Cloud Infrastructure Automation and Security Enhancement

I worked on the automation and security improvement of a hybrid cloud infrastructure, spanning on-premises VMWare, GCP, and Equinix bare metal environments.

Tools & Technologies:

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Ansible, Packer

Configuration Management: Chef, Vault

Automation Scripting: Bash, Python/Django REST, Fabric

Security: HashiCorp Vault for secrets management, Chef for server hardening

Cloud Providers: GCP, AWS, Equinix bare metal

Virtualization: VMWare vCenter

Implementation:

Automated provisioning and configuration of cloud and on-premises resources, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of misconfigurations.

Implemented secure secrets management using HashiCorp Vault to ensure sensitive data integrity.

Established robust monitoring solutions with Nagios, New Relic, and Datadog, creating customized dashboards and alerts.

Managed Linux servers and security policies across both cloud and on-prem environments, utilizing Ansible and Chef for consistency and compliance.
