Even if such platforms are not always called internal Kubernetes platforms, solutions that allow engineers to get a standardized and easy Kubernetes access in a cloud environment seem to become more common now. In this article, I will describe what drives companies to build and adopt such platforms.

Spotify, for example, developed a comprehensive tutorial and documentation that enabled new developers to get started with the internal platform and thus Kubernetes easily and from Day 1.

An internal Kubernetes platform that also covers some dev tooling helps to standardize Kubernetes workflows and so enables even engineers without Kubernetes experience to work with it.

Once the decision for an internal Kubernetes platform has been made, the focus should be on the developer experience to ensure real adoption and engagement because only then it is possible to realize the full benefits of such a platform.
