AT A GLANCE
Challenge
Traditional cloud architectures were too expensive and slow to operate at Fastweb's scale.
Solution
A hyperscale-like Kubernetes platform with Clastix multi-tenancy serving hundreds of tenants from one architecture.
Outcome
Unprecedented operational agility and scalability at a fraction of the previous infrastructure cost.
SUMMARY
Success story overview
Fastweb, a leading Italian telco and cloud provider, needed to evolve its FASTcloud platform beyond traditional, enterprise-first architectures that were too expensive and slow to operate at cloud-native scale. Partnering with Clastix, Fastweb built a hyperscale-like Kubernetes platform powered by Clastix Capsule, enabling container-as-a-service for hundreds of customers from a single multi-tenant architecture, with strong tenant isolation, self-service provisioning, and full GitOps automation. The result: hyperscale-like agility and automation, a significantly reduced hardware footprint, and a fraction of the operational burden of the previous per-cluster model, all without proprietary vendor lock-in.
KEY REQUIREMENTS
- Self-service provisioning without manual intervention
- Hard multi-tenancy with strong resource isolation
- Upstream Kubernetes — no vendor lock-in
- GitOps-ready, declarative automation
- Bring-your-own-device support for multi-cloud strategy
KEY OUTCOMES
- Hundreds of customers served from one multi-tenant architecture
- Hyperscale-like automation without vendor lock-in
- Reduced hardware footprint through smart multi-tenancy, more customers, fewer resources
- Operations teams freed for higher-value services work
- A full GitOps-ready model from day one
