Configuring and Networking of Virtual Private Cloud.• Used AWS services such as IAM, route 53, EC2, EBS, AMI, Auto scaling, VPC, Load balancer, RDS, VPC, ECS, Cloud watch, Cloud formation, SNS, etc.• Supported the code builds by integrating with continuous integration tool (Jenkins). • Extensively worked on Jenkins/Hudson by installing, configuring, and maintaining for the purpose of continuous integration (CI) and for End to End automation for all build and deployments.• Built Continuous Integration environment, Continuous delivery environment and Integrated delivery (CI and CD process) Using Jenkins, Nexus, Yum and puppet. • Deployed Puppet, Puppet dashboard for configuration management to existing infrastructure. • Implemented rapid-provisioning and life-cycle management for Red Hat Linux using Puppet.• Wrote puppet manifests for deploying, configuring, and managing collected for metric collection and monitoring. • Handled large volumes of container clusters with Docker swarm, Kubernetes.• Developed Puppet modules to automate deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management of key clusters. • Performed merging and tagging need to be done after the code went live in environment. • Maintain a Live Like environment to test any production issues.

• Working on Azure Cloud Platform with Kanban Methodology. • Corteva Azure Architecture is Read Only through Portal. Utilized PIM for troubleshooting critical application issues. Creation of resources will be through Azure DevOps release pipeline using contributor SPN role (Iac). • Managing Windows and Linux servers, troubleshooting IP issues and providing support to multiple Application teams. • Designed and configured Azure Virtual Networks (V-Nets), Subnets , Azure Network Security Groups, DNS Settings, Security policies and Routing . • Written runbooks in PowerShell and deployed using CICD Az DevOps to Automation Accounts . Release pipelines use Azure AD Application Registration service principal in the Azure DevOps service connections for authentication to Azure. Runbook uses connections for Authentication. • Implemented custom application support RBAC role and written automation script for assigning this role to specific environment based on PROD and Non-PROD resource groups. • Effectively using Log Analytics workspace and good understand/experience with Kusto Query Language. • Written Shared ARM templates V2 and stored in storage accounts, these templates will be referred by application team ARM templates for deploying security and custom domain extensions. • Written unit test cases using Pester framework and integrated unit tests and runbooks in the Az DevOps Build pipelines. • Implemented Azure Policy Custom to Deploy SQL DB retention day to 21, if the retention days is less than 21. Corteva Retention Policy for data is 21 days. • Written Automation scripts in PowerShell, which make API calls to Azure DevOps and find users who have not accessed Azure DevOps for more than 90 days (Cost Optimization Project). • Using Infrastructure as Code pattern IaC to automate the Architecture.

• Worked on Agile Methodology and tools area (Code Management and build and release automation and service and incident management). • Worked on creating a Continuous Delivery CI pipeline with AWS Code Pipeline to automate builds with AWS Code Build. • Created health checks on Route 53 and configured different routing policies like Simple, Weighted, and Failover. • Worked on Micro-Service Platform using Elastic Beanstalk, Configured the EC2, RDS, ELB and Autoscaling group on Elastic Beanstalk. • Configured the Cloud Trial on the AWS console and created the Cloud watch events to receive SNS Notifications when someone terminates the EC2 instance. • Implemented various AWS solutions using EC2, RDS, EBS, ELB , Auto-Scaling groups, Optimized volumes. • Created EC2 instances with various AMI's and Configured Application Servers on the instances. • Configured Elastic Load Balancer ELB for distribution of incoming application traffic across multiple EC2 instances. Configured Auto-Scaling group to spin up more instances on heavy load. • Configured instances within the public subnet and tested the connectivity within instances within between and private subnets. • Created a Lambda service to take EBS Volume snapshots and configured CloudWatch to run the service every hour.• Connected various data stores like S3, DynamoDB with time scheduling in Crawlers ( AWS Glue ) for determining schema for data and created workflows to manage jobs and crawlers ( AWS Glue ) • Configured and managed various AWS services including EC2 , RDS , S3 , CloudWatch , CloudFront . • Automated the tasks using Ansible playbooks, Shell scripting and Python. • Migrated servers with the required configurations changes and testing and deploying the machines using Ansible commands • Created scripts in Python to automate log rotation of multiple logs from web servers. •
