Project name: IBM Services for Managed Applications
Project description: IBM Services for Managed Applications is designed
for clients who need a production-ready managed cloud environment to help
improve time to market, reduce capital expenses and enhance operational
efficiencies. The services can help provide clients with access to a more
agile, cost-effective cloud infrastructure to reduce the need for significant
new investments in their IT infrastructures. In addition, faster provisioning
of standardized, virtual resources to help improve operational efficiencies
and time to market can be enabled. Unlike many cloud competitors, IBM
provides a fully managed solution that includes monitoring and management
of operating systems, databases and middle-ware to help reduce operational
risk. This is done through unique service-level agreements at the virtualmachine
level designed to support up-time for your critical applications. The
portfolio offers standard disaster recovery capabilities, and an end-to-end
migration solution that includes planning, migration and deployment into the
IBM Services for Managed Applications environment, helping you achieve a
faster return on your cloud investment with reduced risks and costs.
Roles & responsibilities:
* Automate SAP High Availability solution deployment on SUSE
servers using Pacemaker clusters, DRBD software, Chef software
and Ruby language
* Test/Debug/Fix solution in production environment
* Assist Delivery teams to use the existing automation and gather
feedback about the features they need
Tools/methods used: Chef configuration management software, Git version
control software, Ruby/Bash scripting languages, SLES operating system,
Pacemaker cluster software, DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device)
software.
