Michelin re-architects a Kubernetes platform to run 441 business applications across 62 cloud and on‑prem clusters, automating lifecycle and infra provisioning with Cluster API, Crossplane and ArgoCD plus GitOps repos and ArgoCD AppSets. Platform engineering cost falls 44% year‑over‑year, upgrade lead time drops from months to weeks (about an 85% reduction), junior engineers handle upgrades, and cluster footprint still grows during the migration.
