Building TNP: Why I Built an Enterprise-Realistic DevOps Lab (Part 0)
Short summary
A 10-part series documenting a self-built, enterprise-realistic DevOps lab modeled after a fictional 150-person fintech called TNP Technologies. Unlike typical homelab tutorials that teach tools in isolation, this series forces real constraints—audit trails, secrets management, environment isolation, security gates—onto a hybrid on-prem/AWS infrastructure running on a single 64GB machine. The author even invented a six-role org chart to design meaningful RBAC, since solo builders otherwise default to admin-for-everything.
