Case Study: SkyTV achieves seamless hybrid cloud TV platform operations with OpenStack

Hybrid Cloud War Stories: Building a Next-Gen TV and Media Platform Using OpenStack and AWS

SkyTV, New Zealand’s leading TV provider, faced the challenge of introducing OpenStack into its environment while building the skills and operating model needed to run it effectively. The company also needed to help the wider business understand the benefits of a new cloud approach, and to manage complex application and networking environments across both public and private clouds.

Using OpenStack alongside AWS, SkyTV implemented a hybrid cloud platform with automation tools such as Heat and Ansible. OpenStack helped SkyTV rapidly provision, update, and manage environments, making development and deployment more seamless across both clouds while improving operational efficiency.
