Malaysia’s Alliance Bank and the Philippines’ Asian Development Bank have turned to open-source solutions provider Red Hat to help with their respective journeys to the cloud. The US based open-source software player said that the two banks, among other financial institutions in the local region, have taken on its Ansible Automation Platform as their core automation platform in their journey to the cloud. Both the financial institutions explicitly named by Red Hat represent examples of early adopters of the infrastructure automation technology to support business growth while increasing resiliency and reliability. It is understood that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) was looking into deploying automation solutions that would improve operational efficiency and effectiveness by automating repetitive tasks. The bank, which uses a hybrid environment with workloads running on-premises virtualization platforms, wanted to focus on the consistency of automation of on-prem, extending to the public cloud.
The integration offered by open-source technology, combined with the software provider’s procedures for developing code in a hybrid environment, was well-suited for the Asian Development Bank as it looked to use cloud as its primary source of infrastructure. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform allows us to build secure infrastructure that’s supported with automation. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat OpenShift typically work together to create a scalable platform for transformation.
