CloudJi brings together my hands-on cloud and AI infrastructure projects, architecture decisions, and technical articles. It explores how systems are designed, secured, automated, monitored, and evolved—from traditional cloud platforms to AI infrastructure—while also covering other technologies and projects that interest me.
Begins with keyword search, adds embeddings and chunk-based vector retrieval, then introduces LLM generation with grounded citations. The frontend remains static while APIs and managed services provide dynamic behavior.
A structured way to turn technical topics into repeatable junior-level exercises: objectives, prerequisites, guided implementation, verification steps, troubleshooting, and review questions.
A hands-on exploration of certificate chains, TLS handshakes, mTLS, Smallstep, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and how workload identity changes trust between services and agents.
