e.g. train and create models). But I think most people will want to learn how to apply AI. It's all new so there's no good roadmap for it yet, but I would guess just build apps that use a lot of AI, learn how to use the APIs for AI, and learn about popular applications (like RAG, Langchain, and how to evaluate models).

[@nadirhussainar]

thanks for your coherent response. Yes as far as AI is concerned, I am more interested in its usage to enhance productivity.

[@starriet]

Smart guy, smart video :)

[@pixegami]

Thank you!

[@prajganesh]

Great foundation. Keep adding more advanced content around Lambda and CDK.

[@pixegami]

Thank you! Will do!

[@susheelkumarvashulal8951]

Very informative video! Could you make more AWS centric videos covering real-world use cases and example applications?

[@pixegami]

Great idea... Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@haakonharnes]

Great video! Could you do a video on automatically deploying to AWS using GitHub actions? I want to build an API using FastAPI + Mangum + Docker and deploy to AWS Lambda using GitHub actions, but it seems complex.

[@pixegami]

Thank you! Yes I actually have a video on GitHub actions for AWS too! Check it out here: How To Use GitHub Actions • Automate Your AWS Deployments kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6awlIFsa9KZrac

[@pphodaie]

Really enjoyed your AWS videos. Can you cover the new Bedrock services in a future video?

[@pixegami]

Thanks! Yeah, it's a great - I'll look into it next :)

[@JC-hv8he]

Found your channel its amazing. I am learning my aws and the bedrock. I wanna ask instead of using ec2, can I use lightsail for cheaper cost to

[@pixegami]

Thank you, and welcome! I think Lightsail uses things like EC2 under the hood, so yes you should be able to use them too. But I think EC2 has a free tier as well (with the micro instance). If you really wanna have cost-effective compute, I recommend looking at Lambda (but it depends what you're trying to build --- Lambda will work well with event-driven services, or API services).

[@bgd_surf]

Great intro for beggingers, keep rocking bro

[@pixegami]

Thank you!

[@zainsyed9811]

Awesome inteoduction thanks so much. One question when i try creating an additonal user it takes me to the IAM identity center instead though and creates it there rather than in IAM section. Do you know why that is?

[@pixegami]

Thanks! Hmm, not quite sure - I think there could be different interfaces for creating the user. But it should still be fine no matter where you create it from.

[@PravinaBariya-h5y]

Hello I would like to ask that, in the privategpt can I add link to html ? or do I have to give html files in the source documents?

[@kunalpradhan8735]

Hi can I get a way to connect with you had some queries to talk.
