These commands will run in sequence **before** the bootstrap script is executed.
New salt-cloud Grains
=====================
When salt cloud creates a new minon, it will now add grain information
to the minion configuration file, identifying the resources originally used
to create it.
The generated grain information will appear similar to:
.. code-block:: yaml
grains:
salt-cloud:
driver: ec2
provider: my_ec2:ec2
profile: ec2-web
The generation of salt-cloud grains can be surpressed by the
option ``enable_cloud_grains: 'False'`` in the cloud configuration file.
Upgraded Saltify Driver
=======================
The salt-cloud Saltify driver is used to provision machines which
are not controlled by a dedicated cloud supervisor (such as typical hardware
machines) by pushing a salt-bootstrap command to them and accepting them on
the salt master. Creation of a node has been its only function and no other
salt-cloud commands were implemented.
With this upgrade, it can use the salt-api to provide advanced control,
such as rebooting a machine, querying it along with conventional cloud minions,
and, ultimately, disconnecting it from its master.
After disconnection from ("destroying" on) one master, a machine can be
re-purposed by connecting to ("creating" on) a subsequent master.
New Vagrant Driver
==================
The salt-cloud Vagrant driver brings virtual machines running in a limited
environment, such as a programmer's workstation, under salt-cloud control.
This can be useful for experimentation, instruction, or testing salt configurations.
Using salt-api on the master, and a salt-minion running on the host computer,
the Vagrant driver can create (``vagrant up``), restart (``vagrant reload``),
and destroy (``vagrant destroy``) VMs, as controlled by salt-cloud profiles
which designate a ``Vagrantfile`` on the host machine.
The master can be a very limited machine, such as a Raspberry Pi, or a small
VagrantBox VM.
