Writing

Notes from the practice

Ayman Zahran · Cloud, platform, SRE, and AI

These are original essays about how I actually work: infrastructure that can be reviewed, platforms that stay up across many clusters, what AI agents change on freelance marketplaces, and how this site itself is shipped. They are written for people who hire or collaborate with me, not as a content farm.

• Everything as Code is an operating model, not a tooling preference

  Why the useful version of “as code” is reviewability across languages, and where the idea stops.

• Platform and SRE work across many Kubernetes clusters

  Golden paths, upgrade trains, GitOps, and the toil that actually moves an error budget.

• AI agents on freelance platforms

  What to measure when agents enter a marketplace of trust, and what should stay with a person.

• Running a personal site on Firebase Hosting and Cloud Build

  How aymanzahran.com is built, why static files beat the SPA rewrite, and what I refuse to fake.
