Discover's Hybrid Cloud Journey Pays Off
CIO, Friday, December 13th, 2024
The financial services company has taken a containerized approach to achieve agility and flexibility with its workloads, while exploring the long-term benefits of generative AI.
Discover Financial Services has moved aggressively to the cloud in 2024 with a migration strategy focused on retaining hybrid flexibility and making the most of cloud elasticity.
EVP and CIO Jason Strle, who joined Discover 18 months ago after CIO and CTO roles at Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase & Co., has opted to migrate mission-critical workloads using Red Hat OpenShift on AWS. Moving these containerized workloads to AWS offers Discover greater flexibility and agility to handle the spikes and dips of seasonal consumer spending far more efficiently, he says.
