Cloud Native Infrastructure Optimization for IoT Hardware Startup

As a burgeoning startup in the IoT hardware sector, we are poised to scale our operations and require an expert to optimize our existing cloud infrastructure. Our primary goal is to establish a seamless CI/CD pipeline that facilitates rapid deployment and iteration of software for our IoT devices. The project will involve utilizing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform to ensure consistent environments across development, testing, and production. We also need to integrate observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana to enhance system monitoring and troubleshooting. Security automation is crucial to protect our hardware and data integrity. The successful freelancer will help us adopt GitOps practices for better collaboration and faster feedback loops and assist in managing our deployments across multiple cloud providers using Kubernetes and ArgoCD. The project requires a strategic approach to leverage multi-cloud capabilities for flexibility and resilience, ensuring our IoT solutions remain competitive and compliant.
