Watched like 100 videos on VPC could not understand a thing, just one video from you it's all into my head now fitted perfectly thank you very much

[@habeshashare8295]

Totally!!❤❤

[@Jaemon4Eva]

two years later you still come through for me.

[@imoumita-careertechnologyl2213]

This excellent tutorial deserves more views... really liked the way he presented such a complex use case in a simple manner

[@albertndege5596]

3 years later and this video is 10 out of 10, best aws tutorials I've seen!! Thanks 🔥

I bought a udemy course to learn how to deploy my django app on AWS, like 7 hours in length. After the tutorial, the only thing I know is we use: NginX, S3, RDS, EC2, that's it, I don't know why and how. I have no idea who these things are fit in together. I scrambled through networking concepts, AWS Training Skills Builder with a hope of finding only what I need to deploy my app. None was successful. But this tutorial is the one. The diagram righ at the beginning is very helpful as it helps visualize the big picuture. Then just-enough and easy-to-understand explanation are gold. Thanks a lot Sam.

[@mona.supremacy]

Huge thanks for uploading. It's relatively rare to find quality videos on Cloud Computing topics for free.

[@joyebot7371]

thank you. I was finally able to find something simple, well elaborated, and easy to understand. Thank you

[@hariprasad3150]

Excellent tutorial!. Explained a lot of things without any lag. Also explaining things from its actual use in production. Thank you.

[@michaelmcmasters4123]

Wow this is top quality. Thanks so much for an easy to follow guide. I took a lot of notes.

[@sanjaybharatiya5074]

Very good explanation. Taking through a real worl example really helped me to understand the different AWS services in a much better way. Thank you so much!!

He is the AWS God who saves people like us from AWS Complications

[@a_maxed_out_handle_of_30_chars]

everything is clear and makes sense now, thank you :)

[@vincentwong48]

This video helped me out a lot. I am taking an AWS course in school but I have no idea what any of the services were used for and what they did. You did a great job explaining what each thing does and why it's important!

[@soniag7514]

best aws tutorials I've seen!! Thanks

[@aravindhanharish7689]

Thanks bud!! It was a great video. Understood a lot of things. Kudos.

[@vanchark]

I don't have much experience with AWS but I'm taking a networks class and this video really helped me tie together a lot of concepts I'm currently learning about like IP addresses, CIDR notation, netmasks, private networks, gateways, subnets, and routing tables. Seriously, thank you so much!

[@syqer1]

lovely stuff my man! you're very good at explaining things! many thanks

[@ramasubramanyam5676]

Excellent tutorial!!! Helped me in understanding the VPC, Subnets and how to work with them. I am able to create VPC and subnets.

[@jaydoes2166]

This was a succinct yet thorough and personable guidance. Thanks man!

[@SamMeechWard]

My pleasure 🤗

[@Lex-ji9zj]

You are the most underrated channel I've ever seen. Liked and sub...

[@Pavan-kn5pg]

Love the way you explain. Keep up the good work :)

[@rosswhite-chinnery5725]

This channel is a godsend. I'm doing the AWS re/Start course at the moment which is very thorough but involves about 35 hours of class time a week. I'm finding these concise tutorials are better for revising the essentials than the course material itself which can be quite turgid and long-winded.

[@praise_o]

hey man, did you make it as an aws engineer?

[@darrinmc]

Great video. To the point and very clear. Nice work!

[@Telepriester]

I was about to write the same. Could not agree more.

[@atikhashmee2009]

wow, what a great video. I have watched a lot of videos. but this one really cleared my doubts. thanks

Great content!!!!

[@afuyewale5648]

nice one !

[@mirowahedali3962]

Excellent...

[@moedweik9523]

Excellent Educational Video! I watched this video twice and I got so much information about AWS networking and IP assignment in very simple explained method. The instructor is awesome! I have a couple of questions: 1) When do you normally assign an ELASTIC IP to the web server machine in public subnet instead of auto assign? 2) We always need to SSH from local laptop to AWS machines in Private Subnets for administration, monitoring, etc. Would you set up a public Bastion server (like a jump server) for that or use machine in public subnet for that or setup NAT on the private machine so it can connect to internet. I think the NAT option though will only allow that private machine to connect to internet and not vice versa.

[@prabhneetsingh13]

Thanks for solving out the problem, I was stuck with it since couple hours and wasn't able to understand why I wasn't able to connect to the EC2 instance

[@fazilmc2914]

thanks broh.... ❣

[@user-rd4nc4pl8i]

I like your video stytel，thank you tell me know more knowledge.

[@mohamedyoussef8835]

Awesome tutorial ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thank you

[@MrTechhack]

You are so good at explaining things !! Do you have a course which i can buy ?

[@evensen007]

Great video(s)! Can we get the video of you shrunk down a bit for more work-screen real estate in future videos?

[@ravshanbekahmedov985]

thank you for video, my question is: How can i connect to private instance for install node for example?

[@frontend_ko]

thanks~

[@SamMeechWard]

You're welcome

[@gergelytoth8082]

Great Video. thank you. If I plan to add the public ALB to my public subnet, I also required to add an IGW?

[@chriscorte5533]

Great video! I know this is a little off topic but what's that catchy music in your VPC explanation? I have a playlist that I listen to when I write code or study and I want to add it...

[@imkumawat]

Hi dude, Can you please make video on that How to create code pipeline code build and code deploy. Creating a nodejs app and writing docker image, buildspec.yml and running it into the aws. I am thankful for your rest of videos in cloud computing.

[@khanriza]

Make a Cloudformation video of this workflow?!

[@Troglodyte2021]

How did you upload your code into private ec instance? 😊

[@bailey9203]

Question - Why does the subnet range need to be /24? I dont understand. If VPC is /16 why can we also not use /16 for the subnet range?

[@acciolurker]

You can now click "VPC and more" when creating a VPC which will do all of these steps for you in one go :)

[@udaym4204]

ip adress assign by subnet to ec2 instance then why vpc cidr .thank you

[@in-simple-words]

Do you need another route table for your private subnet? You didn't show your private subnet's route table association. All my subnets by default have the route table that has the internet gateway attached to it. Does that mean my private subnets will have internet access as well?

[@BlopsssSssss]

What is the intro music called?

[@WarpedEdge]

Little bit confused in regard to the end of the video curling into the private ip:8080. I keep getting connection refused well beyond it being setup. The only difference I could see was that you created your second instance through an AMI you already had built. I tried to look through all your videos but could not see any that show how you got that to setup. Is there something I am missing? EDIT: I believe I didn't look hard enough, the intro to Packer is the answer

[@SamMeechWard]

Yes. And if you're ever setting up an instance on a private subnet, you really need to have the AMI fully setup running your web app, otherwise nothing will happen if you try to curl that instance's ip address.

[@karthikks9976]

Why he didn't provide AZ for the private subnet, while creating it ?

[@martinoveer9483]

As this is explanation for "beginners", yuou could maybe talk 3 time faster... also move screens even faster. Sure everyone will catch evertything... or not? "_

[@henrydibia798]

You are too fast, can follow up, please Low down. Thx

[@mathanalysiss]

Thanks for the video, but dude please your clownish nails are really distracting.

[@jimmyk1998]

Hey , how can i contact you private?? I need some help with aws . I will pay you

[@SamMeechWard]

You can't, but you can ask questions here and I'll do my best to answer
