Platform Perseverance: Taming 1,000 Kubernetes Clusters - Marcy Paramonova & Stéphane Cusin, Banque Pictet & Cie SA
Tuesday April 1, 2025 14:40 - 15:05 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room H
Imagine orchestrating the technological backbone for 650 engineers working across various products- all with a team smaller than a typical startup’s founding team. This is not just their challenge; it’s their daily reality.

This talk will describe how a team of three platform engineers navigated regulatory landscapes, operational hurdles, and demanding change management requirements to manage 1,000 Kubernetes clusters for a private Swiss bank. Their approach: deploying a platform solely with CNCF components, custom operators, and a homemade managed Kubernetes service.

Top achievement? They can now update all clusters within a two-day window.

The session will share their journey, focusing on the emotional highs and lows that came with such a monumental challenge. From the initial overwhelming scope to the satisfaction of system-wide automation, you will learn how they managed not just technology but also the human emotions involved in transforming pressure into productivity.
