Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience with Ansible for automated configuration management and deployments
• Ansible is an open-source agentless IT automation engine used for configuration managmeent, application deployment, and orchestration. It simplifies complex workflows by using YAML-based “playbooks” that describe system states in plain Englis. It runs via SSH or WinRM without needing software agents on managed nodes
• CI/CD Pipeline Expertise: Proficiency in building and securing automated pipelines using GitLab CI/CD
• A CI/CD pipeline is an automated workflow that bridges development and operations teams to accelerate software delivery. It automates the building, testing, and deployment of code changes - integrating them continuously - to ensure rapid, reliable, and high-quality software releases. It reduces manual errors, allows early bug detection, and enables frequent updates
• Security and Compliance: Knowledge of implementing and auditing security controls, including STIGs, and integrating security scanning tools (SAST/DAST)
• Advanced Containerization: Deep expertise in container orchestration with Kubernetes and implementing container security best practices
• Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Originally designed by Google, it functions as a portable, extensible, production-grade container orchestrator, managing workloads across clusters of physical or virtual machines in cloud or on-premises environments
• Source Control Management: Proficient with Git for version control and collaborative development
• Git is widely used, open-source distributed version control system (DVCS) that tracks changes to files (like source code, documents, and designs) over time. It allows individuals and teams to manage project history, collaborate efficiently, and revert to previous versions if needed
