Open Sourcerers
10 years ago companies were desperately trying to implement new technologies to manage and operate their virtual machines. They do so with some kind of “Multi Cloud Management Software” or with a managed tool from a hypervisor of their choice at the time being, like vCenter from VMware. There was also a nice software in […]
When I talk to colleagues, partners and customers in this age there are not a few who say that their company is going “all in” into the cloud. Faster, cheaper, more dynamic. It is just better. Migration to the cloud will take some time but they have started the process and it looks “good”. But […]
It is widely accepted that using a hybrid- and multi-cloud approach is needed to increase flexibility and reduce the dependency on any single vendor. However, most organizations struggle to operate effectively across clouds, with environments often being disconnected silos with varying primitives, APIs, and management tools. Thus, moving workloads and data between clouds, and implementing […]
Today more than ever availability and performance depend on resilience against increasingly frequent and powerful attacks on the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information and IT systems. It is not just that our systems are being threatened with continuous automated attacks, but also with highly sophisticated approaches, such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), Ransomware, Side […]

I’ve been in IT since 2001 and countless times I did notice that people are confused by all these “Cloud” “Buzzwords”. Therefore, in this brief article I want to give a short explanation what actually is a “Hybrid,- Multi Cloud Approach”? In our new digital world, digitalization needs to be adapted in every company, regardless […]
Ansible & Terraform – together or against? I’ve worked in open source infrastructure consulting for more than 15 years and have used a fair number of the usual suspects from the automation space during this time. Home-brewn scripts, CFEngine, Puppet, to just name a few. When Red Hat acquired Ansible I was really excited, dove […]
