Our first meetup in 2019!
This is a first part of several presentations by Verizon and AWS experts on Kubernetes adoption in Enterprise.

"We will be sharing the Verizon journey on adopting Kubernetes, and the challenges we had to solve for that are unique to large organizations. We will also be sharing the challenges we ran into adopting and enabling the platform at scale. Our discussion will revolve around:
Capabilities – Solving for the Kubernetes platform services like single sign-on, RBAC for the enterprise
Migration – Retrofitting existing apps to run in Kubernetes
Compliance – Meeting compliance requirements around software and hardware inventory, separation of duty concerns
Security – Implementing an enterprise grade security solution through all facets of software development life cycle
Value Proposition – Rallying everyone (Developers, Security Engineers, Operations Engineers & Management) in the organization to support this initiative and getting past resistance
Our aspiration is to build a community for enterprises by enterprises that focuses on solving for requirements / challenges that are unique to the enterprise organization. We want to share our best practices and lessons learned through our own experience. "
