The entire 4-day training program was designed to teach the significance of AWS Cloud Computing and meet industry demand for skilled professionals. The training at BBA CA lab provided hands-on practice to students on their systems. Day-wise topics are listed below.

DAY-01: INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD COMPUTING

During the training session, Mr. Aniket Lavate provided an introduction to Cloud computing, explaining its purpose and applications. He elaborated on various services like IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS that form the foundation of the Cloud system. Our students had a hands-on experience of these services on their systems, which were presented live during the session

Mr. Lavate explained the importance of understanding these services to use them effectively in different applications and their role in the Cloud. He also discussed various Cloud service providers available in the market, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle, IBM, Adobe, VMware, and SAP.


The first day of the training session concluded with an explanation of the different ways to avail of these services, the necessary skills required for their effective utilization, and their various applications.



DAY-02: INTRODUCTION TO AWS AND AWS INFRASTRUCTURE

On day two of the training, Mr. Aniket Lavate presented an introduction to AWS. He explained the fundamentals of the system, including the procedure for opening an AWS account. Theoretical sessions were conducted to cover various AWS services such as compute, storage, databases, analytics, networking, mobile, developer tools, management tools, IoT, Security, and enterprise applications. The students were then given hands-on practice to use these services. To give the students a better understanding of AWS, Mr. Lavate presented some recognized companies that use AWS services in their systems, including Netflix, LinkedIn, Samsung, Vodafone, Siemens, McDonald’s, and Walt Disney.

 

The first step to approach the services provided by AWS is creating a server on the AWS platform. Mr. Lavate practically explained how to create an AWS server and demonstrated the live activity for these practices performed by the students on their systems.

 


In addition, the infrastructure components in AWS, such as zone availability, region, edge locations, and regional edge caches, were covered in the theoretical session. Mr. Lavate explained these components and emphasized their importance in building an AWS system. The session was interactive and helped the students better understand the topic.     

 

DAY-03: REMOTE ACCESS TO THE AWS SERVER

Accessing a server remotely is sometimes necessary, and when it comes to accessing an AWS server in remote mode, it's important to understand the various tools that can be used. An informative lecture was given by Mr. Aniket Lavate on the remote tools needed to securely operate our server remotely. During his presentation, he explained the use of tools such as SSH (Secure Socket Shell) and RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), and later provided a live demonstration of their use.

SSH is a network protocol that allows users to access a server from an unsecured network in a secure way, while RDP is used to establish an encrypted connection between remote users and the AWS server without the need for a virtual private network. The lecture included both theoretical and practical sessions, with a summary of the tools followed by a live demonstration and hands-on practice for the students.


Mr. Aniket Lavate also explained the procedure for creating different operating systems on the AWS server, starting with the creation of a Windows server and later explaining the steps required to create a Linux server. The students were guided to perform these activities on their own systems to gain a hands-on experience. 

DAY-04: FIREWALL SECURITY, WEBSITE HOSTING AND LOAD BALANCER

On day four of our training, we learned about the crucial and essential requirements necessary for securely running and managing our server, even under difficult circumstances. Mr. Aniket Lavate led the session and demonstrated step-by-step how to create, host, and balance a website in the Cloud. Students watched as he created a website on the live system and then generated a replica to manage the website if the server went down for any reason. Students were able to follow along and gain hands-on experience.

 


The importance of firewall security was also emphasized as a way to protect our server from unauthorized access, unsecured networks, and hacking attempts. Students learned about monitoring network traffic and preventing security breaches. The entire session was practical and informative, providing a strong foundation for our career paths.

 


During the session on "AWS Training Program," students were provided with a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic and promising field of Cloud Computing. Towards the end of the day, Principal Professor Dr. Aftab Anwar Shaikh, Mr. Aniket Lavate, and Dr. Imran Baig Mirza shared insights on various career paths, skills required to excel in the industry, and the potential for growth and innovation.


The Department of B. Voc. Software Development is dedicated to providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in today's technology-driven world. As part of this commitment, our Principal, Professor Dr. Aftab Anwar Shaikh, has announced a 30-hour advanced course on AWS. This program is designed to assist students who struggle with programming and will help them advance their careers, guiding them towards their True North.



 The AWS training program that spanned over four days came to an end with feedback from Mr. Aniket Lavate, Technical Head at Lavatech Technology, Pune, followed by feedback from the students who attended. The training program was highly interactive and engaging, with students actively participating throughout. The trainer and the students had a Q&A session at the end of every session. Assistant Professor Nikhat Hurzuk was also present throughout the training program to assist with the sessions.


Dr. Imran Baig Mirza concluded the program by thanking Mr. Aniket Lavate for sharing his valuable knowledge with the students and helping them shape their careers in the growing industry. The management was also acknowledged for providing this golden opportunity to guide the students.
