Cloud Hackathons

CloudHackathon

What is CloudHackathon?

CloudHackathon is a tool for practical acquisition and verification of students’ knowledge. This platform allows you to gain knowledge in the field of Cloud technology through teamwork in the cloud environments of the three largest providers - Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform.

CloudHackathon is a scheduled event, usually lasting from 2 to 8 hours, and the competition takes place between teams made up of usually 2 to 4 people. Participants work on temporary environments created and deleted for the challenges and on the vendor console (Azure/AWS/GCP). The entire event is supervised by a moderator, acting as a mentor, who oversees the event and helps teams with any problems with challenges available in the challenge catalogue or those defined by the administrator depending on individual needs, resulting in an unlimited number of hackathons.
