Cloud & DevOps

AWS/GCP, IaC, and shipping it

Not written yet

Compute, storage, IAM, and the pipeline that gets code from a laptop to production — provider-agnostic where it can be, concrete where it has to be. Beginner through advanced, laid out the same way as the rest of the shelf.

Meanwhile

Nothing here is written yet, but these are.

Straight talk

Three honest notes

  • IAM shows up in beginner as "the four ideas you need" and again in advanced as "cross-account, federated, at scale" — access control is the thing that quietly causes the worst incidents either way.

  • This deliberately bridges into Docker and Kubernetes rather than re-teaching them — containers-as-a-service (ECS/Cloud Run) is the advanced chapter's bridge, not a rebuild of either curriculum.

  • FinOps and multi-account strategy are the deepest, most organization-shaped layer — most individual developers never own them, but the advanced tier doesn't skip them.
