Openshift Developer

OpenShift Container Platform clusters directly on physical servers (bare metal) environments, requiring expertise in provisioning bare metal hardware, configuring network settings, and utilizing OpenShift's "Installer Provisioned Infrastructure (IPI)" to deploy and maintain a fully functional cluster on the physical hardware, often involving tasks like hardware inspection, network configuration, and cluster scaling on bare metal machines. 

Key responsibilities might include:-

• Bare Metal Infrastructure Management:

Assessing and preparing physical hardware (servers) for OpenShift deployment, including network configuration, disk partitioning, and BIOS settings. 

• OpenShift Installation:

Utilizing the OpenShift installer to provision and deploy OpenShift clusters on bare metal hosts

• Cluster Configuration:

Defining and managing OpenShift cluster components like control plane nodes, worker nodes, and network policies on bare metal infrastructure. 

• Bare Metal Operator Management:

Utilizing the "Bare Metal Operator" within OpenShift to monitor and manage the health of bare metal hosts within the cluster. 

• Network Integration:

Configuring network connectivity between OpenShift cluster nodes and external networks, including load balancers and ingress controllers. 

• Troubleshooting and Support:

Identifying and resolving issues related to OpenShift deployments on bare metal, including hardware compatibility, network connectivity, and cluster stability. 

Required skills:

• Deep understanding of OpenShift Container Platform architecture and deployment methodologies
• Expertise in bare metal provisioning and configuration
• Proficiency with Linux system administration and networking concepts
• Knowledge of containerization technologies like Docker
• Familiarity with Kubernetes concepts and YAML configuration
