.Net Azure with Docker & Kubernetes

Primary Skills

• .NET Core and .NET Framework development: In-depth experience in building scalable and maintainable applications using C#. This includes web applications, APIs, background services, and integration with third-party systems.

• Azure App Services, Azure Functions, and Azure DevOps: Hands-on expertise in deploying applications to Azure App Services, creating serverless workflows with Azure Functions, and managing end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps.

• Docker containerization and image management: Skilled in writing Dockerfiles, building and managing container images, and using Docker Compose for multi-container applications. Ensures consistent environments across development, testing, and production.

• Kubernetes orchestration and deployment: Proficient in deploying and managing containerized applications using Kubernetes. Experience includes writing YAML manifests for deployments, services, config maps, and secrets, as well as managing scaling, rolling updates, and health checks.

• CI/CD pipeline creation and management: Capable of designing and implementing automated pipelines for building, testing, and deploying applications. Familiar with tools like Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins to ensure smooth and reliable delivery processes.

• RESTful API development and integration: Strong understanding of REST principles and experience in designing, building, and consuming APIs. Uses tools like Swagger/OpenAPI for documentation and Postman for testing and validation.

• Microservices architecture design: Experience in designing and implementing microservices-based systems using .NET and Docker. Focuses on modularity, scalability, and resilience, with inter-service communication via HTTP or messaging systems.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Skilled in automating infrastructure provisioning using tools like Bicep, ARM templates, or Terraform. Ensures consistent and repeatable deployments of Azure resources across environments.

Secondary Skills

• Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics: Familiar with monitoring and diagnostics tools in Azure to track application performance, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues using telemetry and logs.

• Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments: Basic to intermediate knowledge of using Helm to package, configure, and deploy Kubernetes applications, enabling reusable and version-controlled deployments.

• Git and version control best practices: Proficient in using Git for source control, including branching strategies, pull requests, and code reviews to maintain code quality and collaboration.

• SQL and NoSQL database integration: Experience in integrating applications with databases like Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, and Cosmos DB. Capable of writing optimized queries and managing database connections securely.

• Security best practices in cloud and container environments: Understanding of authentication, authorization, and secure communication practices. Familiar with managing secrets, certificates, and identity access in Azure and Kubernetes.

• Agile/Scrum methodologies: Comfortable working in Agile teams, participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and using tools like Azure Boards or Jira for task tracking.

• Unit testing and integration testing frameworks: Knowledge of writing and maintaining tests using frameworks like xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest. Ensures code reliability and supports test-driven development practices.

• Basic networking and DNS concepts in cloud environments: Understanding of virtual networks, subnets, firewalls, load balancers, and DNS configurations in Azure and Kubernetes to support application connectivity and security.
