Platform Engineering is evolving fast, and internal developer platforms (IDPs) promise efficiency — but are they truly reducing toil or just repackaging complexity? Billy Thompson, Senior Field Compute Technology Manager at Akamai will walk you through practical examples of deploying multi-tenant Kubernetes workloads and building scalable IDPs using GitOps, Pulumi IaC, and the Akamai App Platform, an integrated and pre-configured stack of CNCF open source projects to support all the essential capabilities for running cloud native applications in production on Kubernetes.

You will learn:

• How to define and manage Kubernetes infrastructure with Pulumi IaC
• How to create and manage users, teams, and workload environments
• How to build a catalog of team-scoped quick-start deployments and apps
