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