Let’s get this community popping with some useful information. Reddit’s sysadmin subreddit seemed like a place of complainers, I look forward to having actual productive conversation in this community.

    For systems creation, provisioning and config management Hashicorp’s terraform and packer, and RedHat’s ansible are indispensable.

    govc for managing guests in vCenter.

    jq for parsing json.

    I like tmux better than screen, but use both.

    Not really a tool, per se, but Netbox is a great DCIM/IPAM application for managing your infrastructure.

    Just learned about it and am currently learning, but Apache JMeter looks like a useful tool for running automated load testing against different kinds of services.
