Your background is from networks or network security prior to cloud, and you applied your on prem knowledge to cloud and automation in your career. You have used various VPN designs to connect cloud and enterprise networks including Cloud native public and private VPN services. You have strong BGP and static routing experience because of how cloud propagates routes, and stronger DNS skills because clouds rely on DNS more than IP addresses much of the time. Cloud networking does not scale well, so you evaluate and work with various automation solutions instead of using the cloud interface. You are familiar with native cloud automation services, but for networks that need to integrate clouds you decided on an agnostic framework like Ansible. Your command line experience probably leads you to use Azure CLI and AWS CLI instead of the ansible modules because the CLI gets better support from the cloud. Working with automation solutions led you to gain stronger Linux and command line experience, maybe extending to containers. Your Linux and open-source experience may have extended automation capabilities into scheduled automation, email coordination, limited web development or even API development to interface with cloud services. Maybe you extended your automation skills into network devices as well as cloud. Some of your cloud operational work includes coordinating cloud support tickets with vendor support tickets or troubleshooting network access with native cloud tools like Log Analytics or non-native tools like SumoLogic or updating cloud network maps with changes. Most operational work is using automation to perform common requests and keeping on top of issues. You are a go-to person on your team, and when you lead a project, you know how to structure the project to keep everyone involved up to status and demonstrate progress. You know how to identify project risk and escalate at the right time to meet schedule deliveries. Your job is constantly restructured as automation capabilities change how you manage and operate the cloud and the enterprise. You take initiative to increase scale and depth of automation within and across teams. You have autonomy to do your work because your peers and manager trusts your judgement. You keep your work and status visible, demonstrate progress, and escalate information and issues when you know the team or manager needs to know. If you decide on a new technical direction due to new information, you inform and consult with the team, and manager so everyone is aware. You do not get stuck on a problem for too long without everyone knowing about it. The position requires someone who understands cloud infrastructure, can apply their understanding to automate operational processes, and persistent in driving cultural change within and across teams within the enterprise. Cloud understanding include infrastructure rollout, operation, and troubleshooting in Azure, OCI, and AWS clouds. Automation tools must include Ansible and broad knowledge of other automation tools with their strengths and weaknesses.
