DevOps Engineer | Kubernetes | Cloud & Infrastructure Automation

Shamsher Khan is a DevOps Engineer and Cloud Computing specialist with deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, Azure, and infrastructure automation. He is the founder of OpsCart, a technical knowledge platform focused on real-world DevOps, container internals, and cloud-native system design.

With hands-on experience building and operating production-grade systems, Shamsher focuses on performance, reliability, and operational clarity—bridging the gap between theory and real infrastructure behavior.

Professional Focus

Shamsher’s work centers on designing, deploying, and optimizing cloud-native platforms, with a strong emphasis on:

  • Kubernetes architecture, scheduling, and workload behavior
  • Docker internals, container isolation, and resource management
  • Azure cloud infrastructure and DevOps pipelines
  • Infrastructure as Code and deployment automation
  • Production troubleshooting, reliability, and performance tuning

His content and engineering work aim to help teams avoid common DevOps anti-patterns and understand why systems behave the way they do under real load.
