The year 2022 has kept us busy. Many "internal" projects have kept us busy this year:
After we decided in January to give up our own hosting infrastructure and move to the cloud, we spent months testing: which (mostly) Swiss cloud providers are currently available, what do they offer, do we enter into partnerships, what are the prices like and what about their APIs? By June, we had convinced all our customers to join us.
Since January, we have been working with cloud providers like Infomaniak, Exoscale, Cloudscale and Hetzner. We took this change in strategy as an opportunity to revise our Ansible platform LFOps, make it multi-cloud ready and released it on GitHub at the end of February. We have been working on it almost every day since then. Absolute transparency for our customers - as a customer you can see how we install, maintain and service your infrastructures.
There was no way around GitHub for us this year: After noticing that forks of our monitoring plugins on GitHub (which we had hosted on our own GitLab server for years) were ranking much higher in Google search results than our original plugin, we moved all our open source projects to GitHub on March 1st. And, oh wonder, since then there has actually been a vibrant community around our projects 😉 .
What else has happened as a direct result of the previous decisions:
Done for this year. 🙂
