The video discusses the challenges faced by the development team at the Coalition, a video game company, during the pandemic. The team found that, due to the limited bandwidth and storage available, they were often forced to duplicate or shuttle information between different parts of the company. Additionally, due to the time zones and other geographical differences, it was difficult for team members to communicate with each other. The pandemic also caused a number of problems with code and content updates, and with supporting remote workers. The video discusses the results of a study conducted in which the Coalition reduced the size of virtualized assets by 38 gigabytes, reduced the need for a VPN, and deprecated old tooling. In the next phase, the Coalition will roll out the technology to all employees.
