Kaspar von Grünberg provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a delivery platform in his video "A step by step guide to platforming your delivery setup." He begins by identifying the problem you're trying to solve, and then goes over some tips on how to set a strategic plan for success. He then provides a step-by-step guide on how to approach platforming, including tips on how to identify the problem you're trying to solve and how to set a strategic plan for achieving success.

• 00:00:00 In this video, Kaspar von Grünberg discusses the importance of platform engineering, and goes over some of the common challenges and pitfalls that people face when attempting to do this. He then provides a step-by-step guide on how to approach platforming, including tips on how to identify the problem you're trying to solve, and how to set a strategic plan for achieving success.
• 00:05:00 In his book, "Cloud Native Delivery," Kaspar von Grünberg discusses the need for platform engineering in order to solve the chaos and complexity of modern, distributed applications. He offers a step-by-step guide to setting up a delivery platform, based on the example of Netflix, which is successful in reducing cognitive load and repetitive tasks for developers and SRE teams while still allowing for creativity and flexibility.
• 00:10:00 Google has a platform mindset and relies on a high level of abstraction to trust what happens behind the scenes. Internal developer platforms are created by taking the systems that are currently in place and crafting them into a path that is easier to navigate and manage. Such platforms can be used to orchestrate the workloads, resources, and technologies needed to deliver a product.
• 00:15:00 Platform engineering is important, and it is often a difficult task to achieve. Kaspar von Grünberg recommends starting small and taking baby steps to ensure success. He also recommends creating a product owner and software engineers, and prioritizing what needs to be done.
• 00:20:00 Kaspar von Grünberg provides a step-by-step guide for platform engineering, outlining the different perspectives and roles necessary for success. He recommends starting with listing the procedures required for a daily platform, then asking individual engineers and operators about their involvement. Finally, he suggests creating a list of required procedures and involving a team of engineers who are experienced with delivering platforms.
• 00:25:00 The author provides a step-by-step guide for identifying what platforming needs to be done in order to ensure optimal efficiency and productivity in an organization. He first provides an overview of how to measure how much time an individual action takes on a task, and then explains how to use this information to prioritize tasks. He also discusses how to identify the team of individuals who will be the future evangelists for the platform, and how to ensure that the team has a representative application that is aligned with the organization's future goals.
• 00:30:00 The video discusses how to platform a delivery setup, and suggests starting with small, incremental changes. The next step is to build something that is significantly better than what the team had before, and to build it in a way that is dynamic and adaptive.
• 00:35:00 The speaker provides a step-by-step guide for platform engineering, focusing on how to find the ROI for a delivery solution and then solving that specific problem for the customer. He encourages listeners to plan time in the roadmap for larger projects and to focus on only one task at a time. He also provides a link to a resource for more information.
• 00:40:00 The author provides a step-by-step guide on how to choose a delivery platform for a small startup. He recommends using a platform like Roku, which is scalable and efficient.
• 00:45:00 Kaspar von Grünberg discusses the benefits of platforming a delivery setup, including less architectural misdesign, parameterization, and code reuse. He also recommends using a platform as a service when possible.
• 00:50:00 This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to platform your delivery setup, with emphasis on using a cloud provider for convenience. Kaspar von Grünberg advises that, in order to get the best results, you should move to a cloud provider, but not fall into the trap of thinking you can just hand out Amazon accounts to users and assume they won't abuse them. He also recommends building a platform on top of a cloud provider in order to have better context and control over where your infrastructure runs.
• 00:55:00 Kaspar von Grünberg provides a step-by-step guide for platforming your delivery setup. He notes that one way to do this is to find the platform engineering Slack channel and post a link there. He also provides a replay of the upcoming webinar, and provides a few helpful links.
