Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCraig Anderson is a Principal Cloud Architect based in Seattle with eight years focused on designing and delivering large-scale, production OpenStack and Kubernetes-based private clouds for telco and enterprise customers. He combines deep IaaS expertise (CPU pinning, hugepages, hardware acceleration) with hands-on lifecycle work—from Helm charts and Airship core development to scripting, CI/CD and release management—to turn business requirements into resilient technical solutions. At AT&T and Mirantis he pioneered distributed, shared-nothing OpenStack architectures and multi-cloud resource management, and he routinely navigates corporate complexity to address root causes rather than symptoms. He also organizes configuration-as-code at scale, defines cloud strategy and best practices, and directs onboarding and migration of legacy workloads into modern cloud platforms. A seasoned mentor and communicator, Craig presents at OpenStack events and writes technical guidance that blends pragmatic tradeoffs with long-term operational thinking. Beyond architecture, he’s notable for bridging developer workflows and operator realities—translating strategic aims into reproducible automation and measurable outcomes.
