You should use Docker running in the EC2 or Azure GCP server Ubuntu. I won't recommend VMs – "VMware or Oracle virtual machines".

Our core banking and global systems are running with Kubernetes and Docker (Django, Node, Express, and Next.js code).

As a banking company, we used VM because of existing management mechanism on VMware. However, the K8s product fee on VM is much higher than on BM.

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).
