CHAPTER 1

Introduction to Salt

We’re not just talking about NaCl.

It was developed in order to bring the best solutions found in the world of remote execution together and make them

beer, faster, and more malleable. Salt accomplishes this through its ability to handle large loads of information, and

not just dozens but hundreds and even thousands of individual servers quickly through a simple and manageable

interface.

1.2 Simplicity

Providing versatility between massive scale deployments and smaller systems may seem daunting, but Salt is very

simple to set up and maintain, regardless of the size of the project. e architecture of Salt is designed to work with

any number of servers, from a handful of local network systems to international deployments across different data

centers. e topology is a simple server/client model with the needed functionality built into a single set of daemons.

While the default configuration will work with lile to no modification, Salt can be fine tuned to meet specific needs.

Salt also introduces more granular controls to the realm of remote execution, allowing systems to be targeted not

just by hostname, but also by system properties.
