• Configure autoscaling (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, Cluster Autoscaler) and integrate Azure Container Instance (ACI) where appropriate
• Implement Pod security policies, node-to-node encryption, and enforce NIST-aligned security controls when deploying container images
• Integrate AKS logs (application, event, cluster, user activity, diagnostics) into Azure Event Hub or Storage and enable real-time monitoring
• Manage authentication and authorization for cluster access using managed identities, service principals, certificates, and secrets
• Deploy and manage HTTPS Ingress controllers and TLS certificate management for Kubernetes services
• Use governance and scanning tools to monitor images, runtime, vulnerabilities, registries, and hosts

• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes concepts: pods, nodes, ConfigMaps, selectors, services
• Experience deploying and configuring HPA, Cluster Autoscaler, and integrating Azure Container Instance (ACI)
• Experience deploying Linux and/or Windows Kubernetes clusters from Azure CLI and using AKS for CI/CD runtime
• Working knowledge of NIST security policies and standards, FedRAMP, CSA, or ISO cloud/container standards
• Proficient with code versioning tools such as GitHub
• Experience pulling images from private Azure Container Registry (ACR) and deploying to AKS
• Familiarity with API standards (Swagger, REST) and database technologies mentioned (Azure SQL Server, MongoDb, PostgreSQL)

Nice to have
