"Presentation of SaltPad, a modern web User Interface for Saltstack. Saltstack is a great configuration management tool, but not very accessible for newcomers and non ""Configuration Management"" experts. SaltPad aims to fill the gap by offering a clean, simple interface to manage the different aspects of Salt, making it easier to start with SaltStack and manage your SaltStack cluster day after day. If offers a nice reporting view for jobs, especially for highstate jobs; helps you launch jobs and define predefined jobs, that can be launched with a single button; and finally, a dashboard for a global view of your cluster. SaltPad is a great tool to help empower people to be autonomous on deployment and have visibility on the stack and deployment formulas. At first developed with a classical Python Stack, SaltPad has been rewritten as a Single App Page with React. Its combination with the websocket interface of salt-api, simplifies the implementation and adds the niceties of a reactive interface."
