CloudNativeCon North America -- The Cloud Native
Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems
for cloud native software, today announced that American Express
has joined the Foundation as a Gold Member.
American Express is a globally integrated payments company that
provides customers with access to products, insights, and
experiences that enrich lives and build business success. Over the
past several years, the company has increasingly invested in cloud
native development principles and practices, leveraging a number of
CNCF projects, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy.
"We are committed to cloud native application development and to
using cloud native as a standard," said Evan Kotsovinos, SVP and
head of global infrastructure at American Express. "Joining CNCF
was a natural extension of that commitment. Cloud native
technologies help deliver the always-on experience that customers
expect and deserve, and we share CNCF's goal to make cloud
technology more accessible and more reliable."
After modernizing its underlying infrastructure, American
Express underwent an extensive application and platform
transformation leveraging cloud native technology. The organization
now runs a large-scale container-based cloud platform that has
greatly improved application resiliency and boosted developer
productivity and agility. Thanks to its fully automated CI/CD
pipeline, American Express has improved quality, security, and
deployment velocity across the board.
"American Express is driving innovation within its own
organization and is also a strong supporter of cloud native
standards in the industry," said Priyanka
Sharma, general manager of the Cloud Native Computing
Foundation. "With the unique requirements of the fintech industry
and the importance of uptime, speed, and security for customers, we
look forward to the valuable insights and resources American
Express will bring to the cloud native ecosystem."
