      Crypto Identity and Authentication Team, Enterprise & Network Security Org Telemetry injection, Data pipelining and Monitoring Dashboards • Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) on Hybrid Cloud Interface – Active Directory (AD) SSO manages roles and access to AKS Clusters using AD credentials of users in a domain. Worked with stakeholders to inject telemetry code at key authentication points. Formulated Kusto queries and designed PowerBI dashboards to visualize KPI's to monitor reliability & adoption metrics. • Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSA) for Standalone/AKS Clients - GMSA allows rolling authentication management for containers using Kerberos KDS. Worked with relevant stakeholders to gather telemetry data and process it in HDInsight Clusters and present key metrics to monitor adoption/migration from an older version of the feature. • Data Pipeline Migration to Azure Datalake and Spark - Migration to Datalake, leveraging the immense computation improvements of Spark brought down runtimes by 1/10, with significant reduction in compute expenses, from a previous stack of SCOPE scripts on COSMOS DB, which had its limitations of Big Data storage and processing. Feature Validation and Bug identification • Azure Defender for AKS on Azure Stack HCI - Azure Arc allows multi-cloud deployments to be consolidated to centralized monitoring in Azure portal, hence cluster security fits right into the architecture. Validated Azure Defender pod deployments in conjunction with Azure Arc, with E2E build pipelines to identify & troubleshoot critical pre-release bugs, enabling quick turn-around times • GMSA - Built scripts to automate the primary error prone steps of GMSA configuration and deployment on AKS clusters. Worked with vendor team to setup recurrent validation procedures that ensure quality and functional efficiency across releases.
