SaltStack is a new System Management Platform that provides various automations for the lifecycle of systems (HW/VMs). This makes it possible to trigger routines based on specific events using Salt Reactor. The event-based orchestration component of SaltStack recognizes f.e. the adding of new Salt minions (agents) in the Salt host inventory/database, the start of minions after the first system booting, the execution of any (distributed) commands (local or master-triggered) and much more. You can use this framework to provision newly created hosts/VMs with packages and configuration files, or to fully automate the rollout/deployment of new software releases and pre/post actions (DB backup, schema update, removal von temporary files, etc.).
