 About AICTE
History

The beginning of formal technical education in India can be dated back to the mid-19th
century. Major policy initiatives in the pre-independence period included the
appointment of the Indian Universities Commission in 1902, issue of the Indian
Education Policy Resolution in 1904, and the Governor General’s policy statement of
1913 stressing the importance of technical education, the establishment of IISc in
Bangalore, Institute for Sugar, Textile & Leather Technology in Kanpur, N.C.E. in
Bengal in 1905, and industrial schools in several provinces

Initial Set-up

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) was set up in November
1945 as a national-level apex advisory body to conduct a survey on the facilities
available for technical education and to promote development in the country in a
coordinated and integrated manner. And to ensure the same, as stipulated in the
National Policy of Education (1986), AICTE was vested with:
 Statutory authority for planning, formulation, and maintenance of norms
& standards
 Quality assurance through accreditation
 Funding in priority areas, monitoring, and evaluation
 Maintaining parity of certification & awards
 The management of technical education in the country

Role of National Working Group

The Government of India (the Ministry of Human Resource Development) also
constituted a National Working Group to look into the role of AICTE in the
context of proliferation of technical institutions, maintenance of standards, and
other related matters.

Overview of AICTE Internship Program

The most crucial element of internships is that they integrate classroom

knowledge and theory with practical application and skills developed in
professional Or community settings.

Organizations are getting familiar, that work these days is something other than
an approach to win your bread. It is a dedication, an awareness of others’
expectations, and a proprietorship. In order to know how the applicant might
"perform" in various circumstances, they enlist assistants and offer PPOs (Pre-
Placement Offers) to the chosen few who have fulfilled every one of their
necessities.

For getting a quicker and easier way out of such situations, many
companies and students have found AICTE to be of great help. Through its
internship portal, AICTE has provided them with the perfect opportunity to
emerge as a winner in these trying times. The website provides the perfect
platform for students to put forth their skills & desires and for companies to place

CACHING CONTENT

 CACHING CONTENT

 Caching content is a common technique used in web applications and content delivery
to improve performance and reduce latency. In this context, caching refers to the
temporary storage of frequently accessed data or content in a location closer to the
end-user or application, such as in memory or on a fast storage device.

 By doing so, subsequent requests for the same content can be served more quickly
from the cache rather than retrieving it from the original source, such as a web server
or a database. Caching is effective for static assets like images, CSS files, and
JavaScript, as well as dynamic data.

 OVERVIEW OF CACHING

 An overview of caching provides a fundamental understanding of how caching works

and its significance in various computing and networking scenarios. Caching can
occur at different levels, including browser caching, server-side caching, and edge
caching. Browser caching stores content on the user's device, reducing the need to
download resources again when revisiting a website.
 Server-side caching involves caching content on the server, often using technologies
like Memcached or Redis, to reduce the load on backend systems and improve
response times. Edge caching, on the other hand, involves caching content at
geographically distributed edge locations, typically in a content delivery network
(CDN).

 PART 1 : EDGE CACHING

 In Part 1 of edge caching, you might explore the concept of caching content at edge
locations in more depth. Edge caching is a vital aspect of CDNs, which are designed
to deliver web content and applications quickly and reliably to users across the globe.
This part of the topic could cover how CDNs work, including the distribution of
cached content to edge servers strategically located in various regions.

 You may learn how to configure and optimize caching policies within a CDN to
ensure that content is cached efficiently and updated when necessary. Additionally,
Part 1 could delve into the benefits of edge caching, such as improved website load
times, reduced server load.

 PART 2 : EDGE CACHING

 Building on the knowledge from Part 1, Part 2 of edge caching may delve deeper into
advanced caching strategies and CDN capabilities. This could include discussions on
cache eviction policies, cache purging mechanisms, and cache prefetching strategies
to ensure that the most relevant and up-to-date content is served from the edge cache.

 You may also explore how edge caching can be integrated with dynamic content
delivery, such as content personalization and real-time data updates. Part 2 might also
cover best practices for cache invalidation and handling cache misses to ensure that
users consistently receive the freshest content while benefiting from the speed and
efficiency of edge caching.

 PART 1 : CACHING DATABASES

 Caching databases is a strategy used to improve database query performance by

storing frequently accessed data in a fast-access cache layer. In Part 1 of caching
databases, you could learn about different caching mechanisms and technologies, such
as in-memory databases like Redis or Memcached, and how they can be integrated
with your application stack.
 This part might also cover the concept of query result caching, where the results of
database queries are stored in the cache to reduce the load on the database server and
speed up data retrieval.

 PART 2 : CACHING DATABSES

 Continuing from Part 1, Part 2 of caching databases could delve deeper into cache
management and optimization. You might explore caching strategies for handling data
expiration and cache consistency, ensuring that the cached data remains relevant and
accurate. Additionally, this part could discuss the trade-offs involved in caching, such
as cache size management and cache eviction policies.

 It might also cover scenarios where caching might not be suitable, such as for highly
dynamic or transactional data. Understanding how to effectively implement and
manage database caching can significantly improve the performance and scalability of
applications that rely on databases.

BUILDING DECOUPLED ARCHITECTURES

 BUILDING DECOUPLED ARCHITECTURES

 Building decoupled architectures is a fundamental concept in modern software design,

emphasizing the separation of components within a system to reduce
interdependencies. Decoupling is essential for creating scalable, maintainable, and
resilient applications. In this context, "decoupling" means breaking down a monolithic
system into loosely connected components or microservices.

 Decoupling architectures also enhance agility. When components are loosely coupled,
you can update, scale, or replace them independently without affecting the entire
system. This approach is particularly valuable in cloud computing, where services can
be provisioned and deprovisioned dynamically.

 DECOUPLING YOUR ARCHITECTURE

 Decoupling your architecture involves a deliberate design strategy to reduce tight

coupling between different parts of your application. Tight coupling can lead to
various issues, including increased complexity, difficulty in maintenance, and limited
scalability. To decouple an architecture effectively, you need to identify areas of the
system that have strong dependencies and find ways to minimize these connections.

 Common approaches to decoupling include implementing event-driven patterns,

 breaking monolithic applications into microservices, and adopting message-driven
communication. This separation allows components to operate independently,
communicate asynchronously, and handle failures gracefully.

 DECOUPLING WITH AMAZON SQS

 Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a cloud-based message queue

service provided by AWS that enables you to decouple the components of your
distributed systems. It allows you to send, store, and process messages between
different parts of your application without the need for direct communication. SQS
offers two types of message queues: standard and FIFO (First-In-First-Out). Standard
queues provide high throughput, while FIFO queues guarantee the order of messages.

 When you decouple your architecture with Amazon SQS, components can work
independently, reducing the risk of one component overloading another with requests.
It also enhances fault tolerance since messages can be retried if processing fails. SQS
is particularly useful for handling bursty workloads.

 DECOUPLING WITH AMAZON SNS

 Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is another AWS service that
facilitates decoupling within your architecture, but it operates on a publish-subscribe
model. SNS allows components to publish messages to topics, and subscribers
interested in specific topics receive those messages. This decouples the sender and
receiver, as the sender doesn't need to know the identity of the subscribers, and
multiple subscribers can consume the same message independently.

 Decoupling with Amazon SNS enables building scalable and flexible systems. It
simplifies the implementation of event-driven architectures, where components react
to events generated by other parts of the system or external sources. By using SNS,
you can easily integrate new components into your architecture without modifying
existing ones.

 SENDING MESSAGES BETWEEN CLOUD APPLICATIONS AND

ON – PREMISES WITH AMAZON MQ

 Amazon MQ is a managed message broker service in AWS that supports multiple

messaging protocols such as MQTT, AMQP, and STOMP. It allows you to send and
receive messages between cloud-based applications and on-premises systems while
ensuring message durability, high availability, and security.
 Decoupling on-premises and cloud-based applications with Amazon MQ is essential
for hybrid cloud scenarios or when migrating from on-premises environments to the
cloud. It provides a reliable and scalable messaging backbone for connecting
distributed systems regardless of their location. This decoupling strategy ensures that
your applications can communicate seamlessly, exchange data, and trigger actions
across different environments.

BUILDING MICROSERVICES AND SERVERLESS

ARCHITECTURES

 BUILDING MICROSERVICES AND SERVERLESS

ARCHITECTURES

 Building microservices and serverless architectures represents a modern approach to

designing and deploying software applications that prioritize modularity, scalability,
and cost-efficiency. Microservices involve breaking down complex applications into
smaller, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled separately.
Serverless architectures, on the other hand, leverage cloud services to manage
infrastructure.

 In such architectures, microservices and serverless components often work hand in

hand. Microservices may be implemented using serverless technologies, and
serverless functions can serve as building blocks for microservices. Together, they
provide the agility to respond to changing requirements, cost optimization.

 INTRODUCING MICROSERVICES

 Microservices are a software architectural style where an application is composed of

loosely coupled, independent services, each responsible for a specific business
capability or function. This approach contrasts with monolithic applications, where all
functionality is tightly integrated. In a microservices architecture, services
communicate with each other through APIs or messaging systems. This decoupling
 allows for more straightforward development, maintenance, and scalability of
individual services.

 Microservices offer several advantages, such as improved agility, as teams can

develop and deploy services independently. Additionally, microservices promote fault
isolation, where the failure of one service does not necessarily affect others. Each
service can use the most appropriate technology stack for its specific requirements,
enabling greater flexibility.

 PART 1 : BUILDING MICROSERVICES APPLICATIONS

WITH AWS CONTAINER SERVICES

 Part 1 of building microservice applications with AWS Container Services

typically focuses on the foundational aspects of using containers to
implement microservices. Containers, such as Docker, provide a
lightweight and portable way to package applications and their
dependencies. AWS offers container orchestration services like Amazon
ECS (Elastic Container Service) and Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes
Service) that simplify the deployment and management of containerized
microservices.

 In this part, you would likely learn how to create Docker containers for
microservices, define tasks and services with ECS or EKS, and set up load
balancing and auto-scaling to ensure high availability and scalability.

 PART 2 : BUILDING MICROSERVICES APPLICATIONS

WITH AWS CONTAINER SERVICES

 Part 2 of building microservice applications with AWS Container Services

typically delves deeper into advanced topics and strategies for
microservices in containerized environments. This phase often covers
container security, including best practices for securing Docker containers,
managing secrets, and implementing network policies to isolate services.
 Part 2 may also explore advanced topics such as service discovery, where
microservices can dynamically locate and communicate with one another.
It might introduce you to tools like AWS App Mesh or AWS Cloud Map
for service discovery and communication between microservices.

 EXTENDING SERVERLESS ARCHITECTURES WITH

AMAZON API GATEWAY

 Extending serverless architectures with Amazon API Gateway focuses on

how to create and manage RESTful APIs in conjunction with AWS
Lambda, a serverless compute service. Amazon API Gateway allows
developers to create APIs that can trigger Lambda functions, enabling the
creation of serverless applications that respond to HTTP requests.

 In this context, serverless often refers to the idea that developers don't need
to manage server infrastructure; AWS takes care of scaling and
provisioning resources based on incoming requests. Part of this extension
involves creating API endpoints, defining routes, and configuring security
and authentication options to protect APIs.

 ORCHESTRATING MICROSERVICES WITH AWS STEP

FUNCTIONS

 Orchestrating microservices with AWS Step Functions involves the

coordination and sequencing of microservices in complex workflows.
Microservices often work together to perform tasks, and Step Functions
provide a visual way to design, visualize, and manage the flow of these
tasks. It's a serverless service that simplifies the creation of applications
with multiple steps and state transitions.

 AWS Step Functions enable developers to define state machines using a

JSON-based definition language, specifying the order and conditions for
invoking microservices or other AWS services. This orchestrator ensures
 that the microservices interact in the correct sequence and handle errors
gracefully, making it easier to build resilient and scalable applications.

PLANNING FOR DISASTER

 PLANNING FOR DISASTER

 Disaster planning is a critical aspect of risk management for businesses and

organizations. It involves developing strategies and processes to mitigate the impact
of unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or system failures, on an
organization's operations and data. The goal of disaster planning is to ensure business
continuity, minimize downtime, protect valuable assets, and safeguard the reputation
of the organization.

 Effective disaster planning begins with a comprehensive risk assessment to identify

potential threats and vulnerabilities. Once these risks are identified, organizations can
develop and implement disaster recovery plans, backup and data retention strategies,
and crisis communication protocols.

 PART 1 : DISASTER PLANNING STRATEGIES

 In the context of disaster planning strategies, Part 1 typically focuses on the initial
stages of preparedness. This might involve conducting a risk assessment to determine
the specific threats that could impact an organization, evaluating the criticality of
systems and data, and setting recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point
objectives (RPO). RTO defines the maximum acceptable downtime, while RPO
determines the allowable data loss in case of a disaster.

 Part 1 of disaster planning also includes creating a disaster recovery team, assigning
roles and responsibilities, and establishing a communication plan to ensure that
everyone is informed and knows what to do in case of an emergency. Additionally,
organizations often decide on strategies for data backup and redundancy, whether
through on-site or off-site data centers, cloud-based solutions, or a combination of
 these.

 PART 2 : DISASTER PLANNING STRATEGIES

 Part 2 of disaster planning strategies typically delves deeper into the implementation
of specific measures to mitigate risk and improve resilience. This phase involves the
development and deployment of disaster recovery and business continuity plans,
including identifying critical systems, applications, and data, and establishing
priorities for their recovery.

 In this stage, organizations also create detailed incident response plans, specifying
actions to be taken in various disaster scenarios. This may include procedures for
evacuations, emergency communication, and damage assessment. Part 2 often
involves testing and validation of these plans through simulations and drills to ensure
that employees are familiar with their roles and that systems and processes work as
intended.

 PART 3 : DISASTER PLANNING STRATEGIES

 Part 3 of disaster planning strategies typically focuses on ongoing management and

improvement of the disaster recovery and business continuity efforts. This phase
involves continuous monitoring and assessment of the organization's risk profile,
adapting strategies as new threats emerge or circumstances change.

 In this stage, organizations often conduct regular audits and reviews of their disaster
plans, making necessary updates and improvements based on lessons learned from
past incidents or exercises. It's also crucial to ensure that employees receive ongoing
training to keep their disaster response skills up to date. Part 3 may involve engaging
with external partners, such as insurance providers and disaster recovery service
providers, to further enhance the organization's readiness.

 PART 1 : DISASTER RECOVERY PATTERNS

 Disaster recovery patterns are systematic approaches to ensuring the availability and
continuity of critical systems and data in the event of a disaster or disruptive incident.
Part 1 of disaster recovery patterns often focuses on understanding the foundational
principles and strategies that underpin effective disaster recovery. These patterns
encompass various techniques and methodologies designed to minimize downtime,
data loss, and business disruption.

 Common disaster recovery patterns include backup and restore, where data is
periodically backed up and can be restored in case of data loss or system failure.
Another pattern is cold standby, where a secondary system is kept offline but can be
 quickly brought online in case of a disaster. Warm standby involves maintaining a
partially configured secondary system that requires less time to become operational.

 PART 2 : DISASTER RECOVERY PATTERNS

 Part 2 of disaster recovery patterns typically goes into more detail about specific
patterns and strategies for disaster recovery. This phase often explores advanced
techniques and technologies to enhance an organization's resilience and minimize the
impact of disasters on its operations.

 One common pattern discussed in Part 2 is the use of virtualization and cloud-based
disaster recovery solutions. These patterns leverage virtualization technologies to
create portable, easily recoverable images of entire systems or data centers. Cloud-
based disaster recovery provides scalability, cost-efficiency, and the ability to quickly
spin up resources in a different geographical region.
