Building Web Scale Using Open Source on the Internet Assembly Line
summary
SaltStack (Salt) is shown powering continuous delivery: Jenkins triggers Salt via Salt's event bus and returners push deployment metadata into Redis for Wikimedia, while an AMQP-backed file server streams large artifacts. LinkedIn runs Salt across ~30,000 bare‑metal nodes with pre‑wrap hooks to remove servers from load balancers and runners for Python orchestration; Harvard reports a job that fell from 15 minutes to under 5 seconds on 1,800 nodes. New work adds reactor logic plus ioflow for VM autoscaling and autonomous decision making.
