summary

Moves from in-house cloud work to short AWS projects that run for weeks, using Terraform to provision environments and doing migrations and audits. Assumes a Windows app can run as a remote client, flips a Windows server to Linux to save licensing, then hits a client-server mismatch because the vendor’s “client” only logs into the server UI, forcing a multi-week redesign. Encounters a chilly audit culture, delivers terraformed Linux build and migration code but never owns ongoing ops.
