Cloud Solutions Architect/ Sr Platform Architect (AWS + VMware + HPC)
ETX (Enterprise Technology Exchange) Dependency for LSF, VPN Required ETX is a prerequisite for LSF (Load Sharing Facility) and requires a site-to-site VPN to be operational before it can function. Dependency Chain: VPN ETX LSF Resource Requirements: • VPN gateway or AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections in each relevant region • Sufficient bandwidth on the VPN for ETX communication overhead • Network ACLs and security groups configured to permit ETX traffic flows • ETX services configured over the VPN tunnel • LSF then leverages ETX for job scheduling and resource management • Cloud Network Architecture Design and implementation of AWS Site-to-Site VPN, VPC peering, Transit Gateway, routing tables, and firewall/NACL rules • Enterprise Integration / Middleware ETX installation, configuration, and integration over VPN tunnels; ensuring reliable message exchange between on-premises and cloud environments • HPC / Batch Computing IBM Spectrum LSF deployment, cluster configuration, job scheduling policies, and integration with ETX for workload orchestration EVS (Elastic VMware Service) EVS provides VMware Cloud Foundation on AWS, enabling lift-and-shift of VMware-based workloads to AWS without re-platforming. Resource Requirements: • EVS cluster provisioning in target AWS regions • vCenter, ESXi host, and vSAN configuration within the EVS environment • Network connectivity between EVS and native AWS services (VPC integration, ENI attachments) • VM migration tooling (HCX or equivalent) for workload mobility from on-premises VMware to EVS • Licensing alignment for VMware components • VMware Administration / vSphere Engineering vCenter management, ESXi host configuration, vSAN storage policies, VM lifecycle management, and DRS/HA cluster tuning • AWS EVS / VMware Cloud Specialization EVS cluster deployment, SDDC configuration, integration with AWS native services (S3, EBS, VPC), and hybrid connectivity design Migration & Workload Mobility VMware HCX deployment and configuration, bulk VM migration planning, cutover orchestration, and rollback procedures •
