  • We have grown in the last 2 years with 300+ servers on AWS. It includes maximum linux servers (amazon linux AMI and ubuntu OS). handles provisioning of servers, setting infra for different applications and server access management etc.
  • i have worked on several projects to build system where it requires to make things automate via bash scripting like automation of nginx deployment within complete urbanclap aws infra, revert deployment in production incase it gets broken due to any issue using aws cli commands, bash script and jenkins(single-revert-click-deployment) EM's and Senior Engineers have given access for the same, pre-warming of servers requires when placement of new deployment containers didn't get space in ecs cluster due to less servers. This script will run side by side and increase the number of servers and new deployment containers start deploying without waiting for servers to boot.
  • We have set up cloudflare in front of urbanclap.com which is securing our infra from many attacks like DDOS etc. Also blocking of ip's is easy using firewall tools.
  • I have build few tools for the developers like to check the docker containers log like spot-logs(bash script) which requires their branch as input, server ip and log name they want to see, search-container-id/kill-container-id, databases-read-and-write-only-access(time-based), production-server-access(time-based).
  • Docker containers troubleshooting incase deployment is breaking in any environment. This includes seeing docker container logs, logging into the docker container itself, starting a new container from an image manually from which faulty container was started in the first place.
  • working on cost optimisation every month where I share monthly billing of aws infra with the team(upper management) and where cost went high and due to which reasons and what would be the action steps to reduce this if we can, working on infra security, created separate dev vpc for developer testing.
