In this Partner POV episode, sponsored by Rafay Systems, host Katie Bavoso speaks with Mohan Atreya, Chief Product Officer at Rafay Systems, to explore how platform teams can simplify hybrid and multicloud environments, accelerate Kubernetes operations, and support AI and GPU-intensive workloads while maintaining governance and cost efficiency.
Mohan will discuss how Rafay works with AWS, why native cloud tools are inadequate in complex environments, and how companies can go from months of setup time to production in hours. The conversation also dives into real-world use cases across biotech, finance, and global enterprises to learn how Rafay enables self-service, standardization, and faster innovation at scale.
Whether you’re running AWS EKS, managing on-premises infrastructure, or preparing for AI-driven workloads, this interview provides a deep dive into what modern platform engineering looks like today.
