Learnings from the Enterprise-Level Kubernetes Transformation at Elkjøp Nordic

Explore the enterprise-level Kubernetes transformation journey at Elkjøp Nordic in this conference talk. Gain insights into modernizing infrastructure while maintaining business operations, focusing on the implementation of 200+ in-house developed microservices. Learn about the transition from Azure App Service with .NET to a more cloud-native approach using .NET Core and Kubernetes. Discover the guiding principles for selecting CNCF technology, implementing GitOps for centralized state management and disaster recovery, and utilizing Linkerd for security and aspect-oriented programming. Understand the importance of metrics in monitoring, alerting, and bridging the gap between management and developers. Delve into the migration story, principles introduced, solutions for poor networking code, disaster recovery management, and rapid platform building and scaling. Gain valuable knowledge on topics such as CNCF principles, documentation practices, professional team management, scaling issues, Git Ups, bootstrapping, platform components, system repositories, service mesh implementation, metrics vs. logs discussion, application transformation, topology overview, alerting and escalation rules, policy as code, automatic scaling, test scaling strategies, source network address translation, code quality metrics, cost savings, naming conventions, and the rationale behind choosing Kubernetes.
