AWS Project: Build an AI-Powered Chatbot with Amazon Lex, Bedrock, S3 and RAG | AWS Tutorials Tiny Technical Tutorials 2024-11-24 | Generative AI and chatbots are all the rage these days—whether it’s ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini. But you can also build your own with AWS services, and even drive it from your own data with retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Using Amazon Lex for the chatbot, Amazon Bedrock for the AI, and S3 for document storage, you get a super-smart chatbot that lets you have conversations about your data.In this hands-on tutorial, we’ll start by requesting access to two different Amazon Bedrocks models. Then we’ll set up an S3 bucket to house travel policy documents (or whatever documents you’d like). Then we set up a knowledge base in Amazon Bedrock that points to the S3 bucket. Finally, we’ll build a Lex bot to leverage all of that goodness, letting us have a conversation about travel policies (to Mars, no less!). Also be sure to stick around to the end where I’ll show you how to delete all the resources we created.🌟***WHAT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW ALONG***🌟• An AWS account• Access to Amazon Titan Embeddings G1 – Text Model on Bedrock• Anthropic Claude v2 Model on Bedrock• The four PDFs used in this video are zipped up and available for download here: drive.google.com/file/d/1kyewU4eCFnaYS3wQ7Fyv22G3ycthbfJb/view?usp=sharing • If you want to use a proper web UI for your bot, check out the instructions in this GitHub repo: github.com/aws-samples/aws-lex-web-ui 🌟***OTHER VIDEOS YOU MIGHT ENJOY***🌟• Getting started with Amazon Bedrock: youtu.be/32D7NJK9QIk• S3 for Beginners: youtu.be/mDRoyPFJvlU🌟***MY AWS COURSES***🌟If you’re interested in getting AWS certifications, check out these full courses.

AWS Amplify Gen 2 - Set Up Your Local Development Environment | Tutorial for Beginners Tiny Technical Tutorials 2024-10-16 | When you’re doing development with AWS Amplify, chances are you want to do your work locally, from the command line, or in an IDE like VS Code. It’s totally possible to do, but first you’ll need to understand a few things about IAM Identity Center, AWS Organizations, SSO and the AWS CLI.In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk you through the basics of setting up IAM Identity Center with an AWS Organization. We’ll create a custom permission set and then create a user and assign them to an account using that permission set. From there, we’ll install the AWS CLI locally, and configure an AWS profile so we can issue AWS commands from the command line. As we go, we’ll see some behind-the-scenes goodies like where your profile is stored, and what controls the timeout interval for temporary credentials. By the time we’re done, we’ll able to issue Amplify commands from our local machine.Be sure to stick around to the end for step-by-step instructions on how to delete the resources provisioned during the video.🌟***WHAT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW ALONG***🌟• An AWS account, logged in with admin permissions• Basic familiarity with IAM Identity Center (though I’ll guide you through the basics)• The AWS CLI🌟***LINKS REFERENCED IN THIS VIDEO***🌟• The Amplify Gen 2 guide for setting up a local dev environment: https://docs.amplify.aws/react/start/account-setup/🌟***OTHER VIDEOS YOU MIGHT ENJOY***🌟• Build a React app using Amplify Gen 2: youtu.be/7-7ugqAxgxI• IAM Identity Center concepts: youtu.be/gpquYmcpZpo🌟***MY AWS COURSES***🌟If you’re interested in getting AWS certifications, check out these full courses.

Build Your Own HTTP Server from Scratch | CodeCrafters Challenge Tiny Technical Tutorials 2024-03-13 | One of the best ways to learn a technology is to build it from the ground up. That's the premise of CodeCrafters, which offers a catalog of challenges to build popular tools and technologies from scratch (think things like Docker, Git, Redis, a DNS server, etc.).🌟***CodeCrafters Affiliate Link***🌟Sign up here: app.codecrafters.io/join?via=tinytechnicaltutorialsIn this video, I'll walk you through the "Build your own HTTP server" challenge. Using the platform, you'll build a HTTP server that's capable of handling simple GET/POST requests, serving files and handling multiple concurrent connections. Along the way, we'll learn about TCP connections, HTTP headers, HTTP verbs, handling multiple connections and more.The idea of CodeCrafters is to "learn by doing," and there are lots of ways to write the code. I'll show you code examples and hints that you can use to get you started writing your own code.
