A five-year journey from siloed teams and shared responsibilities to a DevOps-driven culture empowered by OpenShift. This talk shares the challenges and lessons from a team that took initiative in adopting DevOps practices and applying OpenShift in ways that best fit their needs at the time. Our focus was on discovering how to effectively work with OpenShift as consumers, exploring cloud-native development practices and shaping our own delivery workflows. Throughout this journey, we collaborated closely with the Cloud Platform Enabling Team to align with platform capabilities and ensure smooth integration.
