That will be a short microblog-style post. As you may know AWS Community Builders, as part of the program benefits are receiving 500$ per year of AWS Cloud credits. Seems a lot, however, domain name registration is excluded, also based on on-demand pricing, 500$ is ok for test ideas, or writing content. Not very good, …

Recently you were able to read. about S3 security, and methods of avoiding common misconfiguration with the usage of standard and well-known tools. The fact that AWS offers a set of access control mechanisms designed to protect S3 resources, including: Access Control Lists (ACLs) Identity and Access Management (IAM) …

In September this year, I will officially mark 10 years in the IT box. For most of my professional life, I was focused on system administration, automation, DevOps, and a bit of public/hybrid cloud. There was always security, but rather a nice-to-have topic, not the main pillar. Some time ago I decided, that I would …

At the beginning of September, I saw a post from Johannes Koch about self-hosting CodeCommit alternative. Then I realized, that I'm using my home, not such a popular, but very nice and solid git repository system. To be more precise, much more than a git server. Let's welcome OneDev. Git server with CI/CD, kanban, and …

Yesterday I decided to solve another, probably non-existent problem. So for quite a long time, I was looking for a solution that would allow me to schedule meetings with friends, family, and clients (the custom domain looks very professional). Most of them are paid every month. Which in my case is not a very …

If you have read my latest post about accessing RHEL in the cloud, you may notice that we’re accessing the cockpit console, via SSM Session manager port forwarding. That’s not an ideal solution. I’m not talking in bed, it’s just not ideal(but cheap). Today I realised that using Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser could be …

While writing a post about setting up Keycloak, which should be live this month(it's a bit harder, than I thought), I decided that it would be great to use my custom domain and play with it as well. As having sso.3sky.in looks cool, also unexpectedly it’s quite cheap. But why do I need it? It’s like 10$ per domain. Yes …

Let’s talk about basic IT operations included in the everyday tasks range. For example, accessing VMs. As you may realize (or not) - not everyone is using immutable infrastructure. Especially when their core business isn’t IT, and they are a bit bigger than 2-pizza team. That is why today we will talk about accessing …

Great that you're here. Today, I will write a bit about Event-Driven Ansible and its possibilities for improving the operational efficiency of our AWS environment. But wait, what does it mean by Event-Driven Ansible? My favorite sentence from the documentation is "EDA provides a way of codifying operational logic," so …

Once again I have a goal, write every month at least one article. Sounds easy, but unfortunately for me, it is not. The idea behind this blog is to write content that will be helpful for me(and hopefully for my readers as well). For example, when I need basic Nginx configuration I used to open this post from 2021. Now …
