MODERNIZATION FLOW

RHEL 7 / legacy apps

validated pipeline stages

supported & documented

CORE SERVICES

Defined packages for high-consequence infrastructure work.

RHEL 7 Modernization Assessment

Assess legacy Red Hat environments, application dependencies, migration risks, security concerns, and recommended modernization paths.

RHEL Application Migration

Plan and execute controlled application migrations from legacy RHEL systems to supported environments, including validation, rollback planning, and documentation.

GitLab CI/CD Pipeline Implementation

Design and implement maintainable GitLab pipelines using shell or Docker executors, secure variables, automated testing, deployment stages, and rollback procedures.

WHY ENGAGE

Senior engineering context, delivered with a clear boundary.

The focus is not on adding another long-term layer of operations. It is on making a defined modernization or delivery outcome dependable, explainable, and ready to own.

Senior-level DevOps and DevSecOps experience

Production Linux modernization and secure automation

GitLab, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, AWS, and Azure

Regulated and government environment awareness

Defined deliverables, documentation, and knowledge transfer

HOW ENGAGEMENTS WORK
