From Compliance to Innovation: How Charité Uses Kubermatic to Transform IT
At CDS25, Harald Wagener, Group Leader for Cloud and IT Infrastructure at the Berlin Institute for Health Research at Charité, shares how the hospital leverages the Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform (KKP) to automate multi-cluster operations, strengthen compliance, and accelerate innovation across one of Europe’s largest university hospitals.
With Kubernetes automation, Charité streamlines daily operations, reduces manual workload for platform teams, and ensures consistent governance across all environments from development to production. KKP helps standardize cluster lifecycle management, enforce policy at scale, and enable developers to focus on innovation.
Key takeaways:
- How automation reduces operational overhead in complex environments
- Why KKP simplifies multi-cluster management and governance
- Staying compliant with strict healthcare regulations while moving faster
- The role of open-source collaboration in digital transformation
