Hello—I’m Babu Macharia, and welcome to my digital journal dedicated to DevOps-stye Infrastructure, Cloud Engineering, and the art of Automating all the things.

As a Navy Veteran turned Cloud Engineer, I’m passionate about simplifying complex cloud and automation topics. My goal is straightforward: demystify the entire DevOps lifecycle—from crafting reusable Terraform modules and orchestrating Kubernetes clusters to implementing observability in microservices and securing cloud environments.

Along the way, I share my full experience—wins, frustrations, and those thrilling “aha!” moments when deployments finally click. You’ll find resources and reflections rooted in real-world scenarios that go beyond textbook examples, shaped by genuine curiosity and continuous experimentation.

Whether you’re an engineer troubleshooting container networking, exploring fresh IaC patterns, or simply curious about cloud best practices, I hope my content sparks new ideas and makes your DevOps journey a bit easier—and a lot more enjoyable.

Let’s connect, learn, and break things (responsibly) together!
