Abstracts

Tom Tom talk:
TomTom's engineering teams want to benefit from using Kubernetes but do not always have the knowledge or resources to manage their own infrastructure. The platform engineering organization at TomTom offers a managed, multitenant Kubernetes environment to other teams. How did we solve this problem while providing a great developer experience?

Ambient talk:
Everybody wants the atomic power a service mesh provides but how do we harness it safely? Maintaining a service mesh shouldn’t feel like armageddon for infrastructure owners. Sidecars are great but can feel radioactive to application teams. Is there a cheaper, cleaner, safer way?
