Building and Managing Kubernetes with Kubernetes

Explore a 28-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation that delves into eBay's innovative approach to building and managing Kubernetes clusters using Kubernetes itself. Learn how eBay developed a fleet management system based on Kubernetes, modeling everything from servers and subnets to operating systems and packages as Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). 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.
