The cloud-native community has seen recent tremendous growth and interest in Platforms, enough to form the Platforms Working Group which published its first whitepaper at KubeCon Amsterdam. Similarly, Cartografos and the Cloud Native Maturity Model is approaching its third major release. However, many organizations are still trying to find ways to get started.

Implementing Platform-centric tools in and of itself is a strong getting-started strategy for an organization potentially frozen by planning. Organizations and their teams can safely venture into discovery and implementation by combining the Cloud Native Maturity Model and Platforms Whitepaper concepts to identify and attack needs piece by piece.

This talk will evaluate a practical path taken to drive an organization’s cloud native and platform maturity forward simultaneously, by mapping key concepts and projects, and leveraging progressive enhancement.

With this knowledge, safe implementation starts now, not tomorrow.
