Developed a one-touch automation template that can deploy the entire new product cloud infrastructure, including VPC, subnets, firewall, GKE cluster, load balancer, DNS record, SSL certificate, and Cloud Armor. Replaced commercial application monitoring tools such as AppDynamics and Datadog with open-source alternatives like OpenTelemetry and Signoz on the Jio Tech Platform. This transition resulted in a substantial 4x cost reduction in terms of metric data ingestion. Developed Python automation to streamline daily cloud access management tasks for the DevOps team, simplifying the management of cloud Single Sign-On (SSO) synchronization for over ~500 engineers. Migrated Jio Products\' entire cloud environment, including data layers such as MongoDB, RDS MySQL/Postgres, Kafka, Zookeeper, Solr, and Redis, from AWS to GCP. This comprehensive migration also covered over ~200 microservice applications, achieving nearly zero downtime. Key tools utilized in the process included Redis-Riot, Kafka-mirror, AWS DMS, and AWS Site-to-Site VPN. Written Ansible scripts to automate administrative activities for our self-managed data layer, which includes MongoDB, Kafka, Zookeeper, and Solr. Created a centralized Helm3 template for the efficient management of Kubernetes-based microservice deployments. Moved all individual microservice repos into one Unified Monorepo. Created a centralized infrastructure metrics dashboard for overseeing metrics across multiple environments in one location using Prometheus and Thanos. Participated in mission-critical production deployments and actively engaged in live troubleshooting alongside the SRE Team.
