He is widely recognized for his extensive knowledge of Cloud Stack, including Huawei Cloud and Amazon Web Services, as well as Containers such as Docker and Kubernetes. His expertise spans across Team Management, People Skills, and Customer Management. As a Top Coder Rank in Huawei, he covers comprehensive topics on Containerization and orchestration, exemplified by his proficiency in Docker and Kubernetes.

Session 1(AN):

The session commenced at 9:30 am with a Welcome Speech delivered by Prof. Sivasakthi B. She extended a warm welcome to the faculty attending the program and introduced the Chief Guest, providing a brief overview of their significance to the event.

The Keynote Speaker initiated the session by delving into the fundamental concepts of the cloud, elucidating its functionality and necessity. The discussion then progressed towards Docker, outlining how any user could script the creation of a Docker image by specifying instructions for installing dependencies and configuring the environment. The Resource Person elaborated on various Docker Commands such as docker pull, docker build, docker run, docker ps, and docker exec.

Towards the culmination of the First Session, the guest speaker provided a demonstration on developing, shipping, and running applications in containers. Furthermore, the speaker elucidated on adding layers in user containers and emphasized the purpose of a registry. Additionally, there was emphasis on the pivotal role of Docker in distributed applications.

Session 2(FN):

Session 2 commenced at 1:30 pm on 2nd December 2023. The Keynote Speaker initiated the session by highlighting the significance of Kubernetes and emphasized why users should have knowledge about it. The speaker proceeded to delve into the architecture of Kubernetes, providing a detailed overview.

Subsequently, the guest speaker elaborated on the creation of nodes, pods, services, and deployment within Kubernetes. The discussion also included an explanation of Pod Networking, elucidating how Containers within a Pod share the same network namespace, enabling communication over localhost.

To enhance participant understanding, the guest speaker conducted a demonstration illustrating how Kubernetes operates, providing participants with a practical insight into its functionalities and workings.

At the conclusion of the session, participants were invited to share their feedback, which predominantly reflected positivity towards the session's content, delivery methodology, and its impact on the subject matter.

Following this, a vote of thanks was delivered, expressing heartfelt gratitude to the principal guest. Additionally, appreciation was extended to the college for its encouragement in organizing and encouraging faculty participation in the development program.

Lastly, gratitude was conveyed to all attendees whose contribution and presence significantly contributed to the success of the event.
