Job Summary:
FDPlan is a cloud-native application hosted on SLB’s industry leading DELFI platform. It is deployed as a Kubernetes application and uses microservice architecture for feature development. Currently, most of the microservices are running as k8s service and consuming resources whilst not serving any requests that add to the operation cost. FDPlan hosts the workflow service and provides the off-the-shelf system computes that are only required when the user runs the specific workflows. Since workflow computes are not always needed, those services can be converted to lightweight workloads using Knative, which can help save operational costs. This project will need a basic understanding of Kubernetes and the cloud deployment model.
