Level 1 | Pegasus A-B1

8 year ago, we started to release Playstation products powered on top of Kubernetes. At the time, it was focused on accelerating our time to market. Little did we know that it would also provide the rallying flag for bringing together multiple parts of the organization to work in a consistent manner. With common features available to all application teams, they could focus on improving the game and game developer experience, instead of re-inventing toiling wheels.

As we look to the future, we're once again able to use the Kubernetes ecosystem as a rallying point. It's enabling us to expand our availability and capabilities into new hosting environments. We're moving up the value chain by replacing once novel but now bespoke components with modern and now commodity logic.

In this talk, we'll summarize our experience bringing a common platform to Sony Interactive Entertainment, what the future holds, and how the past, present and future help Playstation to continue to provide a gaming world where Play has no Limit.
