Practices#
Practices are the disciplines layered on top of the technical infrastructure. Platform engineering builds the abstractions other operators and product teams ship through; SRE applies a software-engineering mindset to operating the result under load and contact; DevSecOps folds security into the same loop instead of bolting it on at the end.
The operator borrows from all three, platform thinking to keep tooling reusable across missions, SRE thinking to keep what is deployed observable and recoverable, DevSecOps thinking to keep the blast radius small without slowing the ship rate.
Building internal developer platforms. The opinionated layer between application teams and the cloud / K8s stack.
Site Reliability Engineering. A software-engineering mindset applied to operations.
Security as a property of every commit, build, deploy, and running workload, not a gate at the end.
