Abstract

The article focuses on the development of a centralized management system for both physical and virtual servers via a web interface. This system enables server infrastructure administration through various tools. Key components of the system, integration with server management tools, the use of Paramiko for remote access via SSH, and the potential application of other technologies for managing cloud and physical servers through a web interface are discussed. The system enables centralized management of various server types through a web interface, supporting both basic and advanced administrative operations. Integration with Docker and support for cloud APIs provide convenient automation and simplify operations with both cloud and physical servers. As a result, the system serves as a versatile tool for DevOps engineers. The study highlights the relevance and importance of a centralized approach to server infrastructure management, thereby enhancing the efficiency and reliability of server operations in modern environments.
