The organization’s technical backbone grew gradually and without shared rules. The goal is to stabilize it and put it on foundations that other people can keep running too.
What is being built
- Rules and principles for system administration and its documentation.
- A platform for testing and hosting services.
- A central system inventory, so it is clear what runs where and who is responsible for it.
- A link to the infrastructure one level up – much like connecting a branch office to headquarters.
Team and connections
- the groundwork for the technical team’s budget;
- collaboration with other teams;
- handling cyber security issues;
- helping set up a platform for technical leads to communicate across the organizations one level up.
Everything on open-source software wherever possible and sensible.
