Episode 197: How Kubernetes, Open Source Underpin Condé Nast Operations
Description
Condé Nast is one of the most well-recognized media brands in the world, with a range of stand-out titles that include “Wired,” “The New Yorker” and “Vanity Fair.” The publishing giant also represents a case study of how a large multinational company was able to shift its entire international web and data operations to a homogeneous Kubernetes infrastructure it built and now manages with open source tools.
During the past five years, Condé Nast has built a single underlying platform consisting of several dozen websites spread out around the world, including Russia, China, the U.S. and Europe. Its web presence now hosts more than 300 million unique users per month and 570 article views every second.
In this episode of The New Stack Analysts podcast, Jennifer Strejevitch, site reliability engineer for Condé Nast, speaks about her experiences and observations at the front lines of the publishing company’s infrastructure-related challenges and successes. This show was hosted by Alex Williams, founder and editor-in-chief of The New Stack, and Ken Owens, vice president, cloud native engineering, Mastercard, our guest.
