Cloud Awareness (Supporting)

  • Understand basic cloud computing concepts and architectures (AWS, Azure, OCI).
  • Provide support or troubleshooting for cloud-related dependencies when required.
  • Note: this role is primarily focused on on-prem and self-managed Kubernetes, not public cloud operations.
