What is the Autonomous System Design for Modern course about?

Infrastructure teams waste months reconciling access, configuration, and scaling needs. Manual patches, siloed ownership, and fragile IAM setups create bottlenecks that slow every release. You're expected to deliver resilience, but the tools assume constant human intervention. The result? Technical debt piles up, incidents spike, and innovation stalls.
