AWS Cloud Solutions Architect with ETX - (VPN â ETX â LSF) - REMOTE
ETX (Enterprise Technology Exchange) â Dependency for LSF, VPN Required
ETX is a prerequisite for LSF (Load Sharing Facility) and requires a site-to-site VPN to be operational before it can function.
Dependency Chain: VPN â ETX â LSF
Resource Requirements:
- VPN gateway or AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections in each relevant region
- Sufficient bandwidth on the VPN for ETX communication overhead
- Network ACLs and security groups configured to permit ETX traffic flows
- ETX services configured over the VPN tunnel
- LSF then leverages ETX for job scheduling and resource management
Professional Services Core Skillsets:
- Cloud Network Architecture â Design and implementation of AWS Site-to-Site VPN, VPC peering, Transit Gateway, routing tables, and firewall/NACL rules
- Enterprise Integration / Middleware â ETX installation, configuration, and integration over VPN tunnels; ensuring reliable message exchange between on-premises and cloud environments
- HPC / Batch Computing â IBM Spectrum LSF deployment, cluster configuration, job scheduling policies, and integration with ETX for workload orchestration
- Security & Compliance â IAM policies, encryption in transit (IPSec), network segmentation, and audit logging across VPN and ETX layers
- Infrastructure Automation (IaC) â CloudFormation / Terraform for repeatable VPN and networking provisioning across multi-region deployments
