Since I've choosen Salt too (after trying Ansible and ditching it) and I'm (slowly) starting with it, can I ask which documentation you used or would reccomend? I think I like Salt, but when I try reading the official manuals, I always get the feeling the were written "the other way round" (e.g. providing a lot of nit-picky detail, but failing to give the big picture). bye & Thanks av.
