Managing Internal Cloud (Amanda)

We have monitoring and logging system made up of logstash and grayLog respectively, backed up by elasticSearch. Monitoring system provides the good indication about the health of the system. For deep dives I prefer checking the state of traffic over messaging queue rabbitMQ dashboard. We use saltStack for configuration management of our services and components of the system and circus for process management.

Anurag is a huge asset to the Core Engineering team at MPC. He actively takes responsibility for projects he is involved in. His commitment to getting things done and working to understand features and problems means he has a great deal of trust from his colleagues and peers.

He also works hard at creating and maintaining great relationships across all groups. He is helpful, patient but also firm. As a result, he is highly thought of by everyone I have interactions with.

I thoroughly enjoy working with him and look forward to seeing how he and his career develop at MPC.

MPC

Anurag and I worked together in Core Engineering team in MPC, where we worked at two different sites. Anurag was one of those colleagues that are easy to communicate regardless of the distributed nature of the team.
I remember our common code reviews and it was fun as this person is keen to improve, learn new approaches, experiment and provide an honest feedback. Anurag is responsible and hard-working - the great member of a development team.
