I wish you the best of luck on your interview, watch my interview videos if you want to learn how to prep for these kind of roles!

Great question, I think I should make a video about this to answer your question

Strongswan would not be required in this case. I only used strongswan to represent an actual on-prem device (i.e Cisco, Juniper, etc.) So in your case, you can have your AWS VPC connected to your on-prem device. All you would need to do on the AWS side is create a CGW with the public IP of your on-prem device. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the sub! Stay tuned for more :D

Nope! It isn't required to learn how to code or to code in general. Although it is a bonus if you do!

I don't know all the profile/domains for the cloud support engineer role. But I'd assume that if you have experience with Java/Python, you may be aligned with a team that would require those skills. For any support job, soft skills would be amazing and beneficial for you!

That is just an example CIDR block that I wanted to use for the video. You could use different private CIDRs if you wanted to, choice is yours :)

I wish you the best on your interview! Let us know how it goes!

Thank you so much! Could you clarify what you meant by transferring my videos to oracle?

@@ngo2go for sure dude you make great content! And oh I was just complaining for my personal situation lol I was/am using Oracle and while it's fairly easy to "transfer" tutorials from aws to Oracle I found it tough sometimes because I'm fairly new to cloud stuff and even tho Oracle does admittedly have a TON of videos they aren't very good imo lol

This is more of a 9-5 role, we just have engineers around the world that will take over if you are over your shift times. No need to worry about working 24/7 :)

Hello there! Sorry for the delay, but the best cert to dip your feet into the cloud would be the "AWS Cloud Practitioner Foundational" certification. Now, even though this is good on your belt, I highly recommend having projects on your resume related to the cloud to make yourself stand out!

You definitely could! There is no singular path for everyone. Just pick a role that works for you and stick with it :)

@@ngo2go thats true but nobody rarely mentions it in videos and I believe because its not a sexy "buzz word" cyber and cloud is what gets people's attention

I don't have any courses to recommend per se. A lot of the times, roles like the CSA is something that can be self taught. TH-cam or looking at AWS public documentation will help a lot! Especially labbing like my S2S VPN videos.

Not really since you'll learn a lot on the job. But if you're applying for a CSA role, then learning about the cloud or having projects related to the cloud can be much more desirable.

@@ngo2go cool, thank you so much! I'm gonna start to work as a CSA in July!!

AWS does have a website that displays what customers we work with. Check it out on AWS customer success stories :)

For the online assessment, I would say that most of it is related to prioritizing certain things over other. There aren't resources per se that will tell you how to get good at customer service aside from improving soft skills. Just think of the customer and what would be best for them and you'll be fine on the assessment :)

Thanks a ton! Glad I helped!

Thank you for watching! I hope that you'll be able to pursue the cloud industry just as I have (even with no experience)

3 hours later, I finally can ping both of the EC2, while switching the IP (just follow the old vid on how to set up the EC2 and use this IP inside the diagram instead of using old video one. The problem i face was from 'sudo nano /etc/ipsec.conf' part where you need to delete all of the text inside of it (if you had it), and just copy paste the 'include /etc/ipsec.d/*.conf', do 'sysctl -p' and start the ipsec again. This video is very helpfull, and thanks to you to make another video from start to finish about StrongSwan.

Thank you so much for watching. I wish you the best on your IT career journey!

Thank you! You should be able to ping to your router (Ec2 instance) assuming that SG/NACL/Route tables have the correct input/output rules and a table to forward traffic back to original source.

One more thing is, why did I define a route table for VPC 1 that routes to the VPC's IP prefix range via VPG? Why do I need to define an additional static route? How are these 2 different?

Absolutely you can! To clarify you can do from 1 VPC (us-east-1) to say another VPC in (us-west-2). In short, one is used to route traffic to the VGW itself and the other is so that the VGW knows how to send traffic to the on-prem side itself. Which is why you might use the on-prem CIDR range or just quad 0's to allow all traffic.

Yes, your on-prem device (running on linux OS for example) can utilize strongswan so you don't need to create a strongswan instance on AWS itself. This can be done to simulate on-prem traffic (perhaps your office or home) to AWS VPC.

You bet!

Try using the Linux 2022 AMI, if you use the 2023 edition it'll populate errors. Hope it helps!

Yes I did! The screen is important, but I am not too sure if it'll involve technical or behavioral questions. Most definitely it seems more likely than not to be a resume screening. I do apologize for responding late but I hope you crushed it!

Hi Kihun, I have this Chime Interview scheduled with a recruiter after 2 days, can you let me know more about this,as I am also not sure if it technical or screening interview?

​@@shubhamsaxena3621hi bro I have phone interview on March 3. May I know how was your experience will it be technical? Kindly let me know

Yes it will be technical, prepare both network and OS concepts.

@@shubhamsaxena3621 bro May I know for which role u applied ?

Congrats to you! I would say that you should get familiar with AWS services itself. So create your AWS account and mess around with Ec2's and other popular services like S3, IAM, NAT Gateway, etc. If you're confused, just read more on public documentation and you'll get more clarification on it. Hope it helps!

Thank you for commenting! I've created a new video which has the test at the end of the video. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/I-aN7JyMugs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TechNgo

You bet!

I don't have a link to the commands since the commands will be on the S2S VPN configuration file. It'll tell you everything you need to know to establish your tunnels. I'll modify the description in the video so it has a sample template. Thanks for watching!

Like any other interview, there are both behavioral and technical interviews. I made sure to have pocket stories which relate to AWS leadership principles. I believe I did the best I could during the interview and eventually got hired as an Associate.

I wish you the best of luck on it! If I were you, I would get your bachelors first and then apply to get the Cloud support associate role which will bypass the internship.

Thank you! I took my AWS cert before I was a cloud support associate.

Try to tailor your resume for the jobs that you are applying for. If you are getting interviews but no hire, then I work try working on your soft skills. But if you're not getting interviews at all, then your resume needs to be changed.

My pleasure! I hope all is going well for you, best of luck on your final round :)

Hi @REXTECH9 Glad to see your comment, i want to know about the final round. Can you please explain what would be a final round it contains any technical questions or related to any behavioural questions

@@muthumanikandan2943 It contains 2 rounds of each technical and behavioral (on principles)

Hi Rex I was sent the online assessment any insight you can share?

Hi guys I have tech round 1 for CSE 1 windows role.. Do you guys have any resources for windows os

I totally get it. I mentioned this in my other comments, but if you are getting interviews but no hire, then I work try working on your soft skills/interviewing skill. But if you're not getting interviews at all, then your resume needs to update. The CCNA should automatically get you interviews, but an A+ certification can't hurt to get as well.

Yes, you can move onto strongswan. Just be sure to download the correct file when creating the S2S VPN.

Check out my newest video! th-cam.com/video/I-aN7JyMugs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TechNgo

It could be a preshared key issue if the keys do not match.

I hear you and will be implementing that in the future :)

You could certainly move up the latter to devops if that is something you would like to get into. Or you could go into a solutions architect role. The sky is the limit

@@ngo2go Thank you for your reply. What benefits do people get from going for the internship? How is progression measured? Can I move up in roles faster than required?

You get experience with AWS and develop foundational knowledge with AWS as a whole. I can't be specific about making progress to the next role - just know the answer is yes. @@newdaysamepains

@@ngo2go Thank you for your reply again. In all honesty I just want to know the role(s) after CSE 2 or Senior CSE.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I think it definitely is an honor when a reputable company reaches out to you! There are plenty of opportunities in the tech industry!

There are multiple certs that I mentioned in my video, they can range from 100-300$ per cert.

Great suggestion, I do plan on making a video like that so stay tuned

Customer service skills and learning how to learn are super valuable skills you should master!
