Knowledge Base

Welcome to the Knowledge Base - a structured repository of knowledge organized across multiple dimensions to support learning, implementation, and architectural decision-making.

🧠 How to Think About This Structure

This knowledge base is organized into 4 dimensions:

Foundations / Platforms - Core concepts and vendor-neutral knowledge (Kubernetes, Docker, Cloud, Linux, Networking)
Methods / Ways of Doing Things - Implementation approaches (install from scratch, managed, k3s vs kubeadm, etc.)
Use-cases / Projects - Real-world applications (monitoring, APM, CI/CD, logging, security)
Architectures & Decisions - Design patterns, tradeoffs, and why certain choices were made

The documentation is designed to be:

Navigable - Easy to find what you need
Reusable - Content can be referenced across contexts
Comparable - Compare different approaches side-by-side
Evolvable - Structure scales as knowledge grows

📚 Sections

Foundations

Core concepts and vendor-neutral knowledge. Learn once, reuse forever.

Platforms

How to run Kubernetes and infrastructure. Real setups, commands, and gotchas.

Projects

Real-world use cases with complete implementations. Each project includes context, architecture, setup, problems & fixes, and lessons learned.

Architectures

Design patterns, tradeoffs, and architectural decisions. Includes diagrams, why this design, alternatives, and cost & complexity notes.

CI/CD

Continuous integration and deployment. Concepts, tools, and implementations.

Cloud

Provider-specific deep dives for AWS, GCP, Azure, and more.

Toolbox

Quick references, cheatsheets, and snippets for fast lookup.

Notes & Deep Dives

Thinking out loud - comparisons, insights, and deep technical explorations.
