I like your aws videos. Please keep them coming

Ec2 instance has a public and private ip address.. we can use public ip address to connect to ec2 instance from our computer. .. ec2 and mysql are in the vpc that is private network.. so ec2 can access MySQL db

what's the tool you have for the copy and select which one you paste from the ternimal

[seanhuggins]

Sam, these videos are so helpful and your explanations are really clear. "Practical cloud computing". Keep them coming!

A couple tutorial requests:
Lambda triggers (ex. resizing images for thumbnails when uploaded to an s3 bucket)
Setting up dev/staging/production environments with AWS

Thank you and I'm looking forward to what's next!

Hi Sam, do you know why im being charged for the usage of IPv4 addresses? Is not part of the free tier? Is this cost:
$0.005 per In-use public IPv4 address per hour

Great video Sam, love the AWS content. Idea: let's hook up a node server with crud functions. Then a React frontend, all hosted on AWS with Cloudfront distribution, would make a great series.

Sam when u r making S3 and the cloudfront CDN video 🤔

[carlosdelgado]

Hi Sam nice aws series so far, quick question what's the name of the app you used to copy/paste the db host and password??

That’s a lot of money per month to run MySQL.

Please make a video on mern stack and secure video on demand like prime video or netflix. 😀

[richardlawes]

That's great until free runs out and the costs go up. I was looking for a cloud alternative to 'mysql on Raspberry Pi' but they're all to pricey, certainly for hobbyist, diy-er needs.

[tenminutetokyo]

That’s nothing. Try writing a file system.

I can tell he never work as a aws engineer on database in real life, he just reading the concept descriptions from the aws page. not going to helpful in real work or technical interview.
