Containerization & Orchestration

Building Cloud-Native Applications

My expertise in container technology is foundational to my DevOps and cloud engineering capabilities. I am highly proficient in using Docker to package applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated containers. This ensures consistency across development, testing, and production environments.

Orchestration at Scale

I have extensive, hands-on experience managing containerized applications at scale using Kubernetes. In the DJPConnect project, I was deeply involved in the architecture and operation of a large-scale microservices platform running on an OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster.

My responsibilities included:

• Writing and maintaining Kubernetes manifests (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Ingress).
• Managing the container lifecycle and ensuring high availability.
• Implementing logging, monitoring, and alerting for the cluster and its applications.
• Troubleshooting and resolving issues within the Kubernetes environment.

Key Competencies

• Containerization: Writing efficient and secure Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, and optimizing container images.
• Orchestration: Kubernetes (K8s) and OpenShift Container Platform (OCP).
• Architecture: Designing and implementing microservices architectures on Kubernetes.
• Service Mesh: Familiarity with concepts of service mesh technologies like Istio for managing service-to-service communication.
• Package Management: Using Helm to manage Kubernetes applications.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrating Docker and Kubernetes into automated CI/CD pipelines for seamless application delivery.
