- Enable environment versioning and rollback strategies for all deployments.
Monitoring and Reliability
- Deploy and maintain observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Loki.
- Implement centralized logging, health checks and alerting mechanisms.
- Conduct load testing, capacity planning and performance optimization.
- Ensure infrastructure uptime targets and reliability SLAs are met.
Security and Compliance
- Configure and manage Identity and Access Management (IAM / RBAC).
- Implement encryption, TLS/SSL and network security best practices.
- Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and intrusion detection systems.
- Maintain compliance with organizational or regulatory standards (ISO, SOC 2, GDPR).
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
- Design and manage DR and backup strategies across regions or environments.
- Automate snapshots, replication and failover recovery mechanisms.

Integration and Networking
- Configure secure connectivity between cloud and on-prem environments (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute).
- Manage hybrid integrations and service interconnectivity.
- Support middleware, API and data integration platforms as required.
Documentation and Process Management
- Maintain architecture diagrams, network topology and SOPs for deployments.
- Document DR, backup and scaling procedures.
- Provide internal training and knowledge transfer to DevOps and support teams.
