What I do

I guide virtualisation and VPS hosting deployment using providers like DigitalOcean, Linode, Hetzner, and Vultr for cost-effective self-managed infrastructure.

When to use me

  • Cost-effective hosting for smaller workloads
  • Development and staging environments
  • Self-managed infrastructure with full root access
  • Learning environment for DevOps practices
  • Applications not requiring managed services

Core principles

  1. Snapshot and backup regularly (automated schedules)
  2. Use cloud-init for automated instance provisioning
  3. Monitor resource usage (CPU, memory, disk, bandwidth)
  4. Security hardening (firewall, fail2ban, SSH keys only)
  5. Automated provisioning with Terraform or Ansible

Decision triggers

  • Load with devops for deployment automation
  • Load with automation for provisioning scripts
  • Load with scripter for system administration tasks
  • Load with configuration-management for reproducible setups
  • For VPS hardening guides, refer to Obsidian vault
