The Digital Customer Journey in Fintech and Beyond
Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to
digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries
and verticals. This is often especially true in financial services, where the
legacy environment is many times unable to keep up with the rapidly shifting
demands of the consumer. The constant pressure to provide
complete, omnichannel delivery of customer-facing solutions to meet both
regulatory and customer demands is putting enormous pressure on organizations
of all sizes and in every line of business. Fintech is a constant
battleground for this technology expanding trend and the lessons lea... (more)

Most companies are adopting or evaluating container technology - Docker in particular - to speed up application deployment, drive down cost, ease management and make application delivery more flexible overall. As with most new architectures, this dream takes a lot of work to become a reality. Even when you do get your application componentized enough and packaged properly, there are still challenges for DevOps teams to making the shift to continuous delivery and achieving that reduction in cost ...
Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media). This naturally makes support for multiple interfaces in container orchestration engines an indispensable requirement.
