- Manage AWS EC2 infrastructure including instance provisioning, right-sizing, AMIs, EBS volumes, security groups, IAM role integration, and lifecycle management.
- Implement automation and configuration management using tools such as Ansible, shell scripting, or Terraform to reduce manual effort and configuration drift.
