.. rubric:: Simplified system communication
|
|
|
|
Salt is a powerful remote execution manager that can be used to administer
|
|
servers in a fast and efficient way.
|
|
|
|
Salt allows commands to be executed across large groups of servers. This means
|
|
systems can be easily managed, but data can also be easily gathered. Quick
|
|
introspection into running systems becomes a reality.
|
|
|
|
Remote execution is usually used to set up a certain state on a remote system.
|
|
Salt addresses this problem as well, the salt state system uses salt state
|
|
files to define the state a server needs to be in.
|
|
|
|
Between the remote execution system, and state management Salt addresses the
|
|
backbone of cloud and data center management.
