Description
We are the KaaS team (Kubernetes as a Service), the backbone of all Kubernetes-based platforms at Bloomberg. Our platform delivers a seamless and robust cloud-native experience to our internal application teams on-prem, comparable to leading Kubernetes platforms like AWS EKS and GCP GKE. At the heart of KaaS is a collection of custom-built Kubernetes controllers to simplify and automate the management of Kubernetes environments. These controllers provide tenants with powerful tools to build, deploy, and manage their platforms within KaaS, enabling them to focus on their applications while we handle the infrastructure complexities. Our mission is to empower Bloomberg’s development teams with a reliable, scalable, and feature-rich Kubernetes ecosystem, driving innovation and efficiency across the organization.
