Project name: AWS Infra Health Dashboard — End-to-End DevOps Pipeline
Tools: Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Ansible, Prometheus/Grafana, AWS (EC2, IAM, VPC)
Description:
- Designed and provisioned AWS infrastructure (VPC, IAM roles, EC2) as code using
Terraform, enabling repeatable, version-controlled environment setup.
- Built and containerized a Python/Flask monitoring application using Docker and
boto3, authenticating to AWS via IAM roles instead of static credentials.
- Implemented a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions to automatically build, test,
and deploy Docker images to Docker Hub and a Kubernetes cluster on every commit.
- Deployed and managed the application on Kubernetes, including troubleshooting
pod-level networking and IAM authentication issues.
- Automated configuration management with Ansible across a hybrid environment,
including a Windows Server/IIS target via WinRM — applying VMware/Windows
admin background to infrastructure automation.
- Deployed Prometheus and Grafana for real-time infrastructure monitoring.
