DevOps on Corrupted Glitch

Automating the Great Escape: Cloud Migration Pipelines with an AI Copilot in the Loop

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 09:00:00 -0500

Every datacenter exit starts the same way: someone opens a spreadsheet with 1,400 rows, and someone else says “we’ll just lift and shift.” Eighteen months later, half the estate is still on-prem and the spreadsheet has become sentient.

This is a field report from a migration that didn’t go that way — 140 production workloads moved in 11 months, zero rollback events. The difference wasn’t heroics. It was treating the migration as a factory, not a project, and putting an AI copilot inside the loop where humans were the bottleneck.

The DevOps Home Lab: A Production Mindset on a Power Strip

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0500

A home lab is only useful if it teaches you habits that transfer to production. A pile of Raspberry Pis running hand-configured containers teaches you how to hand-configure containers. This guide builds the opposite: a small estate you operate like an SRE, because the operating model — not the hardware — is the thing you’re practicing.

Project 03: Shifting Security Left with SAST in Azure Pipelines

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:00:00 -0500

The mission: recurring vulnerability assessment across C# and TypeScript codebases, enforced automatically — a PR with a new critical finding cannot merge. No security review meetings, no spreadsheets.

Project 04: Kubernetes Autoscaling & the EFK Observability Stack

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0500

The mission: stop paying for idle pods and stop debugging production by kubectl logs-ing one pod at a time. Two builds, one outcome: a cluster that scales itself and explains itself.
