KeyBank enhances developer agility and
deployment speed with Linux containers and Kubernetes
orchestration, powered by Red Hat’s more secure, flexible and open
enterprise container platform
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that KeyBank, one of the United
States’ largest bank-based financial services companies, used the
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to expand the bank’s digital
banking capabilities.
As with many large companies, KeyBank found that application
delivery resulted in complexity growth over time, with slow manual
testing, quarterly release cycles and outages resulting in poor
Mean-to-time-Resolution (MTTR).
Among other changes, KeyBank created a DevOps practice that
could create a culture of innovation and quickly look at the
marketplace for tools that could help increase agility and customer
experience. KeyBank's DevOps team wanted to embrace an approach
that also provided greater security for customer information. Like
all large financial services organizations, the bank adheres to
complex regulatory requirements that can make it challenging to
move even simple changes into production.
To help meet these goals, KeyBank’s DevOps team began
considering a container-based application platform, seeking to
decrease complexity by isolating applications from the underlying
infrastructure and helping development teams get to work with
minimal configuration and management time.
The Linux container space, however, was quickly evolving, so
KeyBank wanted a trusted partner to not only help them tap into the
open source community around containers but also to help them move
containers into production in a more secure and stable manner. Red
Hat, a top contributor to both the Docker and Kubernetes open
source projects, and its award-winning Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform fit KeyBank’s criteria.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the first and only
container-centric, hybrid cloud solution built from the Docker,
Kubernetes, Project Atomic and OpenShift Origin upstream projects
and based on the trusted backbone of the world’s leading enterprise
Linux platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform provides a more secure, stable platform for
container-based deployments without sacrificing current IT
investments, allowing for mission-critical, traditional
applications to coexist alongside new, cloud-native and
container-based applications.
As KeyBank already had an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux
environment, deploying Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform allowed
them to retain consistency across their infrastructure footprints.
When challenges did arise, KeyBank’s IT team knew that they could
call on Red Hat’s award-winning Global Support Services
organization to share best practices and provide the world-class
support that they needed to continue running at scale.
In seven months, KeyBank completed product evaluation,
selection, and migration of multiple applications to Red Hat
OpenShift Container Platform, and built its container-centric
environments for development, testing, staging and production.
KeyBank also created a continuous delivery pipeline to automate the
majority of application development tasks through Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform, enabling developers to focus on moving quickly
to market, reliability, and quality.
Within its continuous delivery culture and in response to
customer input, KeyBank can now look forward to application release
cycles with little to no downtime. Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform is now integrated with KeyBank’s automated
testing, with analysis showing that 60 percent of defects are now
resolved within a day.
KeyBank now plans to spread its DevOps teams into other projects
in order to help scale the practice across the organization.
Supporting Quotes
Ashesh Badani, vice president and general manager, OpenShift,
Red Hat“Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform helps bring the best
of containers to the forefront, and KeyBank is a great example of
an organization using containers to modernize its IT organization
while introducing new digital services and applications to its
customers. As its technology partner in this modernization, Red Hat
is ready to continue to help KeyBank as they employ containers to
enable digital transformation.”
John Rzeszotarski, director of DevOps, KeyBank“When we completed
our initial technology review, we found that there was really only
one software vendor investing in the capabilities of Docker and
Kubernetes while providing the support and enterprise-grade
hardening that we required in a production container platform. That
company was Red Hat and the product was OpenShift. OpenShift meets
these goals with the utilization of Docker that simplifies
Infrastructure engineering, delivery, and support; moreover,
Kubernetes provides the robust reliability and service levels a
flagship application requires for a large enterprise.”
