Media.net venturing to private cloud
summary
Claim: a self‑service private cloud migrates many bare‑metal apps and yields cheaper scale if microservices reach critical mass. Stack choices: cloudstack over OpenStack, KVM containers, and experimenting with Ceph (object store pending) plus an acquired HP 3PAR for highly available block storage. Built: tagging and per‑team cost accounting, a lock‑token quorum workaround to avoid split‑brain on networked volumes. Result: partial success — migrations and elasticity work, Ceph shows degrade/kernel panic issues so stays nonproduction, object storage still unfinished.
