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 — Storage Services

Covers the platform's storage service catalog — object, block, and file storage offerings.

3 — Backup & Recovery

Covers backup and recovery design for platform-provisioned storage — backup policy, replication, and recovery strategy.

4 — Data Governance

Covers data governance for platform storage — classification, encryption, retention, and lifecycle policy enforcement.

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.
