Assignment Brief
We're looking for a contractor to support us in building a new capability of running Oracle Databases on Redhat Linux.
This will be a contract for up to 6 months with the following deliverables:
1.Work with our existing Linux Engineers to generate appropriate server builds from Redhat Satellite and Puppet to host Oracle databases; including knowledge transfer so that these engineers can manage the build process and server changes as part of ongoing service.
2.Work with our existing DBA Team to automate installation and management of Oracle 18+ onto these Servers via Puppet and Ansible; including knowledge transfer so that these engineers can manage and update these processes.
3.As part of our Student Lifecycle Programme support and guide these teams, and colleagues from our Application Development & Application Support teams through the migration of Oracle 12c databases supporting our Student Information Management System (Ellucian Banner) from Solaris 11 on SPARC to Redhat Linux.
Our assumption is that this work will start via remote working, until the client begins to move staff back onto campus later in the year.
