Get to Know the Winners of the Alibaba Cloud Competition

This article was created in partnership with Alibaba Cloud. Thank you for supporting the partners who make SitePoint possible.

As you may have seen, we’ve recently partnered with Alibaba Cloud to find the best tips and tutorials for making the most out of Alibaba Cloud Services, to celebrate the launch of our new Alibaba Cloud Services community forum (maybe we’re being biased here, but our SitePoint Community really is a great place to connect with other cool people, to share ideas, knowledge, ask questions and have a chat - we really encourage you to go check it out!)

During the competition we received some really great entries about a plethora of uses, ranging from deploying a VPN on Alibaba Cloud to creating your own forum with Alibaba Cloud ECS. We had a tough time choosing the best ones!

But alas, the winners had to be chosen and so our judges locked themselves into a windowless room for days on end to debate, argue, fight and deliberate on the entries, only emerging after they had decided on three winners (and probably because they got hungry).

So the winners of the competition were decided, and today we thought it’d be nice to introduce you to the people behind the tutorials.

In first place - András Magyar with his very well written and informative tutorial: Deploy a Laravel application to Alibaba Cloud Container Service using Docker. András is a student from Hungary who is interested in software development. Some recent, cool projects he’s worked on include developing a CMS software for a local news portal https://dbhir.hu/.

His winning entry was actually his first time trying out Alibaba Cloud and he seems pretty pleased with the experience: "I used containers on other cloud providers before, but on Alibaba Cloud, it was the first time and I am very satisfied with it… I think containers are very effective and flexible solutions, Alibaba Cloud offers great services that help developers who work with containers. I want to learn more about containers and gain more experience. I hope my article will be useful for others."
