Additional Comments:
Responsibilities: Infrastructure as Code & Cloud Automation Design and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Ansible (or equivalent) for Azure and on-prem environments. Automate provisioning and configuration management for Azure PaaS services (App Services, AKS, Storage, Key Vault, etc.). Manage Hybrid Cloud Deployments ensuring seamless integration between Azure and on-prem alternatives. CI/CD Pipeline Development (Without Azure DevOps) Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Jenkins Automate containerized application deployment with Docker, Kubernetes (AKS). Implement canary deployments, blue-green deployments, and rollback strategies for production releases. Cloud Security & Secrets Management Implement role-based access control (RBAC) and IAM policies across cloud and on-prem environments. Secure API and infrastructure secrets using HashiCorp Vault (instead of Azure Key Vault). Monitoring, Logging & Observability Set up observability frameworks using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack (ElasticSearch, Kibana, Logstash). Implement centralized logging & ing across cloud and on-premises environments. Required Skills & Experience - Cloud & DevOps: Azure PaaS Services – App Services, AKS, Azure Functions, Blob Storage, Redis Cache Kubernetes & Containerization – Hands-on with AKS, K8s, Docker CI/CD Tools – GitHub Actions, Jenkins Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Terraform - Security & Compliance: IAM & RBAC – Experience with Active Directory, Keycloak, LDAP Secrets Management – HashiCorp Vault / Azure Key Vault Cloud Security Best Practices – API security, network security, encryption - Networking & Hybrid Cloud: Azure Networking – VNets, Private Endpoints, Load Balancers, API Gateway, Nginx Hybrid Cloud Connectivity – VPN Gateway, Private Peering - Monitoring & Performance Optimization: Observability tools - Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack,Azure Monitor & App Insights Logging & ing – ElasticSearch, Logstash, OpenTelemetry,Log Analytics
