SAMPLE HANDS-ON
PROJECTS

Cloud-Based File Share and

01 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.

Building an Automated Business Process Using Managed Services

02 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.

Deploying Web App Using

03 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.

10
 Building Scalable and Resilient
04 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.

Scalable Geo-Distributed Event Registration App on Microsoft

05 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.

Build a Document Management

06 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: Lambda, Elasticsearch, Containers, Python and Java Codes, S3 and DynamoDB.

11
 CloudFormation | AWS CLI
07
Creating multiple containers and custom docker image
Concepts: AWS CLI, Cloud Formation, Cloud Formation Template and Cloud Formation
Stack.

Cassandra Setup and Masterless

08 Concepts
Install multi-node Cassandra cluster, induce failure, create keyspace/table and access from
the client.

Concepts: Cassandra and BigData.
