Learning objectives
• Understanding the core benefits of using AWS
• Digital Transformation on AWS for the Financial Services sector
• Build a flexible, scalable DevOps pipeline for regulated environments in
minutes, not months
• Nurture, plan, prove, scale, and improve enterprise financial services
transformations
• Empower client teams to continually innovate with Contino’s DevOps

Expanding regulatory
oversight and ever-
increasing compliance
obligations
Tighter focus on
information security
due to public scrutiny,
the frequency and
ferocity of hacking
attacks, and regulatory
initiatives
Rising volumes of
data and the need to
store and analyze it for
compliance &
competitive purposes
Increased competition,
both from traditional
peers and new non-
traditional players
The rapidly changing
compute paradigm:
on-premises is no longer
more secure or cost
effective; Infrastructure-
as-a service (IaaS)
continues to power
innovation
Scarce resources – in
all areas including
capital outlay,
headcount, and
specialized skill sets.
What are the challenges for the Financial Services
sector?

Complex legacy infrastructure makes it hard…
The Financial Services Borg Cube:
Historically grown, monolithic and complex
infrastructure
 Expensive to run
and to change
 Innovation
constrained and slow
 Step change cost
reductions difficult

$1.5 trillion will be spent on digital
transformation and cloud in 20181, but 70% of
projects are expected to fail.2
We saw the same problems time and
again…and created repeatable solutions to
accelerate DevOps adoption on AWS.

Key Principles
The entire stack is automated
using infrastructure as code,
including compute, network,
storage, applications and
development tooling.
The framework
proposes best-of-breed
open source tools.
But anything is
pluggable and
Swappable.
There is no lock in to the
framework – it is a thin
wrapper around best of breed
open source tools such as
Packer, Terraform and
Docker.
It is not limiting in any way.
We can drop out of it at any
time and into the underlying
tools.
We make use of
immutable server images
and application
containers to support
consistent environments
and application
deployments.
The framework is highly
secure, making use of all
platform features for
security.
It also incorporates
infrastructure as code to
achieve compliance and
governance.

Momentum
Momentum is Contino’s structured delivery
framework for transforming enterprise IT to
a DevOps operating model and culture. It
consists of a defined roadmap of activities
and a framework for growing and
measuring maturity and capability uplift
We have identified, practiced and invested in
repeatable patterns of engagement that fully
align people, process and technology to help
our customers maximize their technology
investments.
We built this into our DevOps framework:
Momentum.
Our Proven Framework for Scaled Enterprise DevOps Adoption

Momentum
The Challenge:
• To accelerate technology and application innovation while also remaining
compliant and controlled
Common Questions:
• How do we prove DevOps in our environment and the unique context of our
business?
• How do we scale it to hundreds or thousands of engineers and applications?
• How do we track improvement and validate the business case?
• How and where do we adopt these principles?
• What should our DevOps operating model look like?
Our Proven Framework for Scaled Enterprise DevOps Adoption

Momentum
Opinionated
It’s a proven template and
roadmap for success which
has been tested with large,
global, regulated clients.
Measurable
Using our proprietary DevOps
Maturity database we baseline
performance and track
progress at regular intervals.
We plug these into capability
matrices to map them back
to capability uplift.
Lightweight
It isn’t all encompassing,
documentation heavy or rigid.
Prove Then Scale
Builds from small proof points
of DevOps in yourenvironment
before accelerated scale-up.
Holistic
It considers and accounts for
all people, process and
technology elements of this
transformation.
Momentum has been
designed based on lessons
learnt from nearly 100
Enterprise DevOps
transformation deployments.
Key Principles

Momentum is based around the following roadmap of activities
