Speaking at Google Cloud Next ’19 on April 10th

27th March 2019 /

I’m honoured and very excited to have been asked to speak at the Google Next 2019 conference in San Francisco on April 10th. Where I’ll be jointly presenting a breakout session with Google and Harmonic on “Building a Next-Generation Streaming Platform with Sky” for live Sky Sports events.

The conference programme is available here and here’s the session of topics below.

  • Learn how Sky, Europe’s largest pay-TV broadcaster, pioneered a next-generation scalable, on-demand platform for processing and serving live television. Previously, processing and serving live TV required large up-front capital outlays, with a need to provision for peak demand. With Sky’s Software Defined Streaming platform, built in conjunction with Harmonic and delivered on the Google Cloud Platform, Sky is able to spin up all the infrastructure and services required for channels on demand, before a live sporting event, and spin them down when not required. In this session, we will walk through the end-to-end architecture, from the top of the application stack down to the GCP infrastructure that supports this use case. We will also discuss the cultural and operational challenges to overcome, in order to enable a move from the traditional on-premises world of broadcast engineering to the agile world of cloud.
