• Administer and manage Kubernetes clusters, ensuring high availability, security, and performance.
• Work with on premise servers to deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes clusters.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications using Kubernetes and associated tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab).
• Collaborate with development and DevOps teams to design and implement cloud-native solutions.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Kubernetes clusters, networking, storage, and application deployments.
• Ensure compliance with security policies and best practices for Kubernetes and containerized environments.
• Conduct regular backups, disaster recovery drills, and high-availability configurations.
• Stay up to date with new Kubernetes releases, industry trends, and best practices.
• Scaling: Design and implement strategies for scaling NGINX to handle increased traffic and growing infrastructure needs.
• Documentation: Maintain thorough documentation of NGINX configurations, best practices, troubleshooting steps, and any changes made to the infrastructure.
• Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Implement monitoring tools to track NGINX performance (e.g., response times, server health) and troubleshoot any issues that arise.
• Security: Configure security measures, including web application firewalls (WAF), DDoS mitigation, and access controls to secure NGINX and the underlying applications.
• Performance Optimization: Fine-tune NGINX for maximum efficiency, implementing caching, rate limiting, and compression to reduce latency and improve response times.
• NGINX Configuration: Configure and manage NGINX for web serving, load balancing, reverse proxying, and caching in both production and staging environments.
