This page contains instructions to download and install the 2016.3 release of SaltStack. Bootstrap works across many platforms and is the easiest way to get started. If you cannot use Bootstrap or if you prefer packages, click the tab for your platform. Latest branch release: 2016.3.8 (October 9, 2017) Colton Myers Janardhan, Salt doesn't immediately download files to the destination location. It downloads the files to a cache directory so it can compare hashes and make sure everything is in order, before copying it into place. Moving away from Puppet: SaltStack or Ansible? Devops, while in Ansible you must use the s3 module to download a file to a temporary location on the filesystem, then use one of the file modules to manage it. Salt has state modules for the following things that Ansible did not have: SLS file: High State. Each individual State represents a piece of high data(pkg.installed:'s block), Salt will compile all relevant SLS inside the top.sls, When these files are tied together using includes, and further glued together for use inside an environment using a top.sls file, they form a High State.

Using Salt for Configuration Management and Orchestration teaches how to use Salt (SaltStack) to work with Linux-based infrastructure. The course begins by exploring the fundamentals and components of Salt, then demonstrates how to install, configure, and manage Salt using a master-minion setup. I wrote a python/boto script for launching our instances that shells our to salt-key --gen-keys and cp's the key to the masters key dir and puts the keys in s3 bucket that the minion can download. This allows the minion to salt-call to the master but the master can't reach the minion. I have a very simple use case that I'm trying to get going: I need to download and install a few tar.gz source packages from the master and then run a script to compile and install all of them.

Commit Score: This score is calculated by counting number of weeks with non-zero commits in the last 1 year period. So if 26 weeks out of the last 52 had non-zero commits and the rest had zero commits, the score would be 50%.

I have an IAM role for my EC2 instance that provides full access to the S3 bucket. Manually running salt-call s3.get mys3bucket Clouds include Amazon S3, Google Storage, Aliyun, Azure Blobs, Ceph, OpenStack swift. Downloading a file¶ This example will download the file from the remote cloud and keep it locally. web_things: libcloud_storage.file_present: salt.states.libcloud_storage.state_result Note. This fileserver back-end is only compatible with MD5 ETag hashes in the S3 metadata. This means that you must use SSE-S3 or plaintext for bucket encryption, and that you must not use multipart upload when uploading to your bucket. Create a Local Mirror of the SaltStack Package Repo. The SaltStack package repo supports mirroring using an s3 api compatible sync tool such as the aws-cli, or rclone. Note that we use a custom endpoint so we can switch buckets easily. For example:

This is a short post but something I ran across recently which I found baffling initially and would have loved to have a reference for. I was trying to run a deployment and it failed because SaltStack couldn’t reach the server. I thought it was just your run of the mill salt-minion being in a bad state but, surprisingly, that was not the case. overall, i think you are limited by what the installer command can do.. whether it can reference a pkg file located on an ftp/http server, s3 bucket, standard input, local file only, etc.. fwict by some of the man pages i've found online, it supports local pkg files only. if that's true, you'll most likely need to download the file to the minion. You can grep/cut away the extraneous characters. Neither of these options are particularly elegant and the later doesn't address the timeout but it works while I'm looking for an answer to a similar question; "How to list all associated minions via the saltstack python api?".
14 Sep 2017 I added support for specifying these extra arguments directly in the Salt S3 object state, as well as an additional argument which loads defaults
I need advice/ ideas about how can I ensure data consistency in my s3 bucket. I have 2-3 users pushing and reading resources from s3. As one can easily see this leads to data inconsistency( User A is downloading that resource from S3 while User B is still writing to it). We are syncing saltstack code from s3.

Keep critical systems properly configured to increase reliability and optimize resource utilization. SaltStack event-driven IT automation is unique in its ability to immediately detect events triggered by system configuration drift, multiple integrations, or pre-defined infrastructure policies and enforce desired state. System power state S4, the hibernate state, is the lowest-powered sleeping state and has the longest wake-up latency. To reduce power consumption to a minimum, the hardware powers off all devices. Operating system context, however, is maintained in a hibernate file (an image of memory) that the system writes to disk before entering the S4 state. drush -root={{project_info.sources.target}} sql-dump > /home/{{user_id}}/backups/database/{{user_id}}-drupalbackup.sql:
