Bridget Lane and Marcelo Mandolesi share the USA TODAY NETWORK’s two-year journey learning, migrating to, and running Kubernetes. USA TODAY NETWORK considered the biggest benefits of Kubernetes to be line-item cost, deployment time, resiliency, and developer ease of configuration and deployment. However, there were a number of hidden costs associated with the migration, including downtime, cost of concurrency during migration, risk mitigation, cloud limitations, and the engineering time it took to knowledge transfer everything. Join Bridget and Marcelo to learn the costs encountered, how to prepare for them, and why it was worth it.
