Building an open-source platform for a 105-year-old company

Description

Developing a container orchestration platform can pose a significant challenge, often deterring many due to its complexity, particularly when the team lacks the necessary expertise. Numerous decisions must be made when navigating through the multitude of CNCF-certified tools available to address similar challenges.

This webinar highlights how a 105-year-old company built its Internal Developer Platform using entirely open-source tools from the CNCF.

In this talk, Harshad will examine:

• The challenges and lessons from building an IDP at a 100+ year-old traditional enterprise
• How to navigate the immense CNCF landscape, and identify the tools you need, and how best to use them
• The learnings from building a Kubernetes platform are entirely from open-source with tools like ArgoCD, Rancher, KubeCost, Kyverno, and so on.

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
