Summary
Everhard Faas is a Specialist Engineer Linux with over 30 years of hands-on experience and a decade-plus focused on large-scale private cloud and infrastructure operations. Based in Gelderland, Netherlands, he designs, hardens and automates Linux environments at scale—managing private clouds of 1k+ nodes, SAN-integrated storage, VMware virtualization and high-performance NFS services. He specializes in performance tuning, network and security optimization, and has repeatedly implemented CIS benchmarks and Puppet-driven provisioning, monitoring and auto-healing for complex SAP and government platforms. Known for pragmatic scripting with GNU/Unix tools (shell, sed, awk) and acting as Puppet Master, he turns operational toil into resilient, auditable systems. Less obvious: his career includes legacy OS migrations (Tru64 → HP‑UX → Linux) and building webform-driven self-service provisioning that delivered hundreds of systems rapidly with minimal FTE.
