Speed is tied to developer on boarding and developer productivity. Visa wants new developers to be able to deploy code on their first day. That means giving them tools they are familiar with and getting out of their way. It also means providing developers access to infrastructure whenever and wherever they need it.

Efficiency is tied to Visa’s ability to maximize utilization of their existing datacenter footprint while also reducing the time the team spends on patching and refreshing hardware. Optimizing their efficiency also frees up both headcount and datacenter resources to support their global growth initiatives.

While considering how they could support these objectives, Visa also has to meet the high bar on security and availability that underpins everything they do. Some of the core systems at Visa have had zero downtime over a span of 20 years!
Modernizing with Docker Enterprise Edition
After investigating different technologies and vendors who could help them achieve both speed and efficiency objectives, Visa chose Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE) to help them move towards a microservices application model while also modernizing their data center operations.
Visa was looking for an enterprise-ready solution and appreciated the integrated approach of the Docker EE stack which includes scheduling, service registry, service discovery, container networking, and a centralized management control plane. Docker EE allows them to manage multiple development, QA, and staging environments, gain visibility across their container environment, and retain full control over role-based access.
Visa chose two key applications to begin their Docker journey – a core transaction processing application and a risk decision system. These were legacy monolithic applications which they began to containerize into services. Those two applications are now running in production on Docker EE across multiple regions and handling 100,000 transactions per day. They consist of 100 separate containers and have the ability to instantly scale to 800 when transactions peak.

Results and Benefits

With Docker EE now in production, Visa is seeing improvements in a number of ways:

Provisioning time: Visa can now provision in seconds rather than days even while more application teams join the effort. They can also deliver just-in-time infrastructure across multiple datacenters around the world with a standardized format that works across their diverse set of applications.
Patching & maintenance: With Docker, Visa can simply redeploy an application with a new image. This also allows Visa to respond quickly to new threats as they can deploy patches across their entire environment at one time.
Tech Refresh: Once applications are containerized with Docker, developers do not have to worry about the underlying infrastructure; the infrastructure is invisible.
Multi-tenancy: Docker containers provides both space and time division multiplexing by allowing Visa to provision and deprovision microservices quickly as needed. This allows them to strategically place new services into the available infrastructure which has allowed the team to support 10x the scale they could previously.

To hear more about how Visa was able to gain 10x scalability for their application with Docker, watch Swamy’s presentation from the Day 2 general session below:

Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) is designed for enterprise development and IT teams who build, ship and run business critical applications in production at scale. Docker EE is integrated, certified and supported to provide enterprises like Visa with the most secure container platform in the industry to modernize all applications.

Here’s what we covered during the day 2 general session:

14:00 Docker Enterprise Edition at Visa
30:00 Securing the Software supply chain
65:00 Oracle applications now available on Docker Store
75:00 Modernize your Traditional Apps Program with Docker

Docker Enterprise Edition at Visa
Ben started off his DockerCon Day 1 keynote with key facts and figures around Docker Commercial Adoption. To illustrate his points Ben invited on stage Swamy Kochelakota, Global Head of Infrastructure and Operations at Visa to talk about their journey adopting Docker Enterprise Edition to run their critical applications at scale in a very diverse environment.
Securing the Software supply chain
During the day 2 keynote, Lily and Vivek and reprise their 2016 roles of dedicated burners, finally returning from Burning Man to get back to their jobs of enterprise dev and ops.  Ben returns as clueless business guy, and decides to add value by hiring a contractor, who also went to Burning Man and pushed code from there. Company policy says that developers push code to dev repos, and if they pass certain criteria they are promoted to prod repos, and they can be deployed. The code written from Burning Man was laden with vulnerabilities and failed the promotion step. Luckily, Lily was able to clean up the image and pass it through promotions. Vivek then deployed the full stack, which consisted of an linux frontend and MS SQL DB on Windows. Using docker, he was able to deploy this stack on a hybrid Linux Windows cluster with just 1 click, bringing up the Enterprise Art Store and showing off some great enterprise art.
Oracle applications now available on Docker Store
Ben later asks Lily and Vivek to deploy the software from a 90s ecommerce company he acquired within an hour, and to do it in the container thingies. The app consists of a LAMP stack VM and Oracle DB. Vivek is skeptical that this can be containerized within an hour, but Lily is convinced Docker’s tools can handle it, so they make a bet of $20. Lily uses image2docker to convert the LAMP stack VM into a container without any code change. And as it turns out, Oracle has recently collaborated with Docker to containerize many of their apps, including OracleDB! The database is now an official product on the Docker Store, and can be found here. Using the converted VM and OracleDB from the store, Vivek was able to deploy the 90s app within the 1 hour time limit. Read more about Oracle database and developer tools now available on Docker Store.
Modernize your Traditional Apps Program with Docker
Finally, Ben announced the Modernize Traditional Applications (#MTA) Program to help enterprises make their existing legacy apps more secure, more efficient and portable to hybrid cloud infrastructure.  Collaboratively developed and brought to market with partners Avanade, Cisco, HPE, and Microsoft, the MTA Program consists of consulting services, Docker Enterprise Edition, and hybrid cloud infrastructure from partners to modernize existing .NET Windows or Java Linux applications in five days or less.  Designed for IT operations teams, the MTA Program modernizes existing legacy applications without modifying source code or re-architecting the application.  Read more about the Modernize Traditional Apps Program.
