When Fidelity International's public cloud journey began to slow it became clear that our barrier to cloud was too high and with lower cognitive load platforms readily available on premises (CloudFoundry) why would anyone move? This sparked the realisation that we needed to build a public cloud container hosting platform that could provide that experience our developers had become used to for so many years, what was born was known as the "Kubernetes Hotel". Abstracting much of the K8s infrastructure complexity from our internal developers it allowed them to focus on the business logic and leaving the platform team to do the heavy engineering. In this talk we'll explore the high's and low's of the K8s hotel business, how our MVP was more of a motel and what we believe a 5* K8s hotel might look like as we progress further on our journey.
