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 — Infrastructure APIs

Covers the API surface an infrastructure platform exposes to its consumers and to automation.

2 — Self-Service Infrastructure

Covers designing self-service infrastructure provisioning — catalogs, request flows, and guardrails for developer-initiated provisioning.

3 — Workflow Automation

Covers workflow automation for infrastructure operations — orchestrating multi-step provisioning and change processes.

5 — Platform Orchestration

Covers orchestration across the infrastructure platform's automation components, tying provisioning, policy, and workflow together.
