Enterprise Db2 Automation Platform Development

I need a senior‐level database automation engineer (or a tight specialist team) to architect and code a reusable Ansible-based framework that drives the entire IBM Db2 infrastructure lifecycle. My goals are clear: boost performance and scalability, cut day-to-day operational effort, and embed security and compliance controls from the very first commit.

The scope spans everything from bare-metal or cloud host build-out to release-ready hand-off:

• Infrastructure provisioning and OS hardening
• Silent Db2 installs, instance and database creation, configuration management, upgrades, fix packs
• HADR and Pacemaker high-availability deployment paths
• Health-check orchestration, backup / recovery workflows, and security-audit automation
• Idempotent playbooks with variables and roles that make adaptation for future clients straightforward
• Inline documentation, Markdown runbooks, and sample CI/CD pipeline hooks

Acceptance criteria
• All tasks delivered as modular Ansible roles with clear dependencies
• Idempotent reruns produce zero unintended changes
• Code passes molecule / ansible-lint tests provided in the repo
• A demo run on fresh VMs spins up a two-node HADR cluster, executes a test backup/restore, and outputs a compliance report
• Comprehensive README and architecture diagram explain how to extend the framework

If this reads like the kind of deep-dive automation challenge you excel at, let’s talk technical details and timelines.
