Openshift

3 years Kubernetes (OpenShift 4.x);
2 years hands-on OpenShift Virtualization/KubeVirt.
Deep virtualization skills: vSphere/ESXi Hyper-V KVM/Libvirt; strong Linux (RHEL) storage (Ceph/ODF) networking (LL7 SR-IOV VLAN/VXLAN).
Proven experience migrating VMs at scale: discovery tooling (Forklift) testing and cutovers with minimal downtime.
Solid automation with Ansible and Terraform; CI/CD/GitOps (Argo CD Tekton) YAML-heavy workflows.
Security/compliance experience: network segmentation cert management secrets vulnerability management audit readiness.
Technical Skills Architect install and operate OpenShift Virtualization (CNV): VM/VMI lifecycle templates CDI/DataVolumes live migration hot-plug disks performance profiles.
Design performant storage and networking for VMs: ODF/OCS/Ceph (RBD/CephFS) Multus SR-IOV bonding CPU pinning hugepages NUMA/topology awareness.
Plan and execute migrations from VMware/Hyper-V using Forklift (and related tooling): discovery dependency mapping cutover rollback and data consistency.
Build HA/DR/runbooks for VM workloads: backup/restore with Velero/OADP/Trilio ODF-DR strategies multi-AZ resilience.
Implement security and governance: SCC/PSA image/OVA pipelines certificate/PKI secrets management network isolation policies compliance operator/OpenSCAP.
Establish observability for VMs and platform: Prometheus/Alertmanager Grafana EFK/Loki SLOs/error budgets capacity planning chargeback/showback.
Automate lifecycle and operations: cluster/node tuning performance profiles day-2 upgrades of CNV/Operators Ansible/Terraform pipelines GitOps patterns.
Partner with app/infra/security teams to define standards landing zones golden images and self-service workflows; mentor engineers and review designs.
