Nordea is the biggest Nordic bank and, in this presentation, you will hear about the initial stages of the journey of its Core Banking Program (CBP) into the world of containers. Jose is working in the program as part of the Infrastructure Delivery Stream and is CBP’s PaaS platform owner. Nordea’s PaaS is set up on Red Hat OpenShift and, currently, CBP is using the platform for the rapid provisioning of development and test environments, for experimenting with the setup, and for getting the platform production-ready.
If you join the presentation, you will hear about their experience and lessons learned when setting up the Core Banking Platform in a containerized environment. Jose will share the positive results achieved in terms of provisioning (ease and time), deployment, and also what was gained from having more control of the whole environment (including database). Finally, he will take you through the next steps for CBP in Nordea’s PaaS, both in the short and long term.
Jose is the DevOps Lead in Accenture Denmark, has been working in Accenture for 4 years (with the last 2 years being mainly focused in DevOps), and has been part of Nordea’s Core Banking Program since its start in September 2015. Jose has a PhD in Formal Methods and Network Security from the Technical University of Denmark and has been living in Copenhagen for the last 9 years - but hasn’t completely forgotten how to speak Portuguese (most of the time anyway!).
