Summary
🤩
RockstarAric Gardner is a Principal DevOps engineer based in Montreal with 13 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure and CI/CD platforms. He specializes in Kubernetes, Terraform, configuration management (Puppet, Ansible), and automation in multi-cloud and OpenStack environments, with deep familiarity across containers, virtualization, and HA systems. At The Linux Foundation he drove developer self-service and repo-driven automation—authoring tooling for Gerrit/GitHub, Jenkins-as-code, and Kubernetes Helm charts—bridging release engineering and developer workflows. Known for pragmatic migrations from bare metal to dynamic provisioning and for automating repeatable operations, he blends systems-level troubleshooting with software engineering practices. Colleagues would note his penchant for turning infrastructure quirks into reproducible code, and his wry question “Are we still calling it devops?” hints at a thoughtful, evolution-minded approach.
