Public Cloud Promises
“Compute will be as normal as power from the outlet.”
“Public cloud enables companies to focus more on their core business.”
These are just a few of the promises made in the early days of the public cloud—and they have been delivered!
Public Cloud Caveats
While the public cloud offers many benefits, it also comes with potential caveats. These include security risks, compliance and data sovereignty concerns, vendor lock-in, performance and cost. In some cases, the shared responsibility model can be difficult to align with an organization’s specific compliance and regulatory requirements. As with any off-the-shelf service, there are inherent limitations in terms of customizability. Sometimes a private cloud can be a better fit; with a bit more work you are still able to achieve comparable results, at least in terms of automation and control.
My Background
My career as a hosting and technical application engineer introduced me to both private and public cloud technologies early on. I have primarily worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure and i have hands-on experience with a broad range of services within these ecosystems.
I have supported diverse workloads, from high-traffic public websites to complex backend data-processing services and databases. I also hold relevant professional certifications.
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure changes should be predictable, repeatable, auditable, and testable. For this reason, I strongly prefer using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to design, build, and manage cloud environments.
What I Can Do for You
- Cloud solution architecture and engineering
- Designing and building secure, compliant, and highly available cloud platforms
- Auditing cloud environments and implementing security best practices to reduce the attack surface of applications and infrastructure
- Leading and executing proofs of concept or proofs of value to assess whether a solution meets your team’s or organization’s needs
- Performing cost analysis and implementing cloud cost optimizations
- Developing reusable Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) modules for organizational use
- Setting up application environments using Infrastructure as Code
- Delivering complete end-to-end Kubernetes platforms, including guardrails and in-cluster components
- Elevating team capabilities through knowledge sharing and hands-on workshops
