Salt Formula

Salt is a new approach to infrastructure management. Easy enough to get running in minutes, scalable enough to manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to communicate with them in seconds.

Salt delivers a dynamic communication bus for infrastructures that can be used for orchestration, remote execution, configuration management and much more.

Sample Metadata

Salt master

Salt master with base formulas and pillar metadata backend

.. literalinclude:: tests/pillar/master_single_pillar.sls
   :language: yaml

Salt master with reclass ENC metadata backend

.. literalinclude:: tests/pillar/master_single_reclass.sls
   :language: yaml

Salt master with API

.. literalinclude:: tests/pillar/master_api.sls
   :language: yaml

Salt master with defined user ACLs

.. literalinclude:: tests/pillar/master_acl.sls
   :language: yaml

Salt master with preset minions

salt:
  master:
    enabled: true
    minions:
    - name: 'node1.system.location.domain.com'

Salt master with pip based installation (optional)

salt:
  master:
    enabled: true
    ...
    source:
      engine: pip
      version: 2016.3.0rc2

Install formula through system package management

salt:
  master:
    enabled: true
    ...
    environment:
      prd:
        keystone:
          source: pkg
          name: salt-formula-keystone
        nova:
          source: pkg
          name: salt-formula-keystone
          version: 0.1+0~20160818133412.24~1.gbp6e1ebb
        postresql:
          source: pkg
          name: salt-formula-postgresql
          version: purged

Formula keystone is installed latest version and the formulas without version are installed in one call to aptpkg module. If the version attribute is present sls iterates over formulas and take action to install specific version or remove it. The version attribute may have these values [latest|purged|removed|<VERSION>].

Clone master branch of keystone formula as local feature branch

salt:
  master:
    enabled: true
    ...
    environment:
      dev:
        formula:
          keystone:
            source: git
            address: [email protected]:openstack/salt-formula-keystone.git
            revision: master
            branch: feature

Salt master with specified formula refs (for example for Gerrit review)

salt:
  master:
    enabled: true
    ...
    environment:
      dev:
        formula:
          keystone:
            source: git
            address: https://git.openstack.org/openstack/salt-formula-keystone
            revision: refs/changes/56/123456/1

salt:
  master:
    enabled: true
    handler:
      handler01:

        bind:
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 9999
  minion:
    handler:
      handler01:
        engine: udp
        bind:
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 9999
      handler02:
        engine: zmq
        bind:
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 9999

Salt master peer setup for remote certificate signing

Salt synchronise node pillar and modules after start

salt:
  master:
    reactor:
      salt/minion/*/start:
      - salt://salt/reactor/node_start.sls

Trigger basic node install

salt:
  master:
    reactor:
      salt/minion/install:
      - salt://salt/reactor/node_install.sls

Sample event to trigger the node installation

salt-call event.send 'salt/minion/install'

Run any orchestration pipeline

salt:
  master:
    reactor:
      salt/orchestrate/start:
      - salt://salt/reactor/orchestrate_start.sls

Event to trigger the orchestration pipeline

salt-call event.send 'salt/orchestrate/start' "{'orchestrate': 'salt/orchestrate/infra_install.sls'}"

Classify node after start

salt:
  master:
    reactor:
      reclass/minion/classify:
      - salt://reclass/reactor/node_register.sls

Event to trigger the node classification

salt-call event.send 'reclass/minion/classify' "{'node_master_ip': '$config_host', 'node_ip': '${node_ip}', 'node_domain': '$node_domain', 'node_cluster': '$node_cluster', 'node_hostname': '$node_hostname', 'node_os': '$node_os'}"

proxy:
  proxytype: napalm
