Tales of the mythical Cloud-Native Platform
summary
Kubernetes is presented as a low-level infrastructure kernel with a coherent API, not a cure for governance, legacy VM sprawl, or organizational problems. The talk describes a maintained private Kubernetes distribution successfully deployed across banks, payments, defense and political organizations, and argues the real solution is to invest in a platform team, define and codify Golden Paths, and accept that when organizations exceed roughly 10–20 engineers fragmentation grows and most costs come from managing existing systems.
