GoDaddy adopted OpenStack in late 2013 and has since scaled it significantly. They now run over 16,000 VMs and 2000 hypervisors on OpenStack. GoDaddy has focused on automating packaging, deployment, and operations through tools like Kolla, Ansible, and continuous integration/deployment. While the scale provides challenges, GoDaddy remains engaged in the community through contributions and the #openstack-operators channel. Areas for future work include further automation, self-healing, and improved APIs.
