Cases

Real-world examples of how PlatformOS is deployed and used. Each case lists the goal, the cluster layout, the OpenStack services involved and the outcome.

Case 1. Private cloud for a mid-sized company

A company with several hundred employees moved its development and production workloads from scattered servers to a private cloud. Each department gets its own project, and access is controlled by roles.

Parameter	Value
Cluster	5 nodes, Ceph storage
OpenStack services	Nova, Neutron (VLAN), Cinder, Glance, Keystone, Horizon
Workloads	About 180 virtual machines across 12 projects
Outcome	Provisioning time cut from days to minutes; hardware utilization doubled

Case 2. Hosting provider with built-in billing

A regional hosting provider wanted to sell virtual servers to its customers under usage-based and monthly tariffs, without building its own billing system.

Parameter	Value
Cluster	7 nodes, Ceph storage, VXLAN data network
OpenStack services	Nova, Neutron (VXLAN), Cinder, Keystone, billing module
Tariffs	Monthly plans and pay-as-you-go, with a free trial period
Outcome	Invoices and statements generated automatically at the end of each billing period

Case 3. Dev/test environment from the app catalog

An engineering team needed ready-made tooling for its developers without manual setup. The team deploys GitLab, Jenkins and PostgreSQL from the one-click app catalog into a separate project with its own quotas.

Parameter	Value
Cluster	3 nodes, Ceph storage
OpenStack services	Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, Keystone, one-click app catalog
Applications	GitLab, Jenkins, PostgreSQL
Outcome	A new environment is ready in under 30 minutes; quotas keep test resources under control
