Support for application operation and knowledge management
Project duration: 2 months
Brief description
In the course of this project, operation of the customer's applications is ensured, on the one hand, while new applications and introduced and set up, on the other. A key focus here is on rectifying any faults that occur, or on ensuring availability, as well as installing and configuring the applications on new physical and virtual servers. In parallel to operation, knowledge management measures are also carried out. For example, recurring measures for maintaining operation are documented and the actual knowledge management system, Confluence, is developed further and adapted to the customer's needs.
Supplement
The infrastructure on which the applications are based is largely based on Linux. The primary means of communication for failures, malfunctions and general issues is ticket systems such as Jira and Helpline. The range of tasks includes receiving tickets, checking the requirements of incoming tickets or analyzing the cause of malfunctions, developing solution strategies and implementing these. Another task is maintaining or configuring the Glassfish application server, which is used in many contexts. In the course of this project, the CI software Jenkins and GitLab Runner is configured and used to ensure continuous integration specifications for the applications operated. All steps taken and all changes made are continuously documented both in the tickets and in the customer's in-house wiki, so that when recurring or similar problems and issues occur, they can be processed and solved as quickly as possible.
