Summary
Arun Kumar is a cloud and infrastructure specialist with 13 years’ experience designing, deploying and automating large-scale OpenStack, Kubernetes and Ceph-based private cloud platforms across APAC and Europe. Currently a Technical Specialist on HPE’s Global COE team in Kuala Lumpur, he architects GitOps-driven CI/CD, disaster recovery and air-gapped security workflows using Argo, GitLab, Vault and Trivy. His background spans hands-on OpenStack core services, MAAS/Juju provisioning, performance tuning (SR-IOV, CPU pinning) and storage integrations with Dell PowerStore and Ceph for demanding fintech and telecom workloads. Arun blends deep operational L3 expertise with automation at scale—building DR/fallback runbooks, automated CVE updates and version upgrades via Argo workflows—so infrastructure changes become repeatable and auditable. He also has experience in cybersecurity tooling, EDR/packet-capture POCs and has run cross-functional projects that bridge SRE, network and security teams. Colleagues value his pragmatic approach to complex distributed storage and multi-datacenter recovery challenges, plus his rare combination of low-level Linux/embedded roots and modern cloud-native practice.
