Cloud infrastructure & networking.
I build labs, write infrastructure as code, and work through the problems along the way. My focus is Azure, Terraform and understanding how systems connect.

ls ./projects
Practical work in cloud infrastructure and networking. Open a project to see the setup and what I learned.
01 / azure-hub-spokecloud labAzure hub & spoke infrastructureAn Azure lab combining network segmentation, VNet peering and infrastructure as code. A foundation for exploring cloud architecture.
I worked on a hub-and-spoke setup with separate resource groups, virtual networks, subnets and an Ubuntu VM. The wider lab also covered Azure Storage, Key Vault and remote state.
| RESOURCE | ADDRESS SPACE | ROLE |
|---|---|---|
| hub-vnet | 10.0.0.0/24 | Azure Bastion |
| spoke-vnet | 10.1.0.0/16 | Ubuntu VM |
The hub and spoke networks connect through VNet peering.
What I worked through
- Defining resources and understanding their dependencies.
- Troubleshooting peering status, subnet requirements and public IP SKUs.
- Working with remote state and investigating state-locking errors.
main.tf / simplified example
# Define the hub network
resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "hub" {
name = "infrabri-hub-vnet"
address_space = ["10.0.0.0/24"]
location = var.location
resource_group_name = var.resource_group_name
}02 / terraform-linux-vmautomation labFrom Terraform to a Linux VMProvisioning an Ubuntu VM on Azure, configuring SSH and working with configuration templates. Connecting infrastructure provisioning with system administration.
This lab combines a Linux VM, a public IP, SSH keys and Terraform templates. I explore how a provisioned VM becomes a useful host for web services or containers.
What I worked through
- Passing variables correctly to
templatefile(). - Understanding SSH configuration and host-key verification.
- Improving Bash scripts and cloud configuration step by step.
03 / networking-automationnetwork labRouting, switching & PythonHands-on Cisco labs for CCNA preparation, with Python and Netmiko to explore sending network configurations over SSH.
I practise VLANs, trunks, EtherChannel, STP, static routes, OSPF and IPv4/IPv6. With Python, I worked on a menu for applying network configuration templates.
What I worked through
- Reading routing tables and neighbour output.
- Troubleshooting trunk and EtherChannel configuration issues.
- Using templates for OSPF and static routing.

I'm Sabri Harrass, with a background in the associate degree programme in Systems and Network Administration at Erasmushogeschool Brussel. I'm interested in the point where cloud, networking and automation meet.
I learn by building, investigating errors and trying again. Whether a route is missing or a Terraform configuration needs work, I want to understand what's happening underneath.
InfraBri brings my projects and technical development together in one place.

My next step is to keep turning what I learn into practical Azure, networking and infrastructure-as-code projects. InfraBri is where that work takes shape.
