- Integrate security and compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).
Containerization & Orchestration:
- Design and manage containerized environments using Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes (EKS) or Amazon ECS.
- Optimize container orchestration for scalability, resilience, and performance.
Monitoring & Logging:
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and log management using AWS CloudWatch, ELK stack, Prometheus, Grafana or similar tools.
- Implement proactive monitoring of system performance, application health, and AWS resource utilization.
Automation & Scripting:
- Automate repetitive tasks using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and AWS Lambda for serverless automation.
- Develop tools and scripts to improve automation and reduce manual intervention in deployments and infrastructure management.
Security & Compliance:
- Ensure security best practices in AWS environments, including IAM roles, security groups, encryption (KMS), and secure networking (VPC, VPN).
- Implement automated compliance monitoring and audits using AWS Config, AWS Trusted Advisor, and other tools.
Cost Optimization:
- Monitor and optimize cloud usage and costs using AWS Cost Explorer and other cloud cost management tools.
- Recommend architectural improvements to reduce cloud expenses while maintaining high performance and reliability.
Collaboration & Support:
- Work closely with development, operations, and QA teams to ensure smooth and efficient software delivery pipelines.
- Provide DevOps best practices and technical guidance to teams in terms of automation, deployment, and scaling.
