London Cloud Leaders #8 - Are We Getting the Most from Kubernetes

Presented by Prism Digital & Footprint IT Solutions

Join us for the next edition of London Cloud Leaders, an exclusive roundtable for senior Cloud and DevOps leaders navigating the complexity of modern platform operations.

This time we’re hosting at our office in collaboration with Footprint IT Solutions, focusing on Kubernetes. This exclusive roundtable tackles a critical question for all cloud leaders: are organisations truly maximising their Kubernetes investment? We'll dive into the core pillars of successful Kubernetes adoption: how to ensure robust security without hindering agility, strategies for significant cost optimisation in dynamic environments, and methods to elevate the developer experience to drive faster innovation. Expect sharp insights and practical discussions on building and running Kubernetes platforms that deliver tangible business value.  

This session will be led by Andrew Hemming, a seasoned cloud engineering leader and the Founder of Footprint IT Solutions. With over two decades of experience in technology-fuelled cloud transformation, Andrew possesses deep expertise in platform architecture, Kubernetes operations, and scaling DevSecOps practices in high-compliance environments. He specialises in building secure, scalable, and cost-optimised cloud foundations that drive innovation. Expect sharp insights and a real-world lens on how to build and run Kubernetes platforms that don’t collapse under their own weight.
