Salt (also known as SaltStack) was right.
> 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.
- skrebbel 7y agoThanks! I'm ultra confused about their marketing btw. Their website doesn't even say it's open source. You have to sign up to "try it now". It's like they don't want customers? Or are people who want to understand what they're buying not the target market, somehow? For reference, this appears to be the Salt primer: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/getstarted/system/index.html https://docs.saltstack.com/en/getstarted/system/index.html
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoI think there is a small subset of users where open source is actually a buying decision
- skrebbel 7y agoSure, but understanding what the thing is, that's part of the buying decision right? I have no clue what https://www.saltstack.com/ https://www.saltstack.com/ is about. How do I get from this: > Drive IT security into the 21st century. Amplify the impact of your entire SecOps team with global orchestration and automation that remediates security issues in minutes, not weeks. to "it's a provisioning tool for servers, like ansible but faster"?
- cdcarter 7y agoThe docs landing page have me an easier to grok picture of what it does, purely based on seeing what the doc headers are - https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/
- deadbunny 7y agoSalt the company's marketing is atrocious, Salt the software is great.
