I've failed as many times as I can count. I have more failures than I do wins so when I do win its such a surprise to me lol. Its about what you do when you do fail. For me, I've gotten back up and tried again because a new opportunity presents a new chance at winning again. Don't just take your ball and go home . Get back out there and keep shooting! #cloud #devops #devopsengineer #amazonwebservices #inspire #tech #cloudcomputing

Diving into Google Cloud’s 🌩️DevOps and SRE is like opening a door to a whole new world. It’s a reminder that if we seek change, we’ve got to start with ourselves. 🔄 This isn’t just about picking up new skills. It’s about a mindset shift, pushing boundaries, and shaping our own destinies. Every new command I learn, every process I improve, and every problem I solve, is a step towards personal transformation. To my connections: embrace the change. Be the catalyst. Our journey to innovation starts with persistence, learning, and evolving. Let’s push the boundaries of what’s possible in the cloud ☁️ , together. #DevOps #SRE #GoogleCloud #LearningIsGrowing

Happy Wednesday, Lovelies! 💧 Today, I wanted to share my journey into cloud technology and security, as it's been a path of constant learning and growth. When I first started with cloud systems, I was all about solving problems hands-on with glitches and every system issue, I wanted to dive right in, troubleshoot, and find a solution. It was about “how can I fix this?”—and I thrived on that. But as I moved further into DevOps and security, I started to see a bigger picture. 👍 I realized it wasn’t just about fixing individual problems, it was about building resilient systems that could handle challenges seamlessly, even under pressure. My focus is moving beyond troubleshooting to proactively designing systems that prevent issues before they even arise. Today, my focus is not only on creating scalable, secure environments but empowering teams to be more efficient and agile. In the world of cloud and DevOps, it’s not about having all the answers. It’s about fostering a mindset of continuous learning, resilience, and collaboration. And that's a journey I’m proud to be on. 👋 To everyone in tech and cloud, keep learning, adapting, and remember—it’s about the big picture! #CloudEngineering #DevOps #CloudSecurity #GrowthMindset #CloudAdmin #TechJourney

🚀 Excited to share my ongoing journey into the dynamic realm of DevOps! 🌟 Over the past week, I've had the opportunity to explore some incredibly fascinating solutions such as RDS, Elastic Cache, Amazon MQ, and Beanstalk. It's been an exhilarating dive into the world of cloud infrastructure and automation. There's something truly captivating about progressing from the fundamentals to more intricate concepts, each step unveiling new layers of knowledge and understanding. That's the beauty of learning—it's a continuous evolution. In the coming weeks, I'm gearing up to delve into Jenkins. The anticipation is palpable, and admittedly, there's a hint of apprehension about the unknown. But isn't that what makes the journey all the more thrilling? Embracing the challenges and conquering them one by one. 💪 Stay tuned as I navigate through this exciting adventure and share insights along the way. Let's learn, grow, and conquer together! 🌱✨ #DevOps #ContinuousLearning #JourneyOfDiscovery

Very good features, specially Cost Anomaly Detection. However that’s still reactive, means you get to be notified while the damage is already done. It is very important and crucial to work reactively as well as proactively, implementing guardrails to prevent anamoly in the first place. It’s not possible to cover all edge cases proactively wherein reactive approach of getting notifications, identifying anamoly and taking corrective measures will be helpful #devops #cloudops #finops

Curious how ProsperOps helps FinOps practitioners with their Key Priorities? ▪️Managing commitment-based discounts: ProsperOps completely automates the purchasing and optimizing of customers’ savings plans and convertible RIs. This occurs in real-time based on changes in their EC2 environment. The automation and advanced techniques we implement consistently lead to customers getting a higher ROI from their instruments than before (net of our fee). Customers never have to think about an RI or savings plan again. 🤝 ▪️Empowering engineers to take action: I often hear that teams are hesitant to cover large %'s of their environments with RIs/SPs because they’re unsure of what their engineers will do down the line. This problem goes away when their RIs become flexible. Call it ‘vertical flexibility’. When convertible RIs are combined with automation, they can ‘flex’ up and down to match usage changes. Engineering teams are free to build, knowing that, despite any usage changes, ProsperOps will keep them optimally covered 24/7. ▪️Enabling automation: Enabling automation saw a ~10% increase in responses compared to 2022. We’re seeing this in the rate optimization space as well. Customers are tired of doing back-of-the-napkin math or having to make optimization decisions with their vendor, they want it done for them. We agree. Automation is especially key when it comes to rate optimization. Why? 1. Cloud providers charge by the second. Any lag between an engineering optimization and a rate optimization will cost the company missed savings. We see lag from DIY approaches and from vendors who are using humans to try and optimize their customers’ instruments 2. Humans are prone to error. As unfortunate as it is, we’ve seen accidental RI and SP purchases that are incredibly expensive and difficult to get rid of. 3. Mature FinOps shops at large enterprises often have individuals who spend the majority of their time trying to optimize RIs and SPs. By automating that responsibility away, they’re free to focus on other priorities. If your org is looking for additional support in these areas, we can absolutely help. -Stats taken from the FinOps Foundation “State of FinOps ‘23 Survey” #finops #aws #cloudcostoptimization #cloudcosts #cloud #saas
