You deserve a raise. I have been googling what is wrong with my VPC/SG/route tables and totally missed option of using wizzard. Well i recreated network and everything is working as it should. 2 days of debugging, for just use of 5min wizzard. Thx.

[@badlittleking]

Thank you for this deep dive! Extremely clear and well communicated

[@yurisousan]

Great explanation! User Interface was improved in VPC and it looks pretty cool wow. Thank you for this content.

[@alexia84b]

Super clear and concise, thank you!

[@active99raj]

Thank you for this good explanation of VPC.

[@gabisan777]

Excellent tutorial video. Great job! and thank you

Very helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@islamtoghuj]

Great explanation, thanks.

[@lashlarue7924]

best explanation anywhere. 🙏

nice! thanks for the video, please add more AWS networking videos 🙏

[@saddlebear]

Excellent and your voice/accent is easy on the ears.

thanks for posting.

[@georgebannerman]

thank you so much, you just simplified this for me

[@BeABetterDev]

Glad it helped!

[@divyanshuchaudhary17]

It was helpful, Thanks

[@53_ritamghosh63]

That was helpful.

[@saurabhgoreamazing9368]

Very helpful video.Can you please explain how do instances in public and private subnets communicate with each other?

[@datacruncher1564]

This is a brilliant video! So many things were explained in just 10 minutes. Can we do similar set-up by just using AWS CDK?

[@user-bh1om4rh9h]

Thank you!!!

[@PASTRAMIKick]

Does anyone know why he created a route table for each private subnet, rather than a 1 route table for all the private subnets and another for all the public subnets?

[@itsmitasha]

This was a great tutorial can u pls create a tutorial on creating an RDS from a private instance and accessing the RDS via a public instance (without the RDS to have public access)?

[@biniyambelaynehdemisse7604]

Nice one, bro. It would be really helpful if you can explain why some aws resources are required to be created within a VPC only (like RDS, and EC2) while others can be created outside a vpc (like dynamoDB and S3)

[@awscloudstudio]

Aws has region specific and global services(dynamo, s3, apigw, waf)

[@amitabhmishra116]

i guess, dynamo DB and S3 are serverless services, by default serverless services don't require the user to do the basic setups like creating vpc, and deciding the underneath operating system. Like in serverless services, you don't choose anything let's assure vpc.

[@mrmar-que6307]

Thanks for making this.🌟🌟🌟

[@BeABetterDev]

You're welcome 😊

[@cc22079]

I have to do this assignment for class but i have to subnet 2 and have each one connect to different ec2

[@itsmitasha]

10:05 Does intranetway communication mean communication between any subnet and instance in your VPC?

[@ruthvikchimmiri3019]

I created instance with default vpc. Can I create new vpc for already created instance?

[@GihanKavinda.]

perfect

[@mohamedyoussef8835]

Awesome video ++++++++++++ 🙂

[@afkhoso]

this helped me big time. i was having issues ssh-ing into my ec2 after following the standard procedure to create it, video after video after researching the timeout error, and doubting my eyes, seeing the inbound rules ALLOWED SSH.. it turned out the issue is that the aws account im using, the default vpc did not have any subnet, so with the help of your video i created one using the VPC and MORE option, which auto generated 2 pvt and public subnets. finally!!! im able to SSH into my own server! ah! except now im getting "permission denied". another thing i'll have to research. isnt IT fun?

[@ankitapushp3882]

is VPC endpoints chargeable ?

[@galleon8129]

Do you know this video is one of the few that has dedicated tutorial for public and private subnets?

[@orijekrivokapic68]

First!
