Sr Azure architect with Java and Cloud Foundry → Azure Migration (Spring Boot + React) Chicago IL - Onsite Rate$80/hr C2C AI Role summary Lead the hands-on migration of Cloud Foundry applications to Azure while modernizing them into resilient, secure, observable microservices. Own back-end Spring Boot and front-end React delivery, harden services for production, and execute zero-regression cutovers. Key outcomes Decompose legacy CF apps into Spring Boot 3 microservices with React (TypeScript) front ends on Azure. Achieve production-grade resiliency (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, rate limiting). Raise security posture (OAuth2/OIDC with Azure AD, secrets in Key Vault, container hardening, OWASP Top 10). Establish end-to-end observability (Micrometer + OpenTelemetry + Azure Monitor/App Insights). Meet quality gates: 85–90% unit coverage on critical services, contract tests for APIs, zero-defect cutover. What you will do Refactor CF apps into Spring Boot 3 REST/GraphQL services; design APIs and schema evolution/versioning. Build React + TypeScript SPAs; integrate securely with new APIs (client-side routing, caching, error handling). Containerize services and UIs; publish images to ACR; deploy to AKS or App Service with APIM or Spring Cloud Gateway. Implement resiliency: Resilience4j, Spring Cloud Circuit Breaker, backoff/idempotency, P95/P99 budgets. Harden security: Spring Security, OAuth2/OIDC (Azure AD), mTLS (where applicable), CSP/security headers. Manage config/secrets via Azure App Configuration and Key Vault; use managed identities. Own data migration paths (Flyway/Liquibase), pooling (HikariCP), and caching (Redis). Embed observability: Micrometer metrics, OTEL traces, structured logging, SLOs/error budgets, synthetic checks. Automate quality: JUnit 5, Mockito, Testcontainers, Pact, Jest/RTL, Playwright; performance tests (Gatling/JMeter). Required experience 12+ years professional Java (11–21), including 5+ years modern Spring Boot (v2/v3) building production services. Proven Cloud Foundry → Azure migrations (AKS or App Service), including cutover planning and rollback strategies. React + TypeScript: component design, state mgmt, routing, secure API integration, testing. Microservice patterns: DDD fundamentals, API versioning, schema evolution, async messaging (Kafka/Service Bus). Resiliency & security: Resilience4j, Spring Security, OAuth2/OIDC (Azure AD), container hardening, OWASP practices. Observability: Micrometer, OpenTelemetry, App Insights/Azure Monitor, alerting tied to SLOs. CI/CD: Maven/Gradle, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, artifact/versioning strategy, SBOM and dependency scanning. Nice to have Azure API Management policies, Spring Cloud Azure starters, Azure Functions for edge use cases. Service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), PDB/HPA tuning on AKS. Data platforms: Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Redis; messaging with Event Hubs/Service Bus. please share resume to ram.sangeet@sunedgeusa.com

Terraform Automation Framework for Enterprise AWS Platforms Infrastructure as Code is essential for operating large-scale AWS environments consistently. In enterprise environments supporting hundreds or thousands of AWS accounts, Terraform helps enforce standardization, repeatability, and governance. Some key practices that have worked well in our environment: • Modular Terraform architecture for reusable infrastructure components • Standardized Terraform modules for networking, IAM, and shared services • GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines for automated infrastructure deployment • Policy guardrails integrated into infrastructure provisioning workflows • Automated compliance checks and drift detection By implementing these patterns, infrastructure provisioning becomes predictable, secure, and scalable across large AWS environments. Terraform combined with CI/CD enables organizations to move toward fully automated cloud platforms. Curious to learn how other teams structure Terraform frameworks at scale. #AWS #CloudArchitecture #PlatformEngineering #DevSecOps #FinOps

Kubernetes cost optimization is having a moment and it’s bigger than tooling. What’s changing is the culture: cost is becoming an engineering metric, and teams are starting to treat infrastructure like a system that can learn and adapt, not something you babysit forever. 🧠⚙️ This article breaks down the shift and why tools like Cast AI, StormForge, and Kubecost point to a new era of infrastructure intelligence.
