Platform Team and Enablement
Last updated on
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”The platform team provides a paved path for teams building and operating workloads on STACKIT. It treats the landing zone, automation, guardrails, and developer experience as a product with named users, an owned backlog, and measurable outcomes.
Platform team responsibilities
Section titled “Platform team responsibilities”- Maintain shared STACKIT account, identity, network, security, and cost-management foundations.
- Provide reusable Infrastructure as Code modules, reference architectures, and approved service patterns.
- Offer self-service onboarding paths with appropriate policy guardrails and audit evidence.
- Publish platform documentation, service status information, support routes, and change notices.
- Prioritize platform improvements from workload-team feedback, incident learning, security findings, and adoption data.
Enable workload teams
Section titled “Enable workload teams”Enablement combines the technical path with the operational path. Teams need documented access patterns, onboarding criteria, deployment guidance, observability standards, and a way to request new capabilities. Communities of practice, office hours, and working examples help turn platform standards into everyday delivery practice.
The platform team should avoid becoming a manual provisioning gate. Where controls are stable, embed them in templates, policy checks, and automated workflows so teams can move independently within approved boundaries.
