thresholds aligned to operational excellence standards.
• Build operational dashboards and runbooks that provide actionable insights for engineering
teams managing production AWS environments.
• Implement log aggregation, distributed tracing, and anomaly detection patterns to enable
proactive incident detection and response.
Security Guardrails & Compliance
• Implement preventive guardrails (SCPs, IAM permission boundaries, AWS Config rules) and
detective controls (Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config) across multi-account
environments.
