Infrastructure overview
Infrastructure covers the foundational computing resources and operational practices that underpin all software systems — whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. It includes server and VM provisioning, networking (VPCs, DNS, load balancers, firewalls), storage (block, object, file), identity and access management, cost management, and disaster recovery. This domain sits below Cloud Infrastructure (cloud-specific IaaS/PaaS services) and Platform Engineering (developer-facing abstractions built on top). Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible) are central to the discipline.

description
Infrastructure covers the foundational computing resources and
operational practices that underpin all software systems — whether
on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.
It includes server and VM provisioning, networking (VPCs, DNS, load
balancers, firewalls), storage (block, object, file), identity and
access management, cost management, and disaster recovery. This domain
sits below Cloud Infrastructure (cloud-specific IaaS/PaaS services)
and Platform Engineering (developer-facing abstractions built on top).
Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible) are central
to the discipline.
