DevOps & Cloud Engineering — AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD

Most cloud bills and most 3 AM pages come from the same place: infrastructure that grew by hand instead of by design. I build AWS and Azure environments as code, with CI/CD that actually gates bad deploys and observability that tells you which service broke before a customer does.

Who this is for

  • Teams whose AWS bill is growing faster than their traffic and nobody can say exactly why.
  • Startups who shipped to production by clicking in the console and now need it reproducible.
  • Product teams without a dedicated SRE who need deploys, monitoring, and on-call to stop being a coin flip.

What I deliver

Cloud architecture & cost control

Right-sized compute (EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda), S3 lifecycle policies, RDS/Aurora tuning, Savings Plans and Spot — typically 40-70% off an unoptimized bill.

Containers & orchestration

Dockerfiles that build fast and stay small, ECS/Fargate or Kubernetes (EKS, k3s) with sane resource limits, health checks, and rolling or blue-green deploys.

CI/CD pipelines

GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with real test gates, preview environments per PR, migration safety, and zero-downtime releases with a tested rollback path.

Observability & incident response

OpenTelemetry traces, Prometheus/Grafana or CloudWatch dashboards, actionable alerts instead of noise, plus runbooks so the next outage is a checklist rather than an investigation.

Infrastructure as code

Terraform or AWS CDK for every production resource, with remote state, per-environment workspaces, and plan-review in CI.

How we'll work together

01

Audit

Review the current infra, bill, and deploy path. You get a written findings doc either way. Free 30-min call first.

02

Plan

Prioritise by risk and cost: what to fix now, what to migrate, what to leave alone.

03

Implement

Land changes incrementally behind IaC, never a big-bang migration of a live system.

04

Hand off

Dashboards, alerts, runbooks, and a walkthrough so your team owns it after I leave.

FAQ

How much does a DevOps engagement cost?

A focused audit with a written remediation plan: ₹25,000-₹60,000. Full CI/CD plus IaC migration for one product: ₹1,00,000-₹3,00,000. Ongoing retainer for on-call and infra work is billed monthly.

Can you cut our AWS bill without hurting performance?

Usually yes, and the first pass rarely touches performance at all — untagged idle resources, oversized instances, unattached volumes, missing S3 lifecycle rules, and non-prod environments running 24/7 are where most of the waste sits.

Do we need Kubernetes?

Most teams under roughly ten services do not. ECS/Fargate or a single container service plus managed Postgres covers it with far less operational overhead. I will tell you when Kubernetes is genuinely the right call and when it is not.

Can you work with our existing cloud setup?

Yes. Most of this work is on running production systems, not greenfield. Changes land incrementally behind Terraform so each step is reviewable and reversible.
