Cloud infrastructure for Earth observation and scientific big-data processing
CloudFerro operates OpenStack-based cloud platforms optimized for petabyte-scale Earth observation and climate research workloads across European scientific institutions. The stack is heavily infrastructure-focused (Kubernetes, Ceph, Proxmox, Terraform, Ansible) with Python/PostgreSQL/Redis for application logic—reflecting deep expertise in distributed storage and cluster orchestration. Current projects cluster around storage expansion, satellite image processing pipelines, and billing automation, while pain points signal friction between product velocity and operational complexity at scale.
