EOS design Architect

Overview

Design and migrate OpenShift architectures, integrating VMware and Pure Storage.

Key Responsibilities

• ci/cd pipelines
• openshift architecture
• migration planning
• security audits
• automation
• pure storage

Tasks

o Design and implement CI/CD pipelines tailored for the OpenShift environment. o Ensure the architecture and migration plans are scalable to meet future growth and workload demands. o Work closely with development, DevOps, and operations teams to align architecture and migration plans with business needs. o Conduct regular security assessments and audits to maintain compliance with organizational standards. o Ensure the architecture supports high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery. o Implement security best practices, including role-based access control (RBAC), network policies, and encryption. o Implement migration processes, ensuring minimal downtime and disruption to business operations. o Design and implement OpenShift solutions that integrate seamlessly with VMware virtualized environments. o Define and implement best practices for OpenShift cluster setup, including multi-zone and multi-region deployments. o Provide detailed documentation of the architecture, migration strategies, workflows, and configurations. o Ensure compatibility and performance optimization between OpenShift, VMware, and Pure Storage. o Integrate DevOps workflows with OpenShift-native tools and third-party solutions. o Leverage VMware tools (e.g., vSphere, vCenter, NSX) to optimize OpenShift deployments. o Automate deployment, scaling, and monitoring processes to streamline application delivery. o Offer technical guidance and training to teams on OpenShift architecture, migration, and best practices. o Assess existing infrastructure, applications, and workloads to determine migration readiness. o Identify and mitigate risks associated with the migration process. o Develop detailed migration plans, including strategies for containerization, workload transfer, and data migration. o Design the target architecture for OpenShift, including cluster topology, networking, and storage solutions. o Configure and manage Pure Storage solutions (e.g., FlashArray, FlashBlade) to provide high-performance, scalable storage for OpenShift workloads.
