FAQ
Do you need full root access to my servers?
Yes, for a full audit and modernization plan, root or sudo access is required. For initial consultation, read-only user access can be discussed.
Will this cause downtime on my production systems?
No changes will be made during audit. If implementation is needed, I will plan minimal or no downtime based on your environment.
Do you provide phone or video call support?
Support is provided via text chat for clarity and security. Step-by-step instructions and explanations are included.
What types of legacy systems do you work with?
I specialize in older Linux and Unix systems (Debian, CentOS, RedHat, Ubuntu, legacy kernels). My focus is on auditing their configurations, security, and performance. This service does not cover hypervisors or virtualization platforms.
Can you migrate my legacy system to a new server or cloud?
Migration requires separate planning. My Premium package includes audit and improvements on your current server. For full migration to new hardware or cloud, please request a custom offer.
