    That’s actually the area I currently work in, though not banking specifically. We do financial software for small governments. All the software was written in the 80s and 90s and we’re babying it along well into the 2030s in all likelihood. Those old systems require very specific environments which we’re now trying to emulate in the cloud. It’s fairly specific at the end of the day. And because this small government segment is currently undergoing consolidation I know what we see is the norm.

    Thankfully I just have to maintain the cloud infrastructure and making it as reliable and secure as possible.

      As long as you remember that the cloud is just someone else’s computer that they have admin rights on.
