SaltStack Config – Reactors (Not Nuclear Ones!)

Feb 22, 2021Feb 23, 2021 / vnuggets

Overview In the last article I talked about how we can deploy a configuration onto a Salt Target that allows the Target to send events onto the event bus when defined criteria are met. This type of configuration is known as a Beacon and might be defined for a config deviation, a service crash, package … Continue reading SaltStack Config – Reactors (Not Nuclear Ones!)

SaltStack Config – Creating Beacons

Feb 18, 2021Feb 19, 2021 / vnuggets

Overview In the last article I covered some of the options available to build configuration maps for different types of servers.

I'm just going to be looking at some of the basics here so we'll save things like requisite states, template filtering etc for a future article. … Continue reading SaltStack Config – States and State Files

SaltStack Config – Starting At The Beginning

Feb 10, 2021Mar 4, 2021 / vnuggets

Overview I could quite easily just go straight into some SaltStack examples and configurations, completely bypassing what it is, where it came from and how we plan on using it in the future but that would be no fun. So in this article I'm going to cover some of the fundamentals surrounding SaltStack and SaltStack … Continue reading SaltStack Config – Starting At The Beginning
