Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room 2

Over the past five years, Datadog expanded from operating in a single region to six regions across three cloud providers. Kubernetes facilitated this expansion by abstracting the differences between cloud environments. However, we encountered several interesting challenges as some implementation details leaked through the abstraction.

This talk will begin with our rationale for adopting a multi-cloud strategy and the constraints it introduced. We will then share our insights on leveraging Kubernetes, the disparities among cloud provider implementations, and how these inconsistencies sometimes breached the Kubernetes abstraction. Finally, we will discuss how our platform teams created additional abstractions hiding most of these differences and the few remaining details that we have to expose to teams deploying on our platform.
