About Sarang Rao

Seasoned leader with extensive experience in leading an enterprise architecture team. Architect with over 18 years of experience. My current focus is to enable organization to adopt cloud and help teams migrate current workloads to cloud along with building cloud-native applications. DevOps and automation are in integral part of this journey with emphasis on automated configuration management, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD pipelines. I try to achieve this with an enterprise view and reusable patterns and standards while maintaining sane cloud governance model.
