Things i'd like to learn as a sysadmin

These are (some of) the technologies i'd like to be proficient in, as a Mac sysadmin:

  • imagr
  • autodmg and other ways to create images
  • ...and packages
  • munki + git + autopkg + some kind of CI for linting and deployment
  • puppet + gitlab-ci + linting + deployment
  • ansible + gitlab-ci + linting + deployment
  • esxi + ansible (+ ci for linting)
  • santa
  • crypt2
  • lokgging, monitoring and alerting with TICK, ELK + topbeat, osquery and/or sensu
  • mdm (micromdm)
  • profiles
  • mcollective
  • sensu + puppet
  • docker
  • clever and useful dashboards
  • reposado

I use many of these technologies at work, but i still feel like i'm an inproficient hack with most of them. And as a sysadmin, i really like to know what i'm doing.
