The First session consisted of registration to the Alibaba Cloud service. We also came to know about the market value of Alibaba and all the factors which decide the market face of the industry. Throughout the session we compared various cloud services and there certification exams which could open various job opportunities for us. In the Second session, which was the last session, the experts took some practical sessions and explained the services provided by Alibaba Cloud. Due to lack of time and so many services yet to be discovered, a series of webinar was promised by the experts. Overall, the event was a grand success. The efforts made by the experts were clearly reflected on the faces of the students. A wave of awareness as well as enthusiasm regarding the topics covered was seen among the students. The response of the participants was tremendous and so their enthusiasm till the last session.
