What You'll Do: Infrastructure Automation: Design, implement, and maintain automated infrastructure provisioning and configuration management using tools like Ansible to ensure consistency and scalability. Monitoring and Alerting: Set up monitoring and logging systems to proactively detect and address potential issues, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in environments like on-prem Prometheus/Thanos, Grafana Cloud, and Grafana Cloud Loki.
