The Global Cloud Team is part of HEINEKEN's Digital Infrastructure Portfolio, which offers Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud platforms to other departments across the organization. Multiple HEINEKEN teams make use of these cloud platforms in a DevOps way of working. This means they build and run their own environment in the cloud. The role of the Global Cloud Team is not only to provide stable, secure cloud services, but also best practices and guidance, so the teams using cloud can fulfil their responsibility for architecture, security, compliance, service and cost management.
