Inside this module
Module 01 advanced
Build a dependable engineering platform
Understand containers, reconciliation, delivery, and the interfaces that make shared infrastructure usable.
- 01
Linux control groups
Translate CPU and memory policies into measurable resource envelopes, then diagnose when a limit becomes a service bottleneck.
29 min - 02
Namespaces and containers
Separate isolated views, mapped identities, resource budgets, and trust boundaries when designing a container runtime policy.
28 min - 03
Container image supply
Follow image bytes from build to admission using content identity, provenance, signature policy, and a realistic trust model.
30 min - 04
Service discovery and routing
Follow a request from logical service name to live backend while separating DNS, endpoint publication, connection reuse, and draining.
29 min - 05
Control loops and reconciliation
Design repeatable controllers around observed state, delayed feedback, idempotent actions, and bounded recovery.
32 min - 06
Infrastructure as code
Use declarative infrastructure with explicit state ownership, reviewed plans, bounded blast radius, and recovery from partial execution.
31 min - 07
Configuration and secrets
Version behavioral inputs and rotate credentials through explicit propagation, reload, revocation, and rollback contracts.
29 min - 08
Progressive delivery
Expose a release in measured stages with capacity-aware traffic allocation, comparable observations, and reversible promotion gates.
32 min - 09
Platform interfaces and tenancy
Offer a small reliable platform contract while controlling identity, resource allocation, isolation, and the scope of shared failures.
30 min - 10
Platform economics and measurement
Evaluate an engineering platform using successful user outcomes, unit economics, delivery behavior, and carefully qualified comparisons.
