<h1>What is Salt?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Salt is a powerful remote execution manager that can be used to
|
|
administer servers in a fast and efficient way.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Between the remote execution system, and state management Salt
|
|
addresses the backbone of cloud and data center management.</p>
