• Perform cluster health checks using Prism and Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC), investigate alerts, and resolve operational issues.
• Plan and execute supported AOS, AHV, Prism, and firmware upgrades using appropriate lifecycle tools and change controls.
• Manage VM lifecycle operations, host maintenance, live migration, and resource allocation.
• Troubleshoot issues across AHV, Controller VMs (CVMs), storage, networking, and guest operating systems.
• Configure and validate snapshots, replication, backup integrations, and disaster recovery procedures according to customer requirements.
• Investigate incidents, document root causes, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Coordinate with Nutanix support and customer teams to resolve technical escalations.

• Manage cluster lifecycle activities, including upgrades, node maintenance, scaling, and health checks.
• Configure namespaces, RBAC, resource quotas, services, ingress, and persistent storage.
• Integrate Kubernetes with infrastructure networking, CSI‑based storage, monitoring, logging, and backup solutions.
• Troubleshoot workload scheduling, pod failures, connectivity, storage, and resource utilization issues.
• Support Kubernetes workloads running on Nutanix infrastructure and follow platform‑specific operational best practices.

Consulting, migration, and automation

• Gather customer requirements and translate them into practical implementation and operational plans.
• Support workload migrations to Nutanix AHV, including assessment, planning, testing, cutover, and post‑migration validation.
• Automate repeatable administration tasks using PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ansible, or platform APIs.
• Prepare deployment documentation, operational runbooks, and handover materials.
• Conduct knowledge‑transfer sessions and communicate progress, risks, and technical issues clearly to stakeholders.

• Hands‑on Nutanix AHV experience, including deployment, VM administration, troubleshooting, and day‑2 operations.
• A minimum of 2 years of hands‑on Kubernetes experience, including cluster administration and troubleshooting, not only application deployment.
• Strong working knowledge of Nutanix AOS, Prism Element, Prism Central, CVMs, and hyperconverged infrastructure concepts.
• Experience performing Nutanix health checks, upgrades, capacity management, and incident resolution.
• Sound understanding of Kubernetes architecture and resources, including pods, deployments, services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, persistent volumes, and StorageClasses.
