Cisco's Devnet Goes Cloud Native: A Case Study on Transforming to Cloud Native [I]
summary
Cisco moves DevNet from siloed CMS and sandboxes into Kubernetes clusters on GCE and AWS, running Prometheus for metrics, Drone for CI/CD, nginx ingress with kube-lego for TLS, and offering Cassandra or Postgres as managed options. The team deploys a user profile service and a gamification service first, proves legacy systems consume the profile API, and reduces duplicated auth, logging and pipelines. Sandboxes keep bare metal but use Kubernetes workers to automate resets. Work is live and incrementally successful, with a planned play-with-k8s playground.
