Certified Kubernetes Administrator? Join our Team. It’s a Good Thing.
I typically write Medium posts that are technical in nature for our AT&T Cloud-Native Labs Tech Blog, but I wanted to write a piece to talk about a really great opportunity, on a great team, at a truly poignant time for our company.
Our AT&T TV Platform team is comprised of veteran kubernetes admins (with CKA Certifications) that have spent the last 4 years building a really great platform. We run a lot of kubernetes clusters in the public cloud and we plan in 10-week increments to enhance the tools that manage the lifecycle of services on those clusters. They also keep those clusters upgraded, healthy and as best as possible, self-healing. They receive 100s of millions of requests per day from paying customers — and our #1 goal is to keep these clusters always running.
Our talented kubernetes Developers/Admins/Ops team members build applications and APIs that interact with our kube clusters using technologies like Go, React, Cloud Events, Kafka. We do our best to open-source as much as possible: https://github.com/att-cloudnative-labs such as our Kubernetes Custom-controller and CRD for externalizing configuration of Kubernetes deployments, Kubernetes admission webhook application, or CRD & Controller for Provisioning TLS Certificates in Various Formats on Kubernetes.
Across our OpenVideo Platform, we have 15k+ pods running at any one time with a vast array of workloads: regular stateless services, singletons, stateful workloads, daemonsets, cron jobs and we use a large array of monitoring tools to make sure the control planes and their workloads are healthy.
We have a truly end-to-end ownership mindset on this team, and the engineers are given 100% responsibility and oversight of the kubernetes infrastructure and pipeline tools: Lab and Production.
We are hiring to grow the team in order to accomplish our hectic 3-year roadmap. We are integrating Flatcar Container Linux, Istio, OPA, Multi-Region, KNative, and so many other technologies and concepts it makes the mind hurt a bit. But these are not put together hap-hazardly. We spend a lot of time reviewing, evaluating, soaking our enhancements to make sure they impact our system in a positive way.
Our company is in a really unique position to participate in the Streaming TV (r)evolution — not many companies have the content, distribution and talent to compete in this arena, and AT&T is a great steward of our platform. Everyone on our team is truly excited each and every day with the challenges they are responsible for, and are given every opportunity to knock it out of the park for our customers.
