Openshift

2+ years hands-on OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt.

Deep virtualization skills : vSphere / ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM / Libvirt; strong Linux (RHEL), storage (Ceph / ODF), networking (LL7, SR-IOV, VLAN / VXLAN).

Proven experience migrating VMs at scale : discovery, tooling (Forklift), testing, and cutovers with minimal downtime.

Solid automation with Ansible and Terraform; CI / CD / GitOps (Argo CD, Tekton), YAML-heavy workflows.

Security / compliance experience : network segmentation, cert management, secrets, vulnerability management, audit readiness.

Technical Skills Architect, install, and operate OpenShift Virtualization (CNV) : VM / VMI lifecycle, templates, CDI / DataVolumes, live migration, hot-plug disks, performance profiles.

Design performant storage and networking for VMs : ODF / OCS / Ceph (RBD / CephFS), Multus, SR-IOV, bonding, CPU pinning, hugepages, NUMA / topology awareness.

Plan and execute migrations from VMware / Hyper-V using Forklift (and related tooling) : discovery, dependency mapping, cutover, rollback, and data consistency.

Build HA / DR / runbooks for VM workloads : backup / restore with Velero / OADP / Trilio, ODF-DR strategies, multi-AZ resilience.

Implement security and governance : SCC / PSA, image / OVA pipelines, certificate / PKI, secrets management, network isolation policies, compliance operator / OpenSCAP.

Establish observability for VMs and platform : Prometheus / Alertmanager, Grafana, EFK / Loki, SLOs / error budgets, capacity planning, chargeback / showback.

Automate lifecycle and operations : cluster / node tuning, performance profiles, day-2 upgrades of CNV / Operators, Ansible / Terraform pipelines, GitOps patterns.

Partner with app / infra / security teams to define standards, landing zones, golden images, and self-service workflows; mentor engineers and review designs.

Good to Have Skills Red Hat certs (EX280, RHCSA / RHCE), OpenShift Virtualization Specialist; vSphere / NSX certs.

Experience with ACM / OCM, Service Mesh, External Secrets, Vault, RHACS (StackRox).

Multi-cloud / on-prem exposure (AWS / Azure / GCP, vSphere / bare metal).
