In this complete hands-on tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up AWS Transit Gateway to connect multiple VPCs efficiently. AWS Transit Gateway is a powerful networking service that acts as a central hub to simplify and scale your VPC-to-VPC and on-premises network connectivity. This video walks you through the process step by step, from creating VPCs to testing connectivity between EC2 instances. Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate AWS user, this guide will help you. In This Video, You’ll Learn : What AWS Transit Gateway is and its benefits How to create two VPCs with subnets and route tables Setting up VPC endpoints and EC2 instances How to create and attach a Transit Gateway Updating routes and testing VPC connectivity By the end of this video, you’ll understand how to connect multiple VPCs seamlessly, reduce network complexity, and scale your AWS infrastructure with best practices. Why Watch This Video : Step-by-step hands-on demonstration – follow along in your AWS account Clear explanation of networking concepts in AWS Practical tips to avoid common mistakes when configuring Transit Gateway 💡 Tip: Use this tutorial as a reference to create your own multi-VPC network architecture and optimize AWS networking for your projects. #AWS #TransitGateway #VPC #CloudTutorial #Networking #AWSNetworking #HandsOnAWS #CloudInfrastructure

☁️ Day 8 of #30DaysOfAWS Been deep in the trenches trying to implement the production-grade VPC architecture from the AWS docs. Multi-AZ setup, NAT gateways per AZ, ALB in public subnets, Auto Scaling Group in private subnets, VPC endpoints—the whole deal. Still wiring things up and testing, but I’ve already learned a ton about routing, security groups, and scaling policies. Planning to share a full breakdown soon—with a diagram to show how everything connects. Stay tuned. #DevOps #CloudEngineering #AWSVPC #LearningInPublic #AWS #CloudComputing

I just wrapped deploying a 3-Tier system for the Reader recipe app on AWS using Terraform without the need for containers. I wanted to feel how things worked before containers orchestration. The key challenge was resilience. I learned how to intentionally design the network across multiple data centers (Multi-AZ). Seeing the complex VPC, load balancers, and a self-healing EC2 fleet come to life, all just from my code, felt good. I put together a simple walkthrough detailing exactly how I went from initializing Terraform to manually deploying the application. https://lnkd.in/d_AMDe3J #Terraform #AWS #CloudComputing #DevOpsJourney #IaC #AWSFreeTier

In this hands-on video, I’ve explained how to connect two AWS VPCs in the same region using VPC Peering — enabling secure communication between instances across networks.. 🎥 Video Live at 05:01 PM 👉 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gGsGgWx7 Projects Links:https://lnkd.in/geHTS5As 🧩 I’m excited to share my new project — “How to Set Up AWS VPC Peering in Same Region | Connect Two VPCs in AWS Step-by-Step” In this hands-on video, I’ve explained how to connect two AWS VPCs in the same region using VPC Peering — enabling secure communication between instances across networks. You’ll learn to: ✅ Create and configure two separate VPCs with unique CIDR ranges ✅ Set up public & private subnets with Internet and NAT Gateways ✅ Establish and accept a VPC Peering connection ✅ Update route tables and security groups for inter-VPC traffic ✅ Test connectivity between EC2 instances #AWS #VPCPeering #AWSNetworking #CloudComputing #DevOps #CloudEngineer #AWSProjects #AWSTutorial #AWSTraining #Networking #AmazonWebServices #CloudArchitecture #InfrastructureAsCode #DevSecOps #Automation #CloudSecurity #AWSCertification #CloudDeployment #NetworkingBasics #HarishNShetty

Today I explored some fundamental AWS concepts and services: 🔹 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝟯 · Installed and used the AWS SDK S3 Client · Learned about generating Pre-signed URLs for secure private access · Understood S3 Event Notifications for triggering actions like file uploads or deletions · Explored CloudFront for secure content delivery and connecting a custom domain to S3 · Reviewed S3 pricing — uploads are free; storage and retrieval incur charges 🔹 𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗜𝗔𝗠 (𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁) · Created users and groups to manage permissions · Learned how IAM enhances security by granting access only to authorized users 🔹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘃𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰 (𝗘𝗖𝟮 𝘃𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗱𝗮) · EC2: Requires managing fixed server resources and manual setup · Lambda: Fully managed serverless model that charges only when code executes · Explored the Serverless Framework for simplified deployment 💡 Overall, today’s learning helped me understand how AWS efficiently manages storage, permissions, and scalable infrastructure. #AWS #MERNStack #CloudComputing #LearningJourney

Our AWS bill gradually increased 26% over a few months, so I spent a few days digging into AWS Cost Explorer to identify the root cause. It turns out that it wasn't one big problem. It was four small decisions that weren't revisited: 📊 A single memory metric on one EC2 instance costing $300/month (high-resolution monitoring to troubleshoot a short-term problem) 🔗 An old New Relic integration sending metrics to a service we no longer use 📦 Container Insights logging every namespace in our EKS cluster when we only needed 11 production apps ($130/month in noise) 💾 Hourly AWS Backup snapshots with cross-region replication for a compliance requirement that didn't exist yet ($200/month in premature optimization) Cloud costs don't necessarily spike; they creep. Features are enabled for testing and remain active. Monitoring gets more verbose over time. Nobody revisits old decisions. By catching this early, I headed off nearly $10K in annual waste with zero impact to observability, zero impact to reliability, and no complaints from engineering. #AWS #FinOps #CloudCosts #DevOps
