Do it to be it.
Zyntexes is a systems administrator moving into cloud consulting, doing the work in the open. This is where that work gets written down.
Zyntexes is a cloud-consulting practice and an open notebook. The practice helps small and mid-sized businesses with Azure architecture, infrastructure as code, automation, and cloud governance. The notebook is this blog, where the reasoning behind each build gets written down so it holds up to scrutiny and is useful to someone else.
The approach
Most of the work here starts by building it badly first, then writing down the second attempt: the version with the dead ends removed and the reasoning left in. The throughline is a move from systems administration into cloud consulting, carried by real certifications and real infrastructure work rather than claims. Least privilege is the default, anything done twice gets automated, and the reasoning ships alongside the answer.
