 Report on CloudQuest – The AWS Innovation Challenge

Venue: MCA 1
Dates: 17th, 18th, and 19th February
Time: 8:30AM to 01:30 PM
Resource Persons: Mr Szen John

CloudQuest – The AWS Innovation Challenge was a three-day intensive bootcamp organized to provide students with strong practical exposure to cloud computing using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The program focused on building real-time cloud infrastructure and deploying applications using AWS services. Emphasis was given to hands-on learning, teamwork, and problem-solving aligned with industry practices.

Day-wise Program Details

Day 1: Introduction to AWS and Core Services

The first day of the bootcamp began with an introductory session on cloud computing and the AWS ecosystem. The resource person explained the step-by-step process of creating an EC2 Launch Template and discussed its importance in managing scalable infrastructure. Students were guided to create an S3 bucket and understand its use for object storage. The session also covered Elastic File System (EFS), including its creation and configuration. A live demonstration was provided on mounting EFS with an EC2 instance to enable shared file storage. Students practiced all the steps simultaneously, gaining hands-on experience.

Day 2: Group Formation and Application Development

On the second day, participants were divided into 10 groups, and each group was assigned a task to design, build, and deploy a working cloud-based application using AWS services. The resource person explained the task requirements and guided students in planning the application architecture. Each group started working on setting up EC2 instances, configuring storage services, and integrating a database. The session focused on implementing the learned AWS concepts in a real-time application environment.

Day 3: Application Deployment and Presentation

On the third day, the groups continued working on their assigned tasks, focusing on completing the deployment and testing of their applications. Each group ensured that the application was successfully hosted on AWS and properly connected to a database. At the end of the day, all groups presented their completed tasks, explaining the architecture, AWS services used, and the deployment process. The resource person evaluated the presentations and provided feedback on performance, implementation, and best practices.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the bootcamp, students were able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of cloud computing and the AWS environment.
• Create and manage EC2 Launch Templates for scalable infrastructure.
• Configure and use AWS S3 for secure object storage.
• Create and mount Elastic File System (EFS) with EC2 instances.
• Design and deploy a working application using AWS cloud services.
• Integrate a database with a cloud-hosted application.
• Work collaboratively in teams to solve real-world cloud deployment challenges.
• Present and explain cloud-based solutions with confidence.

Conclusion

The CloudQuest – The AWS Innovation Challenge bootcamp successfully provided students with practical exposure to AWS cloud services. The combination of guided instruction, group-based tasks, and final presentations helped students gain confidence in deploying real-world applications on the cloud. The program effectively enhanced technical skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, making it a valuable learning experience for all participants.
