Hello! I'm Russ, an IT professional with a strong background in DevOps and system administration. I've spent the last 30 years working in various IT roles across multiple industries. I have a deep passion for Linux, open-source systems, automation, and containers. I currently serve as the Practice Manager of SRE & DevOps at Node4, managing projects across public and private clouds.
Apart from my work, I have written and contributed to twelve books primarily revolving around container technologies and automation. In my downtime, I enjoy expanding my vinyl record collection.
- Azure Soft Delete: Recovering Resources and Preventing Accidental Deletions
- When the Sandworm Came for My Secrets: Lessons from Shai-Hulud 2.0
- Playing with Nano Banana Pro: AI-Powered Album Cover Collages
- My Starship Prompt Setup
- Rotating Azure DevOps SSH Keys: How to Update Your Git Remotes and SSH Config
