Its participation brings the operating perspective of a global fintech platform to the open, vendor-neutral community shaping the technologies on which modern finance depends.

“End users are the operational backbone of the cloud native ecosystem, and Adyen represents the pinnacle of high-scale, zero-downtime engineering,” said Jonathan Bryce, executive director, CNCF. “Operating over 100 Kubernetes clusters at a global scale gives Adyen unique technical insights. We are thrilled to welcome them as a Platinum End User and look forward to their leadership on our Governing and Technical Advisory Boards.”

Adyen’s membership provides the cloud native community with a direct feedback loop from an environment where platform availability, performance, and security carry immediate financial weight.

Beyond leveraging Kubernetes, Cilium, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry across its global infrastructure, Adyen actively contributes solutions designed for regulated engineering teams. This includes open sourcing kubectl-rexec, a tool that adds strict auditability to Kubernetes container-access workflows while preserving native developer velocity.

“Investing in the CNCF helps us to maintain full control of our technology,” said Pedro Oliveira, VP of Infrastructure. “When you operate at our scale, vendor lock-in isn’t an option, and having a seat at the table matters. Bringing our real-world experience to the community lets us help shape the tools we rely on every day, making them more reliable for us and for the broader ecosystem.”

As a Platinum End User Member, Adyen will hold a seat on the CNCF Governing Board, which provides business, marketing, and budget oversight for the foundation. The company will also appoint a representative to the End User Technical Advisory Board, which brings end-user needs and perspectives to CNCF community discussions.

The recognition reflects Tiger Analytics’ demonstrated technical expertise, customer success, and continued investment in its AWS partnership, strengthening its ability to deliver enterprise-scale cloud, data, and AI solutions.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tiger Analytics, a global leader in AI and analytics, today announced that it has achieved AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN).

Achieving AWS Premier Tier Services Partner status differentiates Tiger Analytics as an AWS Partner who demonstrated expertise and notable success in helping customers design, architect, build, migrate, and manage their workloads on AWS.

“Achieving AWS Premier Tier marks an important inflection point in Tiger Analytics’ relationship with AWS,” said Puneet Piplani, Head of Strategic Growth and Alliances. “It recognizes the expertise and customer impact we have built together, while creating an even stronger foundation for what comes next. Our ambition is to combine Tiger Analytics’ deep data and AI capabilities with the scale and innovation of AWS to help enterprises move faster from AI ambition to measurable business outcomes. Premier Tier is an important milestone, and we believe the biggest opportunities in our partnership are still ahead of us.”

To earn Premier Tier, companies must complete a rigorous approval process through accreditations and certifications, must demonstrate a long-term investment in their relationship with AWS, and must have extensive expertise in deploying customer solutions on AWS. AWS Premier Tier Services Partners also have a strong team of AWS Trained & Certified technical consultants and have deep expertise in project management and professional services.

The impact of this collaboration is reflected in customer engagements such as Cross River Bank, where Tiger Analytics worked with AWS to establish a governed foundation for developing and deploying agentic AI across banking functions.

“Together with Tiger Analytics and AWS, we’ve built a foundation that allows us to rapidly develop and deploy agentic AI across banking functions,” said Pravesh Rijal, Chief Data and AI Officer at Cross River Bank.

Using Argo CD and Kargo, Meta is building a GitOps platform to streamline application delivery across 100 Kubernetes clusters supporting AI research and inference

Key Highlights

Meta’s Cloud Foundation team won the CNCF End User Case Study Contest for its GitOps platform, built with Argo CD and Kargo to streamline Kubernetes application delivery.The new platform cuts routine application deployment times from more than four hours to minutes, streamlining the small team’s workflow through a simplified application definition while adding more advanced features such as automated deployment configuration, independent release promotion, and health verification.By separating application delivery from infrastructure provisioning, Meta is enabling independent application rollouts while retaining Terraform for infrastructure management.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 — The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, announced Meta as the winner of the CNCF End User Case Study Contest for its adoption of cloud native technologies to accelerate application delivery across its AI infrastructure. Through a GitOps platform built on Argo CD and Kargo, Meta’s Cloud Foundation team is transforming how applications are deployed and managed across approximately 100 Kubernetes clusters supporting AI research and inference, reducing routine deployment times from more than four hours to minutes.

“AI infrastructure is causing organizations to rethink how they manage applications across distributed environments,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO, CNCF. “Meta’s approach demonstrates how open source technologies like Argo can help teams automate their application delivery, reduce operational complexity and scale infrastructure without adding unnecessary overhead. It’s a powerful example of how cloud native technologies are supporting the operational demands of AI at scale.”

Meta’s Cloud Foundation team, composed of more than 15 engineers, supports approximately 100 Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers and accelerator families. Previously, Terraform was used for both infrastructure provisioning and Kubernetes application deployment, tying even routine application updates to a lengthy infrastructure release process. The shared deployment model meant stalled rollouts could delay unrelated releases and lacked automated health checks to verify application status.

To address these challenges, Meta began building a GitOps platform that separates application delivery from infrastructure provisioning. Terraform continues to manage infrastructure, while Argo CD reconciles application deployments against configurations stored in Git. Kargo orchestrates release promotion across environments, enabling independent rollouts, automated health checks and versioned release records that improve deployment traceability and recovery.

“GitOps and Argo CD give our small team a great foundation, shaped by years of community experience in Kubernetes delivery,” said Phong Nguyen, Production Engineer, Meta. “We focus on connecting it to Meta’s systems and aim to share our own lessons along the way.”

Meta also simplified application delivery by allowing developers to specify deployment requirements through a short application definition. The platform automatically generates Argo CD and Kargo configurations, enabling independent release promotion, automated health verification and deployment consistency without requiring application teams to manage complex configurations.

Meta plans to expand adoption of its GitOps platform and transition to a centrally managed Argo CD service to reduce maintenance overhead across its Kubernetes fleet. The team is also exploring upstream contributions to improve container registry authentication and Argo CD performance in large clusters.
