Enterprise Cloud Engineer & DevOps Series. Building scalable architecture in public - one project, one blueprint, one week at a time.

After years of managing enterprise cloud systems behind closed corporate doors, I’m taking everything I know about infrastructure engineering and open-sourcing it. I am launching a new initiative: one live Cloud & DevOps project every week , completely documented in public. No theoretical fluff, just real-world deployments, networking configurations, and security blueprints built for engineers…

After years of managing enterprise cloud systems, the author is open-sourcing their infrastructure engineering knowledge by launching a new initiative. The initiative consists of one live Cloud & DevOps project each week, with complete documentation available in public. The first project focused on Linux, Git, GitHub, and a first script. The author intentionally included mistakes to demonstrate the value of learning from errors.

  • $1,400 saved by pausing unused Compute Engine instances and Cloud SQL database

Halo is the new Doom and most software will soon be effectively open source (by force or by choice)
