Who we are

AI Ops Lab - Where artificial intelligence meets home infrastructure automation.

Hi! I'm Emil (@ionutz89) - a DevOps engineer obsessed with making homelabs smarter through AI-powered automation.

What started as: "Why does my homelab keep breaking at 3 AM?"
Became: A mission to automate everything so we can sleep better (and break things more efficiently).

Team: Just me, a lot of coffee, and an army of AI agents working overtime. 🤖☕

What we do

🎯 Mission: Create production-ready automation templates that save DevOps engineers from 3 AM panic deployments.

📦 We deliver:

• n8n workflows that integrate AI agents (Claude, OpenAI, MCP servers)
• YouTube tutorials with real-world scenarios and copy-paste solutions
• GitHub templates for Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Terraform automation
• Homelab guides that actually work (tested on my own suffering infrastructure)

🔧 Focus areas:

• AI-powered monitoring and alerting workflows
• Multi-agent automation (Cursor + Claude + n8n)
• GitOps and Kubernetes automation
• API integrations and webhook magic
• Observability that doesn't require a PhD to understand

Our goal

"Anyone should be able to automate their infrastructure without losing their sanity."

We're building a library of battle-tested automation templates that work in the real world - not just in perfectly configured demo environments.

The dream: Your homelab runs so smoothly that you forget it exists... until you realize you haven't had to SSH into anything for weeks. 🎯

Why sponsor? Your support helps us:

• 🎥 Create more in-depth YouTube automation tutorials
• 🛠️ Build and test more complex AI + DevOps integrations
• 📚 Maintain free, open-source templates for the community
• ☕ Keep the engineer caffeinated for those late-night workflow debugging sessions

Plus, your infrastructure will indirectly benefit from all the automation patterns we discover while breaking... er, "testing" things. 😉
