I’m Mounika K, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer focused on designing automated, scalable AWS-based infrastructures. I specialize in CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and CloudFormation), containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes/EKS, and robust monitoring and security practices to keep production systems reliable. I’ve migrated on-premise applications to AWS, built cost-efficient architectures, and collaborated with developers, QA, and stakeholders to deliver secure, high-availability deployments. I’m passionate about continuous improvement and enabling teams to ship faster with confidence.
