· Under the bonnet at Auto Trader (Dave Whyte, Auto Trader)
Auto Trader have been on a journey, fully embracing the Public Cloud, migrating their applications onto Kubernetes in GCP and utilising Istio Service Mesh. They are on target to migrate everything, decommissioning all legacy application and then turning off the on-prem datacentres by the end of the year.
With the new platform, there is greater security, visibility and business agility.
