FIREWALL & SECURITY
Building the wall is not enough. Constantly looking for cracks and holes, killing the intruders and prevention is also needed. Forensics to find the cause and dedication to stop the damage. By the way: GDPR is here to stay!
IOT / EMBEDDED
Facinated by all Embedded solutions and IoT as concept of the future world. Started with Minix on a matchbox PC, now Using Raspberry Pi’s for everything possible.
Mac / Win / Linux?
It is not a religious war between operating systems, it is a question of fitting the tool to the operator. I work with all of the above to avoid discriminations.
Virtualisation
Still polluting our world with old power consuming servers? Using virtualisation can save money, energy and make life so much easier. VMWare, KVM, OpenStack, Proxmox, Virtualbox, HyperV – take a pick
Automation – Ansible
Why continue doing the same tasks over and over when you can automate them? Ansible or Puppet is fantastic tools to ensure same result EVERYTIME!
