Hackathon

On 5th October 2024, an AWS Hackathon was held at Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam, sponsored by Octaunitech in collaboration with the IIPC and organized by the Computer Science Department. The event featured guest speakers Mr. Eby Kuriakose and Mr. Rajkumar Thoppen, who guided participants through various cloud computing tasks using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The hackathon involved group participants deploying a website using Amazon EC2 virtual machines. Each group was required to configure two virtual machines, one on Ubuntu and the other on Windows, and implement a load balancer to distribute traffic between the two. This setup demonstrated the efficiency of load balancing by alternating traffic between the VMs upon refreshing the webpage, showcasing the benefits of scalability and reliability in web applications
