An OpenShift DevOps platform in a highly regulated environment (45 minutes session) | Breakout session
Do your developers have to talk to many different groups just to get a simple environment set up? Is your DevOps really just Dev?Barclays have built a platform based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform that really does enable their developers to go from dev to production in a day, complying with all their control processes. Developers are even happy to hand back infrastructure as they know they can re-acquire environments when needed.Come and listen to how Barclays overcame cultural and process challenges that are part and parcel of a highly regulated banking environment. They used innovative enablement programmes, with extreme focus on their internal customers, to achieve high customer adoption and satisfaction rates. This is a very successful journey to DevSecOps and this session will explain how they achieved this.
