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
and 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.
*Sample Projects
Concepts: Amazon S3, SNS, Athena and DynamoDB
PG PROGRAM IN CLOUD COMPUTING 10
 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 and Fargate

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 and 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 and CDN

*Sample Projects

PG PROGRAM IN CLOUD COMPUTING 11

 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 Desired outcome if the system used is opti -
mized for structured data. Created a process and a document management system that
allows the enterprise to organize, catalogue and fetch data in an
intuitive manner.

Concepts: Lambda, Elastisearch, Containers, Python and Java Codes, S3 and DynamoDB

07

Cloud Formation | AWS CLI

Creating Multiple Containers and Custom Docker Image

Concepts: AWS CLI, Cloud Formation, Cloud Formation template and Cloud formation stack

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

Concepts: Cassandra and BigData
