The instructor is explain the concepts very clear which make it easy to understand. You get know why each component is need and how the connect together to build a functional VPC. However it would nice if the instructor can show you which tool is best for which use case, for an example when he explain the use of Global Accelerator it was like linking two VPC from two different regions using a Global Accelerator as your entry-point. He then explain the use of Route53 as the entry point with two LB which each route traffic to a separate VPC instead of using Global Accelerator as the entry point for Rout53. The second thing the course needs to be updated the AWS UI has changed now . The course will need some update to cover the security portion like how and where to place your WAF firewall to maximize your security posture

Video is great for step by step, but lecture diagram are not matching which it leads to confusion. If you going use load balancer explain why and when you use LB with one EC2, what is LB will balance if you have only one EC2, unless the LB play more roles than distribute network traffic between EC2 targets.

The AWS Networking course was very informative and well-structured. It helped me understand cloud concepts clearly with practical examples.

Sir, I think sections 21 and 22 need to be interchanged. And please update terraform more basics. Really good course. Thanks a lot... Easily learnt a lot from your course....
By Manchala Leela Ramesh on 4/9/2026
only reason i gave 3 start is, Rahul it would be better if you take 2 min to explain the service. For example take Gateway load balancer you can just tell what is GLB why it is used and what are the real time use cases of it in production, that's it. This would give us clear understanding of why we are learning about particular service. However practically deploying the solutions make sense and that's a good approach. But before we do deploy the stuff we wanted to know why aspect of it. Hope you take this into consideration.

It was nice learning experience.Got some really good understanding about the aws networking concepts.Thanks Rahul!

This course has some valuable content in sections 1-20, where you gain solid knowledge about VPC and multiple AWS networking services through hands-on practice. However, the teaching approach relies heavily on repetitive recreation of the entire network infrastructure in each section. I believe the course would be more effective if it established one VPC foundation and built upon it progressively. I noticed this course appears to be a compilation from the instructor's YouTube channel, as each chapter ends with a prompt to join their premium membership. My main concern is with sections 21 and 22, which suddenly introduce 1 hour 40 minutes and 1 hour 53 minutes of Terraform content respectively, without any prior foundation. I was shocked that these sections were added without preparing students with Terraform basics first. This feels like padding to inflate the course duration, which could be misleading for new students. If you removed the Terraform sections and condensed the repetitive VPC recreations, this course would realistically be just a couple of hours long. However, that's not as marketable, so instead we get hours of inefficient content. I've always been skeptical of courses with "Zero to Hero" in their titles, and this course confirmed my suspicions. You don't start from zero, nor do you reach hero level by the end.

Excellent course. Everything is explained in clear way. Each chapter begins from clear AWS account, even you have to repeat many steps from the previous chapter, you can train and additionally you know what is where and why in the infrastructure (and how to repeat the same steps in your AWS account). I had some experience with networking before this training, but it helps me to go deeper and I found the answer why we are using some resources. Totally recommend this training.
By Amit Kasrung on 11/8/2025
Easy to understand every bit of it. Simple language. You can start any section without much dependency on the previous one.
