SAMPLE HANDS-ON PROJECTS*
01 CLOUD-BASED FILE SHARE AND SYNC SOLUTION
The solution can be easily scaled up to run in your data center or on a public cloud, with
its servers, storage, and other components completely managed and controlled by your
IT team in accordance with the company’s governance and security requirements.
Concepts:
VPC, EC2, Security Group, Internet Gateway, NAT Instance, LAMP Stack, S3 and MYSQL.
02 BUILDING AN AUTOMATED BUSINESS PROCESS USING MANAGED
SERVICES ON A PUBLIC CLOUD
In the connected world, it is imperative that the organizations are interlinked with the customers and
vendors. This process has been very sluggish, manual, batch-based, and prone to failures. Such integration
design has led to impaired decision-making and delays in the detection of fraudulent actions. This project
created an automated, event-based, real-time process using managed cloud services that do not have
these limitations.
Concepts:
Amazon S3, SNS, Athena and DynamoDB.
03 DEPLOYING WEB APP USING ECS
In the last decade, small and large enterprises have invested heavily in developing bespoke applications.
Since these applications have been built and enhanced over a while, they are complex and any form
of re-engineering to convert it to smaller, modular, and independently hosted services are difficult.
Managed Container Services from cloud providers allow predictable and reproducible packaging of
such apps. This project moved & deployed a classical web app to AWS ECS containers.
04 BUILDING SCALABLE AND RESILIENT APPLICATIONS
Creating web applications that are both resilient and scalable is an essential part of any application
architecture. A well-designed application should scale seamlessly as demand increases and decreases
and be resilient enough to withstand the loss of one or more compute resources.
Concepts:
Instance Group, Autoscaler, HTTP Load Balancer, Autohealing and Google App Engine.
13
05 SCALABLE GEO-DISTRIBUTED EVENT REGISTRATION APP
ON MICROSOFT AZURE
The application is a multi-tenant web application that can onboard thousands of corporates
and millions of end-users. The app is globally available with automatic geo-failover, as
any downtime may cost revenue loss to business as end-users will not be able to register.
Email notifications are sent to end-users after successful registration with relevant event
information.
Concepts:
AppServer Instances, Azure Active Directory, Functions and CDN.
06 BUILD A DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON CLOUD
Enterprise information is primarily captured either in a structured manner or an unstructured
manner. Databases have been very efficient in handling structured data and allowing
the business users flexibility to access the raw data. However, when it comes to handling
unstructured data storage, management will have less than the desired outcome if the
system used is optimized for structured data. We created a process and a Document
Management System that allows the enterprise to organize, catalogue and fetch data in an
intuitive manner.
Concepts:
AppServer Instances, Azure Active Directory, Functions and CDN.
07 CLOUDFORMATION | AWS CLI
Creating multiple containers and custom docker image.
Concepts:
AWS CLI, CloudFormation, CloudFormation Template and CloudFormation Stack.
08 CASSANDRA SETUP AND MASTERLESS CONCEPTS
Install multi-node Cassandra cluster, induce failure, create keyspace/table and access
from the client.
Concepts:
Cassandra and Big Data.
