Core platform engineering practice
Senior engineering for RHEL, Ansible, and OpenShift environments—focused on repeatable operations, day-two reliability, and a platform your team can sustain.
The operating problem
A supported platform can still be difficult to operate. Manual changes accumulate, upgrade risk grows, teams inherit unclear ownership, and automation stalls because no one has designed the workflow around it.
OCS works with infrastructure, security, and application teams to turn that day-two work into consistent engineering practices. Our team experience includes Red Hat Certified Architects, solutions architects, and automation engineers, alongside product engineers who understand what applications need from the platform.
Engineering areas
Turn recurring administration, patching, configuration, compliance, and recovery work into reviewed, repeatable automation. We help identify the right first use cases, structure inventories and roles, integrate credentials, and build an operating model around the automation—not just a collection of playbooks.
Improve consistency across the Red Hat Enterprise Linux lifecycle with standard builds, configuration control, patch workflows, compliance evidence, and documented operations. The work is shaped around your environment, support boundaries, and existing platform team.
Strengthen the operational layer around OpenShift: cluster health, upgrades, identity, policy, observability, capacity, backup, application onboarding, and the handoffs between platform and application teams.
Defined starting points
Each starting point produces working artifacts and a prioritized next-step plan. Scope is adjusted to the size, access, and operating constraints of your environment.
Select a small set of valuable automation cases, establish reusable patterns, deliver working automation, and leave the team with a prioritized backlog and operating approach.
Review architecture, configuration, lifecycle, access, observability, recovery, and operational ownership, then turn the findings into a risk-ranked action plan.
Address the work that begins after installation: upgrade readiness, capacity, policy, monitoring, backup, application onboarding, and support responsibilities.
Standardize builds, configuration, patching, evidence collection, and exception handling across the RHEL lifecycle with reviewed automation and clear operating ownership.
Assess workload fit, platform readiness, migration dependencies, network and storage needs, recovery, and the day-two model before moving virtualized or containerized workloads.
Platform + AI
Our Mimir Tactical work connects local AI application needs with containerized services, RHEL-aligned deployment patterns, controlled knowledge, evaluation, and restricted operations.
Modernization
Platform standards, automation, lifecycle, recovery, and team ownership shape whether a workload should move, modernize, or remain where it is.
