About

I'm John, a DevOps engineer based in Chennai. J Curato Solutions is the consulting and training venture I run alongside that work — this blog is its content arm.

Most DevOps content online falls into two buckets: tutorials that stop the moment a cluster actually breaks, and reference docs that assume you already know what's wrong. Neither one helps when a developer walks over and asks why a pod that clearly "completed" left no trace of what it did.

Every post here starts from a real incident — something that broke, the wrong assumption I made first, and the mechanical reason underneath it once I stopped guessing. If a post doesn't have a genuine failure behind it, it doesn't get written.

This blog is also where the material for a DevOps + AI training cohort is coming from. Content and course material are being built together, not one after the other — so what you read here is the same thing a future cohort would work through, not a marketing version of it.

If that's useful to you, start with the blog, or get in touch about the cohort.
