      Tim Bielawa is a Senior System Admin/Scribe at Red Hat. He is currently on the Platform Operations team planning and implementing metric systems for IT, working his hardest to keep those 9’s up, and automating the heck out of anything that needs it.

      Tim has been involved in Open Source communities for around a decade, and a contributor/project maintainer for about half that time.

      In his spare time he enjoys writing documentation, solving interesting problems (and blogging about them), and building things.

      In March 2016 Tim published his first book, The Linux Sysadmin’s Guide to Virtual Disks. Read it for free or purchase a hard copy at http://scribesguides.com/.

      Tim has presented at the Red Hat Summit conference twice:

      • 2015 – YouTube.com: Bootstrapping a DevOps Movement in Red Hat IT
      • 2014 – Red Hat JBoss Middleware in the trenches

      Interested in virtualization? Do QCOWs rule your filesystem? Are you a libvirt or KVM+QEMU wizard? I wrote a book about virtual disk management. Check out the The Linux Sysadmin's Guide to Virtual Disks online for free at ScribesGuides.com.
