• GitOps & CI/CD: Implement GitOps workflows (using ArgoCD or Flux) to ensure the "Source of Truth" in Git is automatically reflected in the live environment.
• State Management: Design robust backend state management for multi-cloud IaC to prevent configuration drift and ensure environment parity.
- SRE & Operational Excellence
• Toil Elimination: Identify repetitive manual tasks in the migration lifecycle and replace them with automated self-service workflows.
• Observability Architecture: Design a unified monitoring plane (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) that provides "Single Pane of Glass" visibility across hybrid environments.
