Solving IT problems for🎖️17+ years. On Upwork: 300+ hours, 6K+ earnings. Lower rates until I reach 9 reviews (5-star). Quality work normally paid at ~$30/hr only NOW available at reduced price. Don't wait until that last 9th review. I value customer satisfaction & robust solutions. Why? Because I can have more spare time and enjoy it later. Welcome! You need your problem solved and I can probably help. Probably. I know the struggle. Looking for a solution or a professional to do a task that is not exactly your expertise. Making fast and right decisions, because everybody counts on you. Trying to fit into the budged. Sudden change of plans. The long hours. The new unexpected task. A half-working solution. Back to the drawing board. The deadlines. The fluctuations in revenue. The customers! How do I know? I've experienced it while I was managing the day to day operations of my own escape room business for 8 years. And additionally working in IT for full or half day as a daily job. That is how I know. That is why I will not waste your time. ✅ I will do my best to solve the issue if I can. ✅ I will not promise things I am not 90% certain are possible. ✅ I will consider the solution which is most beneficial for you from technical and financial perspective. ✅ I usually look for the root cause of the problem and try to fix it once and for all. ✅ Often I had found ideas for solving many clients issues just by having a discussion. What is my expertise? ✅ I will never compromise with security for a bit of user convenience. ✅ I will NOT leave a half-finished solution in the middle. Unless you are not paying the work done. ✅ Free and open source software are a major interest. I have more the 17 years IT experience and I have held different positions in the field. Close to the entire spectrum. You can check my employment history (before Upwork) on my profile. Still, GNU/Linux (a.k.a simply "Linux") system administration stays my favorite one. ✅ I have more than 20 years of experience on the GNU/Linux (a.k.a. just "Linux") command line. ✅ I have close to 10 years with cloud. ✅ I have more than 5 years in DevOps. I have experience with different cloud and hosting providers: ✅ Digital Ocean ✅ Hetzner ✅ Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ✅ Amazon Web Services (AWS) ✅ Namecheap ✅ Vultr ✅ Infomaniak ✅ Linode ✅ OpenStack (I was public cloud system administrator) I've implemented CI/CD in several YAML dialects and know other automation tools as well: ✅ Github Actions ✅ Gitlab CI ✅ Jenkins ✅ CircleCI ✅ Bash shell scripts ;) (before CI was a thing) ✅ Ansible (Infrastructure as Code / IaC; server automation) ✅ Cron / systemd timers ✅ Python ✅ Perl I've used distributions like Slackware, CentOS, Gentoo, Trisquel, Ubuntu and Debian. The last (three) are preferred. So, are we doing a project? Send me a message or an invite and let's get started. P.S. Don't forget to check my project catalog as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A+++. Highly recommended!! Nour was very responsive and dedicated himself to assisting with our AWS EC2 server migration which went smoothly and problem free. Nour was willing to chat over Zoom to facilitate quicker resolutions to the issues we were having. If you're searching for a quality Upwork professional with strong AWS, WHM and cpanel skills, look no further." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "NourEddine is a pleasure to work with. Despite our considerable timezone difference he was easy to work with. His Docker skills are next-level compared with others. Even when working slightly outside his area of expertise he proved himself innovative, adaptable, capable and persistent. Every time I came up with a new requirement, NourEddine found a solution. I'm very pleased with the end result, that being a fully functioning and well integrated production system.

Red Hat Linux administrator (RHEL 7/8/9) with AWS SysOps certification and Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) expertise. I build repeatable, version-controlled AWS environments. SELinux enforcing. LVM. Ansible automation. I am an AWS-certified engineer with Terraform expertise and deep Red Hat Linux administration skills. I have managed 50+ RHEL/CentOS servers in production for the last 4 years. My approach: Infrastructure as Code first (Terraform), automation second (Ansible), security always (SELinux enforcing). What I do for clients: Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) AWS infrastructure provisioning (EC2, VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM, S3, RDS, ALB/NLB) Remote state management (S3 backend + DynamoDB locking) Modules for reusable infrastructure components Terraform + Ansible integration (provisioners, remote-exec, or separate workflows) State migration and refactoring CI/CD ready configurations (GitHub Actions friendly) Red Hat Linux Administration (RHEL / CentOS / AlmaLinux) Installation and configuration (Kickstart, manual, or Terraform-provisioned) LVM management (create, extend, reduce filesystems) SELinux troubleshooting and custom policy modules (enforcing mode only) Firewalld configuration (zones, rich rules, masquerading) SSH hardening (key auth, disable root, port changes) Systemd service management and custom unit files Kernel tuning (sysctl) and performance optimization Log management (rsyslog, journald, logrotate) AWS Cloud Engineering EC2 instance provisioning (Linux/Windows) via Terraform and manual VPC design (subnets, route tables, NAT gateways, peering, Transit Gateway) IAM policies, roles, and least-privilege access Systems Manager (SSM) for patching and automation CloudWatch monitoring and alarming Auto Scaling and Load Balancers (ALB/NLB) S3 storage with lifecycle policies, versioning, and replication Multi-account Organization setup Automation & Configuration Management Terraform for AWS provisioning (HCL, modules, state management) Ansible for post-provisioning config (playbooks, roles, Jinja2) Packer (basic) for custom AMIs (available if needed) Bash scripting for custom automation Monitoring & Logging Graylog setup (rsyslog forwarding, dashboards) Nagios / Checkmk configuration CloudWatch agent + custom metrics Recent project examples: Wrote Terraform modules to deploy production-ready VPC with public/private subnets, NAT gateway, ALB, and Auto Scaling group of RHEL 8 instances. Integrated with Ansible for post-deploy configuration. Managed 50+ RHEL 8 servers including SELinux enforcement, Firewalld rules, LVM resizing, and monthly patching via Ansible. Migrated Terraform state from local to S3 backend with DynamoDB locking for team collaboration. Migrated VMware vCenter 6 → 7 and redesigned network with 5 VLANs and new IP scheme. Why work with me: AWS SysOps Certified (hands-on, not just theory) Terraform production experience (state management, modules, S3 backend) Red Hat Linux production experience (SELinux enforcing - I do not disable it) Ansible automation for configuration management Infrastructure as Code philosophy – everything version-controlled, repeatable, documented My typical Terraform + Ansible workflow: Write Terraform to provision AWS resources (VPC, EC2, security groups, IAM) Output EC2 IPs to Ansible inventory Run Ansible playbooks for SELinux, Firewalld, users, packages Commit everything to GitHub (client access provided) I am available for: Ongoing retainer (weekly hours) One-time projects (Terraform module creation, AWS environment setup) Terraform state troubleshooting and migration Emergency infrastructure fixes Message me with: What AWS services you need provisioned If you have existing Terraform code or need from scratch What Linux distribution and version you are using

Self-driven DevOps engineer who builds and runs infrastructure that works when it matters. I've spent years working with Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Linux systems in production environments where downtime isn't an option (Banking Sector). I handle the full stack: cluster setup and operations Day0-2, infrastructure automation with Terraform and Ansible, CI/CD pipelines, and production troubleshooting when things break. I work across AWS, Azure, and on-prem environments, and I'm comfortable with both greenfield builds and fixing what's already there. My background includes networking, security hardening, and Linux administration. I've architected and deployed Red Hat platforms like Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat Satellite. I manage SSL/TLS certificates, configure load balancing, and handle DNS. I've also deployed self-hosted AI infrastructure including vector databases and RAG pipelines on Kubernetes. I write tools in Golang when the situation calls for it. I use monitoring and observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki to catch issues before they become incidents. I've built multi-tenant Kubernetes architectures with proper isolation, configured zero-trust networking with Wireguard, and integrated security scanning into CI/CD pipelines. I hold certifications from Red Hat, AWS, and the Linux Foundation, but what matters more is that I can diagnose problems quickly, communicate clearly, and stay engaged through tough situations. If you are looking for someone who can own infrastructure end-to-end and keep systems stable, let's talk.
