Awanish Maurya

I’m an Infrastructure Engineer with 3 years of experience across Azure Cloud and On-Premise environments, specializing in Linux administration, kernel optimization, security hardening, and vulnerability management. I focus on building resilient systems that stay compliant while improving reliability and performance.

At Accenture, I managed a 1,400+ node Linux estate for a financial leader, ensuring 99.9% uptime through proactive monitoring and automated patching. I orchestrated CIS-based hardening and led cross-functional initiatives to resolve critical outages and optimize infrastructure costs across hybrid environments.

I’ve delivered measurable impact using Infrastructure-as-Code—transitioning from manual provisioning to Terraform for fast, repeatable deployments of VMs, AKS clusters, and Load Balancers. I also integrated Entra ID/IAM governance and hardened the perimeter using Azure WAF access controls to keep mission-critical applications highly available and compliant.

I bring a strong automation mindset, using Ansible, Bash, and even GenAI-supported review workflows to reduce deployment risks and MTTR while protecting data privacy and regulatory requirements. I’m energized by complex infrastructure challenges and partnering with teams to deliver secure, high-performance outcomes.
