Alan Janis is a Cloud Architect IV with nine years of hands-on experience designing and automating private cloud and distributed storage platforms, currently shaping internal OpenStack and Kubernetes environments at Charter Communications. He has a strong track record in large-scale storage migrations, monitoring, and full-stack automation from roles at Photobucket, Yahoo!, and World Wide Technology. Alan excels at building deployment templates, architectural standards, and self-healing operations using tools like Salt, Icinga, and OpenStack, and has driven hybrid cloud re-architectures involving AWS, KVM, and Percona XtraDB. He combines deep systems-level knowledge—having managed petabytes of NetApp storage and physical-to-virtual initiatives—with pragmatic automation to reduce operational toil. Based in Denver, he brings a blend of consulting experience and production ownership that thrives on performance tuning, metrics-driven reliability, and data-ingest scale challenges. An operator at heart, he often surfaces inventive tooling (e.g., storage balancing and rapid deploy systems) to solve thorny infrastructure bottlenecks.
