What has the Platform Team ever done for us?

Continuous Integration?

What? Oh yeah, yeah, they did give us that. That's true, yeah.

Maintain a test framework?

Oh yeah, testing, remember what the code used to be like?

Yeah, alright, I'll grant you CI and testing are two things the Platform Team has done!

And Kubernetes!

Yeah, well, obviously Kubernetes, I mean Kubernetes goes without saying, doesn't it?

But apart from Continuous Integration, testing, and Kubernetes -

'Automated Infrastructure Provisioning'?

Networking? GitOps?

Yeah, yeah, alright, fair enough -

Dealing with Security and Audit?

Yeah, that's something we'd really miss if the Platform Team weren't there!

Shared tooling? And we can track who changed what and when now, Reg!

Yeah, they certainly know how to keep track of things! Let's face it, they're the only ones that could in a place like this! Haha!

Alright, but apart from Continuous Integration, maintaining a test framework, Kubernetes, automated infrastructure provisioning, dealing with sec and audit, , networking, GitOps, maintaining shared tools, and change control...

What have the platform team ever done for us?

Improved efficiency?

Ugh, efficiency. Shut up!
