+## Background
+
+- Scale: 100s of clusters
+- Cloud: Azure, AWS, GCP
+- The baseline: Single AWS Region and applications on vms
+- Goal: Operate on different locations
+- History: They added more and more regions - 6 Providers in 6 Regions across 29 locations
+- Problem: Different tooling across different cloud providers
+- Idea: Kubernetes abstracts the specific cloud provider infra
+
+## The way
+
+- Idea: Use managed kubernetes
+- Problem: In 2018 the managed offerings were in beta or very limited
+- Challenge: Opinionated cloud specific stuff
+
+### Iterations
+
+1. Clusters based on vms created by terraform and other automation tools -> They realized that they need multiple clusters per region
+2. Their own application delivery platform that deployed to the right clusters across regions for better DevEx
+3. k8s on k8s (hosted cp) -> Current setup with a terraform managed parent cluster
+4. Idea: Host the Partent-Cluster on managed kubernetes -> They need to abstract some things away
+5. Solution: Use their good old aplication delivery platform
+
+### Abstractions
+
+- Use custom CRDs to abstract the same behaviour across providers

 The second day of kubecon was my main "meeting day" this year - aka there were a bunch of scheduled meetings with manufacturers, partners, potential partners or just to get to know someone/a project.
-What does this mean for you? Another day with only a few sessions - the meeting notes are not available online.
