Whitepaper Summary

Building an enterprise Kubernetes platform is a journey, not a project. This guide explains what it really takes for organizations to design, assemble, and operate their own open-source platform rather than adopting a pre-built solution.

It walks through each stage of the process - from defining business needs and early experimentation to tool selection, architecture design, deployment, and ongoing operations. Teams navigate the CNCF ecosystem, integrating infrastructure, networking, authentication, storage, and observability tools while balancing flexibility with complexity.

Success depends on discipline and collaboration across engineering, operations, and governance. Each phase introduces new challenges in automation, policy control, and maintenance. The result is a platform precisely aligned to the organization’s goals but demanding continued investment and expertise to sustain.
