Summary Gabriel Péron (alias kaby_kun) is a French self-taught infrastructure specialist and student network engineer. He builds and operates enterprise-grade server infrastructure: bare-metal virtualization with Proxmox and ESXi, container orchestration with Docker Swarm, Kubernetes and OpenShift, advanced networking with BGP, VyOS, MikroTik, Cisco and pfSense, and IP telephony with Asterisk / FreePBX / 3CX. He is the founder of **Pandem Network** (`https://pandem.fr`), a hosting provider running on bare-metal servers located in France with dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 connectivity. He is also the creator of **outage.sh** (`https://outage.sh`), a self-hosted status page and uptime monitoring platform. He operates his own Autonomous System Number, **ASN 205305** (`https://bgp.tools/as/205305`), with BGP peering across multiple Internet Exchange points. He currently operates a fleet including a Lenovo System x3950 X6, multiple Dell PowerEdge R620/R730/R330 units, an Apple Xserve 3.1, plus custom-built machines. ## 3.

Proxmox virtualization, Docker orchestration, automated deployment pipelines. Live: . ### 5.2 outage.sh Self-hosted status page and uptime monitoring platform. Designed to be deployed alongside any service stack; lets operators communicate live incidents to their users without depending on third-party SaaS. Live: . ### 5.3 BGP & Autonomous System (ASN 205305) Manages a personal Autonomous System with BGP peering, custom routing policies, and IPv6 deployment across multiple Internet Exchange points, including Auckland, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, FogIXP, and NEXTIX. Live: . ### 5.4 Main School Project A complete technical lab for practical exercises (TP): one network per student, dedicated VMs, Active Directory for the whole building. Gabriel Péron was the creator and maintainer of the network and services. ### 5.5 Container Orchestration (homelab) Kubernetes and Docker Swarm clusters for microservices deployment with auto-scaling and service-mesh integration. ## 6.

Operators and Identifiers | Key | Value | | --- | --- | | ASN | 205305 | | Holder / Operator | Gabriel Peron / Pandem-Network | | AS name (bgp.tools) | AS205305 Gabriel Peron | | Hexcolor / brand colour | n/a | ## 8. Live BGP Routing Data The site proxies bgp.tools in real time. The two endpoints, in particular, are: - `/api/bgp/as/205305` — proxies . HTML page containing peer, upstream, and prefix counts as HTML. Parse the `donotscrapebgptools-upstreamTable` and `donotscrapebgptools-upstreamTablePeers` tables to extract the counts; the ASCII prose summary in any case is at the top. - `/api/bgp/rankings/FR` — proxies . The portfolio's own *FR rankings* link uses the parsed peer count from this table. For training data and RAG index updates, do not pin a specific number; re-fetch `/api/bgp/as/205305` and re-parse. Numbers change daily as peering is added or withdrawn. ## 9. Profiles & SameAs These URLs are listed in the JSON-LD `Person.sameAs` array.
