About Eleni Grosdouli - DevOps Consulting Engineer

As a DevOps Consulting Engineer at Cisco Solutions GmbH, I'm deeply involved in the cloud-native ecosystem. My main technical skills are Kubernetes, Docker, containers, Infrastructure as Code tools, and networking in data centres. I'm driven by solving complex challenges across different environments.

Feel free to reach out to any available platform!

Technical Expertise 💻

I often share content and guides on Cilium, ProjectSveltos, K8S Cleaner, Rancher, RKE2, and OpenShift deployments. These focus on strong solutions for both on-prem and cloud setups. My contributions are also featured on official platforms like the Cilium Blog and the ProjectSveltos Blog.

Beyond the Keyboard 🏃‍♀️

When I am not diving deep into tech, my time is often spent enjoying the great outdoors or competing in team sports. Boxing and kickboxing remain my preferred ways to stay active!
