Compute Architect

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills Architecture & Design- L4 Cloud Compute Expertise - GCP Rubrik IBM storage AIX Active Directory Hybrid cloud architecture (on-prem + cloud integration) Cloud migration strategy (lift & shift, re-platform, re-architect) Kubernetes / OpenShift architecture VMware → OpenShift / Kubernetes migration Roles & Responsibilities 1. Define Compute Architecture Strategy

• Design end-to-end compute architecture (on-prem, cloud, hybrid)
• Create High-Level Design (HLD) and guide Low-Level Design (LLD)
• Align compute strategy with business goals, SLAs, and growth plans ✔ Architects define the blueprint and direction of infrastructure 2. Translate Business Requirements into Technical Design
• Understand application needs (performance, scale, availability)
• Convert requirements into: o Compute sizing o Platform selection (VM vs Container vs Bare Metal)
• Balance performance, cost, and resiliency ✔ Architects act as a bridge between business and technology 3. Design Cloud & Hybrid Compute Platforms
• Architect solutions on: o AWS (EC2, autoscaling) o Azure

VM / VMSS

Define:

o Hybrid architecture (on-prem + cloud) o Multi-region deployment strategy

• Lead cloud migration (VM → cloud / container) ✔ Responsible for designing and managing cloud infrastructure architecture 4. Own Virtualization & Platform Strategy
• Design VMware / Hyper-V / KVM environments

Define:

o Cluster architecture (HA, DRS) o Resource pooling strategy

• Drive modernization: o VMware → Kubernetes / OpenShift transformation 5. Drive Containerization & Modern Platforms
• Architect Kubernetes / OpenShift platforms

Define:

o Cluster sizing and scaling o Multi-zone / multi-region clusters

• Guide adoption of: o Microservices-based compute models 6. Ensure High Availability & Disaster Recovery
• Define HA architecture (active-active / active-passive)
• Design DR strategy (RTO / RPO aligned)

Implement:

o Failover automation o Self-healing systems ✔ Architects ensure systems are scalable, reliable, and resilient 7. Lead Automation & Infrastructure as Code

Implement:
