Summary
Pawan Kumar is a DevOps Architect with over 15 years of hands-on experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms across AWS, GCP and Azure, and nine years in senior DevOps roles. He specializes in Kubernetes and container ecosystems (EKS/GKE/AKS, Helm, Istio) and has repeatedly built end-to-end observability, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible, Jenkins and ArgoCD. Pawan has led migrations from bare-metal to managed Kubernetes, implemented secure ingress and WAF integrations, and operationalized stateful services like Kafka, Cassandra and Aerospike on Kubernetes. He holds a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) credential and a history of automating one-click environment provisioning and backup/restore workflows (Velero) for production systems. Based in Gurugram, he blends deep Linux/sysadmin roots with modern cloud patterns, often bringing pragmatic scripting and tooling workarounds that smooth complex rollout and SSO/Keycloak integrations. Beyond day-to-day ops, his GitHub and community presence reflect an open-source mindset focused on reproducible infra and automation.
