summary
Condé Nast runs a self-hosted Kubernetes platform (Tectonic) across nine clusters in five regions and migrates ~35 sites, serving ~260M pageviews; Helm is the de facto deployer with ~10 base charts and ~10 platform engineers. Application teams contribute directly to charts, producing concrete wins: graceful pod termination that reduces 500s, targetAverageValue HPA for stable scaling, pod annotations for AWS permissions to access services, and secret volumes for credentials — all merged and running in production.
