Future Tech Masterclasses Live: Michael Bentley – Azure DevOps is at the heart of the new Developer Engineering ECO System
In 2016 ABN AMRO IT sowed the seeds of change. Not one but two Public Clouds were added to a diverse IT landscape. Many development technologies were, and still are in use. The development tooling is predominantly IaaS and diverse. In 2019 a positive decision was taken to rationalise and simplify the IT landscape, to ensure the bank could realise its digital transformation ambitions according to plan. The decision came as a surprise to many in IT, not least in development. The impact is significant. Azure is now the hosting platform of choice, and Azure DevOps the SaaS solution chosen to manage the software development lifecycle and DevOps.
