Consulting & architecture
Expertise
From scoping to production: I design open private cloud platforms, then help teams run them for the long term.
OpenStack architecture & studies
Sizing, distribution choice (kolla-ansible, Red Hat OpenStack Platform), Neutron networking, bare metal with Ironic, high availability and security.
Ceph distributed storage
Ceph clusters for block, object and file: replication or erasure coding, integration with Cinder, Glance and Nova, tuning and incident recovery.
Operations & level-3 support
Troubleshooting complex production incidents (Nova, Cinder, Neutron, Pacemaker), operations tooling and knowledge transfer.
Platform migrations
Moving off end-of-life distributions to a supported platform without disrupting tenants: inventory, cutover strategy, acceptance.
Sovereign modular datacenter
Container-based infrastructure: power, cooling, density and an open software stack for a cloud that deploys fast.
Sovereignty & reversibility
Private cloud strategies without vendor lock-in: open source, in-house skills, data kept under control.
How I work
- Independent: I resell neither licences nor hardware. My advice depends only on your needs.
- Hands-on: I work on real production platforms, not just diagrams.
- Knowledge transfer: every engagement leaves documentation and more autonomous teams.
