Mitz Amano is a Systems Reliability Engineer based in Austin with 11 years of engineering experience and 3+ years focused on Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem. He brings deep expertise in Linux distributions, kernel tuning, packaging (rpm, deb), and platform utilities, backed by a long history of open source engagement and technical writing. At Cloudflare he serves as an SRE and Vault SME, contributing Vault plugin development and Kubernetes/Vault integrations, and previously helped build Kubernetes, etcd, and container tooling at Cybozu. His background includes leading Linux distribution development and CI efforts across APAC, plus hands-on SRE work with CoreOS, Ansible, and bare-metal Kubernetes. Beyond operational excellence, he combines product-focused leadership from director roles with low-level engineering chops—an unusual mix that helps him both design resilient systems and implement the kernel- and packaging-level fixes that keep them running.
