OVHcloud//: Cloud_Support_Engineer
2023/02 -- Today
Technical support for the “Cloud” universe of products. This ranges from “Baremetal” (VPS, Dedicated servers, etc) to Public Cloud services (OpenStack, Kubernetes, AI and Machine Learning solutions, DBaaS, Data analytics, etc). Direct client support regarding issues within the infrastructure, like hardware problems in the physical server, incidents within the rack or datacenter, configuration issues, OVHcloud specific compatibilities, etc. Additionally, to special customers, we offered a consulting service where we helped adapt their goal to finer technologies. For example scaling from smaller re-selling solutions like Plesk to Kubernetes. I did also train our team on different technologies like containerization, Kubernetes, developer tools and linux kernel features.
