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

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.

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?
