Keynote Talk: Platform as a Product: Are We Nearly There Yet
summary
Kubernetes is ubiquitous but building an internal platform on it is hard; treating the platform with a product mindset improves adoption and measurable outcomes. Examples include Syntasso’s CTIC open source framework, a Canadian bank that drives increased deployment frequency, USwitch reporting growth in revenue and profit after adopting the platform approach, and realtor.com’s evangelism case study. Practical steps: hire or assign product roles, do user research by watching teams, and use the CNCF platform maturity model to plan improvements.
