  • Support day-to-day Azure networking fundamentals such as VNets/subnets, NSGs, routing, DNS, and secure connectivity troubleshooting in coordination with network/security teams.

Azure NetApp Files (ANF) Administration

  • Administer ANF resources including NetApp accounts, capacity pools, and volumes (create, modify, document, and maintain).

  • Support patching/maintenance routines.
  • Resolve common VM/AVD issues (CPU/memory/vGPU, disk latency, connectivity).
  • Support core AVD operational components (host pools/session hosts, scaling, image lifecycle, and operational troubleshooting) as part of day-to-day support.

Monitoring, Observability, and Operational Response

  • Configure and monitor Azure services using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights; investigate alerts, document findings, and escalate as needed.
  • Participate in incident response support activities (triage, evidence gathering, containment steps as directed) consistent with IT/security procedures.
  • Contribute to runbooks, SOPs, and operational documentation to increase repeatability and reduce operational risk.

Collaboration and Customer Service

  • Work with internal teams to support initiatives involving Azure-hosted workloads and storage modernization, including file services migration to ANF.
  • Provide timely, clear communication on incidents, service requests, and changes; maintain high-quality ticket notes and post-incident summaries.
