Hybrid Managed-Service EnvironmentTwo sites, two client organizations, one shared MSP edge, extended to AWS with a Terraform-provisioned Kubernetes cluster.Algonquin College capstoneJan – Apr 2026

Site 2 (17 VMs on Proxmox) was designed, built and run end to end: Active Directory and Samba AD tenants, eight VLANs behind OPNsense, an isolated iSCSI SAN, Veeam with offsite copy over a site-to-site VPN, and an AWS extension running a kubeadm cluster behind Caddy TLS, all in Terraform. Site 1, the on-premises site, was delivered with the team.
