• Solid understanding of major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) with experience in deploying and managing applications on those platforms.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Git Lab CI/CD), configuration management (e.g., Ansible, Chef), containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Cloud Formation).
