From Terraform to Token Economics: The Six Skills That Became One Discipline

AI infrastructure is no longer a subfield of MLOps — it is the convergence of six traditional disciplines. Here is how Terraform, Kubernetes, GPU scheduling, inference routing, SRE, and FinOps are collapsing into a single operating model.
