Platform Team Lead, Telenor
Delivery details
Telenor’s platform teams were managing a complex estate spanning Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenStack on bare metal HP ProLiant infrastructure, with Huawei Dorado storage, Istio service mesh, and HA Proxy in the mix. Application onboarding was slow, GitOps practices were inconsistent, and knowledge gaps made day-2 operations harder than they needed to be. Stakater embedded engineers directly into Telenor’s teams, establishing GitOps-driven CI/CD, strengthening observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and AlertManager, and providing hands-on guidance that lifted the capability of the whole platform organisation.
