SUMMARY

• Deployed Docker Containers using AWS Auto Scaling and Kubernetes configured Cloud Watch resource monitoring.
• Used BASH Shell / Python and BOTO3 to automate launching / modification and deletion of following AWS resources, Elastic Load Balancers, EC2 Instances, Internet Gateway’s and Security Groups. Also scripted creation of VPC and associated CIDR Block components while creating public and private subnets and Internet Gateways. Using BASH Shell automated mapping of Elastic Block Storage and S3 Bucket creation and access control list. Automated IAM User / Groups and Role creation / deletion.
• Scripted SSH Public Key distribution to new and legacy server instances. Automated IT infrastructure wide OS inventory reports used to make infrastructure wide upgrade and patching and software installation / updates decisions. Automate Security Group ingress port and IP access controls. Modified YMAL and JSON manifest parameters using PERL and SED scripts.
• Used Cloudformation and AWS CLI during Stack creation and AWS resource deployment
• Automate accessed for 2000+ servers to retrieve specific user information, server security configuration specific server log data and SUDOer’s files. Process all retrieved information on a central host with my home grown BASH / PERL and SED scripts then generated reports used to standardize IT infrastructure consisting of AIX Linux, Solaris and HPUX. Created a Enterprise Backup Notification system for the Operations Staff by exporting ServiceNow associated tables daily from the Oracle Database then creating or updating table data in MySQL Database then created real time email event notification which are forwarded to specific groups depending the type of failure, IT Environment ie (Production/ Development)
• As my employment history chronology itemizes I have 20+ years supporting Linux and AIX IT environments
• Some exposure to Pivotal Cloud Fondry’s BOSH CLI and Buildpacks.
