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

[@stacyshields8131]

Thanks! This’ll be helpful.

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.

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

[@DevOpsClinic]

Definitely. I'll add it to the list.

[@BucifalulR]

@@DevOpsClinic That would be really nice indeed. Thank you for the tutorials.
