Platform Engineering Is the Future of Ops

Ops and DevOps roles as we know them are on their way to becoming extinct—the future is platform engineering. While DevOps engineers typically focus on the application layer, platform engineers focus on the underlying infrastructure layer. Without a solid and reliable platform, it can be challenging to deploy and maintain software applications effectively. This can result in downtime, poor performance, and security vulnerabilities. Platform engineering enables software applications and services to run effectively and efficiently and has a direct impact on the user experience and the success of the entire organization.

Why would you want to harden your infrastructure and systems to start with? Isn’t Linux secure enough already? A fully secure system is made up of many layers, from the hardware to the operating system and the application servers running your mission-critical code.
