Kubernetes is a key component of our strategy in this area., BT Group was the world's first telco and our heritage in the sector is unrivalled. As home to several of the UK's most recognised and cherished brands - BT, EE, Openreach and Plusnet, we have always played a critical role in creating the future, and we have reached an inflection point in the transformation of our business.

Together with our heavy investment in 5G, we play a central role in revolutionising how people connect with each other.
