This blog is written by Jordi Prats, a passionate systems administrator and automation enthusiast. You can find me on GitHub and LinkedIn.

I have been working with servers for many years, starting with connecting to them directly using SSH and later moving on to automating deployments using tools like Puppet. Through my experience, I have learned the importance of infrastructure as code and the benefits it brings to an organization.

In this blog, I intend to cover topics such as server administration, automation, and infrastructure management.

This blog is hosted on AWS using Terraform, and it utilizes K3S to run the application. All the blog posts are stored in a private GitHub repository using Markdown, and they are published using a Python application built with Flask. For more details, you can refer to the source code page.
