Using ISC Kea DHCP in our data centers

What this post added

This post details Meta's migration of its data center DHCP infrastructure from ISC dhcpd to ISC Kea. This migration was driven by the need for faster server provisioning and reduced downtime, especially at scale. By leveraging Kea's extensibility and hook points, Meta was able to create a stateless DHCP service that dynamically fetches configuration from its inventory system, simplifying deployment and maintenance, and ultimately contributing to faster hardware bootstrapping and repair times.
