In his address, he highlighted the university’s emphasis on bridging the gap between academic knowledge and industry expectations. The event was meticulously designed to immerse students in real-world cloud infrastructure through guided sessions, practical tasks, and expert-led demonstrations.
Held at Lab 6, HSST, the workshop featured intensive hands-on sessions where students engaged in tasks such as virtual machine setup, managing cloud storage, and deploying applications on various platforms. The sessions were complemented by real-time troubleshooting and interactive Q&A segments, allowing participants to gain clarity on technical challenges and strengthen their understanding of cloud environments.
Coordinated by Dr. Gaurav Sharma and Ms. Shefali Khatri, the workshop provided students with vital exposure to the evolving landscape of serverless computing, edge technology, and AI-cloud integration. The participants walked away with improved technical competence, greater confidence in cloud-based development, and a deeper appreciation for the skills required in today’s cloud-driven industries. This workshop not only reinforced theoretical knowledge but also nurtured the participants’ readiness for future roles in a rapidly changing technological world.
