Implementation and automation of high-scale orders on the HP server platform

Technician

I have a lot of experience with Terraform especially with following cloud providers: GCP, AWS and Digital Ocean. Tipically I do not even use GUI and I start the implementation process right in Terraform. I believe that infrastructure as a code is the only reliable way how to manage cloud environments at scale. 

Nowadays, Kubernetes is a huge topic. I am always trying to think twice before the actual implementation as it can simply become an overkill for smaller projects. On the other hand I really love Kubernetes  as it really simplifies operations and all the CI/CD processes! 

And BTW, I always prefer managed solutions like GKE, EKS or Digital Ocean Kubernetes service. 

I've spent almost 8 years in the server factory implementing thousands of server platforms, VMware based virtualization platforms and HPC clusters. I'm experienced with low-level automation written in Shell/Bash and I also have a lot of experience with tools like Ansible, VMware PowerCLI or Powershell itself. Such experience is really beneficial even now when I'm living in the cloud age.
