Tools and Technologies ⚙️💻

1. AWS CLI

AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) is a powerful tool that allows users to interact with AWS services directly from the terminal. It simplifies managing cloud resources by providing commands for a wide range of AWS services, enabling tasks such as provisioning, managing, and automating workflows with ease.

2. LocalStack

LocalStack is a fully functional, local testing environment for AWS services. It enables developers to simulate AWS services on their local machines, facilitating the development and testing of cloud-based applications without needing access to an actual AWS account.

3. Docker

Docker is a containerization platform that allows developers to build, share, and run applications in isolated environments called containers. It ensures consistent environments across development, testing, and production by packaging the application and its dependencies together.

4. Boto3

Boto3 is the official AWS SDK for Python, enabling developers to interact with AWS services programmatically. It provides a high-level, easy-to-use interface for managing AWS resources like S3, EC2, DynamoDB, and more.

5. Flask

Flask is a lightweight and flexible Python web framework designed for building web applications and APIs. It follows a minimalistic approach, providing essential tools while allowing developers to add extensions as needed.

Table Of Contents 📔 🔖 📑

1. Setting Up a Virtual Machine in a Cloud Environment

In this experiment, students will learn to understand the basics of cloud computing by setting up and configuring a virtual machine on a cloud platform such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure or localstack.

2. Deploying a Web Application on a Cloud Server

This experiment enables students to deploy a basic web application on a cloud server using services like AWS EC2, where they will practice deploying applications on the cloud infrastructure.

3. Working with Cloud Storage Services

This experiment sets up an AWS S3 bucket to upload, verify, and download data. It demonstrates secure and scalable cloud storage management.

4. Setting Up and Configuring Cloud Networking

This experiment focuses on configuring and managing cloud networking services, such as creating Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and subnets. It involves using cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure to set up and manage cloud networking environments.

5. Using Cloud Functions for Serverless Computing

In this experiment AWS Lambda deployment, execution, and testing are done using AWS CLI and LocalStack. The runtime image is pulled from Amazon ECR via Docker. This simulates a serverless environment for function invocation and validation.
