Comments on Install And Use SALTStack In A Mixed Environment

Install And Use SALTStack In A Mixed Environment Salt is a new approach to infrastructure management. Easy enough to get running in minutes, scalable enough to manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to communicate with them in seconds. Salt delivers a dynamic communication bus for infrastructures that can be used for orchestration, remote execution, configuration management and much more... The main porpuse of this document is not just install SaltStack, because it is well documented elsewhere, but rather give you a slight insight of its usability.

Thanks for giving more coverage to slightly-less-popular-but-still-fantastic tools like Salt. Other tools that is easy to get working, yet highly effective in the same solution space are Rex (http://www.rexify.org/, https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-manage-your-servers-with-rex-best-practice ) and Ansible (https://github.com/ansible/ansible). We all know about Puppet, Chef, and CFEngine already. Thanks.
