Networking
TCP/IP, DNS, load balancers, and VPCs — debug latency and outages in AI services.
Maturity level: L2 — Can Build
Six perspectives on Networking
Roadmap
Learn in Foundation alongside Linux — required for cloud and K8s depth.
Architecture
Connects users to APIs, models, and data stores.
Company
Listed for platform, SRE, and AI infrastructure roles.
Projects
Network diagram every architecture you design.
Interview
Troubleshooting and VPC/load balancer questions.
Career
Separates script deployers from production engineers.
What & Why
What: Fundamentals of how services communicate across networks and the internet.
Why: Production AI APIs fail on DNS, TLS, timeouts, and firewall rules as often as on model bugs.
Build this
Trace a request from client → ingress → pod → database and document every network hop.
Production reality
- ! DNS failures
- ! Connection timeouts
- ! MTU issues
- ! Certificate expiry
- ! NAT exhaustion
Interview preparation
- Explain how a request reaches a K8s pod
- Debug intermittent 502 errors
- VPC peering basics
Connected skills
Explore Networking in the interactive universe or train with live cohorts.
