Consulting
Infrastructure & DevOps
Linux platforms, cloud and on-premise, automation, backups and monitoring, twenty years of running systems for hosting providers, applied to yours.
Linux · cloud and on-premise · web and database platforms · containers and automation · monitoring and backups · incident process
Most infrastructure problems are not technology problems; they are missing habits: no backups tested, no monitoring that someone reads, no procedure for the thing that breaks every month. I fix the technology and install the habits.
What I do
- Platform reviews: what will fail next, and what to do first.
- Automation and containerisation of the services that keep getting rebuilt by hand.
- Backup, restore and monitoring that are actually tested.
- Incident and change processes sized for the team you have.
- Hands-on help for a few days a month, remotely.
Background
