Practical DevOps, infrastructure, and automation consulting for growing teams.

Elbaz IO helps startups and SMBs ship faster, stabilize infrastructure, improve delivery, and automate repetitive work with hands-on senior consulting across cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, SRE, and workflow automation.

~20 years of technical experience Startups and SMB-friendly Cloud, DevOps, automation, and advisory
Services

Senior consulting for infrastructure, delivery, and reliability.

Built for teams that need experienced hands-on support rather than bloated retainers, vague strategy decks, or generic implementation help.

Fractional DevOps & technical advisory

Ongoing senior guidance for teams that need architecture support, delivery improvements, and operational maturity without hiring a full-time senior DevOps lead.

  • Delivery process reviews
  • Platform and tooling decisions
  • Technical leadership support

Cloud infrastructure & Kubernetes

Design and improvement work for AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, and EKS environments with a focus on resilience, maintainability, and sensible complexity.

  • Cluster and platform design
  • Infrastructure reviews
  • Scaling and operational readiness

CI/CD, SRE & automation

Improve release confidence, observability, alerting, and repetitive workflows through practical engineering work using GitHub Actions, monitoring, n8n, Python, and Bash.

  • Pipeline modernization
  • Monitoring and reliability practices
  • Workflow and integration automation
Process

Clear, practical, low-friction engagement.

The process is designed to reduce ambiguity quickly, surface real constraints, and move toward useful technical outcomes instead of long discovery cycles.

Step 01

Initial conversation

We discuss goals, pain points, current systems, and where delivery or infrastructure is slowing the team down.

Step 02

Technical assessment

I review architecture, workflows, deployment patterns, and operational risks to find the highest-leverage next steps.

Step 03

Execution plan

You get a practical scope: advisory, hands-on implementation, iterative support, or a focused architecture review.

Step 04

Hands-on delivery

We improve systems with pragmatic changes that the team can actually operate and maintain after handoff.

Tech stack

Tools and domains I work with regularly.

Broad technical experience across cybersecurity, surveillance, AI, and chatbot systems helps connect infrastructure choices to real business and product constraints.

Cloud & platform

AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, EKS, infrastructure planning, cloud architecture, and operating environments built for growth.

Delivery & observability

GitHub, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, alerting, reliability improvements, incident readiness, and SRE-minded delivery practices.

Automation & integration

n8n, Python, Bash, workflow orchestration, system integrations, and targeted automation that removes repetitive work and manual glue.

Founder note

I work best with teams that value practical engineering judgment, honest tradeoffs, and steady progress. The goal is not to add complexity. It is to help you build systems your team can ship, operate, and trust.

Common questions

Helpful answers for early-stage conversations.

These sections also help the page target practical search intent around DevOps consulting, cloud advisory, and automation support.

What kinds of companies do you work with?

I mainly help startups and SMBs that need senior infrastructure, DevOps, automation, or technical advisory support without committing to a full-time senior hire.

Do you offer hands-on implementation or only advisory?

Both. Engagements can range from architecture reviews and technical guidance to hands-on work across cloud platforms, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, and automation.

Can you help with workflow automation as well as platform engineering?

Yes. In addition to DevOps and cloud work, I help teams automate internal workflows and integrations with tools like n8n, Python, and Bash.

Contact

Let’s talk about what your team needs next.

For most teams, the fastest next step is a short conversation over WhatsApp or email. If you prefer, you can also use the scheduling link once it is live.

Best practice note: the page emphasizes WhatsApp as the primary lead path and avoids overemphasizing the raw phone number in the hero, which usually keeps the CTA cleaner while still making direct contact easy.
