• The goal of BIENE is to provide a unified tax collection program for all federal states.

• Tax collection involves collecting the taxes that have been assessed. This includes, for example, taking due dates into account, recording incoming and outgoing payments, and initiating reminders or refunds. Limitation periods and payment reminders are also important. BIENE handles all payment transactions with banks and accounting.

• Head of overall technical integration NSC (National Secure Cloud, project with approx. 60 employees).

• Technical integration of all subprojects into one product, definition of interfaces and basic components of a cloud including hardware, technical architecture of the IABG platform.

• Development of a Cloud Management Platform (CMP) capable of creating private/mixed clouds of any complexity based on a textual description with one click or interactively.

• CMP also includes the complete hardware management lifecycle.

• Kubernetes, OpenStack and Hadoop are used as the foundation.

• The management layer includes Harbor, Gitea, Longhorn, Keycloak, Rancher and Jenkins, which are configured automatically.

• Private cloud can run any customer workloads, including a full Hadoop layer with HDFS, Spark, MapReduce, Mesos, HBase and around 20 additional ML/DL technologies.

• Hadoop worker clusters can also be installed automatically without Kubernetes on bare metal or commodity hardware.

• OpenStack with Nova, Neutron, Ironic, Swift, Cinder, Ceph.

• Development of a Java application Rudi: SOAP, REST, containers, DB.

• Technologies: Kubernetes (K3s, Rke2, Minikube, Harbor, Gitea, Jenkins, Longhorn, Keycloak, Rancher), OpenStack (Nova, Neutron, Keystone, Swift, Ceph, Cinder, Sahara, Magnum, Kayobe, Kolla, Bigrost, Ironic), Hadoop (HDFS, Ambari, Solr, Livy, Ranger, YARN, Tez, HBase, Kafka, Hive, Zookeeper, MapReduce, Spark, Oozie, Flink), virtualization (Kubernetes (K3S), VMware, Oracle), scripting (Ansible, Puppet, Juju, Shell, Groovy, Gradle, Maven).
