Monitoring and troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters to identify and resolve performance issues, system errors, and other operational challenges will be a key aspect of your responsibilities. You will also be required to implement infrastructure as code (IAC) using tools like Ansible and Terraform for configuration management. Furthermore, you will design and implement cluster and application monitoring using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Datadog. Managing and optimizing AWS cloud resources and infrastructure for Managed containerized environments (ECR, EKS, Fargate, EC2) will be a part of your daily tasks. Ensuring high availability, scalability, and security of all infrastructure components, monitoring system performance, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing necessary optimizations are also crucial responsibilities. Your role will involve troubleshooting and resolving complex issues related to the DevOps stack, developing and maintaining documentation for DevOps processes and best practices, and staying current with industry trends and emerging technologies to drive continuous improvement.
