👉 It would help those who want to learn #real #hands-on work, instead of people trying to just get certified.

👉 It is NOT going to be aligned to a particular Certification strictly, rather it covers those topics which you require to learn to start working in Cloud with confidence.

👉 It would work for you, if you are a person who is interested to learn by making your hands dirty. It would require time investment and effort from you. Anyone who is interested in just sitting and listening, it is better to buy some recorded courses.

AWS Free Tier Benefits with AWS Organizations

Hello Friends,

In this short article, we will talk about different scenarios around Free Tier benefits when you use an AWS account with AWS Organizations. There are couple of different combinations possible:

1. In case of an independent AWS account, Free Tier benefit starts from the day of account creation. 
2. If an AWS account is created via AWS Organization, then Free Tier benefits would start from the creation day of MASTER Account (in that Organization) and not the newly created (CHILD) AWS account.
3. Third scenario is, if you create an AWS account independently and later on add it to AWS Organization. E.g. Account1 is created on 01-March-2019, there is another AWS Organization in which the Master account was created on 11-Jan-2019. 
• When Account1 joins this Organization, the Free Tier benefit would be reset as if it is applicable from 11-Jan-2019. 
• In case, Account1 leaves the Organization, the start date for Free Tier benefit would again become 01-Mar-2019 for Account1. 

In summary, while an AWS Account is part of an Organization, the Free Tier benefits would always be governed by the CREATION DATE of MASTER Account in that AWS Organization. 

I would like to thank Jagadish for pointing this out in our Organizations video as shown below.

TLS Termination for Network Load Balancers :)

There is a reason I love AWS - they continue to impress you by bringing the features which customers demand. Here is a new feature which is going to make your life lot more easier with NLB.

Going forward, you do not have to keep SSL certificate on all your instances (behind NLB), rather you can terminate TLS connection at NLB. This saves you from lot of work and regular housekeeping.

If you have not setup NLB already, here is a video to show you step by step setup, you can watch and practice.

After this, it is recommended to spend 10 minutes to understand the benefits of this new feature, read it here.

If you want to understand the differences and pricing of all the different types of Load Balancers on AWS, watch this.

AWS Transit Gateway - Setup & DEMO - announced in reInvent 2018 - Part 1

AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) is here to change things in AWS networking big time. It solves the existing problems of VPC peering limits when you try to make multiple VPCs talk to each other. Different customers were making it work with Transit VPC till now, where they were maintaining a VPC  in center and running third party software in this VPC which used to forward the traffic to other VPCs. But, managing Transit VPC was a big pain. With Transit Gateway, these maintenance activities go away. 

In this very first video, we are discussing, along with a detailed demo, about the setup of TGW and how to use it to achieve different scenarios of VPC peering. There would be further videos to discuss more complex architecture as well. 

Remember: 

1. TGW is regional service. 
2. TGW attachments will create an ENI in the subnet you have chosen.
3. TGW is fully managed service and there is a charge for using it. Pricing depends on two factors: 
• Number of attachments to TGW (per hour). Any partial hour is converted to full.
• Amount of data processed (in GB). See rates here.
4. One TGW route table can have multiple attachments associated to it. But, one attachment can use only TGW route table. 
5. Static / blackhole routes take precedence over propagated routes. 
6. VPCs peered via Transit Gateway cannot reference Security Groups of each other (currently).

Now let us see the working DEMO --

Learning AWS with KnowledgeIndia -- An IMPORTANT post

Hello friends, 

First of all, I want to thank all the viewers who have shared our videos and spread information about YouTube Channel. We just crossed 4,000 subscribers. This number is not very big compared to the appreciation which you people write in comments. 

Here are few important things for our serious learners:

1.  Blog is the best form to combine different forms of content (video, audio, text etc.) in a logical order. Going forward, you will see more activity on the blog and I would recommend everyone to learn the topics from posts on the blog. So, please SUBSCRIBE to the blog now (see right side) and do the verification once email comes to your mailbox.  Check SPAM as well.
2. If you are subscribed to YouTube Channel, its good. But, I would request to go and click the BELL icon so that you receive email alerts of all the new videos. An example is shown here --
3. Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn are great platforms to share smaller things like any good article or really good AWS post (with lots of examples). So, I would be sharing those items on these social platforms. Please get connected on these - Links are given at the top. 
4. Many of the viewers post lot of custom doubts on YouTube comments. I spend considerable amount of time answering all. Sadly, once the query gets answered I don't even get an acknowledgement. May I request you to SHARE and LIKE if something is helpful to you. 
5. I am also thinking to setup a FORUM where we all could discuss and comment. Suggestions welcome!!
6. Please look at the AWS video playlists, the videos are put in a logical order in the playlists. 
7. While posting doubts/questions, kindly look at the relevant video/blog post. Many of the times, your question would already be there in the comments (asked previously by someone else). 
8. I am trying to cover the concepts and explain you with examples, but I also request you NOT to stop there. You should go ahead and read the AWS documentation for the specific topic and go deeper. 
9. And at last, if you have got benefited from KnowledgeIndia videos, I request you to write a small testimonial on LinkedIn/Facebook. (Both the links are given at top).

ALL the best guys. Happy learning AWS.
