- Collaborate with DevOps, IT support, and application development teams to optimize cloud performance (e.g., working with developers to integrate CI/CD pipelines if needed).
- Ensure high availability, disaster recovery, and failover strategies for cloud applications (e.g., setting up multi-AZ deployments for RDS, configuring Route 53 failover policies, and implementing AWS Backup for disaster recovery).
- Support documentation and auditing of cloud infrastructure and configurations to ensure compliance with industry standards and internal policies.
- Perform regular testing of cloud infrastructure, ensuring adherence to Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies.
- Assist in audits and compliance reviews by preparing necessary documentation, reports, and logs.
