About Krist

I help you industrialize your platforms, secure your cloud environments, and ensure production reliability worthy of SRE standards. I intervene when it's necessary to set up or improve your Kubernetes environments, optimize your CI/CD pipelines, strengthen security, reduce incidents, or guide your teams towards a mature DevSecOps approach.

What I bring you:
  • Robust and secure cloud-native architectures (AWS, GCP, OVH).
  • Advanced expertise in Kubernetes, EKS/GKE/OVH Managed K8s, GitOps, autoscaling, monitoring, and hardening.
  • High-performance CI/CD pipelines integrating security scanning, automated tests, supply-chain security, and continuous deployments.
  • An SRE approach focused on performance, SLOs/SLIs, MTTR reduction, availability, and operational best practices.
  • An offensive security dimension: technical audit, internal attack simulation, Docker/K8s hardening, defense control verification.
  • Support and training for your teams to accelerate DevOps/Cloud skill development.

My usual deliverables:

  • Complete setup of a production-ready Kubernetes cluster.
  • Creation or redesign of CI/CD pipelines.
  • Migration to a cloud-native architecture.
  • Deployment of observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK).
  • Cloud and container security hardening.
  • Clear documentation and skills transfer.
