DevOps - Microservices Consultant

Responsibilities:

• Migrate the 400 development teams at pearson.com to a cloud agnostic microservices architecture.
• First we are designing survey questions used to assessing the current state of each project.
• Next we catalog issues, concerns & roadblocks to be addressed in the process; then quantify survey data to calculate a migration score.
• Higher scores = easier to migrate.
• Lower scores = more difficult.
• Once sorted by difficulty, the list of apps and supporting data is presented to stakeholders in a Global Microservices Migration Readiness Assessment Report.
• This report drives the migration strategy, approach and schedule for both Senior Management and microservices implementation team.
• It is the master tool for defining next steps, backlog items, and implementation priority for each of the 400 dev teams.
• Finally I am creating a roadshow.
• I use the report data items to build tools and working examples of how to automate deployment; configure logging, monitoring, alerting, rollback, testing and autoscaling of monolithic apps in the new environment. Migrating to microservices is projected to yield a cloud hosting average cost savings of 40%, Test coverage expected to increase by 60% on average.
• There are many other positively impacted KPI’s; ROI, and cost savings as well. Tools used: Stackstorm, Kubernetes, Ruby, Python, Golang, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Javascript, Jenkins, ELK Stack, Kafka, Grafana, Consul, Appdynamics, MongoDB, Cassandra, AWS Managed Services, Google Compute Engine, Azure.
