summary
Claims that Salt combines remote execution, config management, cloud control and an event reactor into a unified automation stack and that event-driven reactors scale to real production. Built components: Salt event bus, beacons for embedded monitoring, a single-event reactor in production since 2013 used at Wikipedia and LinkedIn, and a new Thorium aggregate reactor implementing flow programming. Deployed at scale — Salt manages into the millions of servers and is in active use for IoT, CloudFlare networking, and continuous deployment.
