  Context After a very good experience with the Altice team as an OPS Cloud engineer, I wanted to reinforce my knowledge about Linux and improve my sharing and teaching skills before taking back the cloud administration which I tend to prefer. Missions > Main mission: Creating ansible playbooks to provide servers. I had to provide all types of servers but mostly Linux-based. It was usually web servers but always provided with automation tools such as Ansible and Vagrant. The purpose was to keep track in the codebase of all services provided but also to be able to create the stack on local with Vagrant or company-wide environment on the locally managed VSphere servers. > Skill sharing and accompaniment around code management. My second mission was to share the knowledge I had learned through managing big cloud infrastructures as code. As the infrastructure as code was a new thing for the team I was able to give feedback on the way it was implemented. I gave training and write best practices documents regarding the use of GIT and code quality. > Creating Ansible security playbook from CISBenchmark guideline. Finally, my last big mission for the IT team was to automate the provisioning of security rules provided by the CISBenchmark company. Also as in every project, I worked on as a Freelance I write down all my knowledge to be passed on to the team. Conclusion It was a very good experience, the team was great and I was able to improve myself on the domains I wanted. > Administration Linux as code and training on the new DevOps tools such as GIT, Ansible, Vagrant, and security.

  Context The experience in infrastructure as code using Ansible and the knowledge in Bash automation I gained through my experience at Spotcoffee enabled me to enter this job. Indeed the company was creating a new cloud-based CMS (with AWS) and everything was to be created with automation in mind using infra-as-code tools like Terraform. Missions > Main mission: Creation of continuous integration pipeline with AWS code suite and Packer. The main mission I had been hired for was the creation of an entirely automated continuous integration pipeline for the servers of the new CMS. First, the server's image had to be created with Ansible and Packer. Then using the AWS Code suite tools such as CodeBuild and CodePipeline I could completely automate the process. Like everything else, all the resources were created on AWS through Terraform. > Administration of Cloud infrastructure « as code » on AWS with Terraform. I was working on various other parts of the infrastructure code base to get used to the AWS environment and the different services such as AWS compute, AWS VPC, cloud front, route53, lambda, etc… Also, I created some management tools to gain time on the maintenance of some recurring tasks. > Preparation and monitoring of the migration to the new AWS cloud infrastructure with Datadog. I had to prepare the migration from the old to the new CMS. Before the migration, charge tests had to be run to know the performance of the newly created services. The monitoring of every component was created with Datadog, I had been assigned to the image part consisting of 3 components: Cloudfront, API, and Lambda. I created the dashboards and relevant alerts while doing the charge tests using Vegeta. Conclusion It was the best experience of my career, the technical environment was extremely interesting and I learned a lot. > Infrastructure as code, AWS, CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform, Bash, Python, GIT, RedHat.
