Is there a document or cheat sheet with all these commands on how to check versions of apps or install apps, manipulate users, groups, reading files easiy from the master?

Your Salt series is much appreciated and got me very interested in the project. Thank you! There is one question I could not find the answer for in the documentation: Is is possible to use the minions to monitor the server to prevent configuration drift? And extending it to auto-mitigation as well? In my searches so far, only Salt seems to have the basic capabilities to (be part of) such a solution.

Great stuff! Understanding the directory structure on both the master and minion and all the reasons for it is daunting at first, and the docs are not so great at laying that out clearly. So really appreciate this walkthrough with solid examples. Particularly with blending in how grains and pillars come from different sources. Your visual at the beginning was very helpful and I appreciate the time you must have taken to do that.

Very useful and clear video, I'll be going through your back catalogue! Thanks ❤

Thank you! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Hello, is it possible that you make a video about managing Windows using salt?

Thanks! This’ll be helpful.

thanks!

is there any privilege escalation in saltstack. I want to run salt command as a different user not root. What is the way to do this?

beautiful

Has anyone ever used Salt Stack to manage and set/apply values in a web.config file for a Windows IIS server? Any examples of what that looks like?

This was a great definitive tutorial. Thank you.

Hi, first of all Thank you very much for such a wonderful explanation. I am just wondering if my infra has more than 10k nodes then do I need to install salt minion manually on each instance ?

You are KING! Want to thank you. Best video of Salt Project! I still have more to watch but keep it up!!

Short and useful!

Thank u much man. Great explonation👍 Preparing for salting my env😉

Thank you so much :) Excellent video !!

Excellent explanation

☝️ Promo SM

Thank you for the video. This is exactly what I need for my work right now

The world needs you Matt! More content pls.

Thanks a lot !

We expect more Devops content from you sir. The way of explanation and labs are too good to learn.

This really helped me a lot to understand Salt and it's configurations. Thanks a lot!!!!

Best tutorial for salt. Please create more such videos on salt.

Hoping for more such salt videos

Best tutorial for Salt.

Thanks!!

Best sal video that I've seen! Very clear and practical!

Hey, I really liked this video. Its really amazing and help full. I just want to ask about the pillars part. What are these and how to use them??

Hey just watched this through, was very helpful. Looking for best practices and how to run in an enterprise environment regarding state management.

Another great video, showing errors is actually quite useful so we have more context on what's happening, so that was handy

Great video, good combination of background info and the actual commands/configs you need to get started

Great videos, thank you.

So if i understand good. The minion opens the connection to the master , no ?

These have been super helpful to jumpstart my lab, thank you!

This short series with several create-and-extend approaches really helped me making my very first steps with salt‘s basic structure with the root_files directory, top.sls and its highstates and states. Especially in terms of filesystem hierarchy, .sls- and .conf-files. This was a great addition to the official documentation. I was now able to set up the download and installation of a 3rd party monitoring rpm-file on debian and ubuntu. Unfortunately, I am stuck on the installation of a local rpm (CheckMK-agent, based on nagios) on opensuse/SLES systems. Diving deeper into the salt topic with this series would be appreciated. I personally know that creating these videos is combined with a lot of effort but increasing the scope of these tutorials in this deep diving manner will surely pay off in the long run. I‘ve seen several other channels but for me this was still the most understable and value-adding path. Dear devopsclinic, please continue producing. You are needed right here! :-) BR from germany 🐧

Thank you for the great video.

Keep it up!

I use Ansible almost daily, I love your videos thus far .... question, in ansible you have a hosts file with hosts groups [ ], is salt the same ?

Amazing

Well done Matt👍

Excellent video, simple and interesting explanation Thank you

Great video, keep them coming!

Great video, the getting started videos like this for Salt are lacking IMO. BTW, there is a glitch in the matrix at 17:10, deja vu

I do other stuff like that at work 😁

Great video

For each distribution you make a folder. Some people put code in the state file and using "if" statements to check the Os family. What is the best practice? Do we have to wait until the end to find out what Salt states had been run? In Ansible we see every step. This is easy to follow what the orchestration tool is doing. How works top.sls? If a match is found, it runs those salt states and then continues with the next match? Or is the top.sls first being analyzed and then being executed in sequential way or some parts in parallel. With "require" you can put some dependencies between Salt states. First install a web server, then install some files and at last start the web server daemon. Could you also put dependencies between minion's? ex. first install a database server and then the application server? I like very much your explanations about Salt! I learned a lot. Thank you very much to spend your time in making them!!!!

i want video every day!!!
