How does a System Engineer work at Unic?
The System Engineer's goal is to automate as many of his installations as possible and to document everything. The automation helps to reduce the documentation effort and makes it possible to scale better. For the automation we rely on Ansible as central automation framework and on Powershell, Bash-, as well as Python-Scripts and AWS-CLI.
The automation does not stop at the installation, but continues through the operation. Here we support the operation with ChatOps commands and event handling.
Depending on the requirements, the system is provided on a local VMware hypervisor, cubernetes or in the desired public cloud. We install the applications on the operating system, where they run most stable and performant from our experience. In our case this is either Windows or Linux.
Our processes are based on ITIL and our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is ISO 27001 certified. The central documentation is done in Atlassian Confluence as Wiki and in Git.
