I'm Terje Kvernes, a systems administrator, software developer, generalized hacker, and writer. I work with Linux (mostly RHEL), MacOS, NetApp, Cisco, APC infrastructure and a lot of other hardware. I'm sadly also known to be working with audio-visual equipment (mostly Crestron based, but less so recently) and performing Zoom management.

My toolchest at work includes stuff like:

• Ansible
• CFEngine
• Fleet/OSquery
• terraform (and a bit of Packer, targeting AWS, Azure, and OpenStack)
• python
• perl (yes, really)
• the (more than) occasional shell script
• monitoring through Zabbix/Grafana/Prometheus (and Nagios for some reason)
• and whatever else the job throws at me... I also have done work in Go, C, Fortran...

In my spare time I hike, write fiction, and get fascinated by new and novel ideas.

Sadly, most of my time is spent on work-related projects that rarely make it to github.

• mreg and mreg-cli: A DNS management system and its command line interface. Written specifically for the University of Oslo, but with some promise of being useful to others.
  • I wrangle stuff.
• EESSI: European Environment for Scientific Software Installations
  • I mostly deal with AWS infrastructure trough terraform and ansible, and otherwise try to be helpful. Sadly not nearly as active as I'd like to be.
• NESSI: Norwegian offshoot from EESSI
  • A bit more active, but still not as much as I'd like. 😢

• hubuum: A non-opinionated CMDB.
  • This may become more than slightly work adjacent, but right now it's a personal project.
• terraform-aws-ami-search: Find the most recent AWS AMI for a specific linux distribution, optionally filtered by version and architecture. It's available from terraform registry.

• github-authorized-keys: Using teams on github to manage ssh authorized keys.
  • Planned to use with EESSI/NESSI.
• github-authorized-keys: Using teams on github to manage ssh authorized keys.
  • Planned to use with EESSI/NESSI.
• eessi/status-page: A status page for EESSI service delivery.
  • This isn't the prettiest solution, but it works.
• cvmfs-server-scraper: A python tool to scrape cvmfs server status.
  • Used to create the status page above.

I also contribute to the Easybuild project, mostly via easyconfigs.

• ARM HPC Users group 2020: EasyBuild on ARM. Experiences in running EasyBuild on ARM, going through some of the issues with porting software reliant on SSE intrinsics and how to get around such issues.
