Over the past decade, DevOps has evolved from being a cultural phenomenon where developers and operations teams attempted to break through silos together to instead becoming a formalized operation with the emergence of platform engineering as middleware. Platform engineering enables a better understanding of Kubernetes at a holistic level, enhancing efficiency and speed for development. In this session, Venkat Ramakrishnan, VP of product and engineering at Portworx, discusses the shift to platform engineering and its significant impact on DataOps and DevOps for application delivery services and tools. 

Top 3 Takeaways:

• How platform engineering has reduced strain on developers, narrowed the skills gap and driven innovation while maintaining a competitive edge
• How platform engineering can replace IT as it is anchored in cloud-native technology and databases that leverage Kubernetes to manage storage resources, backup, disaster recovery and databases 
• How platform engineering can make Kubernetes a self-service tool for enhancing efficiency and speed of development for hundreds and thousands of users
