To K8S and Beyond – Maturing Your Platform Engineering Initiative
summary
Explains using the CNCF Platform Maturity Model to map five concrete aspects — investment, adoption, interface, operations and measurement — and shows a path for an enterprise Centre of Excellence aiming to onboard 20+ teams in 12–18 months. Recommends getting C‑level buy‑in, shifting from project to platform as product, hiring product/research roles, adding central tracking and reliable qualitative metrics, doing technical due diligence (multi‑tenancy, observability, automation) and prioritizing adoption blockers like developer confidence and missing features.
