TALK ABSTRACT

Our goal at Verizon is to create a shared multi-tenant container platform to:

• Accelerate our public cloud migration strategy
• Improve developer velocity
• Realize cost savings by reducing infrastructure spend
• Optimize resource utilization
• Enhance security, monitoring and governance framework that provides visibility from development to production

We achieved our goals by embracing open source Kubernetes and extending it to deploy a platform that provides a common set of components that are shared across the entire Verizon Enterprise.

The talk will highlight and share our experiences on

• Deployment
  • Securing helm deployments in a multi-tenant environment
    
    
• Manage Authentication & authorization (RBAC) for multi-tenant platform for large enterprise by leveraging kubectl plugins
  
  
• Logging
  • Support for diverse logging implementations for both brown(legacy) and green field applications
  • Configuration management using Custom Resource Definitions (CRD)
    
    
• Load Balancing
  • Efficiently using Ingress objects to manage cost and to provide end to end automation
    
    
• Security
  • Effectively using tools early on in the development process
  • Establishing container image management, scanning and runtime protection policies
