Cloud & Platform Engineering Leader
Amit Sharma
Platform Engineering Leader. DevOps and SRE Practitioner.
I design resilient cloud platforms and lead the engineering programs that ship them. From SRE-grade Kubernetes to zero-downtime migrations, I own delivery end-to-end across GCP, AWS, and Azure.
What I Stand For
Principles that shape how I work
Zero downtime is a constraint, not a goal
Teams that achieve zero downtime design for it from day one. It's not something you bolt on at the end — it shapes every architectural decision, from dual-run strategies to rollback triggers.
Migrations are org problems first
The technical challenges are rarely what derails a migration program. Misaligned stakeholders, unclear ownership, and InfoSec teams looped in too late — these are the real risks.
Platform engineering is about enabling autonomy
A good platform team makes itself invisible by enabling other teams to move fast safely. The goal isn't to run Kubernetes — it's to make the 100 teams using it not need you.

Insights
Technical & industry perspective
Zero Downtime Is a Constraint, Not a Goal
Most teams treat zero downtime as something to aim for. After leading migrations at 4.5M req/sec, I've come to see it differently — it's a design constraint that shapes every architectural decision from day one.
Cloud Migrations Are Org Problems First
I've led migrations at companies ranging from 50-person startups to platforms processing millions of requests per second. The technical challenges were rarely what threatened delivery. It was always something else.
