About Piyush Kumar Sah

I help organizations build dependable, automated cloud environments that reduce manual overhead and improve system uptime. Over the past year, I have focused on streamlining operations through CI/CD and AWS automation, successfully managing cloud infrastructure across both lab and production-like environments.Core Value & ImpactInfrastructure Automation: Optimized server configurations using EC2 bootstrap scripts to ensure repeatable, error-free deployments.Cost & Performance Optimization: Managed S3 lifecycle rules and CloudFront distributions to balance high performance with storage efficiency.Security First: Standardized IAM access management and VPC security groups to maintain strict, least-privilege environments.Linux Administration: Advanced troubleshooting of LVM, disk management, and system processes to ensure 24/7 operational stability.Technical ProficiencyCloud: AWS (EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS, Route 53, Lambda, CloudFront)Systems: Linux Administration (User mgmt, Permissions, Process Monitoring)Networking: DNS, IP Addressing, SSH/SCP, and Secure ArchitectureOperations: Backup strategies (AMIs), LVM, and DocumentationMy focus is on bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and seamless delivery. I am currently looking to bring my background in AWS and Linux administration to a forward-thinking DevOps or Cloud Engineering team.Let’s connect or reach out directly: p••••••••@gmail.com +91••••••••97I am currently open to new opportunities where I can contribute to scalable cloud solutions.

   Designed and deployed scalable cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS) supporting simulated production workloads with 99.9% high-availability architecture. Provisioned and configured 10+ EC2 instances with encrypted EBS volumes, implementing automated snapshot backups to reduce data loss risk. Architected secure VPC environments with public/private subnets, NAT Gateways, route tables, and Security Groups, improving network isolation and reducing unauthorized access risks. Implemented IAM roles and least-privilege access policies, eliminating hardcoded credentials and strengthening overall account security posture. Configured Application Load Balancer and Auto Scaling Groups to enable horizontal scaling and improve uptime during simulated peak traffic. Managed Amazon S3 storage with versioning and lifecycle policies, optimizing storage utilization through tiering and archival strategies. Configured CloudWatch monitoring and alarms to proactively detect performance bottlenecks and reduce incident response time. Deployed RDS (Multi-AZ) and DynamoDB environments to ensure database redundancy and high availability across Availability Zones. Administered Amazon Linux servers including user management, ACL configuration, cron automation, SSH key-based authentication, and package management. Hosted static websites using Apache Web Server on EC2 and implemented secure remote access and structured deployment practices. Completed an end-to-end cloud capstone project deploying a secure, scalable AWS architecture integrating EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, Load Balancing, and automated backup solutions.
