👋 I'm Shubham Katara

Senior Platform Engineer @ trivago | Hybrid Cloud Architect

I specialize in building and scaling resilient, Kubernetes-native platforms that bridge the gap between on-premise datacenters and the public cloud. Currently, I'm part of the Hybrid Platform Team at trivago, where I architect systems that seamlessly integrate Harvester (SUSE) on-prem environments with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

🏗️ What I'm Working On

  • Hybrid Cloud Synergy: Deep-diving into the orchestration of workloads across disparate environments, leveraging Workload Identity Federation to eliminate secrets and enhance security.
  • Kubernetes-Native Tooling: Building custom controllers and operators in Go to automate infrastructure lifecycle management.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Managing complex hybrid footprints using Terraform and GitOps principles.
  • Observability & Scaling: Optimizing performance with Prometheus and implementing event-driven autoscaling with KEDA.

✍️ Content & Community

I'm passionate about sharing technical knowledge and demystifying complex cloud-native concepts.

🛠️ Featured Open Source Projects

  • Hybrid-Cloud-Platform: Modules and policies for implementing Workload Identity Federation between on-prem K8s and GCP to create a hybrid cloud platform.
  • kubernetes-ec2-operator: A Go-based operator for managing AWS EC2 instances within a Kubernetes cluster.
  • go-nfs-prometheus-exporter: A lightweight Prometheus exporter for NFS metrics written in Go.
  • kubernetes-descheduler: Exploring and extending descheduling logic for optimized cluster utilization.

🧰 Tech Stack

  • Languages: Go, Python, Bash
  • Orchestration: Kubernetes (CAPI, KEDA, Kyverno)
  • Infrastructure: Terraform, Harvester (SUSE), GCP, AWS, Azure
  • Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos
  • CI/CD: ArgoCD, GitHub Actions
