Case Study: The New York Times boosts deployment speed with Cloud Native Computing Foundation solutions

The New York Times From print to the web to cloud native

The New York Times faced the challenge of modernizing its infrastructure and moving away from treating the public cloud like a traditional data center. Their initial VM-based deployments were slow and hindered developer velocity. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation's project, Kubernetes, was selected as a key solution to address this.

By adopting Kubernetes on the Google Cloud Platform through GKE, the vendor's solution provided a unified deployment platform. This resulted in a dramatic increase in speed, with deployment times dropping from 45 minutes to just seconds. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation's technologies gave The New York Times portability and allowed engineering teams to deploy updates independently and daily, significantly accelerating their pace of delivery.
