Success Story

Engineering teams relied on a complex hybrid cloud setup to drive automotive innovation: a large on-premise private cloud (OpenStack and Cloud Foundry) alongside three public hyperscalers (GCP, AWS, Azure). Five platforms, hundreds of projects, and a growing number of developers who needed access.

The problem wasn’t the platforms themselves – it was the space between them. Each platform operated in its own silo, with its own identity management, its own onboarding process, its own way of granting permissions. For developers, getting started on a new project could take days. For the operations team, managing access, project setups, and compliance across five environments consumed an unsustainable share of their time.

They unified all five platforms under one self-service portal. Three things made the difference:

• One interface for every cloud. Whether a developer needs an OpenStack project, an AWS account, or a GCP workspace – the process is the same. No separate tools, no different workflows, no tickets to different teams.

• A unified governance layer. Permission management, service provisioning, and cost chargeback now work consistently across all platforms – on-premise and public cloud alike. The operations team sets the rules once; they apply everywhere.

• On-premise that feels like cloud. The private cloud environments (OpenStack, Cloud Foundry) are no longer second-class citizens. Developers interact with them through the same interface as with the hyperscalers – removing the friction that had made internal infrastructure harder to adopt than external services.

What used to take days now takes hours. Developers pick their platform, get their environment, and start working – without waiting for manual provisioning.

The operations team, freed from the daily grind of access management and project setup across five platforms, now focuses on improving infrastructure and driving strategic initiatives instead of processing requests.
