The SRE Team for Edge Services is responsible for building and monitoring services used to transit the external facing edge of our networks to provide access to internal resources.

We manage access services and ensure scaling to provide a secure and reliable service to our users. We achieve our goals by developing and maintaining our own tools and leverage industry standard automation frameworks.

Edge Services are essential for our company. We provide thousands of Engineers access to internal resources with a solution called bbVPN: Giving the flexibility to access from anywhere in the world helping to be flexible and innovative. Over the years the amount of users leveraging this solution has grown heavily.

In addition backend services are using this secure way to exchange data with service partners.

As a technology stack we use VPN technologies (openVPN), proxy services (HAproxy) and Identity Aware Proxies tailored for Bloomberg's requirements. For automation we use frameworks like Ansible and SaltStack. For version control we use git and leverage standard SDLC practices and tools.
