Platform As A Product: Getting Into The Mindset With User Stories
When you create user stories for your platform, do they all start with “As a platform engineer …”? Switching up how you write stories can engage Product Thinking and give you much happier customers! The Traditional Approach Historically, systems people (including everyone from sysadmins through SREs, platform engineers, etc) have had a tough time with creating agile user stories. They frequently go through contortions to describe the work as internal (making our work feel user-oriented can be tough)...
Join the Infrastructure Lifecycle Working Group 💙
Are you looking to influence the future of infrastructure management in cloud-native environments? The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee has recently approved the Infrastructure Lifecycle working group within the TAG App Delivery, and we need your expertise! As cloud-native practices evolve, infrastructure needs are becoming more complex. IT professionals now face the challenge of managing workloads across different environments. These include cloud platforms, IoT edge devices, on-premises data centers, and hybrid setups...
Platform Engineering in 2024, Industry Trends and Emerging Focus (An holistic proposal for Internal Developer Platforms named Platform Engineering ++)
In this blog post, I’ll explore Platform Engineering, covering its diverse interpretations and implementations across organizations. I’m trying to answer to the following question: “Should Internal Developer Platforms be limited to self-service infrastructure provisioning and application deployment?” Organizations approach Platform Engineering in different ways: Some build self-service tools for infrastructure provisioning, giving developers autonomy over infrastructure management. Others focus on enhancing the developer experience, simplifying coding and deployment. Some adopt a marketplace-centric approach, creating a repository of reusable components like containers, data, and APIs...
Invitation To Participate in Platform As A Product Research
Invitation to participate in Platform As A Product Research (Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a product manager!) The CNCF Platforms Working Group is pleased to announce a research effort to increase our understanding of how the industry is building internal platforms and we’d like you to participate. After the publishing of the Platform Maturity Model, the working group’s next area of focus has been on Platform As A Product...
Product Thinking for Platforms
Product Thinking For Platforms Introduction Are you building platforms your engineers love to use? KubeCon EU 2024 just wrapped up and while the buzz around AI was omnipresent, there was another topic the cloud native community couldn’t seem to get enough of: platform engineering. It doesn’t matter if you attended the very first CoLocated Platform Engineering Day, listened in on the Platform Engineering Talks Track, strolled through the sponsored booth hall or just sat at home checking your Social Media Thread with FOMO...
Enterprise IDPs must mature fast. Here’s how infrastructure optimization can help
Enterprises are expected to benefit from platform engineering sooner and bigger than anyone else. This has 2 main reasons: With engineering bodies 100’s or 1,000’s large, standardization across the board is both a pressing need and a major event. In large organizations, concerns like security, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency can impede development. With these two combined, the enterprise route to faster time-to-market must also go through scalable, effective guardrails along the product lifecycle...
Platform Engineering At KubeCon EU 2024 - Recap
Exactly a month ago, Kubernetes users and experts gathered in the City of Lights, Paris, for KubeCon’s Europe edition. With over 12,000 in-person attendees, this KubeCon was amongst the largest in recent times. While there was A LOT of attention and chatter around Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI, Platform Engineering was well represented. This was the first “Platform Engineering Day,” where enthusiasts had dedicated space to discuss anything and everything related to platform engineering...
Practical Paths to Platform Maturity: Insights from KubeCon Paris
If you were lucky enough to be at KubeCon in Paris last week, you might have heard Nicki Watt from OpenCredo give a practical walkthrough of the CNCF’s Platform Maturity Model. Nicki was an early contributor to the development of the model, and she spoke about her experience using it with client organizations. Some of the topics that Nicki covers include: Understanding Starting Points and Goals: how to assess an organization’s current position within the CNCF Platform Maturity Model aspects, and then how to identify opportunities...

Infrastructure for Apps: Platforms for Cooperative Delivery
TAG App Delivery formed the Cooperative Delivery working group in late 2021 to gather and report on emerging trends around coordinated delivery of infrastructure capabilities and applications. The TAG noted that while infrastructure teams are successfully adopting software development practices and deploying features and fixes continuously via the likes of GitOps and IaC (Infrastructure as Code), delivery of infrastructure capabilities is often not coordinated well with delivery of applications using that infrastructure...

Clusters for all cloud tenants
A decision which faces many large organizations as they adopt cloud architecture is how to provide isolated spaces within the same environments and clusters for various teams and purposes. For example, marketing and sales applications may need to be isolated from an organization’s customer-facing applications; and development teams building any app usually require extra spaces for tests and verification. Namespace as unit of tenancy To address this need, many organizations have started to use namespaces as units of isolation and tenancy, a pattern previously described by Google and Kubernetes contributors...
