  • Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or ArgoCD.
  • Support application modernization projects including containerizing legacy applications, implementing microservices patterns, and migrating to container-based architectures.
  • Implement GitOps practices using ArgoCD, Flux, or equivalent tools for declarative infrastructure and application deployment.
  • Configure and manage service mesh (AWS App Mesh, Istio), ingress controllers, and API gateways for containerized workloads.
  • Implement container security best practices including image scanning, runtime security, network policies, pod security standards, and secrets management.
  • Design and implement monitoring and observability for containerized workloads using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch Container Insights, and distributed tracing.
  • Implement infrastructure as code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK for container platform infrastructure.
  • Automate operational tasks including scaling, self-healing, log aggregation, and backup for container workloads.
  • Support serverless application patterns using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, and EventBridge where applicable.
  • Collaborate with development teams and Solutions Architects on application architecture decisions for containerized deployments.
