You have no idea how much time you saved me by providing this video. I was stuck in a tutorial from my school and this explained it clearly and concisely. Thank you!!!

Something I learned back in the IT days that helps to speed up copying file names, is hold hold shift, right-click and select 'copy as path'. Then you can paste the entire path with the file name all in one step.

My Brother, you can't imagine how i was struggling with this to just start the ec2 via ssh, the error which i was getting was with port:22, The moment you 've said about vpc/igw, there i figured out, igw(internet gateway), thank again.

Thank you so much for this. I was missing the Internet Gateway on a default EC2 Instance configuration. I spent 2 days on this thank you man. I was not thinking about my IG at all

Thanks, my man! You sorted out something I was finding really insoluble. Its the part in the video where you talk about how the VPC should have an Internet Gateway attached with a status of "Active". I was getting timeout errors and could'nt understand what was going on because my security group had port 22 open. So on watching your video, I checked the Route Table and found the Internet Gateway in the VPC Route Table had a status of "Blackhole". The Internet gateway itself had a State of detached. I must have detached it when cleaning up resources. Anyways, after reattaching, the IG became active and I could SSH into the EC2 instance. Cheers! I would have had a hard time finding this on my own. I've subscribed and am looking forward to your next videos.

I'm getting a warning: unprotected private file! when I try to ssh into my ec2.

[ramyarajendran]

Sir after create instance public ipv4 address showing blank

[danishwais]

The cmd shows "WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!". What should I do in this case?

[germainkone]

Nice job. The private ip address is unique ? Safe to share ? I have homework but I am wondering if is safe to send homework that contains my private ip address

[michaelajiri]

Hello, thanks for this video tutorial. Its helpful. But you didn't show how you created the route tables and internet gateways?
