Kubernetes Is Not Your Platform, It's Just the Foundation

We’ll look at how platforms can minimize cognitive load and end with ideas on how to take a team-centric approach to Kubernetes adoption. Start with Kubernetes Is Not Your Platform, It's Just the Foundation .

I read a lot of articles and see presentations on impressive Kubernetes tools, automation, and different ways to use the technology but these often offer little context about the organization other than the name of the teams involved. 

We can’t really judge the success of technology adoption, particularly Kubernetes, if we don't know who asked for it, who needs it, and who is implementing it in which ways. We need to know how teams are buying into this new offering — or not.

In Team Topologies, which I wrote with Matthew Skelton, we talk about fundamental types of teams, their expected behaviors and purposes, and perhaps more importantly about the interactions among teams. Because that's what's going to drive adoption of technology. If we don't take that into consideration, we might fall into a trap and build technologies or services that no one needs or which have no clear use case.

Team cognitive load has a direct effect on platform success and team interaction patterns can help reduce unnecessary load on product teams. We’ll look at how platforms can minimize cognitive load and end with ideas on how to take a team-centric approach to Kubernetes adoption.

Our original Kubernetes tool list was so popular that we've curated another great list of tools to help you improve your functionality with the platform.

This article explains how you can leverage Kubernetes to reduce multi cloud complexities and improve stability, scalability, and velocity.
