Leadership galaxy Case 5 of 7

Designing the Olympic infrastructure, planned from 2019

The problem

Two global events, the Rugby World Cup 2023 and the Paris 2024 Olympics, on an infrastructure that must not fail.

The constraint

It was our first production run of container orchestration.

What I did

01

Starting very early

In 2019, I launch the build: we move ahead well before the events.

02

Designing the architecture

I draw the infrastructure for these two events, and I make the technical choices.

03

A first production run

We put container orchestration into production for the first time, after long preparation.

04

Two events delivered

The Rugby World Cup 2023, then the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The result

An infrastructure designed well in advance, for two global events.
