Cambodia's private financial institution, ABA Bank (Advanced Bank of Asia), has modernised its IT infrastructure by transitioning from a legacy monolithic system to a microservices-based architecture.
The aim is to enhance service reliability, cut costs, and speed up app launches.
This shift helps the bank achieve 99.999 percent service availability for customer-facing and critical applications.
It has cut application deployment time by half and reduced container management costs by 15 percent.
The bank has selected SUSE, a German multinational open-source software company.
ABA Bank is using the SUSE Rancher Prime and SUSE Security platforms.
Rancher Prime is an enterprise Kubernetes management platform, and SUSE Security is a fully open source, zero-trust container security platform.
ABA Bank’s head of DevOps department, Men Phalla, says SUSE Rancher Prime gives the bank the agility and visibility to innovate, while SUSE Security provides real-time insights to mitigate risks.
Manage containerised workloads
ABA Bank adopts SUSE Rancher Prime to manage containerised workloads across cloud and on-premise environments from a single dashboard.
This helps developers and operations teams build, update, deploy, and manage applications efficiently.
The bank automates deployment and monitoring.
This improves operational efficiency and enables the team to roll out new applications 50 percent faster.
ABA Bank switches from the previous container management platform to Rancher Prime.
This reduces container management costs by up to 15 percent.
The savings free up resources to reinvest in innovation and improve customer experience.
The bank has integrated SUSE Security into its new microservices environment.
This strengthens defenses against cyber threats and ensures compliance with Cambodia’s financial regulations.
With SUSE Security, DevOps teams detect vulnerabilities in real time and respond to protect customer data.
ABA Bank is exploring advanced AI-driven services, including customer support assistants.
These efforts will help the bank further enhance its digital channels.
