• Familiarity with enterprise storage concepts and platforms (e.g., NVMe, NFS, object storage; NetApp, Everpure, or comparable.
• Solid understanding of data center networking fundamentals (L2/L3, VXLAN/EVPN, fabric design) and how compute, storage, and network integrate.
• Foundational understanding of Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure - core concepts, deployment models, and how containerized workloads are managed.
