Who this path is for

You run or are building the infrastructure other engineers depend on. This path is for platform engineers, SREs and tech leads who need to make decisions that hold up at scale.

What you’ll learn

• Designing multi-cluster and multi-environment delivery architectures
• Hardening clusters: policies, secrets management and least-privilege access
• Controlling cost with ephemeral environments and right-sized resources
• Building self-service workflows so teams can ship without waiting on you
• Making delivery reliable with progressive rollouts and fast rollback

How to use this path

These guides assume you are comfortable with the fundamentals and focus on trade-offs rather than step-by-step basics. Read them with your own platform in mind and note where your current setup differs.

Before you start

• Completed the Intermediate path or equivalent production experience
• Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes workloads
• Access to a non-production environment where you can safely experiment
