Platform & System Operation

• Operation and administration of virtualized Linux (RHEL) environments, including lifecycle management of VMs.

• Standardization of new Linux distributions and RHEL major upgrades (planning, implementation, documentation)
• Monitoring and performance optimization of complex systems and services
• Automated installation and maintenance of web applications and databases in coordination with our customers.

How is the collaboration as a new member of Linux Delivery?

• Close collaboration and coordination with development and specialist teams to continuously improve our IT infrastructure and delivery processes.
