Thanks Ashish for your consistency every week! Really love hearing ur stories about the technologies

[@allday4037]

Could you possibly make a video of a scenario using IAM roles for authentication to an RDS instance? I'm curious about how to manage not only role permissions but also defining a scope (set of tables) that a role would have access to.

[@joekadendi1551]

Hi, great video, I was able to follow your tips, kindly create the secrets manager video too, thanks!

[@CloudSecurityPodcast]

Thank you for commenting. This has been added as a future video item

[@cheukkwanchan2995]

Thanks for sharing! nice video!

[@CloudSecurityPodcast]

Ashish was a bit excited about making this video so he might be too fast for some people watching. He says he will try and not be as excited for the next video.

[@marcinpromil2862]

Thanks Ashish, I think much easier to create a DB using CLI than using console, as Andrew brown showed us in week 4 !

[@Storytelless]

Thank you for a great video. I have trouble connecting my database like you did. Can it be because when it was created I set it connected with EC2? Because when i connect EC2 through SSH everything works fine but the connection to the db from my laptop without connecting EC2 is always time out

[@ganeshpondy1]

Thanks for the Content. Have a query. Can we use GitGuardian to scan our repo to check if any password was wrongly exposed? Or do you recommend any better options

[@CloudSecurityPodcast]

GitGuardian, Trufflesec there are many other versions. Github itself has this available for Enterprise customers. It is a good practice for sure.

[@bhargavbanda3953]

Awesome very informative video. Can you please make video related to ssl certificate encryption for Amazon RDS(postgresql).

[@PawanGupta-yx5pi]

Hi Good Video! Can you suggest how can we schedule a job in rds postgres?

[@Ebikae1]

please do make the video of secret manager

[@drajk3501]

I normally watch live feed (recorded) in 1.25x :) but had to watch Ashish on 1.0.
