Salt Cloud is a tool for provisioning salted minions across various cloud
|
|
|
|
|
providers. Currently supported providers are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Amazon EC2
|
|
|
|
|
GoGrid
|
|
|
|
|
HP Cloud (using OpenStack)
|
|
|
|
|
Joyent
|
|
|
|
|
Linode
|
|
|
|
|
OpenStack
|
|
|
|
|
Rackspace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The salt-cloud command can be used to query configured providers, create VMs on
|
|
|
|
|
them, deploy salt-minion on those VMs and destroy them when no longer needed.

|
Salt Cloud requires Salt to be installed, but does not require any Salt daemons
|
|
|
|
|
to be running. However, if used in a salted environment, it is best to run Salt
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud on the salt-master, so that it can properly lay down salt keys when it
|
|
|
|
|
deploys machines, and then properly remove them later. If Salt Cloud is run in
|
|
|
|
|
this manner, minions will automatically be approved by the master; no need to
|
|
|
|
|
manually authenticate them later.
