• Adobe faced challenges with infrastructure provisioning and lacked visibility, observability, and auditability into infrastructure resources provisioned by individual teams
• Adobe leveraged Argo and Crossplane to build a scalable GitOps-based application deployment solution and broker the provisioning of cloud resources consistently and across all teams
• Adobe and Amazon designed a layered isolation mechanism for tenant teams on top of existing shared Kubernetes clusters via a mix of technologies such as OPA Gatekeeper, ServiceAccount boundaries, IAM roles, etc.
• The solution solved the non-negotiable requirements of security and multi-tenancy, which are hard to achieve natively with Crossplane and Argo
• The new solution improved the developer experience and reduced the mean time to resolution when encountering issues or outages
