🚀 Excited to Share: Our Latest Project in Infrastructure Automation! 🛠️ Thrilled to announce the successful completion of our recent project, "Provisioning AWS Infrastructure using Terraform and Amazon Linux-based EKS Optimized Golden AMI." 💼 In this project, we leveraged the power of Terraform to automate the deployment and management of AWS resources, coupled with the efficiency of Amazon Linux-based EKS Optimized Golden AMI, streamlining our infrastructure provisioning process. Key Highlights: 🔹 Utilized Terraform to define infrastructure as code (IaC), ensuring consistency and scalability across our AWS environment. 🔹 Deployed Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) using EKS Optimized Golden AMI, optimizing performance and security of our Kubernetes clusters. 🔹 Achieved seamless integration of AWS services, enhancing our DevOps capabilities and enabling rapid application deployment. By implementing this solution, we significantly reduced manual intervention, minimized downtime, and enhanced our system's reliability and resilience. This project exemplifies our commitment to innovation and efficiency in infrastructure management. Looking forward to leveraging these skills and experiences in future roles, particularly in SRE/DevOps positions, where I can contribute my expertise in infrastructure automation and cloud technologies. Open to exciting opportunities to drive operational excellence and empower teams to achieve their goals. Interested in learning more about this project or exploring potential collaborations?

Embracing and reading technical documentation specific to a product from the vendor is central to becoming a good application engineer, cloud engineer, or DevOps engineer. Your knowledge or growth will plateau if you find online documentation boring and abstruse. I figured early enough that whatever update is/was released will always be stated on the vendor's documentation website, including guidelines and pitfalls. Further to this, the best way to start learning the base minimum to hit the ground running is to consult your vendor's documentation.
