Frequently asked questions
Alexander Trost is the founder of ZerBytes. The business is setup as a UG (Unternehmergesellschaft) in Germany. I am offering my experience that I have built with several customers in the main areas of containers, Kubernetes, storage and open source.
I can help with the whole containerization world, from Dockerfiles to Kubernetes and OpenShift. I have extensive experience with Linux system administration and everything surrounding it. I have built this experience over years maintaining the infrastructure of a big German gaming community, making sure our players enjoy our gameservers at their best performance and the developers having a stable and secure way to work on updates.
I am a maintainer of Rook.io, which is a CNCF graduated project. Rook is a Ceph storage operator for Kubernetes, which makes installing, using and maintaing Ceph clusters in Kubernetes easy. Besides that I take care of several projects, such as ancientt, dellhw_exporter, extended-ceph-exporter, FiveNet, and more. These projects range from automating network tests (running e.g., iperf3, across K8S clusters), Prometheus monitoring for your Dell server hardware and additional Ceph cluster metrics, and to enhance roleplay in gaming FiveNet as an open source CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system with integrated document management and alot more features.
