In the last chapter, we installed our Salt minion and Salt master and learned how to send our first commands. In this chapter, we are going to expand upon what we learned there. We will learn:

  • How to target minions in a variety of different ways
  • Grains and how they are useful for remote execution
  • The basic relationship between minion and master
  • Practical examples of how you can use remote execution to make managing your servers easier
