Story
Information Technology work at SUSE spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. Application traffic was splitting across regional habits. Network and app owners asked for a shared way to run application delivery without freezing local judgment.
Akamai (App and API Protector) is what they standardized on. Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation. SUSE uses it as the system of record for application traffic, with network and app owners as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
