Production Kubernetes platforms
Architecture, evolution and ongoing operation of EKS, GKE and AKS clusters supporting critical workloads, autoscaling, security and operational governance.
When I can help
Real cloud infrastructure, automation, reliability and operations challenges that impact engineering teams in production environments across Brazil and Latin America.
Unstable, manual deployments or no clear rollback path
Limited visibility into errors, logs, metrics and alerts
Cloud infrastructure growing without standardization or governance
Kubernetes/EKS that is hard to operate, scale or sustain
Disorganized Terraform with no modular structure or best practices
Recurring incidents and low operational predictability
Slow, fragile pipelines with no security or cost validation
Growing cloud costs without visibility or control
Development teams overloaded with operational work
Infrastructure, cluster, region or critical service migrations
Services
One-off projects or recurring support for companies that need to improve infrastructure, automation, observability, reliability and cloud costs.
DevOps/SRE Assessment
Technical review of the environment, identification of risks, bottlenecks, operational issues and quick wins, with a prioritized action plan.
Cloud and Kubernetes Health Check
Assessment of AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, EKS, GKE, AKS, workloads, costs, security, scalability, deployments and operations.
Terraform & Infrastructure as Code
Module organization, structure review, standardization, automation, validation, governance and IaC best practices.
CI/CD and GitOps
Design or improvement of pipelines, deployment automation, rollback paths, quality gates, approvals, Terraform validation, security and cost controls.
Observability and SRE
Dashboards, metrics, logs, alerts, basic SLOs, runbooks, log retention, incident response improvements and reliability practices.
FinOps and Cost Optimization
Waste analysis, use of Spot, Karpenter, Kubecost, ephemeral workloads, right-sizing and governance to reduce costs without compromising critical workloads.
Migrations and Platform Modernization
Support for production migrations involving clusters, applications, databases, messaging, DNS, load balancers, WAF, cloud regions and post-migration validation.
Technical support for teams
Mentoring, technical support and direction for teams that need to mature DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, GitOps and cloud operations.
How it works
A practical DevOps and SRE consulting approach to understand the current environment, prioritize risks and deliver sustainable improvements in cloud operations.
01
Initial conversation
Understand the context, current pain points, technical goals, constraints and the maturity level of the team.
02
Technical assessment
Assess infrastructure, cloud, Kubernetes, pipelines, observability, security, costs and operational processes.
03
Action plan
Prioritize risks, improvements, quick wins and deliverables based on impact, urgency and complexity.
04
Execution or ongoing support
Implement improvements or support the team through execution with safety, documentation and governance.
Engagement examples
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, migrations and FinOps in production environments.
Critical infrastructure migrations
Production migrations involving clusters, cloud regions, databases, messaging, DNS, load balancers and post-migration validation without business disruption.
CI/CD, GitOps and Infrastructure as Code
Reliable pipelines with Azure DevOps, ArgoCD, Jenkins and GitLab CI, combined with organized Terraform, security and cost validation, and predictable rollouts.
Observability, SRE and FinOps
Useful metrics, logs and alerts with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and Datadog, along with SRE practices, incident management and cost reduction using Karpenter, Spot and Kubecost.
Experience built across technology, retail, SaaS and international environments — including work with Track.co, Cherokee Nation Businesses and Centauro.
About
About Roberta
I am a Tech Lead in Platform Engineering and founder of RSD Lab, working across DevOps, SRE, Cloud, Kubernetes and FinOps consulting.
I have experience designing, evolving and sustaining critical platforms in AWS, GCP and Azure environments, with focus on Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, automation, security, complex migrations, operational governance and platform modernization.
My work connects technical strategy, hands-on execution and production reliability, helping companies reduce operational risk, improve deployments, organize cloud infrastructure, evolve DevOps/SRE practices and optimize costs.
My focus is to deliver practical, sustainable solutions aligned with each company's current stage, without unnecessary complexity.

Technical assessment
Start with a technical assessment
In an initial review, I assess cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, observability, security and cost structure to identify risks, quick wins and priorities.

Does your infrastructure need more predictability?
If your company is dealing with unstable deployments, difficult-to-run Kubernetes, disorganized Terraform, limited operational visibility or rising cloud costs without clarity, we can talk about a technical assessment.
A first conversation to understand the context and assess whether it makes sense to work together.
