Internship 2027: R&D of Microsoft Azure Monitoring Integration for SIOP/DX NetOps

**SIMAC** is a player in the Belgian ICT market with a focus on 3 domains: Integration, Datacenter & Connectivity Solutions and Business Monitoring Solutions. Our 170 employees are based in our offices in Heverlee and Lummen. **What You Will Do** The goal of this internship assignment is to investigate how a Microsoft Azure environment can be discovered, monitored and represented within the SIOP / DX NetOps architecture. The intern will focus on Azure inventory and resource discovery, performance and health monitoring, topology and relationships, network and security information, and other Azure-specific operational data. Based on this research, the intern will develop a proof-of-concept (POC) that demonstrates how this information can be collected, normalized and made available for operational use within SIOP / DX NetOps. The solution must align with Simac’s evolving SIOP / Broadcom DX NetOps architecture. The assignment will investigate a modern and reusable integration approach based on Azure APIs, telemetry sources and data-ingestion pipelines. Kafka can be evaluated as a data distribution or streaming layer, ClickHouse as a scalable analytics and storage platform for selected historical, performance and operational data, and SIOP and/or Grafana for visualization and operational use. An important objective is to determine whether the resulting Azure integration pattern can also serve as a reusable architectural model for integrating other technologies into SIOP in the future. **This is you** * Team player, with a passion for IT; particularly skilled in XML configuration and scripting in Groovy or Java * Eager to learn and open to feedback * Driven and enthusiastic * Communicative, both orally and in writing * Creative problem solver * Experience with container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker), API development and programming languages such as Python, Go, or Node.js is preferred * Basic understanding of networking and message buses such as Kafka, and familiarity with visualization tools like Grafana, are considered a plus **What You Get In Return** * The opportunity to work on pioneering projects * Good supervision by an experienced Simac BMS team member and access to a test environment * The approachable atmosphere of a family business with the comfort and security of an international group * Internship done well?
