Applying 'Container' and 'Kubernetes' technologies
Btv Reduces Costs by 50% and Increases Productivity by 30% After Replacing TACO
“ Will support 'flexible and rapid' operations in cloud environments ”


SK Telecom announced on the 4th that it is launching 'TACO', a B2B-exclusive platform designed to help corporate customers utilize the cloud seamlessly.

TACO (SKT Autonomous Cloud Orchestrator) is a cloud management platform developed in-house by SKT that possesses excellent scalability and flexibility by applying container technology and Kubernetes technology.

Containers are a technology that enables the efficient delivery of software to any desired location within a cloud server. By using Kubernetes technology, you can operate services resiliently without interrupting the system during maintenance or updates, and self-healing is also possible.

Enterprise customers can use TACO to easily install, manage, and operate their applications in a cloud environment, and by linking public cloud integrated management functions, they can combine and operate public cloud services from multiple vendors or easily ensure compatibility with private clouds.

SKT recently applied the TACO platform to SK Broadband's Btv service and successfully commercialized it, proving its excellent performance.

SK Broadband replaced its existing foreign Platform as a Service (PaaS) with TACO and applied it to personalized services, purchasing and payment services, and web UI. Since the commercialization of TACO, Btv's total system cost of ownership has been reduced by more than 50%, and development and operational productivity has improved by over 30%.

Choi Pan-cheol, Head of Corporate Business at SK Telecom, stated, “For companies, the cloud is no longer a choice but an essential element for survival,” adding, “SKT plans to support companies in operating their businesses more flexibly and quickly in a cloud environment based on TACO in the rapidly changing era of digital transformation.”
