Who said that Government Tech has to be boring? In Norway the largest administration has been using Kubernetes for over 7 years! StatefulSets had just been introduced (alpha) and RBAC was still in beta. During this time we moved from quarterly releases to thousands of continuous releases each week across our fleet of cloud native applications!

Could we replicate the success we had at NAV for other agencies? Could we provide them with a fully managed platform as a service to let them focus on building new and innovative services for their users and not reinventing the wheel by building yet another platform?

In this session Audun and Hans Kristian will share their experience building and operating one of the largest platforms of its kind in Norway providing a fully fledged application development platform for more than a 100 product teams. And how they set an ambitious goal of being able to provide their platform as a service to other agencies.
