Case Study: Nordstrom achieves faster deployments and higher efficiency with CNCF Kubernetes

Nordstrom Finding millions in potential savings in a tough retail climate

Nordstrom wanted to increase the efficiency and speed of its technology operations, which support its e-commerce site, while also tightening operational costs. They partnered with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ecosystem to adopt a cloud native approach, specifically using Kubernetes for container orchestration.

By implementing Kubernetes, provided by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Nordstrom dramatically improved deployment speeds and operational efficiency. The results included increasing CPU utilization to 40%, a 10x improvement, and running over 2,600 customer pods on just 40 virtual machines, leading to millions in potential savings.
