I just literally wasted my time for going to other resources to refreshed my knowledge. I came back to your channel to refresh my AWS. Literally you are the one who is teaching clearly with sample hands on experience. I want you to use ChatGBT and make 10 or 20 real work senerios with your way to explain to us. I am the first one who will be finishing all. I am prepering myself to Devops path. Cloud is the key. Thanks!

First of all thank you for reply and detailed answer. Yes I was using built in software same as in video, I am new in AWS so I am following your lectures step by step. I will post if I find solution. Also I hope there are other ways and other Linux images to which we can connect.

thanks for this straight to the point tutorial, plus your voice is perfectly clear 😊
Can I transfer files and folders directly from that web-browser connection shown in this video ? or do I need to make an SFTP connection and use FileZilla or similar ?

[bezikmor]

Thank you, very clear, and very concise. 🙏🌹

[devincatuns]

5:03 if you disconnect from ssh when connecting via rdp it should work.

[joseluisfernandez]

I was struggling with AWS Ubuntu, the GUI and the VNC server (slow, sometimes the terminal icon do not appear or not open, issues with display, configure the vnc file....). Did not know this option exists. Thank you so much!

[MrOptimusPrime.]

Hello mam great video. After a very tiring search for gui based linux environment perfectly ended here. Can we perform works like ruby, wget installation and all works here? I hate cli environment and wanted to learn everything throughh gui only. is that possible?

[arunleo]
