Session
Standardizing Kubernetes sounds straightforward — until different clouds, regulations, teams, and operational models start colliding.
In this session, I’ll share lessons learned building a reusable Helm-based platform used across 4 cloud providers and 5 countries in financial environments. We’ll explore how readiness probes, affinity rules, and topology spread constraints helped improve reliability, but also where standardization created friction, unexpected operational challenges, and cultural resistance.
This talk is less about “perfect Kubernetes” and more about the real engineering trade-offs behind platform consistency, resiliency, and scaling DevOps practices across distributed teams.
