Profile: https://flows.cv/aravindmallarapu

I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) and DevOps Architect with over 7 years of experience in designing, automating, and scaling mission-critical cloud infrastructure. My expertise lies at the intersection of high availability and developer productivity, specifically across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.

Throughout my career at Tech Mahindra, I have specialized in transforming legacy workflows into modern, containerized ecosystems. I am passionate about "Infrastructure as Code" and building self-healing systems that allow engineering teams to ship code faster and more securely.

Core Technical Competencies:

Cloud Ecosystems: AWS (S3, Lambda, CloudWatch), Azure (VNET, App Services, SQL DB), GCP (GCS, Cloud Storage).

Orchestration & Containers: Expert-level management of Kubernetes (GKE, AKS, EKS) and Docker.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, and CloudFormation.

CI/CD & Automation: Jenkins, Git, GCP Cloud Build, Azure DevOps, and GitLab CI.

Observability & SRE: Implementing full-stack monitoring using Dynatrace, Datadog, Prometheus, and Grafana to reduce MTTR and improve system reliability.

Scripting: Advanced automation using Python, Bash, and Shell scripting.



I thrive on solving complex architectural challenges and am always looking for ways to optimize cloud spend while increasing performance.
