This Project will be on building a basic cloud-based Maintenance Service System that could be implemented in a university/college/company-related environment. This System is intended to provide users on campus (students/staff/etc) the ability to submit maintenance requests through a web application rather than submitting them manually via email, the admin desk/forms, which might be time-consuming and slow.
Users can request maintenance requests through this system regarding electrical/mechanical/broken equipment/facility issues or any maintenance-related issues within the campus/environment. Users should be able to fill out a submission form if they notice a problem, such as a broken light or AC unit, in a place where they stay or in a classroom. These submissions would then be displayed on the system for maintenance workers to see. A simple page will be used where all submitted issues can be viewed.
To complete this project, Microsoft Azure will be used to create a virtual machine (VM), as it allows web hosting on a cloud-based server using a public IP address and the use of an NGINX web server, which helps host a website consisting of basic HTML and CSS. The website will include a form to submit issues and a page to view submitted issues. The system will use a basic HTML form to see user input, such as the type of problems and area, which will be displayed in a structured format for maintenance staff to review.
This will be a beginner project, and there will not be many features, such as a database or automatic notifiers. This project is still beneficial because it can simulate how something like this would work in the real world and introduces the concepts of how hosting functions could work. This project will help us learn more about how cloud services are used in real-world scenarios and provide hands-on experience with hosting a server, deploying a website, and working with cloud services.
MIT license is used for this project because it is straightforward and is commonly used. It allows users to use, modify and distribute the project with minimum restrictions and gives the original copyright notice. Since this was made mainly for students’ project purpose, the main focus is on learning and sharing knowledge rather than trying to make money off it. It allows for collaboration and improvements down the line. Someone else can take this system and improve it if they so desire. The license is also easy to read and does not have big legal requirements. This project is just a simple cloud-based prototype of a maintenance service.
