Playtech is the gambling industry’s leading technology company delivering business intelligence-driven gambling software, services, content and platform technology across the industry’s most popular product verticals. Based in the EU, Playtech’s applications must adhere to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), as well as local data protection and privacy regulations.
Soon after migrating to EKS and implementing security policies, Playtech’s DevOps team faced four major challenges:
- Lack of visibility into existing security policies
- Lack of traffic flow visibility
- Inability to preview and test new policies before policy deployment
- Lack of troubleshooting/debugging tools for containers and Kubernetes
Using Calico, Playtech’s DevOps team was able to solve all four challenges and also:
- Integrate policy as code
- Automate infrastructure
- Remain EU GDPR-compliant
