High-Availability Bare-Metal AWS EKS Anywhere Deployment & Support
Budget: £20,000 – £50,000 GBP
seeking a highly experienced infrastructure expert or agency to deploy, configure, and manage a specialized on-premises Kubernetes environment. This project involves building three bare-metal AWS EKS Anywhere clusters to host a mission-critical trading platform. The engagement includes the complete deployment phase, thorough testing, knowledge transfer, and one year of post-go-live maintenance and support.
Hardware and RHEL licenses will be provided by the client. Key Responsibilities:
OS & Network Prep: Image RedHat 9.7 OS on bare-metal servers, configure network bonding across 3 NICs (10G), and set up secured routing tables for specific VLANs.
Cluster Provisioning: Build and configure three EKS Anywhere clusters (Production HO, Production DR, and Test/Dev) across 38 physical nodes.
Dependency Setup: Install layered software on management nodes (PostgreSQL 16.11, OpenJDK) and configure an on-premise EKS-Anywhere image registry.
Deployment Assistance: Work alongside the application vendor (Nasdaq) to deploy their containerized trading platform onto the newly built K8s infrastructure.
Documentation & Training: Provide comprehensive documentation and conduct knowledge transfer sessions for the internal IT team.
Ongoing Support: Provide 1 year of continuous maintenance, troubleshooting, and zero-downtime patching after the system goes live.
Technical Environment:
Infrastructure: Bare-metal physical servers (Intel Xeon Gold, 512GB RAM)
OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.7
Containerization: AWS EKS Anywhere (v0.18+), Kubernetes (v1.34)
Network: Active-Active DC/DR setup (1ms latency)
Database: PostgreSQL 16.11
