Scalable Systems Management with Salt
summary
Salt is presented as a scalable systems-management tool that can handle tens of thousands of nodes using both master/minion and SSH (push and pull) models. The talk covers concrete Salt features: remote execution over SSH, pillar for per-host variables with Jinja templating, state files to install packages and restart services, the event-driven reactor to trigger automated actions, reuse of formulas via a Galaxy/Formula repository, and salt-cloud provisioning of VMs which are registered to the master and run states end-to-end.
