Cloud Computing Cell

Introduction

Cloud Computing Cell,the technical society, has been a part of Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College since February 2016. The members are exposed to the latest Cloud Technologies that enable them to be market ready thereby increasing their opportunities in placements and research. It provides a platform to the students to compute, manage and deploy the cloud. The Cell is coordinated by Mr.Santosh Kumar Mishra and Mr, Sundeep Raj, faculty members, IT department.

Cloud computing is a growing computing technology that provides almost unlimited computing resources on demand. It connects a number of other technologies like IoT, Big Data, Fog etc. The users of cloud can access data, applications and storage etc. with least management of local environment. It can be understood as a delivery system that delivers computing in the same way as a power grid delivers electricity. The Cloud Computing Cell, has successfully installed private cloud using Apache Cloudstack. Cloudstack works on the IaaS model of cloud where the services are the complete virtual computers that are able to do the computation as on local machine.

The members are exposed to the latest Cloud Technologies that enable them to be market ready thereby increasing their opportunities in placements and research. It provides a platform to the students to compute, manage and deploy the cloud and related services.

Year wise Sessional Reports

Activities

The cell helps students to boost their learning about latest technological trends. The cell is also promoting research work and projects in the field of cloud computing and related technologies.

The cell conducts a series of activities every year few of them are mentioned here.

Workshop on "React-ion" 2023

Information Technology department in collaboration with department society CLOUD COMPUTING CELL organized 2-days workshop “React-ion", a code along with an introductory workshop to Web development through React Framework on 10th(Saturday) and 11th(Sunday) of June at Web Technology Lab. 40 students from 1st and 2nd year were registered and actively participated in the workshop.The workshop started on 10th June. The workshop was conducted from 10 AM to 4 PM on 10th and 11th of June.

On the first day, Second-year and Third-year members of the Cloud Computing Cell taught about the basics of Web development with HTML and CSS. Students were guided through a code along exercise where they practiced and implemented syntax to develop a webpage. Students were also provided with refreshment before they were introduced to JavaScript language.On the Second day, all issues and queries regarding HTML, CSS and JavaScript were resolved and then all participants were introduced to React Framework and its use was demonstrated. Participants were also encouraged to follow all commands and codes along with the instructor. Workshop concluded with an Introduction to Cloud Computing and its role in the development of students.

It was a very informative session with lots of positive feedback by the students who attended the event. Cloud Computing Cell has successfully conducted this workshop and also aspires to conduct more such kinds of events to encourage learning of the new Technical skills and fields.

The event was well coordinated by our faculty coordinator Mr. Santosh Mishra (Assistant Professor-IT), Mr. Sundeep Raj (Assistant Professor-IT) and all the students ‘members of cloud cell’.

Cloud Computing Cell has successfully conducted this workshop and also aspires to conduct more such kind of events to encourage learning of the new Technical skills and fields.

Cloudsplore 2022

The Cloud Computing Cell has conducted a workshop from 28th to 29th April 2022 titled as “CloudSplore” . The workshop was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Parneet Kaur and Dr. Abhilasha Singh (Coordinators Cloud Cell).

The Cloud Computing cell has been in successful execution for more than 6 years and has bookmarked itself as the one of the prestigious technical societies of AKGEC, IT Department. In order to continue the trends of the effective learning and capturing intelligent minds to serve the college in even bigger and better way, it is necessary to organize events which help students to gain extra knowledge and sharpen their technical skills. Thus, in this series another workshop ‘Cloudsplore’ was conducted by the cell on 28th and 29th April 2022. This event was open to all first- and second-year students, 140 students were registered for this Workshop.
The workshop was carried out in following manner:

1) Round 1: This Round was conducted in 2 days in which we explained the cloud and its application along with Hands-On-Experience on Virtual Machine creation on AWS and GitHub to all the participants. This round was held at Web technology lab, IT lab 1 and IT lab 2 on 28th and 29th April at 4 PM.

2) Round 2: This Round was consisted of quiz based on cloud and it`s services such as Virtual Machine creation and GitHub questions which was self-paced to access the basic technical and IQ of the students. The students were shortlisted on the basis of their marks for this round. This round was held online at D2C Platform on 30th April 2022 at 7:00 PM.

The top three winners of the event were awarded with the cash prizes:

Name Branch Year Prizes
