Manage my cheap TLD with Route53
Welcome While writing a post about setting up Keycloak, which should be live this month(it’s a bit harder, than I thought), I decided that it would be great to use my custom domain and play with it as well. As having sso.3sky.in looks cool, also unexpectedly it’s quite cheap. But why do I need it? It’s like 10$ per domain. Yes and no. One of the Community Builder program benefits is a voucher for 500$ which can be used within a year, on AWS services. Continue reading
rhel on cloud
Let’s talk about basic IT operations included in the everyday tasks range. For example, accessing VMs. As you may realize (or not) - not everyone is using immutable infrastructure.

For example, we can trigger playbook execution with Lambdas make our self-service process a bit more ops-oriented, or introduce ChatOps. Continue reading
Local automation
Welcome Once again I have a goal, write every month at least one article. Sounds easy, but unfortunately for me, it is not. The idea behind this blog is to write content that will be helpful for me(and hopefully for my readers as well). For example, when I need basic Nginx configuration I used to open this post from 2021. Now I’m older a bit, so I decided to switch once again to Doom Emacs(? Continue reading
2023 as AWS Community Builder
Welcome It’s the 3rd week of January 2024. The Community Builder form for the current year is probably already closed, right? Ah, it’s not true.

If you’ve already applied, I have some stories to share or rather an extended 2023 summary. Continue reading
