This +means systems can be easily managed, but data can also be easily +gathered. Quick introspection into running systems becomes a reality. + +Remote execution is usually used to set up a certain state on a remote +system. Salt addresses this problem as well, the salt state system uses +salt state files to define the state a server needs to be in. + +Between the remote execution system, and state management Salt addresses +the backbone of cloud and data center management. |
