Plamen Petkov
Site Reliability & Platform Engineer
Welcome! I'm Plamen Petkov, a Site Reliability Engineer and Kubernetes & Cloud-Native Solutions Architect specializing in cloud-native technologies and modern infrastructure solutions. With deep expertise in Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and DevOps practices, I focus on building resilient, secure, and highly automated systems. I'm particularly passionate about GitOps, security automation, and creating scalable platform solutions that enable teams to work more efficiently.
Here are some projects I've worked on:
- Enterprise Kubernetes PlatformDeveloped a comprehensive Kubernetes management solution enabling centralized control across multiple environments (Hub & Spoke Architecture). Built with GitOps principles using ArgoCD, featuring advanced monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, and implementing zero-trust security architecture. The platform includes specialized node pools for different workload types and automated security compliance checking.
- Cross-Region Logging SystemEngineered a sophisticated logging system bridging multiple regions with enterprise-grade security. Implemented secure log forwarding with multi-layer security including mTLS and HMAC signing, designed security gateways with advanced request validation, and created automated certificate management systems.
- Cloud Resource Optimization PlatformBuilt an intelligent cloud resource management tool featuring automated resource discovery, cost analysis, and governance. Implemented daily automated auditing through GitHub Actions, created an intelligent tagging system for resource lifecycle management, and integrated with cloud storage for result persistence.
- Enterprise CI/CD FrameworkDeveloped a comprehensive suite of reusable CI/CD pipelines powering organization-wide deployments. Features include advanced Docker image building with security scanning, automated vulnerability patching, secure secrets management, and infrastructure cost estimation tools.
- Observability StackArchitected a production-ready observability platform integrating metrics, logs, and traces. Built with modern open-source tools, featuring automated alerts, custom dashboards, and efficient storage solutions for long-term data retention.
- A personal project leveraging Infrastructure as Code, self-hosting, Kubernetes, and containerization to create a fully automated home lab environment for testing and learning new technologies.
