PROFILE
Rasmus Thorslund
During four months on the SUNET/puppet-sunet repository, Thorslund engineered automation and configuration management solutions to improve operational reliability and security. He developed a script-driven workflow for safely draining and rebooting MicroK8s nodes, reducing manual intervention and enhancing uptime. Leveraging Puppet, Hiera, and Bash, he centralized secret management for signservice keys and introduced dynamic monitoring thresholds for Nagios, enabling environment-wide consistency. Thorslund also delivered a flexible certificate management system using dynamic CSR templates and improved Edusign app polling through configurable parameters. His work demonstrated depth in Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, and system administration, resulting in maintainable, resilient infrastructure.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 – SUNET/puppet-sunet: two major features delivering security and ops improvements. Signservice Key Management via a Hiera-backed key file and secret_file resource centralizes secret handling, ensures root ownership and proper permissions, with content sourced from Hiera. Nagios Monitoring: Dynamic thresholds via lookup for load, total processes, and zombie checks, including zombie threshold parameters and centralized environment configuration. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: stronger security posture, reduced secret sprawl, consistent cross-environment monitoring, and faster incident detection. Technologies demonstrated: Puppet, Hiera, secret_file resource, Puppet lookup, and maintainable secret/monitoring configuration.
