Hey, I am Munish

production Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering

I am an Associate DevOps Engineer at Solytics Partners with hands-on experience in production Kubernetes, AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, security, and platform troubleshooting.

With strong technical skills in Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), I approach infrastructure challenges with a focus on automation, scalability, and security. I've reduced Docker image sizes by 35% and build times by 75% through multi-stage builds and optimization techniques.

I am based in India and write about DevOps, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, production troubleshooting, and cloud-native systems on this blog.
