RegIntel — What Does a Platform Engineer Actually Do? DevOps, Cloud, CI/CD Explained. - Part-5

Описание: What does Platform Engineering mean? DevOps Engineering? Cloud Engineering? Infrastructure? Cyber Security?

I get this question from nearly every youngster I interview or work with. In this video (Part 5 of 8), I explain what Platform Engineers actually do — not by listing technologies, but by showing how the role fits inside a real project.

What I cover:
→ First step is always — know what problem we are solving, not what technology to use
→ Every business works differently — Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon all have different cultures
→ What Platform Engineers do: deploy solutions to the cloud, manage the foundation where the solution lives
→ The flow: code → quality gates → GitHub/GitLab → CI/CD pipelines → cloud → customer
→ Environments: developer environment → acceptance testing → production
→ Observing, monitoring, and securing production — DDoS attacks, HTTPS, certificates
→ Cyber security doesn't mean applying 100% of principles to every project — it depends on scope and criticality
→ Customer means three things: the developers, the people accepting the solution, and the real end users
→ Think of it like a university — there's a structure, you join and follow your journey within it

The real key to Platform Engineering? Network fundamentals. That's your starting point.
