Beyond the fundamentals — service mesh, eBPF, chaos engineering, disaster recovery, and specialized low-latency / FinTech infrastructure. Each file below is self-contained; the read order is a suggestion, not a dependency chain.
Files
| File | Topics |
|---|---|
| service-mesh.md | Istio control/data plane, VirtualService, mTLS, circuit breaking, Linkerd vs Istio |
| ebpf-observability.md | eBPF verifier, bpftrace, BCC tools, Cilium, Tetragon, Hubble |
| chaos-engineering.md | Litmus Chaos, Chaos Mesh, game days, failure injection patterns |
| backup-dr.md | RTO/RPO math, Velero, etcd backup, PITR, AWS DR patterns, 3-2-1 rule |
| dr-zero-downtime.md | Zero-downtime deploys (graceful shutdown, preStop race, canary/blue-green, expand/contract DB migrations), active-active multi-region DR, sync/async/semi-sync replication RPO tradeoffs, write-blocked-on-failover mechanics + mitigation (failover-aware endpoints, retry+idempotency, degraded read-only mode) |
| low-latency-networking.md | AWS Direct Connect, BGP tuning, Transit Gateway multicast (IGMP), DPDK kernel bypass, EFA/RDMA, CPU isolation for HFT |
| fintech-security.md | SEBI CSCRF, CERT-In 6hr incident reporting, K8s audit policy for regulators, PAM/Teleport, zero-downtime secrets rotation |
