Automating Development Environments with Salt

Salt is an open-source configuration management tool with some really interesting and useful features. In this session we will cover some of the key capabilities and concepts of Salt and demonstrate how we can use Salt to configure and manage development environments. Salt Documentation: https://docs.saltproject.io/ Tutorial: https://docs.saltproject.io/en/getstarted/ Formula Repository: https://github.com/orgs/saltstack-formulas/repositories Production quality formulas Cover 100s of commonly used packages On the question on Kubernetes support there is a Kubernetes state module (documentation at https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.kubernetes.html#module-salt.states.kubernetes) and this can be used to manage most of the standard Kubernetes constructs e.g. deployments, secrets, services etc. There are also state modules for related services such as Helm, Docker etc. There is also a Kubernetes formula at https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/kubernetes-formula that can be used to stand up a Kubernetes cluster.
