I don't know why this channel has only 22+ K subscribers. This channel is one of the best in its class and Very crystal and clear explanation of each and every concepts, even for a single abbreviation as well. Rahul is a true AWS Community Builder. Kudos Rahul for all your efforts and covering/explaining some of the most useful and critical services of AWS.

[ShaikshaVali-wbko]

Super explanation sir..doing great work..

[cyper]

Thanks for your sharing, it's concise and to the point. One thing about this one, per my understanding, the default security group associated with ALB could be removed becoz we have created our own one.

[bhardwaj_abhi]

Nice Explanation . You have mentioned terraform, helm chart etc at the end of video .. can you tell me where they are used in software development and what is advantage of learning them

[niroshthota]

Thanks again in detail, one Question, Can You please share if you written steps for all whenever we get time we can look into that so that it will make easy for us and not to forget

[dnyaneshwarmuley]

Thank you Rahul, it would be great if you could also share the purpose behind creating vpc, internet gateway, subnet etc

[trishul_bawankar]

Every chapter has been made so easy to understand! :)

[Shrikanth]

Thanks for the video. I am still starting with AWS, i had this question - it seemed like ALB implicitly took care of routing traffic from users to the target groups. Was there a need to explicitly define route tables and attach it to igw ? Wouldn't the setup have worked even without the route table ?

[AmarinderSandhu-srij]

Thank you for the awesome explanation. I really appreciate your work.

[cloudwithjd]
