Multi-Provider Cloud Architecture at a Managed Service Provider
summary
A managed service provider builds a multi-provider stack using Gardener as the Kubernetes orchestration layer and OpenStack cloud pods for sensitive workloads, deploying multiple greenfield racks with Supermicro servers, NetApp storage, 100G/400G SONiC switches and an out‑of‑band metal bootstrap for bare‑metal provisioning. The MVP runs isolated network/storage/management zones, reaches production‑grade ISO/C5 compliance, integrates with an existing cloud brokerage, uses Jake for Gardener lifecycle, and plans a Plexhere platform for unified multicloud operations and billing.
