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
