About The Position

Are you passionate about cloud technology and ready to get your hands dirty with real enterprise infrastructure? APEX Analytix is looking for an enthusiastic Cloud Infrastructure Intern to join our team in Greensboro, NC.
About the Role
This isn’t your typical internship where you’ll be making coffee and sitting in on meetings. As a Cloud Infrastructure Intern at APEX Analytix, you’ll work side-by-side with seasoned engineers, touching real production systems and learning the technologies that power enterprise cloud environments for Fortune 500 clients worldwide. If you’re curious, driven, and ready to level up your skills in Kubernetes, Linux, and infrastructure automation — we want to hear from you.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Working knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, or RHEL) even if it’s just from coursework or personal tinkering.
• Familiarity with virtualization or containerization concepts such as VMs, Docker, or Kubernetes.
• Some scripting experience in Bash or Python — side projects and labs absolutely count.
• Strong communicator who can document clearly and collaborate well with a team.
• Self-starter with genuine curiosity and a desire to grow fast in a real-world environment.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on Kubernetes or Docker experience from labs, personal projects, or open-source contributions.
• Exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, VLANs, and firewalls.
• Familiarity with observability tools like Prometheus or Grafana.

Responsibilities

• Get hands-on with KVM/Kubevirt virtual machine deployments alongside senior engineers.
• Dive into Kubernetes cluster configuration and health monitoring in real on-premises environments.
• Test and document Helm chart deployments and ingress configurations.
• Learn container security best practices and resource optimization in a live setting.
• Take part in real Linux server administration — patching, log analysis, and performance monitoring.
• Apply OS hardening techniques using proven runbooks and security standards.
• Sharpen your troubleshooting instincts on Linux systems with guidance from experienced engineers.
• Build and maintain live monitoring dashboards in Prometheus and Grafana.
• Write Bash and Python automation scripts that actually get used.
• Contribute to real incident response workflows by gathering diagnostics and analyzing logs.
• Shadow senior engineers through hands-on server maintenance, firmware upgrades, and hardware diagnostics.
• Help manage inventory for servers, SAN/NAS storage, and network equipment in our data center.
• Own and improve infrastructure documentation, runbooks, and internal wikis.
• Collaborate daily with DevOps and Engineering teams on real projects.
• Bring fresh ideas to the table — your perspective matters here.

Benefits

• Work on enterprise-grade infrastructure used by some of the world’s largest companies — from day one.
• Learn from senior engineers with deep expertise in Kubevirt, Kubernetes, and HA clustering.
• Get real exposure to DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and modern automation tools.
• Be part of a collaborative, supportive team that invests in your growth and development.
• Build a resume that stands out — this experience is the real deal
