If I could be bothered to sit and write down a distilled version of my last decade at work it would be something very similar. Any junior SRE can benefit from this.
DevOps

I'm not devops but this seemed reasonable from what I've seen.
Though having infrastructure weigh in with "go should be your language of choice" seems weird.
This is excellent. I may copy the rough format for tracking things internally at my company!
Btw, I agree with most of your decisions in here with just a few exceptions.
- kustomize > helm
- Argo > flux
My last thought is less clear though. There are good observability solutions besides datadog. Grafana Cloud is great. Honeycomb has a similar offering. But all are pretty expensive though.
If you aren’t using OpenTelemetry, you’re probably doing observability wrong!
I've only used helm and hadn't considered kustomize as an equivalent, what about kustomize makes it bette in your opinion?
Even for someone who’s only dabbled in infrastructure, this was a fun read.
