Real-World DevOps Experiences from a 165-year Old Bank
summary
Standard Chartered runs 1,000 production apps across 60 countries and enforces about 250 security controls and a 35‑step change flow, which makes ops optimized for compliance not speed. A newly branded VX pipeline hosts 200 teams, does 6,000 builds/week and yields up to 90% turnaround reduction for some teams though only one team reaches full automated deploy-to-production so far. A homegrown virtual Andon tool ships in 10 days, run deck automates operational tasks (about 13,000 jobs this year) and replaces manual screen‑video audits. Containers on Kubernetes and private‑cloud patterns are being rolled out next with SRE adoption underway.
