Systems Management

I wrote this explainer for CIQ introducing RLC+, the free, GPU-ready tier that sits between community Rocky Linux and the full RLC Pro subscription.

I wrote this for Rocky Linux: an opt-in security repository that bridges the gap when a public exploit lands before upstream has a fix.

I open 2026 with a reality check on subscription fatigue and kick off a new arc on building a personal homelab.

I wrote this for TuxCare to explain what patch-aware scanning means, why traditional scanners get Linux wrong, and how it makes audits far less painful.

I wrote this for TuxCare to introduce Radar, a lightweight, patch-aware CVE scanner for Linux that installs from the command line and skips the false positives.

The finale of the Satellite miniseries, where Richard and I use Ansible system roles, host groups, and OpenSCAP to standardize and manage RHEL at scale.

In episode three, Richard and I recap the build so far and dig into patching, scheduled jobs, and CVE mitigation with Red Hat Satellite.

Richard and I make Satellite useful by adding systems and packages, setting up repositories, content views, host groups, and activation keys.

The first episode of our Satellite miniseries, where Richard Rios and I stand up a Red Hat Satellite server from scratch, live.

Nate Lager and I sit down with Yubico’s Jonathan Hanlon and Dave Pham to add FIDO passkeys to RHEL users and log in with a YubiKey through Identity Manager.

Pete Sackett joins Brian and me to break down Red Hat Satellite, from patching and life cycle to content management, and how far it has come since version 5.

Rich Dorito joins Brian and me to explain what a Red Hat subscription actually is, how to access trials, and why the whole experience got so much cleaner.
