Kubernetes Platform Engineering

A book-shaped table of contents for Kubernetes platform engineering: architecture, multi-tenancy, platform automation, Helm, Cluster API, Crossplane, platform services, observability, security, reliability, and enterprise operations — cross-linking existing kubernetes/observability/platform-engineering notes instead of duplicating them.

1 — Kubernetes Platform Reference Architecture

A consolidated reference diagram and component list for the platform architecture described across this book.

2 — Cluster Design Decision Matrix

A decision matrix for choosing cluster topology, control-plane management, and node architecture given a set of constraints.

4 — GitOps Repository Structures

Reference repository layouts for GitOps-managed Kubernetes platforms, from single-cluster to fleet scale.

5 — Platform API Design Examples

Worked examples of platform API and resource-claim design for self-service infrastructure.
