Primary Skill Required:

• Terraform
• Ansible
• GitHub
• Linux Components
• Backup

Overview:

A DevOps engineer with expertise in OCI, Linux, Terraform, and Ansible is skilled in automating infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and deployment, specifically within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) ecosystem. They utilize tools like Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and Ansible for configuration management, while also leveraging their Linux administration skills. Backups using Terraform are also likely a part of their responsibilities, ensuring data integrity and disaster recovery capabilities.

Key Skills and Responsibilities:

OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) Expertise:

• Proficiency in designing, implementing, and managing infrastructure resources within OCI, including virtual machines, networks, storage, and compute services.

Linux Administration:

• Strong knowledge of Linux operating systems, including system configuration, package management, and troubleshooting.

Terraform:

• Experience in using Terraform to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration, including deploying and managing resources on OCI.

Ansible:

• Familiarity with Ansible for configuration management and automating tasks on Linux servers, potentially including OCI instances.

Backup and Recovery:

• Understanding of backup strategies and tools, likely including using Terraform for managing backups and ensuring data protection.

DevOps Practices:

• Experience with DevOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, and automation to streamline software development and deployment workflows.

Automation:

• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, etc.) and using automation tools to streamline repetitive tasks and improve efficiency.

Examples of Tasks Performed by Such an Engineer:

• Automating the deployment of OCI virtual machines using Terraform.
• Configuring servers within OCI using Ansible to install software, set up users, and configure services.
• Setting up automated backup processes for OCI resources using Terraform.
• Troubleshooting issues related to OCI infrastructure or Linux-based applications.
• Developing and maintaining scripts to automate tasks such as user creation, disk space monitoring, or system updates on Linux servers.
• Integrating CI/CD pipelines for deploying applications to OCI using Terraform and Ansible.
