 HANDS-ON PROJECTS*

01 Cloud based file share and sync solution

Implemented a cloud-based scalable and secure file share and sync solution using AWS services. The solution can be
easily scaled up to run in your data center or on a public cloud, with its servers, storage etc. completely managed and
controlled by your IT team in accordance with a company’s governance and security requirements.
Concepts: VPC, EC2, Security Group, Internet Gateway,NAT instance,LAMP stack,S3,MYSQL

02 Building an Automated Business Process using Managed Services on a Public Cloud

In the connected world, it is imperative that the organizations be interlinked with the customers and vendors. This
process has been very sluggish, manual, batch-based and prone to failures. Such Integration design has lead 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,DynamoDB

03 Deploying web app using ECS

In the last decades, small and large enterprises have invested heavily in developing bespoke applications. Since these
applications have been built and enhanced over a period of time, they are complex and any form of re-engineering to
convert it to smaller, modular and independently hosted services is difficult. Managed Container Services from cloud
providers allows predictable and reproducible packaging of such apps. This project moved & deployed a classical web
app to AWS ECS containers.
Concepts: Docker,ECS,Load Balancer, Fargate

*Sample Projects
 HANDS-ON PROJECTS*

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,Google App Engine

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, CDN

06 Build a Document Management System on Cloud

Enterprise information is primarily captured in either a structured or unstructured manner. Databases have been very
efficient in handling structured data and allowing the business users the flexibility to access the raw data. However,
unstructured data storage and management will have less than the desirable outcome if the system used is optimized for
structured data.Created a process and a document management system that allows the enterprise to organize, catalog &
fetch data in an intuitive manner.
Concepts: Lambda, Elastisearch, Containers, Python and Java Codes, S3,DynamoDB

07 CloudFormation | AWS CLI

Creating Multiple Containers and Custom Docker Image
Concepts: AWS CLI, Cloud Formation, Cloud Formation template, cloud formation stack

STUDENT SPEAK

Delivered a talk on Big Data Management in AWS and this is just due to
PGPCC. I didn’t know anything about AWS before joining this program but
today things have changed. Thanks, Great Learning for the great course. Was PANKAJ BAJAJ
able to successfully clear the AWS Solutions Architect (Associate) Lead Developer
certification even before graduating from the program.

I feel fortunate to be a part of this course which helped me to learn all the
interesting and useful concepts and would like to thank all the efforts that
have been put in classes to make us understand and implement those. ANURAG SHUKLA
