SIMAC is a player in the Belgian ICT market with a focus on 3 domains: Integration, Datacenter & Connectivity Solutions and Business Monitoring Solutions. Our 170 employees are based in our offices in Heverlee and Lummen.What you will doThe goal of this internship assignment is to explore how a Kubernetes and/or Docker environment can be effectively monitored using a custom-built API. You will investigate existing monitoring options and, based on this research, develop a proof-of-concept (POC) for a custom API that collects and exposes relevant statistics and status information from the container environment.The monitoring solution must align with the current and future monitoring architecture, which includes Broadcom DX NetOps as the main platform for network and infrastructure monitoring. The Mediation Manager currently acts as the main integration point for custom device plugins. Additionally, Kafka is already supported for data export and is expected to support data import into DX NetOps in the near future. Visualization tools like Grafana can also be used to display the collected metrics.The internship combines research with practical implementation so that the result not only provides insight into available options but also delivers a working prototype that is future-proof and can be easily integrated with Kafka and DX NetOps as these capabilities become available.This is you
