How do you set up a secure, production-grade Kubernetes environment for an entire company - with just two engineers? In this talk, I’ll share the story of how we in Telenor built and launched a full GKE platform for Telenor Denmark using a small, nimble team and the power of automation, GitOps, and Google Cloud.
You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at:
- Our architecture choices and why we went with GKE
- How we used Terraform, Argo CD, and policy automation to move fast without breaking things
- Governance and security considerations in a highly regulated environment
- Lessons learned from cross-border collaboration and platform rollout
Whether you're scaling your platform team or trying to expand your footprint across regions or business units, this talk will show you what's possible with the right tooling and a strong platform mindset.
