BUILDING AWS DISASTER RECOVERY ARCHITECTURE FOR PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Goal
Using AWS Disaster Recovery for production and also setup failover configuration with Route53 and RDS
Abstract
In this workshop, we will learn about how to configure aws disaster recovery system for production ec2 workload.
Also, we will practice using ALB, RDS, Route53, Ec2, Backup services in AWS Cloud.
Description
Disaster Recovery (DR) is key area for your business continuity. Disaster can potentially down your workload, DR should be setup to bring the system up and running in a few times without major panic and data loss.
In this workshop, we are going to explore AWS Disaster Recovery service to avoid production workload downtime altogether.
We also cover about how we can configure Backup for production environment, RDS recovery and DNS failover scenario.
Understand your RTO and RTP and set the Disaster recovery system accordingly
AWS Account
To perform the activities of the workshop, you will need your own AWS account with administrator access.
You should have full access to services like VPC, EC2, ELB, DR, Route 53,S3.
AWS Services Covered:
1. AWS backup for backup configuration
2. Route 53, ALB, EC2 for application deployment.
3. Configure AWS DR for active workloa
4. Configure RDS for backend Tier of application.
Outcome
1. How we design DR strategy for our production workload
2. How to setup failover in Route53 and RDS
3. How to again up the environment with DR Strategy
4. How to prevent Disaster Recovery
Essential Knowledge
Basic Knowledge about aws service like EC2, RDS, ALB etc…

Building highly concurrent scalable event driven application with AWS
Goal
Building highly concurrent scalable event driven application with AWS
Abstract
When building any gaming / highly engaging consumer driven application, Number of users using the platform concurrently varies a lot based on many factors.
So in this workshop we will showcase & help to implement how to build such decoupled & scalable architecture with the help of AWS services.
Description
Gaming application is always a good case for high scalable architecture because of high engagement rate.
So we aim to share gaming as a usecase but this approach can be used in other domains like IOT where data stream is getting generate, Consumer centric platforms like hotstar or KBC where many concurrent users engage with platform.
Prerequisite
Minimum 2 years of Programming experience in any of the language (Php, node js, Java, python)
AWS Services Covered:
1. AWS ECS, ELB, EC2, VPC, SG, NAT GATEWAY, FIREHOSE, S3
2. AWS RDS, SQS, Elastic cache
3. AWS code build & code Deploy
4. AWS LAMBDA & ELEMENTAL MEDIA CONVERT

Building Serverless Apps using AWS SAM Framework
Goal
Building Serverless Apps using AWS SAM Framework
Abstract
In this workshop, you will architect, develop and deploy two different Applications using services like AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EventBridge, and Amazon Cognito. With the knowledge from the workshop, you can build and deploy your own serverless applications using these services for common use cases like web applications, analytics, and more.
Description
Part of this workshop, we would be creating two different applications.
1. A Contact Creation App. - How easier it would be if you could share your contact information with a click of a button and at the same time scan someone's QR code and get their contact information in your contacts easily. This app would allow you to understand few basic CRUD operations part of the Application and allow you to create a complete serverless backend using AWS Lambda functions and API Gateway to manage end to end operations.
2. AWS Cost Notification Bot - We always want to keep a track on how much usage we are incurring day by day on our AWS services. We would be building a cost notification bot service which would allow you to send notification to your Teams channel and letting you know the overall usage and your top services which are incurring costs.
Prerequisite
In order to complete this workshop you'll need an AWS Account with access to create IAM, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, EventBridge, API Gateway, and Cognito resources. All of the resources you will launch as part of this workshop are eligible for the AWS free tier if your account is less than 12 months old. See the AWS Free Tier page for more details.
AWS Services Covered:
1. The frontend of the application will be hosted on Amazon S3, with CDN enabled using Amazon CloudFront
2. The backend of the application will be entirely driven by AWS Lambda functions
3. Amazon EventBridge will be used for inter-communication across different microservices
4. Amazon API Gateway for REST
5. Amazon CloudWatch & AWS X-Ray for monitoring, observability, and debugging
6. Amazon Cognito for user management, authentication and authorization
7. DynamoDB for the storage
8. SES for sending out Email Notifications
9. SNS for sending out Event Notifications.
Essential Knowledge
Python would be the choice of langugage for this workshop so working knowledge of Python is must for this workshop.
