Job Description for Contractor to productionize/improve metric dashboard

[scovetta]

Raw notes on what we're looking for:

• Experience with Azure services (virtual machines, networks, storage, containers (ACI/MCR)). Kubernetes not essential here.
• Experience with Python/Django. The front-end is Python/Django, which includes all of the import jobs. We'll want to expand this and provide more front-end functionality.
• Experience with Grafana. It isn't hard to get up to speed, but the main dashboard is all Grafana.
• Experience with SQL. Backend DB is PostgreSQL. Nothing specific to PostgreSQL, just basic tables and indices.
• Experience with containers - everything runs via Docker Compose.

Major tasks:

• Build a staging and production infrastructure within Azure (OpenSSF's subscription). Decide on whether the "everything on a VM" approach is best, and implement accordingly. Ensure proper monitoring, alerting, self-healing, secrets management, etc. take place.
• Review the project backlog for feature improvements to both the front-end (Django) and dashboard (Grafana).
• Document maintenance procedures (e.g. upgrading Grafana, underlying components, etc.). Goal is to keep these components up to date.
• Provide weekly status updates (what do you this week, what you plan to to do next week) by e-mail, and provide updates to the WG during our bi-weekly Wednesday meetings.

Hello Michael, I ticked every box except for Azure, as I have been using AWS for most of my dev career, I wouldn't mind taking that up to fit into the role. I also haven't used Grafana before but I can pick it up too(as you mentioned, it isn't hard to get up to speed)
