Cross-VPC SOC Telemetry Pipeline on AWS

This project focuses on building a SOC telemetry pipeline across isolated AWS VPCs, a common enterprise architecture where monitoring infrastructure and production systems cannot directly communicate. The goal was to restore reliable endpoint visibility when network segmentation, routing, and access controls prevent security data from reaching the SIEM.

The central challenge was a complete telemetry failure caused by VPC isolation between the SIEM platform and monitored endpoints. I diagnosed the issue at the network layer and resolved it by designing private VPC peering, updating route tables, tightening security groups, and reconfiguring agents to use private communication paths. This restored end-to-end visibility without exposing services to the public internet and validated how network design directly impacts SOC effectiveness.

Containerized Web Application Deployment using Docker & Kubernetes

Containerized a static web application using Docker and deployed it on a Kubernetes (Minikube) cluster to understand real-world container orchestration and deployment workflows.

The application runs inside an Nginx container and is exposed via a Kubernetes NodePort Service, demonstrating service routing, deployment lifecycle management, and practical debugging of containerized applications.

This project strengthened my hands-on experience with Docker image creation, Kubernetes deployments, service networking, and cloud-native DevOps fundamentals.
