About me

Mélony Y. Qin, aka CloudMelon. I am the book author of Azure for architects 4th edition (coming soon), the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) Exam Guide, the Kubernetes Workshop, and Microsoft Azure Infrastructure published by Packt Publishing. And more importantly, an educator, a techpreneur and a community advocate.

I am a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Project Management Institute (PMI). Mainly working on my contributions towards OSS, DevOps, Kubernetes, Serverless, Data & AI, and IoT on Microsoft Azure in the community.

I founded 2 core companies : CloudMelon Vision and iAngelArt Global. I am running CloudMelon Vis – an education platform for all techpreneurs and Cloud-Native Innovators newsletter read by technologists from top tech companies.

“True fact as an IT professional, we should be a lifetime learner, the “KEY” to success is Keep Educating Yourself. I believe learning by doing, hands-on is the king.”
