Source-grounded Azure system design: from primitives to production AI

Source-grounded enterprise system design course for building reliable, secure, and operable platforms on Azure, from first principles to production AI workloads. Covers enterprise system design, distributed systems, AI systems, cybersecurity, reliability, cloud (Azure), HPC, edge, and mission-critical infrastructure. From identity, network, API, data, queue, model, operator, recovery through Azure Well-Architected (reliability, security, cost, operations, performance) to production AI workloads where token budgets, retrieval quality, latency, and tool authority become architecture. By Dr. Hazem Ali (Microsoft MVP). Clone: git clone https://github.com/DrHazemAli/enterprise-system-design.git - start with foundation/README.md, reference/ modules 00-10, and principals.
