CI/CD Platform Engineering
A book-shaped table of contents for CI/CD platform engineering: pipeline foundations, build/artifact/delivery platforms, GitHub Actions end to end (workflow mechanics through enterprise governance), Argo Workflows, Tekton, Jenkins, release engineering, platform security, observability, reliability, enterprise governance, and MAANG interview preparation — cross-linking existing tech/kubernetes/platform-engineering-fundamentals/system-design notes instead of duplicating them.
Kubernetes
A book-shaped table of contents for Kubernetes: cloud-native foundations, the CKAD/CKA/CKS certification tracks, control-plane internals, platform tooling, multi-cluster architecture, and MAANG-level system design and interview prep — cross-linking the existing Prometheus, Observability, and Platform Engineering chapters instead of duplicating them.

4 — Cluster API
Cluster API models a whole cluster's lifecycle (bootstrap, upgrade, scale, teardown) as Kubernetes custom resources, turning fleet management into just another reconciliation loop instead of a bespoke provisioning script.
2 — EKS
EKS charges for the control plane yet still leaves CoreDNS, kube-proxy, and the CNI as self-managed add-ons, proving that 'managed Kubernetes' is a spectrum of responsibility rather than a single guarantee.
5 — Federation
KubeFed's decline in favor of GitOps-pushed manifests showed that replicating API objects across clusters is the wrong abstraction — the failure mode isn't the sync mechanism, it's treating clusters as one logical API server.
3 — GKE
GKE Autopilot bills per-pod resource request rather than per-node, which inverts the usual capacity-planning problem by making the scheduler itself the thing you optimize for cost, not the node pool.
