About

I’m Rooz. I work on infrastructure and operations: networks, cloud platforms, and the machinery underneath that keeps services running when nobody is watching.

Most of what I know I learned by breaking something first. This blog is where I write it up afterwards. The things that turned out to be more subtle than they looked, the assumptions that did not survive contact with production, and occasionally something that just worked.

What I write about

• Network and cloud infrastructure: routing, resilience, failover, and the layers underneath the application
• Operations and observability: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and what AIOps means in practice
• Platform and tooling work, and the compromises that come with it

A note on scope

Everything here is my own view, written in my own time. It is not the position of any employer, and none of it is advice for your particular environment, since you know your systems and constraints better than I do.
