Red Hat OpenShift (IBM) is what a lot of banks have settled on. Red Hat went all in maybe 5+ years ago in capturing those institutions.

  Is that in addition to mainframes or for completely replacing them?

    Probably both, to respond to the risk tolerances of any given org.

    Both Some stayed at on prem, some pushed code to mainframe VMs in the cloud, some went to OpenShift (mostly on prem from what Ive seen, probably 80-85%).
- VorpalWay 6mo ago
  Ah, that explains why IBM bought RedHat. Or at least one reason for doing so.

    I'd imagine close to 95% in the US, if they're running important workloads on prem on Linux, it's on RHEL. A staggering number of VMs and bare metal.

      (Clarification: I'm not saying 95% of all US company Linux workloads are RHEL, not even close. I'm saying a huge percentage of high criticality (risk of loss of life / high financial risk) are, simply because of support and the name.)

        Exactly. The exact opposite of the people flogging internet widgets running on a bunch of AWS instances running Arch/Ubuntu/Cheap distro of the week. Unfortunately that contingent is massively over-represented here on HN.

I work in banking. We provide modern solutions for small local banks in the US. That's how our core runs. It's just Java apps (Spring Boot, Jakarta EE) running in the cloud.

  That post fails to mention Capital One's move from IBM mainframes to AWS was one of the reasons they suffered one of the largest data breaches in history.
  - throwaway27448 6mo ago
    And what was the financial cost of this?
    - throwawaypath 6mo ago
      At least $270,000,000 in direct costs [0]. [0] https://www.security.org/identity-theft/breach/capital-one/ https://www.security.org/identity-theft/breach/capital-one/
