Platform engineering, without the pitch

Boring isa feature

Most writing teaches you the quickstart. I've spent my career where it never fits your deployment model, so I ended up learning the mechanism whether I wanted to or not. This is what came out of that. What actually happens when you run it, in plain terms. Some pieces introduce a tool you haven't met. Some fix the way you're running one. Either way, the point is boring infra that just works.
