About the Author
Patrik Uytterhoeven has over 16 years of experience in IT. Most of this time was spent
on HP Unix and Red Hat Linux. In late 2012, he joined Open-Future, a leading open source
integrator and the rst Zabbix reseller and training partner in Belgium.
When Patrik joined Open-Future, he gained the opportunity to certify himself as a Zabbix
Certied Trainer. Since then, he has provided trainings and public demonstrations not only in
Belgium but also around the world, in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, Canada,
and Ireland.
Because Patrik also has a deep interest in conguration management, he wrote some Ansible
roles for Red Hat 6.x and 7.x to deploy and update Zabbix. These roles, and some others, can
be found in the Ansible Galaxy at

Patrik is also a technical reviewer of Learning Ansible and the upcoming book,
Ansible Conguration Management, both published by Packt Publishing.
I would like to thank my colleague Tom for helping me reviewing the book.
I would also like to thank my girlfriend Mui who had to spend countless
evenings alone before TV when I was writing this book. I would also like to
thank Open-Future the company I work for as they gave me the time that
was needed to for this book and at last I would like to thank all the reviewers
for the ideas and feedback and the people from PacktLib. Without them this
book would never have been possible.
