- Roll back or remediate hypervisor patches when incidents or instability occur
- Investigate and resolve datastore connectivity issues, including APD, PDL, and SCSI errors
- Monitor and enforce capacity limits and resource allocation across clusters and resource pools
- Define and implement minimal operations agreements for degraded or failure scenarios
- Ensure platform stability, resilience, and adherence to operational best practices
- Collaborate with storage, network, and cloud teams to resolve cross-domain infrastructure issues
