At the beginning of 2012, eBay decided to overhaul its technology platform to support an increased focus on rapid innovation, and developer efficiency. To support this effort we built a developer cloud as an extension to our production cloud to give developers maximum flexibility and freedom while protecting business critical infrastructure.
This talk will present the challenges of designing a network infrastructure for both scale, and isolation, and how by using Software Defined Networks we were able to accommodate these two dimensions. We will also go through the automation aspects, presenting how the combination of openstack and quantum, allowed the rapid deployment of our developer cloud.
