How ADP Adopted a Container Mindset

Episode Summary

James Ford is a chief architect at ADP, an $11 billion company and a pillar in the human capital management world. Ford and his team have made significant investments in Docker, going from about 1000 containers in use across the enterprise to now more than 3,000. It's just the beginning of scale out for the company but already they have done enough to feel comfortable about containers, in particular with their security. The discussion with Ford in this podcast reflects the considerations enterprise companies have to take when changing to a container architecture approach. The value for ADP is in the way Docker may be used across multiple environments including virtual machines, mainframes, bare metal, Amazon Web Services and Azure.
