Daily chores known as day-2-operations serve the ever-growing need for more resources and services. But in the long run, that's not enough: Staffing new regions, integrated not only in the cloud infrastructure, but also in contract management, charging and billing, and uplinks, are challenges. Even that is only one dimension: With OpenStack’s recent 10-year-anniversary it’s clear that the software is the Open Source gold standard for the infrastructure layer (IaaS). But the world keeps turning. Lack of options is not the problem for cloud providers: The management platforms for Kubernetes and its ecosystem, for example, cannot be easily overlooked.

We share our thoughts on what we call day-3-operations in two parts of the presentation: In the Infrastructure part, we share our experience in setting up a new region at scale. In the Platform part, we discuss our plan and projections in extending to new services, requiring a reliable and future-proof service level.
