Story
Financials work at Unit spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Cloud landing zones was splitting across regional habits. Infrastructure and application teams asked for a shared way to run platform operations without freezing local judgment.
AWS (AWS Lambda) is what they standardized on. Amazon Web Services is the leading public cloud for compute, storage, data, and AI services, used to run production systems at global scale. Unit uses it as the system of record for cloud landing zones, with infrastructure and application teams 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
