Automating Networks Using Salt, Without Running Proxy Minions
summary
Shows how Salt SProxy lets Salt control network gear without installing minions by running proxy minions that act as intermediaries, keeping Salt’s REST API and event-driven automation intact. Describes deployment patterns (hub-and-spoke, cloud-hosted proxies), required connectivity, proxy configuration and templating, and runs live demos of executing Salt commands against switches and pulling state back into the master. Demonstrations succeed and the plugin integrates with existing Salt environments with minimal changes.
