4. The “Wicked Problem” - Disruption within Investment Banking
Drop in Margins: Capital Markets are experiencing a decline in margins, higher
costs per trade and significant market volatility.
Compliance and Regulation: There is a greater focus on risk management,
standardization of asset portfolios and a shift towards “vanilla” trading books
which is being driven by industry regulation (MiFFID II, Basel III, FRTB).
Cost Efficiencies: This hit on margins has resulted in the need for Investment
Banking CIO’s to respond to market needs rapidly, in a more cost effective and
efficient manner.
Streamlined Platforms: Application consolidation strategies to a single “out of
the box” trading solution are not uncommon, in order to deploy a full front to
back trading platform.
Technical Debt: However, delivering change to these platforms is technically
challenging, as monolithic modes of delivery and antiquated technology stacks
introduce obstacles for optimisation.

5. The Vicious Cycle of Market Volatility on CMIB IT Functions
The wicked problems of regulation, compliance and budget constraints are hampering many of our Investment Banking customers to deliver
innovative IT change at speed, without increasing risk to the business. We are using Cloud & DevOps to help organisations quash the Vicious
Cycle of change and shift to a Virtuous Cycle that enables innovation and accelerated delivery of change across their trading platforms.

6. Our DevOps & Cloud Framework for Trading Platforms
Trading platforms are complex, interconnected systems which have many downstream dependencies, data feeds, end of day batch processes
across multiple environments. To simplify the delivery pipeline, we have brought together both open source and enterprise class tools, whilst
harnessing the power of cloud to accelerate environment provisioning and reduce cost across the software delivery lifecycle, using
Continuum.

CONTINO’S RESPONSE

7. What tools are a part of our framework?
Our trading platform DevOps framework leverages Continuum, a Contino developed solution. Continuum is a Continuous Delivery pipeline
tool chain which integrates both open source and enterprise grade tools to enable the creation of a secure application delivery pipeline in
AWS. In order to assist with the provisioning of production like test data, we leverage Delphix, a data virtualization and data masking solution
which introduces significant business value in the CMIB domain. We also maximise Ansible and Terraform to accelerate environment
provisioning.
Data Masking
The most advanced data security solution
available.
Continuum, is a platform we deploy within weeks
• Full infrastructure as code
• Multi region, multi availability zone deployments
• Microservice / containerised deployments targeting Kubernetes
• Continuous integration & continuous delivery toolchain
Cloud Migration
Achieve value from cloud projects faster.
DevOps
Complete the DevOps stack with self-service
data.

8. What is the value of our DevOps framework for CMIB’s?
Our framework has already been deployed against three leading trading platforms in Gartner's Magic Quadrant, and is adding significant
business value to several of our customers, by accelerating their release cycles and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) across the board.
Cost Reduction: Our framework has helped customers
reduce the TCO for their trading platform by up to 70%
Faster Environments: By utilizing AWS hosted development
& test environments, customers can build environments in
ten minutes, as opposed to ten days.
Faster Test Data: The framework can capture production
trade data, obfuscate it and deploy it into an environment in
under four minutes, as opposed to 8 hour dump and loads.
Snapshots: The framework uses snapshots, that allow
developers and testers to rollback to previous versions,
seamlessly. Instead of requesting full environment rebuilds.
Environment Visibility: Our delivery pipeline is fully
configuration managed so we can see who did what, when
to satisfy regulatory controls and compliance needs.

9. Demonstration - Building Tribeca in the Cloud
We have created a short demonstration, which will illustrate how we use a cloud
hosted Continuous Delivery pipeline to provision a fully operational trading
application.
The trading application we will use for this demonstration is Tribeca, an open
source, low latency, Microservice based trading application that can react to market
data by placing and canceling orders in under a millisecond.

11. How can your organisation apply our DevOps framework?
In order to apply our DevOps framework to your organization's trading platform, we would suggest you adopt the following phased approach,
in order to de-risk the change, whilst maximising your return on investment. This approach has been used at three of our customers to date.
Phase 1
Analyse Existing Application & Prove
Tech -
4 Weeks
On Premise Activity
Client
Application Servers
Database
1. Align InfoSec and Business to secure data sign-off and identify what is sensitive and what isn’t.
2. Understand E2E Architecture and dependencies for your trading application. Then map the new
landscape, design and document network connections/ACL’s
2. Discover how you provision environments at present and what configuration parameters constitute a
fully compliant environment. Design, build and road test CI pipeline. (Continuum can help)
3. Perform remediation and hygiene standard of where you store configuration files, source code and test
cases. Consolidate these to a standard repository.
4. Build automation playbooks/recipes and build architecture/security/configuration parameters into your
environment provisioning process. Test & validate new delivery mode on premise.
4. Road test virtual database technologies and integrate with scripts to ensure you can copy and obfuscate
production trade data. (Technologies like Delphix help with this)

2. Validate SSL connectivity back to your business hubs, secure data
sign-off from business and build out data engineer layer. (Delphix)
3. Use automation scripts built in phase one to provision new
environments, road test, validate and get sign-off. Performance test
and pen test.
4. Execute pilot adoption of AWS instances to ensure projects can
deliver change in a secure and controlled manner.

Key Steps in Phase 3
1.Migrate workloads in a phase approach, firstly ensuring Development
environments are stable.
2. From here, you can then systematically phase in the ensuing
environments across the route to production using the CI-CD pipeline.
3. You should be executing continuous quality and security checks
against the environments. Using compliance and security frameworks
like InSpec (Chef) can help automate this.
4. Validate your full route to live is viable and ensure your production
instance work’s better than your current state.
5. Migrate production workloads to AWS, run fully automated
regression and ensure benchmarking is acceptable.
