VM Profiles
===========
Salt cloud designates virtual machines inside the profile configuration file.
The profile configuration file defaults to ``/etc/salt/cloud.vm`` and is a
yaml configuration. The syntax for declaring profiles is simple:
.. code-block:: yaml
fedora_rackspace:
provider: rackspace
image: Fedora 17
size: 256 server
script: Fedora
A few key peices of information need to be declared and can change based on the
public cloud provider. A number of additional paramaters can also be inserted:
.. code-block:: yaml
centos_rackspace:
provider: rackspace
image: CentOS 6.2
size: 1024 server
script: RHEL6
minion:
master: salt.example.com
grains:
role: webserver
Some paramaters can be specified in the main Salt cloud config file and then
are applied to all cloud profiles. For instance if only a single cloud provider
is being used then the provider option can be declared in the Salt cloud config
file.
