Standing Up OpenStack at Time Warner Cable
summary
Time Warner Cable builds a production OpenStack cloud in six months, deploying two data centers with global identity, HA/DR control plane and geo‑redundant object storage. Platform boots thousands of VMs and provides hundreds of terabytes of object and block storage; initial Havana rollout moves toward Icehouse while automated tooling keeps the stack close to trunk. Networking migrates to Neutron with ml2 plugin and VXLAN, storage design shifts away from SAN fiber‑channel to software block nodes to enable live migration with attached volumes. Team grows to ~15 across three regions.
