Projects
Terraform · Azure AKS · Azure ACR · kubectl · Azure CLI
- Provisioned Azure Resource Group, Container Registry, and AKS cluster entirely using Terraform IaC — no manual portal interaction.
- Deployed a containerised Nginx application on Kubernetes exposed via a public LoadBalancer service.
- Managed full infrastructure lifecycle — provision, deploy, and destroy — from a single version-controlled codebase.
- Outcome: Production-grade IaC setup demonstrating repeatable, automated cloud infrastructure delivery.
Azure DevOps Pipelines · Docker · Azure ACR · Azure AKS · YAML
- Built a multi-stage Azure DevOps pipeline to build a Docker image, push to Azure Container Registry, and deploy to AKS.
- Configured Service Connections for secure integration between Azure DevOps, ACR, and AKS.
- Outcome: Fully automated application delivery pipeline from code push to live Kubernetes deployment.
Docker · Nginx · GitHub Actions · Let's Encrypt · Certbot · Azure VM
- Deployed a containerised full-stack application on Azure VM with Nginx as a reverse proxy.
- Secured the application with HTTPS using Let's Encrypt SSL certificates via Certbot.
- Automated deployment pipeline using GitHub Actions — push to main triggers zero-intervention deploy.
- Outcome: Production-ready, HTTPS-secured application with fully automated CI/CD delivery.
Azure Monitor · Bash · Cron · Telegram Bot API · Linux
- Built a real-time infrastructure monitoring system that tracks CPU usage on a Linux server.
- Wrote a Bash script to poll CPU metrics and trigger instant Telegram notifications when thresholds are exceeded.
- Scheduled automated monitoring using cron jobs for continuous, zero-intervention oversight.
- Outcome: Lightweight, production-style alerting system with real-time server health visibility.
Azure Cost Management · Azure Advisor · Azure Monitor
- Audited Azure infrastructure to identify underutilised and zombie resources incurring unnecessary costs.
- Identified potential 60–80% cost reduction through VM right-sizing and removal of orphaned resources.
- Outcome: Structured cost reduction recommendations using Azure Cost Management and Azure Advisor.
Docker · Docker Compose · Nginx · Azure VM · Ubuntu Linux
- Deployed a containerised web application on Azure VM using Docker Compose to orchestrate app and Nginx containers.
- Configured Nginx as a reverse proxy to handle routing and serve the application over the internet.
- Outcome: Fully containerised, internet-accessible web application running on cloud infrastructure.
