The transition from KOPS to EKS clusters really stands out here. Handling 61 million concurent users during the Cricket World Cup is no small feat. The Datacenter Abstraction model sounds like a smart way to reduce operational complexity. One thing that caught my attenton was how they optimized NAT gateways per subnet instead of per AZ. That kind of granular control can make a huge diffrence at scale.
As someone who leads engineering teams inside JioHotstar, I must say you’ve captured it pretty accurately.
It was well done for sure
