Many teams start with Kubernetes, and it works well for 5-10 projects, but adopting it at scale starts becoming a challenge.
That is where an enterprise-wide architecture practice helps scale Kubernetes deployments across the enterprise. This could be a set of standard practices, documentation, guidelines, or even tooling to enable broader adoption of Kubernetes across the enterprise.
This talk aims to bridge that gap and focus on a few common patterns, architectures and practices that help drive adoption across the enterprise.
In this session, we will go over : • Understanding the challenges involved with an enterprise-wide adoption of Kubernetes. • How those challenges can be handled by setting up an enterprise-ready application deployment platform / center of excellence that can help in rapid adoption of Kubernetes across the enterprise • To understand some of the key drivers to increase adoption and discuss some potential roadmaps on driving the adoption journey for cloud-native in general, and Kubernetes in particular, across the enterprise.
Key Takeaways :
- Get real-life examples of k8 implementation, and adoption use-cases.
- Discuss what went well, what went wrong, best practices & learning.
- Overview of the adoption challenges, and how teams can fix them, taking inspiration from our learnings.
- Learn about key principles, and strategies for building a k8 - focused internal platform.
- Discuss on org structure, team topologies, and the people / process part, which is ignored in many tech - led initiatives
