Automate backup, replication, and recovery processes for containerized applications, Kubernetes clusters, and virtual machines hosted within the AECC environment. Configure and manage Kubernetes-native backup tools to ensure seamless integration with Kubernetes clusters, including support for persistent volumes, CSI (Container Storage Interface), and application-aware backups. As new applications are hosted on the AECC solution, utilize Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for the configuration and administration of backups within the hosted customer enclaves. Provide daily administration of backup tools, including patching, upgrading, monitoring, and optimizing backup schedules. Monitor utilization of backup resources and notify the AECC Lead when additional resources will be required. Harden backup tools and processes per commercial best practices and required government cybersecurity controls. Troubleshoot and perform root cause analysis of backup-related issues across Kubernetes clusters, containers, and virtual machines. Develop and maintain backup and recovery process documentation (system diagrams, network topology, software configurations, device configurations, standard operating procedures). Provide on-call support for triage and resolution of after-hours production incidents. Make recommendations for improvements to backup and recovery capabilities and services provided to hosted applications.
