The Kubernetes ecosystem of users, vendors and developers is rapidly evolving to ensure its adoption becomes seamless and manageable. Most enterprises, across all domains, are eager to embrace Kubernetes as part of their digital transformation journey. While each industry has a different set of problems to solve, it is clear that Kubernetes has become the common platform to build and deploy solutions. In this article, we take a closer look at the financial services domain and examine how Kubernetes is influencing banking solutions. **Author: Sreekanth Nyamars - Open Source Center of Excellence Lead, Office of CTO, Wipro**   ## [FINOS Joins The Linux Foundation - Unity is Strength](https://www.finos.org/blog/finos-joins-the-linux-foundation-unity-is-strength) April 09, 2020 [Gabriele Columbro](https://www.finos.org/blog/author/gabriele-columbro) [Leave a comment](https://www.finos.org/blog/finos-joins-the-linux-foundation-unity-is-strength#comments-listing) [![](https://www.finos.org/hubfs/finos-joins-the-linux-foundation-2.png)](https://www.finos.org/blog/finos-joins-the-linux-foundation-unity-is-strength) *“L’unione fa la forza” (unity is strength)* is one of the most common proverbs in the Italian language.
