DevOps Diaries
DevOps Diaries is where I share opinions, architecture notes, and hands-on tutorials about building and operating cloud infrastructure. If you like practical write-ups (with tradeoffs, pitfalls, and “what I’d do again”), you’re in the right place.
What You'll Find Here
Tutorials you can run today
Step-by-step guides focused on security, automation, and real-world workflows:
- Creating an IAM Admin Account in AWS IAM Identity Center
- Using OIDC to Secure GitHub Actions Access to AWS
Architecture and platform engineering notes
Patterns, opinions, and references I come back to while building platforms:
- Identity and access design (IAM, OIDC, least privilege)
- Delivery pipelines (CI/CD), policy-as-code, and automation
- Observability and operability (what breaks at 2am)
- Scalable, boring infrastructure (where “boring” is a feature)
Blog (coming soon)
Short posts with opinions, lessons learned, and design notes that don’t fit neatly into a tutorial.
A few guiding principles
- Prefer clarity over cleverness.
- Automate the repeatable; document the sharp edges.
- Design for humans: on-call, incident response, and maintainability matter.
Start here
- Read the tutorials (linked above) if you want actionable steps.
- Skim the About Me page.
- Use the nav to jump between topics as the site grows.
Notes and disclaimer
I do my best to be accurate, but cloud providers move fast and details change. Always validate against current docs and your org’s security requirements.
