Kubernetes use cases are far less heard in the financial industry in China, because the core financial system consists of complex “brownfield” applications that are not Kubernetes-friendly, and require better quality of service, fine-grained resource management, and stringent security guarantees. Nevertheless, the digitalization trend urges Chinese banks to transform their business to the Internet-style where Kubernetes can shine. We share a real journey of augmenting Kubernetes to support core services for the largest financial institute in China with >$8 Trillion card payment value yearly. We share our architectural design and techniques to overcome the aforementioned challenges, including a unified networking control plane, a hardened security and access control-plane, a full-fledged multi-tenant management layer, supporting FSI applications with custom controllers, etc.
