We are seeking a highly skilled Cloud Integration Specialist to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in designing, implementing, and managing cloud-based integration solutions and containerized applications.

1. The objectives of this assignment are to onboard a Microsoft Azure Integration and Container Specialist who focuses on blending expertise in Azure services, containers, and integration technologies to enable scalable, secure, and efficient services.

1. To achieve this, the Right Integration Pattern (RIP) will be used, primarily consisting of Microsoft APIM, Azure ServiceBus, and Azure Container Apps. Additional integration software components include Azure Data Factory, temporal.io, and Spring workflow.
2. Develop and implement using the RIP using Azure Container Applications. This project is strategically important as it aims to leverage Azure's scalable and reliable services to create a robust integration framework.

1. The RIP Developer will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing robust and scalable RIP solutions to support digital transformation initiatives. The consultant will work closely with the project team to understand requirements, develop technical specifications, and ensure the delivery of high-quality RIP systems.
2. Analyze project requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
3. Design and develop RIP software components and modules.
4. Conduct thorough testing and debugging of RIP systems to ensure functionality and performance.
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate RIP solutions with existing systems.
6. Provide technical support and troubleshooting for RIP-related issues.
7. Document all development processes, code changes, and system configurations.
8. Ensure compliance with standards and best practices in software development.
9. Train and mentor junior developers on RIP technologies and methodologies.
10. The consultant is expected to deliver a fully functional RIP system that meets the project objectives, along with comprehensive documentation and support materials.

Detailed Tasks/Expected Output:

• Requirement Analysis and Planning:
• Conduct a thorough analysis of the project requirements for developing RIP Azure container applications.
• Design and Architecture:
• Create detailed design documents that include the logical grouping of Azure services within the Azure Resource Group (RG) for particular projects or initiative.
• Development and Configuration:
• Develop and configure ACA to host containerized applications and microservices, ensuring the use of dapr for state management, service invocation, and event-driven architecture.
• Implement KEDA for event-driven autoscaling of Kubernetes workloads.
• Set up and configure ASB for message queues and publish-subscribe topics to ensure reliable and scalable communication between applications.
• API Management:
• Utilize Azure API Management (APIM) to create, publish, secure, monitor, and analyze APIs.
• Ensure the APIs are well-documented and accessible to API consumers, providing a seamless integration with backend services.
• Testing and Quality Assurance:
• Conduct relevant testing of the developed applications and services to ensure they meet the specified requirements and performance standards.
• Implement automated testing procedures to validate the functionality and reliability of the integration patterns.
• Deployment and Monitoring:
• Set-up infrastructure using Infra-as-Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation).
• Deploy the developed applications and services to the Azure platform, ensuring proper configuration and resource allocation within the Azure Resource Group.
• Set up monitoring and logging mechanisms to track the performance and health of the applications and services (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack).
• Documentation and Training:
• Prepare detailed documentation covering the design, development, configuration, and deployment processes.
• Provide training sessions and support to the project team and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and effective use of the developed solutions.
