Things I actually use and keep coming back to. Repos, tools, references, and the occasional rabbit hole worth going down.
Kubernetes
- Kubernetes Official Docs — The authoritative reference. Concepts, API docs, and tasks all in one place. I still find myself here regularly regardless of how long I’ve been working with it.
AWS
- AWS Well-Architected Framework — The five pillars every AWS architecture should be measured against. Useful both for reviews and for stress-testing your own design decisions.
Courses
- Jenkins Full Course — Solid end-to-end coverage of Jenkins for CI/CD. Good for getting up to speed or filling in gaps.
- Prometheus Full Course — Covers Prometheus from the ground up including alerting and Grafana integration. The one I recommend when people are getting started with observability.
Terraform & IaC
- awesome-tf — Curated list of Terraform resources, tools, and community projects. Good starting point when looking for modules, providers, or best practice patterns.
