ARCHITECTURE / 01
DESIGNED FOR THE REAL WORLD
THE CONTEXT
What needed attention.
Linux server setup and routine maintenance needed a consistent process instead of a series of manual changes.
THE IMPLEMENTATION
What I worked on.
- Built Ansible playbooks for provisioning, updates, optimisation and hardening.
- Configured Semaphore as a central interface for running the automation.
- Tailored service settings to available resources and workloads, and enabled two-factor authentication for the platform.
THE HANDOVER
What was delivered.
A repeatable approach to server configuration, with a central place to run maintenance tasks and documented configuration.
