Initial basic support for Proxy Minions is in this release. Documentation can¬

be found :doc:`here </topics/proxyminion>`.⌴⌴¬

Proxy minions are a developing feature in Salt that enables control of¬
|
|
|
|
|
devices that cannot run a minion. Examples include network gear like switches¬
|
|
|
|
|
and routers that run a proprietary OS but offer an API, or "dumb"¬
|
|
|
|
|
devices that just don't have the horsepower or ability to handle a Python VM.¬
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Proxy minions can be difficult to write, so a simple REST-based example proxy¬
|
|
|
|
|
is included. A Python bottle-based webserver can be found at⌴¬
|
|
|
|
|
http://github.com/cro/salt-proxy-rest as an endpoint for this proxy.¬

This is an ALPHA-quality feature. There are a number of issues with it
|
|
|
|
|
currently, mostly centering around process control, logging, and inability to

work in a masterless configuration.
