Kubernetes Infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code
Bootstrapped Kubernetes on a private cloud using Rancher and Argo CD for more than 15 Kubernetes clusters. I also created and managed a few AKS clusters. I managed everything with Terraform and taught dev teams to use Terraform workflow.
Continuous Deployment Pipeline with Azure DevOps
Developed a complete out-of-the-box solution of a continuous deployment pipeline that builds and deploys a secure, highly available, and production-ready system based on Azure Kubernetes Service. Rolling upgrade and blue and green deployment methods with one-click automatic deployment.
Set up the Azure DevOps build pipelines and release pipelines to get triggered on developer commits and build the required Docker images and push the same to Azure container registry with appropriate tags, generate the artifacts, and push them as part of rolling updates in release pipelines.
