GEICO, a leading insurance firm owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, is repatriating its workloads from the cloud and embarking on an ambitious infrastructure overhaul. The move aims to reduce costs, improve availability, and enhance data accessibility. According to Rebecca Weekly, GEICO's VP of platform and infrastructure engineering, the company will focus on building with open-source toolkits and using Kubernetes to provision compute. This shift is driven by compliance requirements, data retention needs, and a desire to optimize costs.
