Architecture and Corporate Operating Structure: a Cloud Puzzle
summary
The talk argues that architecture drives the operational model by comparing three concrete cloud approaches: lift-and-shift to VMs, container platforms (Kubernetes/OpenShift) supported by a platform team, and serverless (Lambda/Cloud Functions). It presents numbers and case studies (hundreds of developers, 100–200 users on multi-tenant clusters, organizations of ~400 people), and shows trade-offs in compliance, cost and vendor lock-in while stressing that without platform teams, test automation and FinOps migrations slow or fail.
