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 Platform System Design

Works through infrastructure platform system design at the MAANG Staff/Principal bar — control plane, execution plane, and multi-tenant trade-offs.

2 — Designing Self-Service Infrastructure

Works through a self-service infrastructure design exercise — catalog, request flow, guardrails, and approval automation.

4 — Landing Zone Design Exercises

Works through landing zone design exercises for interview practice — account structure, governance, and network topology trade-offs.

5 — Infrastructure Governance Case Studies

Works through infrastructure governance case studies — policy as code, cost governance, and compliance trade-offs under interview conditions.
