Salt Guide
Salt is a configuration management solution in orcharhino. You can use Salt similarly to Ansible and Puppet.
-
Import Salt States, assign them to Salt Environments, and associate those Salt Environments with hosts or host groups.
-
Use orcharhino as an external node classifier (short: ENC) for Salt. Set Salt Variables for Salt States similar to Puppet smart class parameters. orcharhino parameters are made available as Salt Pillars which can in turn be used as variables in Salt States, too.
-
View config management reports and facts called Salt Grains in orcharhino.
-
Run arbitrary Salt functions, for example
state.highstatefrom the management UI.
Use Salt to configure your managed hosts. For more information, see Salt Environments, Salt States, and Salt Variables.
