Summary
🤩
RockstarMichal Jura is an experienced DevOps and cloud engineer with 13 years building and operating high-availability, scalable infrastructures across Linux, Unix, Windows Server and storage arrays. He combines hands-on automation (Chef, Puppet, Git) and programming (Python, Ruby, Bash) with strong networking and security know-how, delivering production-ready OpenStack, Kubernetes and container platforms. His open-source contributions to projects like OpenStack Magnum, Crowbar and Rancher show a focus on secure, automated cluster provisioning and installer streamlining—such as adding TLS and service-account key support and simplifying SUSE Enterprise Storage installs. Comfortable across databases (Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, Mongo) and distributed filesystems (Ceph, Swift), he repeatedly solves complex ops problems from HA load balancing to fibre‑channel storage. Michal’s background in both agile and traditional project management enables him to bridge engineering and delivery disciplines effectively. He’s based in Lower Silesia, Poland, and brings a pragmatic, low-friction approach to evolving cloud infrastructures.
