Salt is a powerful remote execution manager that can be used to
|
|
administer servers in a fast and efficient way.
|
|
|
|
Salt allows commands to be executed across large groups of servers. This
|
|
means systems can be easily managed, but data can also be easily
|
|
gathered. Quick introspection into running systems becomes a reality.
|
|
|
|
Remote execution is usually used to set up a certain state on a remote
|
|
system. Salt addresses this problem as well, the salt state system uses
|
|
salt state files to define the state a server needs to be in.
|
|
|
|
Between the remote execution system, and state management Salt addresses
|
|
the backbone of cloud and data center management.
