About Daily DevOps

Jon Price - DevOps, Automation, and Cloud Operations

Hi, I’m Jon Price. Daily DevOps is my place to capture practical notes from years of infrastructure, cloud, security, automation, and platform engineering work. It is less a brochure and more a living notebook: useful patterns, lessons learned, scripts, and ideas I want to remember and share.

My Background

  • 17+ years across data centers, managed hosting, AWS cloud, and engineering leadership
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation, platform operations, DevOps, security, and cost optimization
  • Based in San Diego, CA, with a long-running preference for remote-first engineering work
  • Always experimenting with better ways to connect humans, automation, and reliable systems

What I Write About

  • ⚙️ DevOps Automation - CI/CD, infrastructure as code, scripting, workflow automation, and reducing toil
  • ☁️ Cloud Operations - AWS, serverless, cost management, migrations, tagging, and operational tradeoffs
  • 🛡️ Security-Minded Engineering - DevSecOps habits, guardrails, secrets hygiene, and practical risk reduction
  • 🤖 AI-Assisted Delivery - Human-in-the-loop agent workflows, coding observability, and automation experiments

My Approach

I prefer practical, field-tested notes over vendor-speak. Most posts here are written from the perspective of someone who has had to operate systems after the architecture diagram was finished.

I care about:

  • Making repeatable work automatic
  • Keeping automation understandable and maintainable
  • Building guardrails that help teams move faster safely
  • Documenting the messy middle where real engineering decisions happen

Connect

If you want help with AWS, DevOps automation, platform operations, or AI-assisted engineering workflows, start with the consulting page or send a note.

For a shorter overview of the work I tend to take on, see AWS Consulting & DevOps Expertise.

If you already know you want a review, schedule a strategy call and I will help you map the next practical step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Daily DevOps?

Daily DevOps is my working notebook for practical AWS, DevOps, automation, cloud operations, security-minded engineering, and AI-assisted delivery notes.

What kind of work do you take on?

I usually focus on focused AWS and DevOps problems where the team wants practical guidance, clear tradeoffs, and an implementation path that matches the current operating model.

Do you help with consulting or implementation?

Yes. I can help review the current system, outline the highest-leverage fixes, and stay involved when hands-on implementation makes sense.

How should someone get started?

Start with the consulting page, the contact form, or a strategy call if you already know the scope. The clearer the system and outcome, the faster I can point to a useful next step.
