I started in IT way back in 1970, but wanted to catch up on AWS. It's not often you see such a good introduction to a technology. Well done.
Good talk. I'm a long time (≈ 3 years) user of AWS.
I agree with you on the idea, just a couple of remarks:
1 - You just write scripts that are run through Lambda. These scripts do not have any Lambda specific syntax. You can basically copy them and run them wherever you want.
2 - Cassandra is an Apache open-source technology. Again, nothing AWS specific. DynamoDB though is their interesting, highly scale-able, proprietary database.
Aside from this, scale-able AWS techs are always best financially considered as linear. If 1 user costs $0.01, a thousand cost $10.
Running, say a storage service, on your own VPS or even through EC2 makes things leveled. More or less, cheaper 50% of the time, more expensive the other 50% of the time.
Add maintenance, may that be software or hardware, and you'll lose some of the gains you have in a self managed environments.
When you are really getting locked up in AWS is whenever you start interacting with all their services. For example, playing with their software defined networking programmatically in order to auto scale.

Watch this on 1.25 Speed, much better.
+SooperBeez Much better!
+SooperBeez I started at 1.25 then moved to 1.5....
+SooperBeez how about 2 ?
+SooperBeez Surprinsingly by doing this(x1.5) I found him less obnoxious than usual o_O
Thanks, probably shave off a few minutes overall. Hah
After watching endless overly technical videos (as you explained at the start of the video), this finally laid things out easily for a relative novice like me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The best 2 questions are : (1) What does it do ? (2) How does it work ? ... this video does an excellent job on answering both.
I love Eli, I used to watch his video when I joint IT industry couple of years ago, it feel good to see him lecture to new technologies
I'm glad you say that it's not easy. Does my head in when anything in IT is described as 'easy' or 'simple' when it almost never is.
Eli, I am not a gay man. I love you Eli! Dude. I watched so many other videos....I am not anti-Indian. It's just that the accent alone is disengaging. You relay and TEACH magnificently. You know you do. You are void of ego. You have single handedly given many people careers to support their families. For this, I...."we" thank you. Sincerely.
If any AWS folk have lab access and are near Little Elm TX, please reply to this post. Thanks!
I was skeptical at first that an unshaven guy in an orange shirt named "Eli the computer guy" was going to be equivalent of the guy around the corner with the "PC Repair" yard sign in front of his house. I was pleasantly surprised. Good overview of AWS and general cloud principles. Enjoyed the presentation and humor. I did watch on 1.25x speed for expediency.
That was THE AWESOME introduction to AWS. Thank you so much!
OMG, we deployed and tested SMS Server hosted @ AWS but at that time, had no idea that AWS was as big, and capable to host a lot more services. True its a real Iaas This has been very helpful
AWS is super-expensive, and people often fail to recognize what the purpose of AWS is.
eg, it is not "a web host", if you use it like a conventional web host (eg a wordpress site,) it will cost several hundred dollars per month, or per day, mostly on the bandwidth end or from over-provisioning. Buying your own server and dropping it in a 42U rack somewhere is cheaper than using AWS for web hosting, and if anyone recommends using AWS for running "a website", is literately setting money on fire for no reason.
AWS is also not a "file server/FTP/remote-NAS", again for the same reason above.
I've seen people spend thousands of dollars for AWS services that could have been handled by a single VPS that costs less than 100$/mo. This is because they do not understand their "off the shelf" software needs. A "Wordpress" site running all the popular plugins, but no caching (because they want the changes to the site to be instant) you're going to need 60 times the CPU resources. So instead of maybe installing the correct content caching and php opcode cache and bringing the performance up, they instead buy 60 instances of the web front end. This is something you can pay someone 100$/hr to setup correctly the first time.
Hi
So, what's your recommendation for designing web and hosting? Wix?
Hey Eli, this was a really damn good introduction to AWS. Sometimes I dig ya for being too long winded, but you didn't repeat yourself much here and you touched on everything important. Much appreciated. This single video gave me everything I needed to begin researching 5 of their services I specifically needed, one of which, I didn't KNOW I needed.
You know, your presentation of the video is so good that I’m watching the sponsors.
@ 19:47 dude....lol....you're hilarious. You won't get tutorials as entertaining anywhere. Keep being you Eli.
wow, that was an awesome intro....now I know exactly what they do...loved the way u said how sys admin used to be and what they need to have in todays world...u motivated me to learn AWS, as I am aged and kinda old school sys admin :) thank you...Eli
I totally love and enjoyed every second of this video. If you did trainings I would learn much better with the way and pace at which you explain these concepts. I love the "animation". You totally arrested my attention.
"Hipster at TechCrunch". Hilarious and true!
Why do you not have more views and subscribers?! You're teaching for free! Come on people!!!
I'm glad you pointed out the idea that when you build infrastructure for your company your going to have to pay a guy 100k + a year plus all the equipment and still hope it's reliable when you can just hope on the AWS band wagon.
holy crap, time to fulfill a need. setting up cloud services in Africa and Middleast. get that money just laying on the table.
TikiShootah there's a huge market in telecoms and banking data.
Totally agree.
You always simplify the complex environment with the way you explain. Thanks.
Dear Eli, Sponsors surely gets clicks. :-)
From Windows Server 2012 to AWS! Eli, I'm ready!
It is 2021 rn, about 5 years and true cloud is the future, again if you expect growth
I really like your basic business logic for IT guys in the case of a start up
Just preparing for my exam in Cloud Computing AWS as part of Cyber Security. Your presentations style is way more engaging than most. As you're mostly just talking would be good as a blog for audio only. Save data usage :-)
great job explaining, Eli! I'm considering learning this line of work in the next coming years and cannot appreciate you enough for clearly explaining what AWS is capable of!
still relevant 4 years later.
41:30 : "migrating to AWS.. how it goes..It can either be very difficult or it can be be very hard" :)) . Great introduction BTW
another advantage of amazon is it's easy to expand across the US, from NY to LA. also from US to Europe. I've used softlayer I thought it was pretty good.
Your videos make my day. I don't care how old they are, but Eli, in my opinion you're the man haha. I take every bit of your advice and try to make sure I work on everything.
You give great introductions, and sometimes I watch things a couple times just so I didn't miss anything.
This is an older video, bur at this point August 2017, should someone in the industry be more concerned witness AWS, Docker, Azure, or once you get one the rest are seriously,pretty intuitive?
Even if I don't get an answer, your videos are great.
Very nice input into AWS. every time I watch your video I leave learning a ton of new information.
Your old man voice is on point!
Awesome video to explain AWS and other things briefly with examples and cost factor into account.
Your early videos were so succinct and so to the point without leaving anything out at the same time. It looked very well prepared. Nowadays you seem to just turn on the camera and start talking.
I hope you do more of these in the future. I've been thinking about doing an AWS cert so timing is perfect :-)
Have you succesfully done a cert?
I'm an actual current AWS Solutions Architect & I'm surprised at Eli's foresight.
Thanks a lot Eli ! Great intro on AWS!
You should do a similar one on Azure!
Eli if I only listened to you... 10 years later and I am sweating
best teacher ever! amazingly useful easy to understand content!
I think Dropbox's story of going back to dedicated hardware from S3 is a good story at that size of a startup.
Its really good information who just want to connect the dots in terms of cloud solution.
I'm late but thanks for the video. I've been preparing to take AWS Solutions Architect certification for oh say the past year! lol I'm going to get around to taking the test one of these days but I tinker with my free AWS platforms often to keep myself familiar.
Hey plixer is right in town, Kennebunk ME. Cool to see a local company mentioned.
ELi you are amazing in all your tutorials... you align me so well with your articles
I'm not sure that Eli is correct about AWS being strictly IaaS. While AWS EC2 is an example of IaaS. With EC2, the users must manage the OS, middleware, runtime, data, and application; while AWS handles the virtualization, networking, etc. On a totally different hand, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an example of PaaS. With Elastic Beanstalk, you simply deploy your code and AWS handles the rest. You no longer have to worry about the OS, middleware, and runtime that EC2 requires. See the difference?
Good composition and Perfect articulation
I have been taking notes throughout this whole video thank you so much for the knowledge you gave me
really great introduction. very helpful. thanks.
Thanks man for the video, it's very very useful .. I have no clue why people are trying to be funny in the comments, NOT!!
The catch you of any Cloud is that your apps on there has to be stateless( e.g. no local file IO, no stateful variables ) and resilient in order to survive and benefit from the Cloud. Many legacy apps are not like that at all.
Thank you for a great video - very concise and entertaining and it definitely gave me a more thorough understanding of AWS. Thank you once again, Eli.
So close to a million
if someone put a backhoe on the T1 line for AMAZON data center, there would be a redundancy, it would not fail. Data Centers such as AWS have multiple peers connected to different ISP, this is one of the reasons why we put our stuff to Data Center.
the only thing I can think of is, if your local business went offline, and didn't have an IP SLA or BGP then maybe that would be a problem.
Hey Eli, sorry if I missed you mentioning it but you can get a One Year trial access to pretty much entire catalog of services for free with AWS. And considering that Netflix has moved their entire content distribution to Amazon that must be something good about it, haha
Eli, your videos are awesome. I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
I like this guy. smart 👍
Who else loves Eli and is grateful to him?
i really love Eli. He is so generous. He is Angel
23:47...we make a BANG! Love the way you said it 😊
you are one hell of a salesman
What are your views on security/privacy with "the cloud"? Here in Europe we have a lot of resentment about possible and/or legalised privacy breaches by the US government.
I wonder why there's not a GDC in South Africa. I think it'd make sense to put one there.
You are a hybrid of Randy Orton and Keanu Reeves.
orton is snek
The oracle speaks.
Thank you so much for great explanation about AWS....
I was looking for a vid that gave me a good low-down on AWS - much appreciated!
good intro, simple and easy
"As far as migrating to AWS, uhhh... how it goes... it could either be very difficult or it could be very hard" *poker face*
lol
There is AWS technology in Africa especially in Places like Nigeria and South Africa.
Eli, you're just AWESOME! thank you for posting this.
Awesome explanation of scalability :)
Thanks a bunch for these insights and information. I appreciate your knowledge! You mentioned you wouldn't exactly start with earning an AWS certification. I'm wondering where you would begin if you were to pursue a certification as a recent MIS graduate interested in a career in IT/IS. The Cloud is here to stay!
Thanks in advance, Eli!
Very good tutorial thanks!
AWS can integrate other DNS names from third party providers and even servers apparently.
You are so awesome buddy I like the way you present it is so interesting keep it up please.
Thoroughly explained. Thank you!
thanks for your introduction.
Eli, this video was incredibly helpful and informative! I am now a life long subscriber to your videos. Thank you! :D
Love the videos and advice! Programming is such a wide field but i'm starting with VB and C++ :)
I have to work with AWS and DevOps next semester for a senior design project. I guess where I'm lost is the whole Lambda thing. I thought that was a library update for Java 8.
Eli youre the man. These videos are really helpful
Excellent Overview Eli! Nice work!!
You are funny in this video. Very good.
Nice introduction tutorial. Cheers.
Good Introduction
Eli, you are a good man buddy, i don't care what they say about you, because you are all right with me :)
Ok so if AWS provides all the function on behalf of its users', can we consider AWS as a single point of failure?
Based on my understanding, if one access point goes down, you'll automatically be transferred to the nearest access point (clustering) within the server so you wouldn't have issues with utilizing ther service.
Nice video Eli.
Speaking of certifications...What would be the CORE certifications that would be advised to aquire for a System Admin career (windows mainly).
I'm expecting to be advised the usual MS certifcations etc. But I am still keen to hear what everyone has to add.
Very helpful, thanks Eli. Please make a video on NFV as well ...😑👏🏾
Eli, great class!
Awesome Video Love Watching Your Channel Post
More videos👏👋👍👌🙌👏👋👍✌👌
You are my IT guru...:)
SO IS IT GOOD OR BAD?
*Yes, it is* !
It's logic dude, depends on the business and your budget, if you compared to Google Cloud or Azure, AWS has more documentation and tutorials
Thank you for this explanation.
Love your videos! Very helpful. Any chance you can do a similar video to this one but for Google Cloud Platform? Seems like superior technology but with less awareness.
Thanks a lot for this video. Clear explanation. Tx again
Good presentation, at 2X.
Thanks so much for your very informative video. Helped with my understanding of Cloud service provider, AWS. Quick question; What is the most highly demanded skill in IT?
React.JS , Angular.JS

I'm waiting for next video
Loved this. Thank you for sharing.
