File Server Configuration
|
||
|
|
=========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Salt file server is a high performance file server written in ZeroMQ. It
|
||
|
|
manages large files quickly and with little overhead, and has been optomized
|
||
|
|
to handle small files in an extreamly efficient manner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Salt file server is an environment aware file server, this means that
|
||
|
|
files can be allocated within many root directories and accessed by
|
||
|
|
specifying both the file path and the environment to search. The
|
||
|
|
individual environments can also be spanned across mutiple directory roots
|
||
|
|
to crate overlays and to allow for files to be orginaized in many flexible
|
||
|
|
ways.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Environments
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Salt file server defaults to the mandatory ``base`` environment. This
|
||
|
|
environment MUST be defined and is used to download files when no
|
||
|
|
environment is specified.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Environments allow for files and sls data to be logically seperated, but
|
||
|
|
environments are not isolated from each other. This allows for logical
|
||
|
|
isolation of environments by the engineer using Salt, but also allows
|
||
|
|
for information to be used in multiple environments for maximum flexibility.
