How a Top European Cloud Provider Migrated to Terraform Enterprise
summary
OVHcloud replaces a brittle homegrown deployment service with Terraform Enterprise to gain RBAC, dashboards, collaboration and scalability, migrating incrementally rather than rewriting. Teams write custom providers for proprietary bare metal, OpenStack and VMware, and build agents to absorb large-scale runs. Current footprint is about 800 workspaces, ~2,000 runs per week and 100–110 active deployers, with some teams covering 80–90% of their needs and a target to scale to tens of thousands of servers.
