Platform Engineers Oslo

Join CNCF Ambassador and Humanitec Platform Architect, Mathieu Benoit, for a hands-on platform engineering workshop. Learn how to build golden paths for developers, automate and standardize infrastructure, utilizing best-in-breed platform tools and tech like Backstage, Score, Humanitec Platform Orchestrator, Kubernetes and Terraform.

We will work through:

• How to utilize Backstage as a portal, Score (CNCF Sandbox) as workload spec, Terraform for IaC, and Humanitec Platform Orchestrator as the graph-based backend of your platform

Platform engineering is far more than a technical topic. More than you might think, the real challenges and questions of platform engineering are on the topic of business value, and managing IT.

This event will examine how to approach platform engineering through an ROI perspective, and how to approach platforms to ensure that they succeed, alongside discussing whether platforms topic primarily for managers, or for engineers.

In this webinar, Krzysztof will examine:

• Platform Engineering explained for managers: how is it different than DevOps, and what is the essence of the concept?
• Why platforms are a topic primarily for management - and how to approach it from an organizational perspective?
• How platform engineering done well can positively affect your KPIs as IT Manager / Director

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
