Network Team

The network team is an informal team that takes care of the Network Infrastructure in TechInc.

If you want to do something related to the network infrastructure (fix something, add a new service, want to help maintain...), either reach a member directly, or send an email to network@ (might not be up to date).

Board infrastructure is handled separately, as it includes members PII and other sensitive information that should only be accessible to board and board-appointed board helpers.

Members

While there isn't a formal structure, those members have some access and knowledge about the infra:

  • Frogeye (inherited most of the access from pre-2024 network team)
  • Grey
  • Thijs
  • xbr

Those people have been designated as trusted by Frogeye and also have an access to the systems to increase the bus factor:

  • mrCyborg
  • tams

Inventory

Keeping track of things here is hard because there are so many moving parts. So it's best to always look at the source

Agent

If you create a VM / physical machine that is for members to use, we ask you to make it available to the network team. That way, should you not be available, we can fix problems too. To ensure the current network team has access to the machine, (also check we have a minimum of security good practices, maybe more too) we use Rudder (http://rudder.ti). To connect your machine to it, please run: 

   wget --quiet -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/rudder_apt_key.gpg "https://repository.rudder.io/apt/rudder_apt_key.gpg"
   apt install lsb-release -y
   echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://repository.rudder.io/apt/latest/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rudder.list
   apt update
   apt install rudder-agent -y
   rudder agent policy-server 10.209.60.232
   rudder agent inventory

And ping the network team so we can add it.
