I’m looking for an admin who can jump in right away and take full ownership of my fleet of Linux machines. Ubuntu is the operating system I touch most often, but you’ll also encounter CentOS, AlmaLinux and the occasional Rocky host, so cross-distro confidence is essential. Day-to-day you’ll be spinning up and hardening both Apache and Nginx stacks, tuning MySQL / MariaDB, and moving WordPress sites between servers without a hitch. When DNS records misbehave, SSL renewals fail, mail queues clog or performance suddenly tanks, I’ll rely on you to diagnose and fix the root cause—fast. Most of the infrastructure sits on VPS nodes in AWS and Azure, with a few “traditional” dedicated boxes. Familiarity with cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin will save time when panel-based tasks pop up. The timeline is ASAP, so clear communication matters: I expect concise progress notes as milestones are reached and immediate alerts if anything blocks you. Once the work is complete, every server should be secure, fully patched and running smoothly with monitoring in place. If you’re comfortable scripting repeatable deployments, automating backups and optimising for both speed and stability, I’m ready to get started.

Rest is assure that you can have me on probation for a month to see if i fit in your organization or not. Speaking of cross-distro i am not only experienced with Debian and RPM based distro's but i have also worked on FreeBSD and Solaris machines. Hardening is my specialization as i focus on cyber security and Linux SysAdministration

Your infrastructure will fail audits if SSH is still exposed on port 22 with password auth enabled, and MySQL running without bind-address restrictions opens you to lateral movement attacks. Hardening 10+ servers manually also guarantees configuration drift within 30 days. Quick questions - are you running centralized logging (ELK/Graylog) to catch intrusion attempts across the fleet? And what's your RTO target if a production database goes down during business hours? Here is the architectural approach: - UBUNTU/CENTOS/ALMALINUX: Deploy Ansible playbooks that enforce identical hardening baselines across all distros, eliminating manual SSH configuration and ensuring CIS compliance. - APACHE/NGINX + MYSQL/MARIADB: Implement automated SSL renewal via certbot hooks, configure query caching and slow-query logging to preempt performance degradation before users complain. - AWS/AZURE VPS: Set up CloudWatch and Azure Monitor with alert thresholds for CPU spike, disk I/O saturation and failed login attempts, plus automated snapshot schedules tied to retention policies. I've managed 40+ production servers across hybrid cloud environments for fintech clients where 99.9% uptime was contractual. Let's schedule a 20-minute call to review your current backup strategy and monitoring gaps before I start the hardening sprint.
