    What do you think all those cattle run on?

    Just big ass servers with tons of cores and ram.

      I figured it was cattle all the way down. Even if they’re big. Especially when you have thousands of them.

      Though maybe these setups can be scripted/automated to be easy to replicate and reproduce?

        In essence yes, for example VMware ESXi hosts can be managed by a single image with customizations made at the cluster level. Give me pxe and I can provision you n hosts in about the same time as 1 host
