--- title: "Cloudsmith x United Airlines" description: "Cloudsmith can bring new value to United Airlines, enabling your engineers to focus on producing value, rather than keeping the lights on." canonical_url: "https://cloudsmith.com/loves/united" last_updated: "2026-03-13T13:15:23Z" --- # Cloudsmith x United Airlines United Airlines + Cloudsmith ## Architecting resilience for United Next United Next is transforming aviation by moving 80% of workloads to AWS. We provide the cloud-native artifact management foundation to support that global scale [Book a demo](/book-a-demo) Why Cloudsmith? ## The missing piece of your AWS stack You are moving 80% of workloads to AWS. Cloudsmith aligns with this strategy by abstracting away the infrastructure of binary management, providing a truly cloud native approach to United's software supply chain management. ### Truly cloud-native architecture We remove the "leaky abstraction" of legacy repositories. There are no servers to provision or clusters to scale, it just works and includes multi-region redundancy by default. ### Safety-first supply chain With "Block Until Scan" and our Enteprise Policy Management system, you can enforce your "No Small Roles in Safety" mandate directly at the artifact level. ### Universal support for United Whether you are managing Python packages, ML models in HuggingFace, or Docker images for Agent on Demand, we serve as your universal source of truth with support for 30+ package formats. Switch to Cloudsmith ## A more resilient software supply chain for United Compare the operational overhead of self-hosted JFrog Artifactory with the efficiency of a managed, cloud-native service. | Your current solution | With Cloudsmith | | --- | --- | | Scaling and replication headaches when distributing artifacts to global engineering hubs | Fully managed, serverless SaaS that scales instantly with your demand. | | Manual remediation of vulnerabilities after they have already entered your pipelines. | Automated, proactive blocking of non-compliant artifacts in line with United's policy choices. | | Hidden costs in engineering hours spent on "keeping the lights on" for legacy instances. | Zero maintenance. We handle updates and scaling invisibly so your engineering teams across the globe can focus on shipping. | | Fragmentation between your Harness CI/CD pipelines and your artifact storage. | Native integration with Harness and AWS to provide a single, secure control point. | ## Solving the global latency bottleneck Your 3,000 engineers in Chicago and India shouldn't wait for "chatty" protocols to resolve dependencies over 8,000 miles. Our Package Delivery Network (PDN) handles authentication and caching at the edge, reducing build times for mission-critical apps. - 600 global points of presence for high-speed software distribution - Region-aware delivery with zero manual replication. - EPM policy as code for full security control in line with United policies [Learn more about software supply chain security](/product/software-supply-chain-security) ## Security that scales with United Next United’s mission requires resilience. Cloudsmith’s Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) lets you codify security gates using Open Policy Agent (OPA) in a Policy-as-Code format. Cloudsmith's Malicious Package Scanning capabilities make it straightforward to enforce consistent guardrails across a complex organization. This ensures every microservice deployment across the globe meets your rigorous compliance standards automatically. - "Block Until Scanned" for zero-trust ingestion - Automated SBOM generation for full visibility - Continuous vulnerability scanning against NVD and EPSS [Learn more about global software distribution ](/product/global-software-distribution) ## Continue United's Migration to a Cloud-Native Approach You have moved to Harness to democratize DevOps and cut deployment times from 22 minutes to 5 minutes. Cloudsmith provides the artifact management layer that matches this velocity, removing the maintenance overhead of legacy, server-based solutions. This frees up significant amounts of engineering resource, moving your teams away from simply keeping the lights on towards building the foundations of the next generation United. - Native integration with AWS EKS and Atlassian Cloud - Huge reductions in routine maintenance tasks for your engineering teams - Genuinely cloud-native SaaS with zero infrastructure to manage - Predictable pricing with no hidden egress surprises ## Customers love Cloudsmith [Read reviews](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudsmith/reviews) ## Let's talk Artifact Management Hi Team United, At Cloudsmith, we understand that in the airline industry, a "tech glitch" in a weight calculation system or a ground-stop isn't just a bug; it impacts millions of travelers. In fact, we already work with other significant global airlines, giving us a deep familiarity with what you do and the specific needs of the airline sector. Cloudsmith is built to provide the resilience and global speed your engineers need to keep those systems flying and focusing on the work they enjoy doing that drives value for United.
