Build new servers with Terraform and Puppet

Replace older versions of Windows Server to newer images

Monitoring resources and troubleshooting usage (CPU, memory, disk space, etc)

Microsoft SQL Server – in addition to database maintenance activities, most of the time spent on SQL server is to investigate or answer customer requests / escalations

Using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

Writing and running SQL queries to get and update data

Query SQL data to check processing (check message processing or indexing step)

Update the data in the database as needed for customer escalations or daily processes

Monitor and troubleshoot SQL performance (disk latency, blocked sessions, caching issues, reindex needed, long running sessions, stored procedure issues, and so on)

Monitor SQL backups that are going to Azure Blob Storage (full backups done once a week, incremental back ups every 15 mins)

Monitor the SQL Always-On High Availability (HA) cluster (ensure replication in sync, fail over and fail back during maintenances, etc)

Patching and SQL Server upgrades

Monitor disk space usage, and add storage as needed (add disks in Azure, add to SQL clusters, add to HA, etc)

Puppet – desired state configuration tool running on all Windows and Linux servers

Running Puppet manually for deployments and hotfixes

Review and update Puppet manifests

Troubleshoot Puppet failures

Updates to Puppet manifests for minor changes (use GitLab to create a branch, create a Merge Request, and get the Merge Request reviewed and approved)

Deployments

Help deploy quarterly releases or hotfixes (merge approved GitLab Merge Requests and run Puppet, ensure new packages are deployed properly)
