Hi, I’m Surya Gudla, a Senior DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience working with enterprise clients like Citibank, Microsoft, Insight Software, GPC, and MadConnect. Over the years, I’ve worked on designing and managing cloud infrastructure, setting up reliable CI/CD pipelines, and supporting production environments where stability and performance are critical. I mainly work with AWS, Azure, and GCP, and I’m experienced in managing Kubernetes clusters (AKS, EKS, GKE), automating infrastructure using Terraform, and troubleshooting issues directly in live environments. What I usually help with: Setting up, fixing, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) Deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters (AKS, EKS, GKE) Automating infrastructure using Terraform (modular, multi-environment setups) Troubleshooting deployment failures and production issues Monitoring systems and dashboards (logs, metrics, alerts) Improving reliability, performance, and cost optimization Implementing security best practices and fixing vulnerabilities Managing containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes) Supporting MLOps workflows and deployment pipelines Cloud infrastructure management across AWS, Azure, and GCP A few things I’ve worked on: Set up Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) with GPU support for high-performance workloads Built and troubleshooted CI/CD pipelines for multiple production environments Managed Kubernetes clusters handling live production traffic Automated infrastructure provisioning across dev, staging, and production Worked on monitoring setups and alerting for faster issue detection Handled security fixes and vulnerability patching in cloud environments How I work: I focus on keeping things simple, reliable, and easy to manage. If something breaks, I dig into the root cause and fix it properly — not just temporary patches. I’m comfortable working in production environments and handling issues where time and stability really matter. Let’s connect: If you're dealing with deployment issues, scaling problems, CI/CD failures, or need help setting up or improving your cloud environment, feel free to reach out — happy to take a look.
