    I have an Azure VM, a github repo, and I would like to use a Github action to ssh to my Azure VM then run a git pull command. My network manager says she will only open up a port and TCP for this if I provide her IP addresses. But Github has over 2000+ subnets that host Github Actions (run this curl command to see that giant list of subnets: !curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/meta) Wouldn't SSH be secure as long as I protect the ssh private key and as long as github doesn't get hacked?

    Hello, all. I have a need for some short-term documentation of our entire server infrastructure and was wondering if anyone knew of any free tools for it? I can dump it all into a Confluence page or even a Jira ticket but I'd prefer something a little more interactive/usable that can be searched and filtered. I would obviously need to be able to plug all the servers in along with all the info I need to provide for them (host names, OS versions, RAM, CPU(s), disk count, disk space, drive letters, internal and external NIC info) But, ideally, I would also be able to group (or simply tag) those servers with other info like the datacenter it is in, which app it services, hosts or other servers in the documentation that it depends on). It will need to be a manual entry tool. Meaning, I will not be able to install a client utility on all the servers that gathers and reports back this info... that'd be too easy)

I'm thinking probably not even a day to write a quick and dirty UI to do this but I also have to assume there is already something out there that serves this purpose. It's always felt like a pretty flooded market so hopefully some personal recommendations can help me with a short-list of tools to check out (instead of wading through more junk).
I doubt it matters but these are ALL windows VMs

In addition to finding a tool to fetch the hardware specs and generate a report, My suggestion is to get a tool like loom and screen record 5-10 minutes in continuous sequence explaining (and showing) everything at an overview level both hierarchically and relationally between the systems. Video can help generate screenshots where needed. If you are descriptive enough in the videos while speaking, it will transcribe and generate a transcript as a starting point for you too. It’s unclear if you have a few, dozens, or hundreds of items to document in the server infrastructure but I hope the above is of some use
