Understand readiness, surge capacity, graceful shutdown, and telemetry without treating rolling updates as an availability guarantee.
Network boundaries, state isolation, reviewed changes, and recovery planning for a hypothetical AWS workload.
Build once, use short-lived identities, protect release gates, and verify the artifact you actually deploy.
Attribute spend, remove idle waste, and treat unused production capacity as a named reliability choice—not an automatic saving.
Control identity, artifacts, secrets, and promotion policy along the path code already travels. A scanner report is not a security program.
How HPA, resource requests, and cluster capacity interact—and why a target utilization is not a capacity plan.
Build a usable telemetry model around user-facing SLIs, bounded cardinality, and alerts that have a next step.
Isolate blast radius with accounts, identities, state, and promotion of the same artifact—not a shared admin role with three VPC names.
