Expert perspective on automation
Experience, guides and insights from real-world Ansible deployments in banking, telecom and industry.
F5 BIG-IP as code: the end of manual change tickets
Every F5 change through the GUI is a risk and a delay. We show how BIG-IP, NGINX and Ansible turn load balancing and WAF into auditable code — and where it gets tricky.
Veeam and automation: backups that test themselves
A backup no one tested is just hope. How we orchestrate Veeam via Ansible — from automated recovery verification to one-click DR scenarios.
Zabbix: open-source monitoring that scales from one server to hundreds of thousands
Commercial monitoring can get expensive. Zabbix offers enterprise capabilities for free — if you can deploy it and wire it to automation. Our view from practice.
Hardware isn't a commodity: why we build automation on Lenovo ThinkSystem
Automation starts at the metal. ThinkSystem out-of-band management (XCC) is what enables server provisioning from power-on to OS without a single visit to the server room.
Logmanager: when logs must be evidence, not a pile of text
For NIS2 and audit, having logs isn't enough — they must be searchable, immutable and meaningful. Why we bet on the Czech Logmanager solution.
No more passwords in code: Vault and Terraform as the base of secure automation
Hard-coded credentials in an Ansible playbook or Terraform state are a ticking bomb. Here's how HashiCorp Vault and Terraform turn infrastructure into auditable code — from real deployments.
NetBox as a single source of truth: why automation stalls without it
Most automation projects fail on one thing — nobody knows what is actually running in the network. NetBox (IPAM + DCIM) is that missing source of truth. How we deploy it and what it changes.
Your VMware contract is ending in 2026. What's next — without jumping into the unknown
Most Czech and Slovak enterprises got the same gift from Broadcom: a new VMware bill. You have 12–18 months to decide. Here's what alternatives really mean — not in marketing, but in practice.
