Hello, World! I'm a Linux Fanatic, Open Source Enthusiast, and massively curious. I Specialize in Linux and Systems Development and Automation and also have Knowledge of AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, as well as BigData Technologies such as EMR (Managed Hadoop Framework), DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Kinesis, Data Pipeline. My current toolset that I work with includes but not limited to AWS, Lambda, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Docker Swarm, Prometheus, Concourse, Kubernetes, Terraform, Dev tooling, Python, Metrics, Ansible, etc. My github profile will probably reveal what I keep myself busy with: https://github.com/ruanbekker Oh yeah and I like blogging on https://sysadmins.co.za and https://blog.ruanbekker.com My Cloud of Favorites: - Operating Systems: FreeBSD, OpenSuSe, CentOS, RedHat, Ubuntu, Arch Linux - Blockchain Infrastructure: Bitcoin, Ethereum (geth), Tron, Polygon - AWS (EC2, IAM, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Elasticsearch, Everything-AWS) - Linux System Administration (Implementation, Configuration, Maintaining of Systems) - Configuration Management (Ansible, Pythons Fabric Tool, Chef) - Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) - Big Data (Hadoop, HDFS, Hive, Pig, ElastiCache, Elasticsearch, Spark, DataPipeline) - Container Orchestrators (Docker Swarm, Kubernetes) - MySQL (SQL Servers, RDS, MySQL Replication) - NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB) - Squid (Proxy Servers) - Apache.
