Infrastructure Platform Engineering

A book-shaped table of contents for infrastructure platform engineering: from infrastructure operations to self-service platforms, IaC foundations, Terraform/OpenTofu, cloud platform design, networking, identity, compute, storage, golden images, automation, governance, observability, reliability, enterprise platforms, anti-patterns, and MAANG interview prep — cross-linking existing sre/networks/kubernetes/patterns/internal-developer-platforms notes instead of duplicating them.

1 — Cloud Architecture Principles

Covers foundational cloud architecture principles — scalability, high availability, fault domains, and the shared responsibility model.

2 — Landing Zones

Designs a cloud landing zone — account/subscription structure, organizational units, and resource hierarchy — as the platform's foundational boundary.

4 — Hybrid Cloud Platforms

Covers hybrid cloud platform design — on-premises integration, connectivity, identity federation, and workload placement decisions.

1 — From Infrastructure Operations to Infrastructure Platforms

Traces how infrastructure management evolved from ticket-driven operations into a product built by a platform team for internal infrastructure consumers.
