Educational IT Domain and Cloud Labs Deployment

Educational IT Domain and Cloud Labs Deployment-Equal Opportunities For All. Explore the Deployment Model. Learn with Tech Innovations.

Effective learning domains can be established in the education sector using cloud computing infrastructure. The key areas of which will be high power computing, simulation and virtual technology based cloud labs, SDK and DevOps platforms, cloud storage, learning management systems, apps and web hosting platforms, streaming platform, eLibrary etc.
Domain resources can be used by any authorized user, including teachers and students, through role-based access control. By internet from anywhere at anytime.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

IAM ensures that the right people and job roles in your organization (identities) can access the tools they need to do their jobs. Identity management and access systems enable your organization to manage employee apps without logging into each app as an administrator. Identity and access management systems enable your organization to manage a range of identities including people, software, and hardware like robotics and IoT devices.

I utilized the following platforms for this deployment:

Cloud Based Domain and AD
On-Prem Domain and AD
Hybrid Domain and AD
Multi-tenant AD
Multivendor Trust Relationship

Hybrid Azure AD — Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Computing

Various types of experiments and testing in system development require high power computing resources, our everyday computing devices are not efficient in this regard. In this case we can get demand based high power computing facility by using cloud computing. Which is cost effective and highly effective. Following resources are used for computing.

Virtual Machines (VMs)-Fully Manageable Computing Environment with IaaS Infrastucture
Virtual Desktop (RDS Based Platforms)-Virtualize both Desktop and Apps with multi-session environment
Virtual PCs-Personal Computing with Pre-deployed OS

Remote Workspace with Azure Virtual Desktop

Apps Development and DevOps Platforms

A software development kit (SDK) is a set of software tools and programs provided by hardware and software vendors that developers can use to build applications for specific platforms. SDKs help developers easily integrate their apps with a vendor’s services.

DevOps is a methodology in the software development and IT industry. Used as a set of practices and tools, DevOps integrates and automates the work of software development and IT operations as a means for improving and shortening the systems development life cycle.

I focused the following platforms for this deployment:

Private Online SDK
Docker
Kubernetes
Cloud DevOps Platforms like Azure DevOps

Software Development Labs

Cloud Hosted Microsoft Visual Studio Profeesional

Storage and Database

A data store is a repository for persistently storing and managing collections of data which include not just repositories like databases, but also simpler store types such as simple files, emails, etc. A database is a series of bytes that is managed by a database management system (DBMS).

Blobs and Files
NoSQL
SQL

Azure Storage Explorer — Storage Explorer

Cloud Based Simulation Labs

Is an approach that provides a new way to utilize computing resources in the simulation, which means infrastructure, platform, and software for learners, researchers and scientists that they use as a service.

Major Deployment Areas:

Physics Lab
Chemestry Lab
Electonic Lab
Electrical Lab
Automation Lab
ICT Labs
- General IT Lab
- DevOps
- Networking
- Systems Engineering
- IoT
- AI and Machine Learning
- Data Engineering
- Web Development

Apps and Web Hosting Platforms

A hosted application is any piece of software that is running on another provider’s infrastructure rather than on-premise. These hosted applications are accessed over the internet and have a web- based user interface to be able to interact with. An example of a hosted application is WordPress.

Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and others platforms can be used for Apps and Web hosting.

E-Library

An electronic library has, not only text data but also sound, graphics, and motion video, in the form of digital data. Because all data is digitized, various kinds of data can be merged easily and a high level of retrieval and other processing can be done.

Video Streaming Platform

Own platform for video streaming in institutional sector is more secure and able to meet institutional needs.

Deployment Assistance and Training

Interested educational institutions will be provided necessary support in implementing IT infrastructure and cloud labs. User manual and online training will be provided for post-implementation operation and maintenance.
