LAS VEGAS, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Next '26 -- AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE:AZO), a leading retailer and distributor of automotive aftermarket parts and accessories in the Americas, and Google Cloud today announced a strategic expansion of their partnership. AutoZone recently completed a full-stack migration to Google Cloud—exiting legacy data centers in under three years.

AutoZone transitioned most of its applications to Google Cloud and looks to enhance performance, observability, and long-term flexibility.

"Completing our cloud migration is a significant milestone, and our partnership with Google has been instrumental to this success. But it's not the finish line," said Michelle Borninkhof, senior vice president and chief information officer, AutoZone.

In addition, we are in the early stages of using Gemini Enterprise to automate high volume tasks and improve productivity."

"AutoZone has moved beyond modernizing infrastructure. By transitioning to an agentic architecture, AutoZone is able to make the most of its data and empower AutoZoners to improve the experience for customers and employees alike," said Jose Gomes, vice president, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, Google Cloud.
