From Sysadmins to (almost) Flying Unicorns
summary
Sony’s PlayStation cloud-streaming team reduces deployment time from months to minutes by adopting Kubernetes and creating cross-functional CFTs, implements SLOs to cut noisy paging, and builds an Ops tier plus an SRE Academy to convert hires into on-call engineers. Outcomes: 22 internal meetups with 46 speakers and ~600 cumulative attendees, a staff-engineer offsite that produces three strategic pillars and a five-year vision, and measurable improvements in deployment speed, observability and team alignment.
