About Business Line/Function :
The Team IT Cloud Foundation is part of PI Germany, IT Production – Application Services. The team is mainly responsible for the run and maintenance of a container platform, VMware platform as well as build tools like GitLab or Nexus. All of those applications are provided as a service to the customers. We see tribes or other teams in this case as our costumer. Along with the run and maintenance of those applications, the team is in charge of the whole automation ecosystem. Since end of 2023, we are also working with the internal cloud service dMZR. We are a dual-located team, distributed between Nuremberg and Munich.

The Cloud-subteam is responsible for the automated provisioning of cloud resources like databases, loadbalancer, OpenShift namespaces or virtual machines. In addition, the team is highly involved in the planning of applications which should be migrated to the dMZR.

For now, the automation is based on GitLab CI. Furthermore, there are a lot of different automations around the infrastructure provisioning. There are a lot of interfaces to our automation system, which has to be handled.

The goal is to implement a central orchestrator platform, which consolidates all automation processes. For that, we need someone to handle the implementation. In addition, the interface with the architects has to be optimized.
