Platform Engineering Best Practices: Strategies for Developer Autonomy

Developers and other cloud users need on-demand access to infrastructure resources to build, test, and deploy applications rapidly. However, navigating complex IT processes to request and configure things like containers, clusters, namespaces, landing zones, AI workbenches, and other cloud environments can hinder productivity with delays, frustration, and cognitive overload.

How do teams overcome this? With developer autonomy through self-service workflows to provision cloud infrastructure. This makes clouds easier to consume, while enabling innovation and responsiveness. Read on to see:

• How self-service relates to autonomy
• How to provide autonomy to developers and other cloud infrastructure users
• Case studies demonstrating how others have delivered autonomy through control and efficiency
