Kehinde Abiuwa

I design and build cloud platforms on AWS and Azure that are secure by default and dull to run. In my line of work, dull is the compliment.

About

I learned cloud by fixing it first.

In my own words

My first cloud job, back in 2018, was on an Azure support desk. It is an underrated place to start. For three and a half years I triaged incidents, wrote root-cause reports and ran restore tests, and I learned that most outages are not clever. They are an alert nobody tuned, a permission nobody reviewed, or a change that went out with no way back.

Platform work, told plainly.

Most of what I build sits behind client agreements, so the names stay out. The problems, the decisions and the results are real.

A multi-account AWS foundation teams could build on

Teams needed new AWS accounts quickly, and every new account was one more place for a security gap to hide.

Infrastructure as Code that people actually trust

Infrastructure changes were slower than they should have been, hard to audit, and environments had a habit of drifting apart.

Releases you can take back

When a release went wrong, rolling it back took hours. That makes people nervous about shipping at all.

Microservices on ECS Fargate, with the supply chain locked down

Getting a new service from a Dockerfile into production took too long, and there was not enough control over what went into the images.
