Confidential

DevOps Engineer

Responsibilities:

• The automated deployment script would deploy these multiple web properties to multiple environments (including Dev, QA, and Production) - all triggered via individual Jenkins jobs; by clicking the build button, Jenkins would execute the python script that in turn would first do a chef search for all the servers on this stack that are tagged and match this environment and website, and then login to all the servers using the Python Fabric module and execute chef-client on all the servers tagged as ‘Web’ servers. Subsequently, it would clear Drupal cache on any server tagged as ‘Admin’ (if the option was checked in Jenkins) as well as clear Confidential cache and multiple Akamai or Cloudfront Confidential ’s.
• So in summary, with the push of a single button, I would automatically deploy the entire site to all the servers on the stack including chef-client runs on all web and Admin servers, clearing Drupal cache, clearing multiple Confidential caches, and purging multiple Akamai Confidential ’s, and report everything verbosely into the Jenkins console output log.
• Automate the creation of instances on AWS with the push of a button, using the chef knife command, which contained all the parameters to spin up the instance including instance flavor, AMI ID, security group, subnet, chef server, chef environment, role/recipes in the run-list, etc. In this way instances were spun up from a convenient and easy-to-use web-interface.
• The eb-based Control Panel also tracked all current servers (700+) and displayed them on a table for easy searching. This list included servers across multiple AWS accounts, as well as physical and virtual servers in a datacenter, and showed their IP addresses, related DNS hostnames, security groups, chef recipes, and more. an intranet web-interface to manage clearing (purging) multiple Confidential caches by specifying a Confidential .
• Created multi-ping interface, where you can to ping multiple web-servers of a stack on one screen.
