## AI overview

The article introduces Platform Engineering 2.0 as an evolution of existing platform-engineering practices for the AI era, not a replacement or rebuild. It argues that platforms designed for simpler workloads, human-paced development, and annual change must adapt to new demands, including centralized governance, cost discipline, security posture, infrastructure concerns, and AI readiness. The framework is based on industry reports, DORA 2025, and expert interviews, with the excerpt previewing five forces and five pillars.
