Interested in learning how Skyscanner are able to roll out multiple changes across 10s of Kubernetes clusters a day?

If anyone asks “Why Remembrance?”
I walk across this esplanade as Governor of @edinburghcastle & think of the men who were photographed here at start of WW1 & later picture of survivors at the end.
