Ep840: Aayush Kumar | CEO, OpsLyft

Aayush is the CEO and Founder of OpsLyft. Before OpsLyft, Aayush worked as a Lead DevOps Engineer at Indix. There he was given the responsibility to handle the whole cloud infrastructure which had a budget of upwards of $5 million. This rigorous exercise made him realize the fundamental problems with cloud cost optimization and how it is an ongoing exercise. When Aayush researched the market of cloud management platforms, he found out that even though there are a plethora of cloud solutions existing, most of them were just focused on providing analytics or just using “best practices” to provide short-term solutions. This made him pivot from being a developer to an entrepreneur and he started OpsLyft with the goal to help organizations manage their cloud operations the right way.
