Parallel Execution
==================
Granular Controls
=================
The core function of Salt is to enable remote commands to be called in parallel
rather than in serial. It does this over a secure and encrypted protocol using
the smallest and fastest network payloads possible. All of this is possible
and Salt still manages to have a simple interface for developers. Salt also
introduces more granular controls to the realm of remote execution,
allowing for commands to be executed in parallel and for systems to be targeted
based on more than just hostname, but by live system properties.
