What is SaltStack?
|
||
==================
|
||
|
||
SaltStack makes software for complex systems management at scale.
|
||
SaltStack is the company that created and maintains the Salt Open
|
||
project and develops and sells SaltStack Enterprise software, services
|
||
and support. Easy enough to get running in minutes, scalable enough to
|
||
manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to communicate with
|
||
them in *seconds*.
|
||
|
||
Salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic
|
||
communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration,
|
||
remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for
|
||
any app stack, and much more.
|
||
|
||
