Devops Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Shape DevOps strategy and implement best practices across. Instrumental in establishing CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure management, and fostering a culture of collaboration between development and operations teams.

DevOps Strategy and Implementation

- Develop and implement the overall DevOps strategy for SPB, including the selection of appropriate tools and technologies optimized for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

- Evaluate and integrate OCI-native services and third-party tools to align with the organizations DevOps goals.

CI/CD Pipeline Development

- Design, build, and maintain robust and efficient CI/CD pipelines for various applications and services on OCI, automating build, test, and deployment processes.

- Leverage **OCI DevOps** services or tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions to create seamless pipelines.

- Integrate containerized applications into CI/CD pipelines using Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes (e.g., OKE - Oracle Kubernetes Engine).

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

- Implement and manage infrastructure as code using tools to ensure infrastructure is scalable, secure, and easily reproducible.

- Develop reusable IaC templates for provisioning OCI resources such as compute instances, storage, networking, and container orchestration services.

Configuration Management

- Automate configuration management using tools to ensure consistency and compliance across environments.

- Manage configurations for both virtual machines and containerized workloads running on OCI.

Cloud Infrastructure Management

- Manage and optimize Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to ensure performance, availability, and cost-effectiveness.

- Set up and manage OCI services such as Compute Instances, Autonomous Databases, Object Storage, and Networking.

- Implement OCI Monitoring and OCI Logging to track resource utilization and performance metrics.

- Optimize costs using OCI Cost Management tools and right-sizing resources.

Containerization and Orchestration

- Design and implement containerization strategies using Docker to package applications and dependencies.

- Deploy and manage containerized applications on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) or other container orchestration platforms.

- Implement Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments and manage lifecycle operations for containerized workloads.

- Ensure high availability, scalability, and security for containerized environments on OCI.

Monitoring and Logging

- Implement comprehensive monitoring and logging solutions using OCI Monitoring, OCI Logging, and third-party tools.

- Set up alerts and dashboards to proactively identify and address performance issues, security threats, and system failures.

- Monitor containerized workloads and Kubernetes clusters for performance and resource utilization.

Automation

- Automate repetitive tasks and processes using OCI CLI, SDKs, or scripting languages like Python to improve efficiency and reduce manual errors.

- Develop automation scripts for provisioning, scaling, and managing OCI resources and containerized environments.

Security

- Integrate security best practices into the DevOps pipeline to ensure the security of applications and infrastructure on OCI.

- Implement OCI Security Zones, Vault, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) to enforce security policies.

- Secure containerized workloads by implementing image scanning, network policies, and runtime security measures.

- Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments for both infrastructure and containerized applications.

Documentation

- Create and maintain clear and concise documentation for DevOps processes, tools, and infrastructure on OCI.

- Document containerization strategies, Kubernetes deployment processes, and OCI resource configurations.

- Ensure documentation is up-to-date and accessible to relevant stakeholders.

Key Additions for Oracle Cloud (OCI) and Containerization

• OCI-Native Services: Leverage OCI-native tools like OCI DevOps, OKE, and OCI Registry for container management.
• Containerization: Focus on Docker and Kubernetes for modern application deployment.
• Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Considerations: Ensure compatibility with hybrid cloud setups if applicable, using OCI’s hybrid cloud capabilities.
