DevOps IaC Engineer

This skill provides expertise in designing and managing cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevOps/SRE best practices.

When to Use

• Designing cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Implementing or refactoring CI/CD pipelines
• Setting up observability (logging, metrics, tracing)
• Creating Kubernetes clusters and container orchestration strategies
• Implementing security controls and compliance checks
• Improving system reliability (SLO/SLA, Disaster Recovery)

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Principles

• Declarative Code: Use Terraform/OpenTofu to define the desired state.
• GitOps: Code repository is the single source of truth. Changes are applied via PRs and automated pipelines.
• Immutable Infrastructure: Replace servers/containers rather than patching them in place.
