Project Description

The goal of this project is to create, in a fully automated way, a platform based on Red Hat OpenShift for containerized applications. You will be evolving as the platform owner for our development team. This platform should contain all services to ensure a high availability of our applications, a secure environment in an automation way. This deployment must be standardized and easily reproducible. Once the platform is deployed, other product to facilitate cluster management and security will be deployed such as RedHat Advanced Cluster Manager, RedHat Advanced Cluster Security, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 

For a future enhancement, this platform should work in a synergy with others hosted in different cloud providers.

The project will be delivered in an agile way of working (SCRUM). We are looking for this project for DevOps and/or Cloud engineer profiles. A team of 2 or 3 interns will be created on a direct supervision of the practice manager. 

Our Approach

Devoteam will support you in guiding towards the correct documentation and learning material. A mentor will follow you, provide advice and review the work done. We encourage you to work both independently and in a team.

Work will be done at the offices in Diegem (occasionally work from home). Being in the office allows you to connect with Devoteam people and to experience a real-life working environment of a consultancy company.

The internship will start in Q1 2027. The end date of the full project depends on the agreed working hours of the different people in the team, because some people will work full time, others will only be working a couple of days a week.
