Pulumi.
- Set up robust monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools like Prometheus, Grafana,
CloudWatch, ELK, or Datadog.
- Drive observability, incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous reliability
improvements.
- Harden infrastructure security: IAM, secrets management, network policies, vulnerability
scanning, and compliance controls.
- Collaborate with developers to optimize application performance, deployment workflows, and
developer experience.
- Automate operational tasks using scripting (Bash, Python, or Go) to eliminate toil.
- Document architecture, runbooks, and operational best practices.
