Context

Scality deploys its RING object storage solution for defense-sector customers, on classified sovereign environments where every manual step is both a risk and a cost.

My mission: make this deployment fully automated and reproducible, from infrastructure provisioning down to the system and network configuration of the storage nodes.

Sovereign Infrastructure as Code

  • Terraform modules for GCP Assured Workloads (an S3NS-equivalent foundation).
  • OpenStack deployment on OVHcloud (OPCP) for sovereign environments.
  • Instance provisioning fully driven by Cloud Init.

Automation and system foundation

  • Deployment scripts guaranteeing a 100% automated install, with zero manual intervention.
  • System and storage configuration: Rocky Linux, RAID.
  • Networking: LACP link aggregation and strict environment segmentation.

Results

  • Solution install reproducible identically across every customer environment.
  • Zero manual intervention: the full deployment is scripted end to end.
  • Meets the requirements of classified defense-sector environments.
