I’m Alessandro Vozza, a cloud platform architect and production Kubernetes operator with 20+ years of experience designing and running regulated infrastructure across Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Azure. I’m known for building systems that survive real-world operations—etcd, storage, networking, security baselines, and the day-to-day reliability work—not just architecture diagrams. In parallel, I’ve spent the last two years engineering production agentic AI systems. That hands-on AI experience lets me partner effectively with CTOs and platform leadership: translating compliance, trust, and measurable delivery practices into practical platform capabilities. I still run the clusters myself, and I enjoy turning complex cloud-native concepts into confident decisions for teams.…I’m Alessandro Vozza, a cloud platform architect and production Kubernetes operator with 20+ years of experience designing and running regulated infrastructure across Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Azure.

Work Experience

Cloud Platform Architect / Sr. Solution Engineer (Cloud + AI) at Microsoft

January 1, 2025 - Present

Owned and won complex technical evaluations for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Apps, and Azure AI Foundry across enterprise and public-sector accounts. Architected production-grade, regulated workloads on AKS and Container Apps and advised CTOs and platform teams on GPU infrastructure, agentic AI, and compliance frameworks. Advised on Azure Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift-on-Azure patterns to standardize portable Kubernetes control planes across hybrid estates, and bridged cloud-native infrastructure with the Microsoft 365 / Copilot ecosystem.

Founder & CEO at Kubespaces.io

January 1, 2024 - Present

Designed and built a Kubernetes namespaces-as-a-service product for ephemeral self-service developer environments, providing quota, network policy, and RBAC guardrails by default. Owned control-plane design enabling on-demand lifecycle operations (create, suspend, destroy) at scale, and developed the product narrative for investors with international conference presentations.

Senior Platform Advocate at Solo.io

January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2024

Led GTM and technical evangelism for an Istio-based service mesh and Gloo Mesh/Gloo Gateway in enterprise accounts. Ran hands-on workshops and produced technical content on multi-cluster service mesh, Gateway API, and zero-trust networking architecture for global audiences, translating Kubernetes networking and distributed-systems concepts for both executive and engineering stakeholders.

Certified Instructor at Linux Foundation

January 1, 2018 - Present

Delivered Kubernetes and cloud-native training internationally, covering CKA, CKAD, and CKS curricula. Trained hundreds of engineers across skill levels and adapted curriculum for diverse technical audiences.

Independent Consultant Architect at Lovelace Engineering B.V.

January 1, 2018 - Present

Designed and guided cloud platform architecture across regulated enterprise engagements, including Azure landing zone and AKS platform design for global migrations (network segmentation, identity, policy-as-code guardrails). Built secure regulator-ready cloud-native platforms on AKS for financial services using Istio mTLS-by-default, GitOps delivery, and zero-trust network policy alignment. Led GitOps adoption (ArgoCD) across multi-cluster Kubernetes estates, enabling delivery teams to self-service with auditable deployments, and consistently treated architectural choices (mesh/no mesh, multi-cluster/multi-tenant, managed/self-hosted) as organizational decisions as much as technical ones.

Principal Software Engineer, Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft

November 1, 2016 - December 31, 2022

Delivered AKS readiness, deployment, and DevOps engagements for enterprise customers, covering cluster architecture, CI/CD, security baselines, and production operations. Designed and delivered OpenShift-on-Azure architecture and workshops bridging Red Hat’s container platform with Azure infrastructure. Architected secure landing zones and AKS platforms for financial-services and public-sector accounts with a focus on network isolation, identity, and policy-as-code. Authored Kubernetes troubleshooting and security best-practices guidance shared internally and externally via KubeCon talks.

Freelance Cloud Native Architect

January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2016

Provided independent consulting on-prem OpenStack/Ceph/OpenShift deployments for European enterprise customers, including operating private cloud platforms (compute, network, Ceph block/object storage) as a foundation for early OpenShift Container Platform rollouts.

Principal Architect, OpenStack & OpenShift at Red Hat

January 1, 2012 - January 1, 2014

Designed and led OpenStack and OpenShift deployments for enterprise customers across EMEA, defining compute, network, and Ceph/Swift storage architecture. Built early cloud-native transformation playbooks covering container platform patterns, multi-tenancy, and private cloud operations prior to mainstream “digital transformation” terminology.
