Discover how this declarative and portable system enables eBay to manage its entire data center infrastructure. Gain insights into the architecture, bootstrap process, and bare metal provisioning system. Understand how eBay leverages Salt operators, GitOps practices, and Kubernetes-inspired scheduling features to create a highly scalable, self-healing, and cloud-native system for unifying their fleet management.
