Platform engineering

Yeah.

So Kubernetes is often introduced when an organization is looking into platform engineering.

And with platform engineering, it typically means that you want to remove the mental load of the doing things so for instance creating new infrastructure and support this with a platform that that makes you capable of do so so it's an abstraction layer it takes away a lot of the heavy lifting and enables other teams and this platform engineering is often where you see that it's adopted because a customer wants to be able to experiment more and faster and yeah

Let's dig into that platform engineering.

Does that mean if I'm a company who rightfully decided to adopt Kubernetes, my next step is building a platform engineering team? Or how does that look like? What's my next step?

Yeah, so what you need to understand is that you shouldn't just build a team out of the most nerdy people you find that know about infrastructure, code, networking, yada, yada, yada, and let them build a platform where everyone just throws their things on top of.

that's unlikely to work.

Otherwise...
