  • Configured container instances with appropriate resource limits, networking, and scaling options.
• CI/CD Pipeline for Backend:
  • Established a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline for the backend, automating the build and packaging of Docker images.
  • Integrated Azure Container Registry (ACR) to store Docker images and version control.
  • Implemented Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline for seamless deployment of new backend versions to Azure Container Instances.
• Vue Frontend Deployment:
  • Deployed the Vue.js frontend application using Azure App Service Static Web Apps for a serverless and scalable web hosting solution.
  • Configured custom domains, SSL certificates, and CDN integration for optimal frontend performance.
• Serverless Function and Service Bus Queue:
  • Provisioned serverless resources and functions using Azure Functions to handle specific tasks within the application.
  • Set up Service Bus Queues to enable asynchronous communication and message processing between different components.
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform:
  • Utilized Terraform to define, provision, and manage Azure resources in a repeatable and version-controlled manner.
  • Ensured infrastructure changes were applied consistently across environments using Terraform.
• CI/CD for Infrastructure:
  • Established CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes using tools like Azure DevOps.
  • Ensured that updates to infrastructure were tested and deployed automatically to maintain reliability.
• Monitoring and Scaling:
  • Implemented monitoring and alerting solutions in Azure to proactively identify and respond to infrastructure issues.
  • Ensured the infrastructure could scale dynamically to handle varying workloads.
• Security and Compliance:
  • Implemented security best practices, including Azure Key Vault for secrets management and Azure Security Center for threat detection.
  • Ensured compliance with industry standards and regulations relevant to the project.
• Documentation and Knowledge Sharing:
  • Maintained detailed documentation of the Azure infrastructure setup, configurations, and procedures.
  • Collaborated with the project team to share knowledge and best practices related to Azure infrastructure management.

My role was pivotal in ensuring the project’s success by providing a robust, efficient, and well-maintained Azure infrastructure to support the Wilhelmsen Platform 13 application and its CI/CD pipelines.
