What's the difference between fixed-income and debt?

Can anyone illustrate the difference between these two? i.e I usually see 'infrastructure debt' rather than 'infrastructure fixed-income', 'fixed-income ETF' rather than 'debt ETF'

For the job title, what's the difference between 'fixed-income analyst' and 'credit analyst'?

For the strategy, what's the difference among 'debt investmnet', 'security investment (real asset securities)', 'credit investment' and 'fixed-income investment'?

Thank you so much.
