The end customer is looking for someone to help them set up an automated patch and upgrade process.
The end customer's team is responsible for operating, patching, and upgrading a suite of services that use tools like Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Kubernetes, Mesos/Marathon, MySQL

• Immediate remediation for possible critical security risk
• Review of the current patch and upgrade process
• Design of a highly automated patch and upgrade process
• Implementation of the new patch and upgrade process
• Implementation of metrics collection system, dashboards, etc.
The freelancer should have the following skills:
• Deep understanding of virtual infrastructure based on VMWare and OpenStack
• Experience in operating different Linux Distributions (e.g., Debian, Ubuntu)
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL data stores (e.g., MySQL, Cassandra, Elasticsearch)
• Experience with Kafka
• Experience provisioning and configuration management solutions (e.g., Puppet, Salt, Terraform)
• Knowledge about monitoring systems, such as Sensu, and time series metrics (e.g. Graphite, Prometheus)
• Schedulers (K8s, Docker, Nomad)
