Man you are awesome! I’m an IT support engineer and I really want to get a cloud support role as my next phase. Learning terraform right now and this video came out just in time. I’m going to take a poke at these projects and attempt to deploy and manage these resources on terraform.

I have around 20 + coursera certifications IBM and AWS Badges for devops.

Most of them were theory based and i did them so i have good understanding of things and also i can showcase on my CV now i am about to jump into projects ( as i had already decided ) and this video came on my feed ❤

What a perfect timing

Thank you for the video. where should i get information to do project 5, 6, 7 .... where do we learn how to configure this and CI/CD projects
? do you have a master class we can have access to ?

These are time stamps for the projects:

1. Deploying a WordPress website into EC2 instance (3:10).

2. Migrate files from one S3 bucket to another S3 bucket using CLI (3:57).

3. Backing up and restoring files by creating an EC2 instance, then SSH into it by creating a file and write into it; then create an image of that EC2 instance and then SSH into the second EC2 instance to see contents of the backed up file (4:27).

4. (5:27)

5. 7:08

6. 8:39

7. 10:28
8. 12:24

Absolutely informative video for someone like me who is a beginner trying to build portfolio projects to showcase. Thank you so much!🙂

[linderpak]

Great content! I am a newbie trying to break into this crazy cloud environment and I am often discouraged by the volatile employment (it's either going really well or it's super tough to get a tech job). As a non-tech person trying to break into tech, videos like this give me some hope!
My question with these projects is, obviously it costs money to do these projects. How do I showcase a portfolio using these resources? Do I stop EC2 instances indefinitely until an employer asks to see my projects or do I document using screencaps on how I approach these projects? Keeping these projects "alive" is going to cost some money.

[Cruzan]

These all sound good. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm super green but it's good to have some ideas. I'm going to scour the internet to look for projects based on the role I wish to get once I am certified. That coupled with other projects will show versatility and I think that would be a good advantage.

[ahamed]

This is what i am looking for a long time

[GabrielVaraljay]

Great material (again). I'm already on my way, I just need a little time and I'll complete all of these. Thank you.

[dylansaada]

Man, I don't usually comment on a video, but just wanted to say you are pure gold ! Thanks a lot for these project ideas

[circulartext]

wow thanks for this i might create a project from scratch

[theUltTaskmaster]

I dont know how but i was thinking I about upgrading my AWS Cloud skills with some projects. I wake up today and voila, you're here.

This is ks definitely the call to action that I need to start on this journey.

Your project recommendations are the first I will take.

[DiscoverWithVipin]

[bwanahaguziki]

How to you show documentation for employers.

[lynxtouch]

How would you recommend showing your projects after you've made them

[sthembiso]

These are really good projects. I’m excited to start working on these. I hope to return to this comment with my progress

[lancasterchrisekwueme]

Can the lambda code be written in golang..or is it exclusive to python?

[abhisheksagar]

hello thank you for your guide. Can you please confirm if any of this project can be done in free Tier version of AWS. Like without using money to buy additional service?
Thank you
