Rarely do we get such great detailed insight into how large organizations adopt new technologies. This week I’m extremely lucky to have two members of Deutsche Telekom join me to discuss how they are building their Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform…or “Das Schiff” which means “Ship” using open networking.
Joining me is Vuk Gojnic, squad leader for the Kubernetes Engine at DT along with Marcel Fest, Site Reliability Engineer. They discuss the methodology, adoption curve and how open networking allows for flexibility and scale across a vast set of infrastructures within DT.
It’s another example of how open source software and hardware can accelerate the digital shift within an organzation. Vuk and Marcel are excellent storytellers and I hope you enjoy this week’s episode!
