Edmund Haselwanter is a CEO and infrastructure automation specialist with 12+ years of experience designing and hardening cloud-native systems across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and OpenStack. He combines hands-on expertise in HashiCorp Vault/Consul, Terraform, Ansible, Docker and DevOps practices with a strong focus on security automation, evidenced by contributions to well-regarded dev-sec projects for Linux and Chef hardening. As founder of Infralovers and former head of consulting and training at cloudbau, he coaches teams to evaluate and adopt new tools and platforms pragmatically. His background as a systems architect and long-standing trainer means he translates complex infrastructure requirements into repeatable, auditable processes. Based in Styria, Austria, he pairs an MSc in Telecommunications & Informatics with a pragmatic obsession for usable security features—like standalone checks in baseline profiles that improve real-world operability.
