Gustavo Fiuza & Welton Danyel Felipe, Banco de Brasil & Rodrigo Ramalho, Red Hat
In this KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 segment, Gustavo Fiuza, DevOps engineer at Banco de Brasil, and Welton Danyel Felipe, IT manager at Banco de Brasil, join theCUBE’s Rob Strechay, with colleague Rodrigo Ramalho helping bridge the conversation, to share how a 200-year-old bank is modernizing on Kubernetes. They walk through Banco de Brasil’s hybrid multi-cloud journey, explaining why they extended from on-premises environments to public cloud and chose OpenShift to reduce the time and effort required to meet strict regulatory and governance demands while managing growing infrastructure complexity. They also discuss how standardized delivery processes and GitHub-based workflows are helping teams ship more applications faster, with better reliability and scalability for end customers. Looking ahead, the group details how Banco de Brasil is rolling out AI bots and broader AI initiatives across both customer-facing and internal use cases, and shares candid lessons about the cultural transformation needed to move a highly regulated institution into a cloud-native, AI-ready future.
