There is an old-timey model in which the key elements of banking are, like, having a local branch, looking customers in the eye and giving them a hearty handshake, knowing their parents, etc. But in modern banking the importance of having a website and a payments app and, uh, “keeping track of customer deposits” is relatively higher, and the handshaking is relatively less important. For big banks, this means that they are increasingly and self-consciously becoming tech companies, building apps and hiring developers and blathering about blockchain.

"There are a million solutions out there to your technical problems, but what we wanted was to solve the people and process problems," And: "It depends on Pivotal. If they add a common pattern in the future for deployment with Istio and Envoy through a cluster and platform-agnostic service mesh, then, yes, we will combine them," said another senior engineer at the carrier.

I’ve tracked at least three different definitions of DevOps since the days of “agile infrastructure”: Using Puppet and Chef (and then Ansible and Chef) to replace Opsware and BladeLogic. Full stack engineers to setup EC2, load-balancers, and other Morlock shit. Full stack engineers are bad, but sort of the same thing. Also, you can’t have a DevOps “group” or title. But, you know, someone should do all that automation. Putting all the people on one team, having them focus on a product, and establishing a culture of caring and learning.

Want to come to Austin & talk about DevOps, Java, THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS & cloud hoopla? Apply to speak at SpringOne Platform this year, Oct 7th to 10th. I help pick talks for 3 tracks, so you can torment me! This is the last week to CFP! SUBMIT!

A brief overview: The expansion centers around Google’s new open-source hybrid cloud package called Anthos, which was introduced at the company’s Google Next event this week. Anthos is based on – and supplants – the company's existing Google Cloud Service beta. Anthos will let customers run applications, unmodified, on existing on-premises hardware or in the public cloud and will be available onGoogle Cloud Platform(GCP) withGoogle Kubernetes Engine(GKE), and in data centers withGKE On-Prem, the company says.
