Abstracting Kubernetes: How Intuit is Migrating Services to a Simplified, Abstracted Paved Road
Shail Shah, Avni Sharma

Are you grappling with the complexities of managing K8s for your application developers? Join us for an insightful session where we share how Intuit has evolved and abstracted its platform and the journey toward migrating 1k+ services to the abstracted paved road.

At Intuit, developers spent more time on infrastructure configuration than coding, and adding to standardization drift. To address this, we developed an AI-native abstracted platform where developers define just the app intent, while platform teams handle infrastructure configuration. This reduces the burden of managing K8s complexity, restores standardization, and eliminates cognitive load for developers, thereby increasing dev velocity.

In this session we will cover the challenges of direct Kubernetes management; our journey to developing an abstraction layer, migrating services, real-world benefits, and lessons learned of an abstracted platform.
