Practical articles on AI, DevOps, Cloud, Linux, and infrastructure engineering.
A practical guide to AIOps and self-healing infrastructure: the maturity ladder from alert to autonomous remediation, observability as the foundation, anomaly detection, Kubernetes-native self-healing, an operator-driven remediation loop, agentic SRE, and the guardrails that keep automation safe.
A production-focused Argo CD and GitOps guide: declarative Applications and ApplicationSets, app-of-apps, sync waves and hooks, automated self-heal and prune, progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts, projects/RBAC, and secure secrets — with copy-paste examples.
A production-focused CircleCI guide: orbs, reusable commands and executors, workflows with fan-in/fan-out, contexts and OIDC for secrets, layered caching, test splitting, approval jobs, and dynamic config — with copy-paste examples.
A production-focused Jenkins guide: declarative pipelines, shared libraries, ephemeral agents on Kubernetes, scoped credentials, parallel stages, input approvals, post-block rollback and notifications, and Configuration as Code — with copy-paste examples.
A production-focused GitLab CI/CD guide: include/extends templates, rules and workflow, needs DAGs, cache vs artifacts, protected environments, masked/protected variables and Vault, built-in security scanning, and review apps — with copy-paste examples.
A production-focused GitHub Actions guide: reusable workflows, least-privilege permissions, keyless OIDC to the cloud, SHA-pinned actions, environments with approvals, concurrency-safe deploys, and CodeQL/Dependabot gates — with copy-paste examples.
A practical risk-management framework for release timing, Friday deployment policies, progressive delivery, and how elite teams protect reliability and people.
Cut Kubernetes spend without hurting reliability using a practical FinOps playbook for rightsizing, autoscaling guardrails, showback, and weekly waste cleanup.
Error budgets turn "how reliable should we be?" into a number both product and SRE can spend. Here is how we set, alert on, and enforce them.
How to implement Backstage with real templates, scorecards, and golden paths so internal platform work reduces delivery friction.
A practical pattern for monorepo CI with path filters, matrix builds, caching, and deployment guards that keep feedback fast as teams scale.
A production-focused, example-rich guide to Azure DevOps: template-driven YAML, immutable artifact promotion, secure OIDC service connections, environment approvals, canary rollouts with automatic rollback, IaC governance, and DORA-driven delivery reliability.
