In the rapidly evolving world of education technology, finding cost-effective solutions that enhance live classroom experiences is a top priority. On May 29th, 2023, a webinar titled “Building Cost-Effective Live Classroom Solutions on AWS” provided a platform for experts to share their insights and experiences with an eager audience. As one of the speakers at this exciting event, we explored the transformative power of AWS in creating dynamic and budget-friendly learning environments. In this blog post, we will delve into the key takeaways and discuss how leveraging AWS can revolutionize education.

The Power of Cloud Technology in Education:
The webinar highlighted the immense potential of cloud technology, particularly Amazon Web Services (AWS), in the education sector. By leveraging the scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of the cloud, educators can enhance their teaching methodologies, streamline administrative tasks, and deliver engaging content to students in real-time.

This included exploring various AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and Amazon CloudFront, which enable educators to create robust and scalable infrastructure. By utilizing serverless computing, content delivery networks, and storage solutions, educational institutions can optimize their resource utilization and reduce infrastructure costs.

Cost Optimization Techniques:
Keeping costs under control is a crucial aspect of any educational project. The webinar shed light on various cost optimization techniques specific to AWS, ensuring that educators can make the most of their budgets. We discussed strategies such as leveraging AWS Spot Instances, automating resource provisioning with AWS Lambda, and implementing resource tagging for efficient cost tracking and management.

Scalability and Elasticity for Growing Classrooms:
With AWS, educators can effortlessly scale their live classroom solutions to accommodate a growing number of students. By utilizing AWS Auto Scaling, load balancers, and serverless computing, educational institutions can handle surges in student enrollment without incurring additional infrastructure costs. The webinar emphasized the importance of designing elastic architectures that dynamically adapt to varying student demands while optimizing resource utilization.

Security Considerations for Educational Data:
The webinar addressed the paramount importance of data security and privacy in educational environments. AWS provides robust security features and compliance standards, ensuring the protection of sensitive student information. Topics such as data encryption, access control, and compliance with industry regulations were discussed to guide educators in creating secure and trustworthy live classroom solutions.

For the very first time, AWS Community Day Bangladesh happened in offline capacity on 17th December by AWS User Group Bangladesh where I am the co-founder of this community group. There has been number of sessions and activities having more than 500 people. I was session speaker as well with a topic “Possibilities of Hybrid Cloud for Enterprise”. I tried to share different aspect of hybrid cloud and how it can be leveraged for better outcome which are compliant to different regulatory authority.

I have shared few snaps of the session along with the presentation deck below:

AWS Community Day Bangladesh 2022 (http://www.awsugbd.com/) took place on December 17th and brought together AWS enthusiasts, customers, and partners from Bangladesh and the surrounding region. The event was organized by the AWS User Group Bangladesh (I am the co-founder of this group) and featured a lineup of expert speakers and sessions focused on a variety of AWS-related topics.

Different speakers provided updates on the latest AWS products and services and shared insights on how organizations are using the cloud to drive innovation. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in technical sessions led by AWS experts, as well as attend panel discussions and attendee-led sessions.

In addition to the technical content, AWS Community Day Bangladesh 2022 also featured networking opportunities. Attendees had the chance to connect with their peers and learn from one another’s experiences with AWS.

Overall, AWS Community Day Bangladesh 2022 was a great success, with attendees praising the high-quality content and engaging speakers. The event provided valuable insights and best practices for using AWS in the region, and attendees left with a wealth of new knowledge and connections. If you missed AWS Community Day Bangladesh 2022, be sure to mark your calendar for next year’s event.

An in-house advanced technical session on AWS Security Best Practices was organized. Participants included clients from different industry vertices. Our experts highlighted realistic use cases during the workshop, along with a live demonstration of how security patches may prevent attacks, conserve resources, and reduce costs. We believe the workshop was highly beneficial for our attendees. As a speaker, it was also helpful to connect with them to understand different challenges and discuss about possible solutions.

I have shared the presentation deck below if it helps.

For different purpose, it gets necessary to provide the EC2 access ton user or group. Providing AWS managed EC2 Full Access can be critical as if the credential is leaked or abused, there can have potential risk of huge bill end of the month. To avoid that, we can make a custom policy and mention the instance type you would like to permit. For instance, if you permit nano, micro, small and medium size of instance, you can define that. So that, the related users/group members won’t be able to launch EC2 other than the mentioned type,

Here are the steps:

Step 1: Go to IAM section of the AWS service

Step 2: Go to Policies

Step 3: Provide the following code in JSON with your preferred name of the policy

{
“Version”: “2012-10-17”,
“Statement”: [
{
“Effect”: “Allow”,
“Action”: “ec2:“, “Resource”: ““,
“Condition”: {
“ForAllValues:StringLike”: {
“ec2:InstanceType”: [
“.micro”,
“.nano”,
“*.small”,
“*.medium”

]
}
}
}
]
}

Step 4: Assign this policy to a role.

Step 5: Assign the role to a specific user/group to activate the policy

Big event is about to launch. AWS Community Day 2022 is going to happen on December 10, 2022. We are already in process of participants registration and speakers. As a community leader and co-founder of the largest AWS User group of Bangladesh, I am the core organizer of this event.

Here is the organizing team to make a successful execution of this event:

Recently we have organized an webinar on “How to Achieve Reliability with an AWS Well-Architected Framework “ from Brain Station 23. As many of customers are about to/already leveraging AWS services, Well Architected Framework can help significantly with the 6 pillars. Few snapshots of the event is given below:

New batch for the session “Cloud Journey with AWS” is about to start. This session will be online based of total 24 hours which can help in adopting AWS at better manner.
