How To Create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in AWS

Thank you

Can you substitute AWS Linux and install Kali?

Did Billing alarm creation get deprecated out? I do not see it when I follow along.

In your video you used Putty to SSH into your new instance. Why did you use Putty instead of just connecting directly from the terminal on your local machine? I'm in school for IT so I'm not familiar with Putty or why it is used, yet.

Very informative. Thank you.

I lost interest when you introduced billing alarms lol

Can you extend this project to create your own cloud file server? like onedrive or dropbox? if so what would i need?

Thank you for uploading this video it was very informative. Question; When creating the instances I notice there isn't a version of Ubuntu client or Kali linux, do you know why? Also, instead of making the instances available on the internet I would like to create a private VPC where I can create two hosts to practice some exploit techniques, can it be done?

Great video! Thank you so much.

It's not free if there asking for a credit card which i don't have. It would be nice if there really was a free cloud service out there. There's no way around it either, i've tried all sorts of suggested ways. Super aggrivating though. You should let your viewers know this right from the beginning. I heard Oracle actually has a free cloud tier, only asks for email name and address, i'll check it out and let you know for sure. Thanks for making videos, looks like you made a bunch of viewers happy.

I like your videos and I was following along until the part with the Putty Keygen. Can you explain how to connect instance on a Mac. Thanks.

My instance doesn't have a public ipv4 address. How can I fix this? Thank you!

Thanks, Jon, for such excellent training. Only one query for education purposes can we use AWS, such as experimenting with DDoS attacks or Ethical hacking. Please advise

you are a legend. thank you so much for making this video. god bless!

awesome man

Can we do this from a mac as well? , I asked because in the video it looks like you’re using windows ?

Can I create this homelab on AWS to simulate an on premise network running a domain joined DC, Active directory, DNS, DHCP server, a few computers running on the "on premise network" etc and then hybrid join it to Azure so I can use Azure active directory etc? So I would basically have a hybrid network between AWS "my on premise network" and Azure "my cloud environment"

Jon, if I follow exactly the guidance here for practices purposes am I vulnerable for attacks? Because the Security Groups configured, like you said were not good practices. Actually because the EC2 instances are exposed. Is that correct? And only for lab purposes is ok to stay as they are? I really want to go ahead to practice labs.

New viewer, been binge watching your videos. So thank you for all your help Jon!

Would you say this method of setting up a lab is preferable to your other video where you utilized VMs via hyper V, VMware, etc?

Thank you very much Jon. I've always been wary of cloud services because I could accidentally use expensive services, thank you for showing us how to set a billing alarm. Great and very informative video!

Hey John! New to your channel, love the video. Would love to see the screen zoomed in as you go so that watching it on mobile is more legible. Subscribed!!

CLOUD , AWS .

you are a legend thanks!!

I'm stuck! I've created the VPC and edited the routes correctly. However, when i go to adjust the subnet associations there aren't any in there. Should that already be created and tied to the VPC upon creation? Or do I need to manually adjust this? Thanks for posting these videos!

Im stuck, I can't see any option that says "Launch VPC wizard", instead it says "Create VPC" and the VPC dashboard itself looks slightly different to the one shown in this video. Is it possible that the AWS console has had an update or something?

I would love to see how you would set up a Malware Lab with the following OSes: Remnux (Linux based), Win 11 Pro OS. Remnux is GUI based but can heavily rely on the CLI so I'm not sure what that would look like

Like Bradley I have the same issue. The VPC dashboard on your video has a different look than on the AWS page.
That's probably where I got lost !
Somehow still managed to setup routing tables & subnets. Should I delete routing tables & subnets and start again from create VPC ? Thanks Vincent

Udemy or corsera?

You think doing the Aws subscription to complete their course would be good enough to get a job?

What happens after 750 hours of free usage ? AWS is going to surprise you with hug bill amount, so be careful in choosing the plan and after the plan expiry we don't have any other option than to pay for AWS.

This was awesome! Especially if you're brand new to this!

Hello world 🌎

No billing option under Alarms (only "In alarm" and "All alarms" - you have four options, I see two). Changed? (free tier)

how do I setup guacamole with this ?

Notice: To add billing alarms you must manually enable it first. Go to the dropdown with the username on the top right then select billing dashboard. Afterwards click on Billing Preferences on the left to see the option for Receive Billing Alarms.

Newbie here. trying to learn infosec from zero experience. May i know what are the major differences in networking between instance on AWS and a actually physical machine? I was learning toward using a cloud instance to practice (since i cant afford another machine) From my shallow knowledge, AWS has its own set of defense mechanism applied to the cloud environment. will that making learning or practicing difficult?

Thank you !

Do you think you could update it has been a year a lot Is different

If I just stopped the instance and not terminate it, will I still get billed or will my free hours still runs?

Your video is not indept enough for total beginers, how did you found your internet gateway and how did you found available public subnet? I stopped watching after the public subnet.

I thought we would have a Linux desktop at the end to use ?? Not just spin up an instance and then immediately terminate it.

When i try to edit subnet associations it just spins, any ideas?

Thank you. But i will actually like to launch an ec2 instance, create Active directory and join domains. Please you have a video for that?

The console GUI has changed a lot since this tutorial. Might be time for a new one :)

I really enjoyed your video Jon, thank you. Do you have any video that builds on this one, showing how to carry some other cybersecurity task, activities or testing after setting up this home lab

Free account, but you have to provide credit card info.

Thank you! As usual - you save the day!

This is godsend. I've been trying to make a home lab and work on projects but i didnt want use a lot of my laptop memory downloading a bunch of vm's. Havent finished the video but this is the kind of thing ive been searching for since it can give IT and cloud experience

great content! very clear and straight forward instructions....one suggestion though would be to make the mouse pointer stand out so its easier to see where your navigating too other then that 5/5 ⭐

Learning AWS right now. I just watched your video from 3 years ago, and I subscribed right away. I just wanted to hop in and say thank you for your videos. Excited to learn more now in IT.
