Sai Prasanth Dannana

I’m a Cloud Engineer with 4.7 years of experience on Azure, focused on infrastructure provisioning, monitoring, deploying, and supporting production workloads through Azure DevOps activities. I bring a DevOps mindset across the software development lifecycle, with a strong emphasis on build and release quality.

In my roles, I’ve owned CI/CD pipeline configuration using Azure Pipelines (including Azure DevOps build/release workflows) and created build agents, including self-hosted agents. I use Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and ARM Templates to deploy and manage Azure infrastructure across multiple environments. I’ve also integrated build tools like Maven, NPM, and NuGet into Azure Pipelines to support reliable release processes.

I work deeply with containerization and orchestration—building Docker images, managing images in Azure Container Registry, and deploying to AKS using Kubernetes manifests and YAML-based deployment configurations. I’ve implemented supporting container concepts like Docker volumes and shared storage patterns to improve availability and troubleshooting speed. For security and governance, I configure tools and controls such as Sonar Cloud, Veracode, and WhiteSource Bolt for code and open-source scanning.

On the platform side, I’ve configured Azure services spanning VM, VNet, VM Scale Sets, Azure Storage, Azure APIM, Cosmos DB, AKS, Key Vault, and monitoring using Azure Monitor and Azure Application Insights. I also support networking and security components including NSG, VPN Gateway, Azure Firewall, Load Balancer, and Application Gateway—helping teams identify, troubleshoot, and resolve build and deploy issues quickly.
