Cloud functions work much the same way as cloud actions, except that they don't
|
|
|
|
|
perform an operation on a specific instance, and so do not need a machine name
|
|
|
|
|
to be specified. However, since they perform an operation on a specific cloud
|
|
|
|
|
provider, that provider must be specified.

There are three universal salt-cloud functions that are extremely useful for
|
|
|
|
|
gathering information about instances on a provider basis:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* ``list_nodes``: Returns some general information about the instances for the given provider.
|
|
|
|
|
* ``list_nodes_full``: Returns all information about the instances for the given provider.
|
|
|
|
|
* ``list_nodes_select``: Returns select information about the instances for the given provider.
