International webinar held on AI
An international Webinar Conference titled — Empowering the next generation: A deep dive into AI and Azure Cloud DevOps Technologies — was organised by the Anantha Lakshmi Institute of Technology & Sciences (ALTS).
The virtual event attracted over 200 students from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University – Anantapur (JNTUA) and various other academic, industrial and international participants. United Kingdom based senior consultant Jaganmohan Naidu highlighted the practical applications and transformational impact of Artificial Intelligence and Azure Cloud DevOps in the modern tech landscape during the conference.
The webinar focused on key industry-relevant topics, including Cloud Infrastructure Automation, CI/CD Pipelines (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment), tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, Git, Docker, and Kubernetes and Automation using Bash scripting, ALTS principal B. Ramesh Babu said in a release.
A live demonstration of an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline was also showcased, offering students real-time insights into software deployment processes. The session was aimed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry practices, equipping students with skills critical to the digital transformation era.

Students fume as B Pharm course at JNTUH started without approval of Pharmacy Council of India
Hyderabad: Not just the Integrated Dual Degree Programmes (IDP), but even the B Pharmacy course at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH), has started without getting the required approvals. B Pharmacy began at the campus college in 2024-25 with an intake of 66 seats. The varsity officials said they could not apply to the Pharmacy Council of India's (PCI) for approval last year as the application window was closed by the time they got the state's nod to start the course. 'We are trying to get the course ratified from the PCI,' said Venkata Narasimha Reddy Guduru, principal, JNTUH University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

'About a week back, we got approval for the coming academic year. Based on that, we are trying to get the course ratified for the previous year,' he added. Now, as the first year has already started and even exams have been conducted, the varsity has to either shift students to some recognised college or get the course ratified at any cost. In fact, officials have already shifted the pharmacy campus to Sultanpur, which already has approval from PCI, for the academic year 2025-26. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không?

The varsity should not have started the course without getting PCI approval. Initially, they said it was approved by the executive council. But later, even that turned out to be false,' said J Dileep from the JNTUH Student Protection Forum He said the varsity is overconfident of getting permission but they should remember that even for IDP they couldn't and had to shut it down.

The serverless shift: Scaling smarter with fewer resources and no infrastructure bloat
In today's fast-paced digital era, agility, scalability, and efficiency have become critical imperatives rather than luxuries. Serverless computing, which eliminates infrastructure management and allows developers to focus purely on delivering value, is emerging as a powerful response to these demands. At the forefront of this transformation is Anil Kumar Manukonda, a cloud innovator who has been instrumental in architecting high-performance, cost-effective solutions for modern enterprises. 'Serverless is more than a trend—it's a mindset shift,' says Anil. 'It empowers teams to build smarter, faster, and with fewer operational burdens. The true value lies in accelerating innovation without compromising reliability or security.' Anil's pioneering work includes the design of a mission-critical, event-driven data ingestion pipeline using AWS Lambda, Kinesis Data Streams, and DynamoDB. The system now processes over 200,000 events per hour with sub-250ms latency—a dramatic improvement over the EC2-based batch system it replaced. 'We achieved a 50% reduction in processing time while completely eliminating downtime,' he explains. By implementing provisioned concurrency, cold-start latency dropped by 90%, ensuring consistent performance even during peak traffic. His leadership extended to transforming a legacy reporting microservice into a serverless REST API with API Gateway, Lambda, and RDS Proxy. The result? A 300% increase in throughput and $120,000 in annual cloud savings. Anil also introduced a centralized governance framework using Terraform modules and AWS Config Rules, enabling consistent, compliant deployments across five critical business applications. The impacts are measurable: 30% higher developer productivity, 80% fewer budget overruns, and a 40% cut in incident response time—thanks in part to automation using SNS and DynamoDB streams. One of his most ambitious projects involved rearchitecting an order processing system with SQS and Lambda, scaling it to 250,000 orders per day and reducing fulfillment times from five minutes to just 30 seconds. 'Serverless lets you scale from zero to massive workloads with grace,' Anil notes. 'But success also means solving new challenges—latency, state management, and security.' His solutions include hybrid warming strategies and IAM automation across multi-account AWS environments. Anil's contributions extend beyond the workplace. He's the author of influential publications like Designing Highly Available and Scalable Web Applications Using Azure Functions and Automating Infrastructure Provisioning Using Terraform. He sees the future of cloud computing in AI-driven serverless functions, edge-native services, and function mesh architectures. 'Serverless is no longer just about cost savings,' he emphasizes. 'It's about enabling resilient, intelligent, and scalable architectures that redefine what's possible.' Through vision, execution, and thought leadership, Anil Kumar Manukonda is not just navigating the serverless frontier—he's charting its course.
