@vivekanandanks thanks for the interesting post. I want to suggest that the #configmanagememt analogy part (where #ansible sits, and so do several other widely used tools like #saltstack, #puppet, #chef, #cfengine) can be improved. The central premise of configuration management is that current state is dynamic, a moving target. Constantly pruning a growing tree might be a better analogy.

Day 18/25: The Samba software enables file and printer sharing, and is typically used in mixed #Linux and #Windows environments. It can provide an attack vector and has been affected by vulnerabilities in the past. If not used, it should be removed:

#hello people. Ståle from Norway. I've been doing tactical and strategic #infosec and #irt in #HigherED for the last seven years. It all started with a bunch of diskettes and c.o.l.a. in 1993, and since then I've worked as a sysadmin. Mostly unix-es, but also Windows. This includes project management, #monitoring, #architecture, designing an #operations center and touching a bunch of technologies over the years. I still code a little #shell and #python. Been using #cfengine and #tivoli with a smile.
A memorable moment still is opening 7 xterms and compiling X11R6 for #sunos #solaris #hp-ux #ultrix #irix #linux #digitalunix and managing the configuration and security of tons of servers and clients centrally. This must have been 2000 or so.
These days I tend to like logging and #siem frameworks like #elk, teaching users and management how to make smart choices, general config management and hardening, IAM-stuff and the essential symbiosis between #sysadmin stuff and infosec stuff. #isms. #policies. #architecture.
I also like #photography #lego #rpg #larp #cooking #politics #society #emacs #languages #puns. A lot nicer than the picture. He/Him.
