About Me
Who am I?
My name is Adam Rush and I’m a DevOps Engineer based in Bristol, UK.
I’ve been into computing since I was a lad, and have learned something new almost every day; applying my life-long learning attitude.
I love most things IT but my main interests are in Automation, IT Infrastructure, and experimenting with new technologies.
My current focus areas are:
- Azure
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- CI/CD Pipelines
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
What is the “Hype-Pipe”?
The “Hype-Pipe” is a term myself and good friend / colleague Matt Horgan use to mock ourselves when we inevitably find ourselves “hyping” on some idea / technology / process / ANYTHING!
What will I find on this blog?
Mainly posts about stuff I’m working on day-to-day. I’m quite forgetful so they serve as a great source of reference, and I’ve learned from my old blog that they also help others overcome the same challenges. It’s good to give back as I’ve learned so much from other blogs over the years.
Anything else?
I’ve studied hard in the past with a focus on IT certifications as a means of structured learning, which worked really well for me and I enjoyed attaining them all, including:
- Microsoft MCSE / MCITP:Enterprise Administrator / SQL / Exchange
- VMware VCP-Cloud / VCP
- Cisco CCNA
- Citrix CCA / CCAA
These days I’m taking a more casual approach to studying for exams, but when I do, I’m focussing on Azure Certifications and have gained the following Azure certs so far:
