INTRODUCTION TO SALT

       We’re not just talking about NaCl.

   The 30 second summary
       Salt is:

       • A  configuration  management system. Salt is capable of maintaining remote nodes in defined states. For
         example, it can ensure that specific packages are installed and that specific services are running.

       • A distributed remote execution system used to execute commands and query data on remote nodes. Salt can
         query and execute commands either on individual nodes or by using an arbitrary selection criteria.

       It was developed in order to bring the best solutions found in the world of remote execution together and
       make them better, faster, and more malleable. Salt accomplishes this through its ability to handle  large
       loads  of  information, and not just dozens but hundreds and even thousands of individual servers quickly
       through a simple and manageable interface.

   Simplicity
       Providing versatility between massive scale deployments and smaller systems may seem daunting,  but  Salt
       is very simple to set up and maintain, regardless of the size of the project. The architecture of Salt is
       designed  to  work  with  any number of servers, from a handful of local network systems to international
       deployments across different data centers. The topology is a simple server/client model with  the  needed
       functionality  built  into a single set of daemons. While the default configuration will work with little
       to no modification, Salt can be fine tuned to meet specific needs.

   Parallel execution
       The core functions of Salt:

       • enable commands to remote systems to be called in parallel rather than serially

       • use a secure and encrypted protocol

       • use the smallest and fastest network payloads possible

       • provide a simple programming interface

       Salt also introduces more granular controls to the realm of remote  execution,  allowing  systems  to  be
       targeted not just by hostname, but also by system properties.

   Builds on proven technology
       Salt  takes  advantage of a number of technologies and techniques. The networking layer is built with the
       excellent ZeroMQ networking library, so the Salt daemon includes a viable  and  transparent  AMQ  broker.
       Salt  uses  public  keys  for  authentication with the master daemon, then uses faster AES encryption for
       payload communication; authentication and encryption are integral  to  Salt.   Salt  takes  advantage  of
       communication via msgpack, enabling fast and light network traffic.

   Python client interface
       In  order  to allow for simple expansion, Salt execution routines can be written as plain Python modules.
       The data collected from Salt executions can be sent back to  the  master  server,  or  to  any  arbitrary
       program.  Salt can be called from a simple Python API, or from the command line, so that Salt can be used
       to execute one-off commands as well as operate as an integral part of a larger application.

   Fast, flexible, scalable
       The result is a system that can execute commands at high speed on target server groups ranging  from  one
       to very many servers. Salt is very fast, easy to set up, amazingly malleable and provides a single remote
       execution  architecture  that  can  manage  the  diverse requirements of any number of servers.  The Salt
       infrastructure brings together the best of the remote execution world,  amplifies  its  capabilities  and
       expands  its  range,  resulting  in  a  system  that is as versatile as it is practical, suitable for any
       network.

   Open
       Salt is developed under the Apache 2.0 license, and can be used for open and proprietary projects. Please
       submit your expansions back to the Salt project so that we  can  all  benefit  together  as  Salt  grows.
       Please feel free to sprinkle Salt around your systems and let the deliciousness come forth.

SALT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

   Overview
       This page provides a high-level overview of the Salt system architecture and its different components.

   What is Salt?
       Salt is a Python-based open-source remote execution framework used for:

       • Configuration management

       • Automation

       • Provisioning

       • Orchestration

   The Salt system architecture
       The following diagram shows the primary components of the basic Salt architecture: [image]

       The following sections describe some of the core components of the Salt architecture.

   Salt Masters and Salt Minions
       Salt uses the master-client model in which a master issues commands to a client and the  client  executes
       the  command. In the Salt ecosystem, the Salt Master is a server that is running the salt-master service.
       It issues commands to one or more Salt Minions, which  are  servers  that  are  running  the  salt-minion
       service and that are registered with that particular Salt Master.

       Another  way  to describe Salt is as a publisher-subscriber model. The master publishes jobs that need to
       be executed and Salt Minions subscribe to those jobs. When a specific job applies to that minion, it will
       execute the job.

       When a minion finishes executing a job, it sends job return data back to the master. Salt has  two  ports
       used  by  default  for  the  minions  to communicate with their master(s). These ports work in concert to
       receive and deliver data to the Message Bus. Salt’s message bus is ZeroMQ, which creates an  asynchronous
       network topology to provide the fastest communication possible.

   Targets and grains
       The  master indicates which minions should execute the job by defining a target. A target is the group of
       minions, across one or many masters, that a job's Salt command applies to.

       NOTE:
          A master can also be managed like a minion and can be a  target  if  it  is  running  the  salt-minion
          service.

       The  following  is an example of one of the many kinds of commands that a master might issue to a minion.
       This command indicates that all minions should install the Vim application:

          salt -v '*' pkg.install vim

       In this case the glob '*' is the target, which indicates that all minions should  execute  this  command.
       Many  other targeting options are available, including targeting a specific minion by its ID or targeting
       minions by their shared traits or characteristics (called grains in Salt).

       Salt comes with an interface to derive information about the  underlying  system.   This  is  called  the
       grains  interface,  because  it  presents  Salt  with grains of information. Grains are collected for the
       operating system, domain name, IP address, kernel, OS type, memory, and many other system properties. You
       can also create your own custom grain data.

       Grain data is relatively static. However, grain data is refreshed when system information  changes  (such
       as network settings) or when a new value is assigned to a custom grain.

   Open event system (event bus)
       The event system is used for inter-process communication between the Salt Master and Salt Minions. In the
       event system:

       • Events are seen by both the master and minions.

       • Events can be monitored and evaluated by both.

       The event bus lays the groundwork for orchestration and real-time monitoring.

       All  minions  see  jobs  and  results by subscribing to events published on the event system. Salt uses a
       pluggable event system with two layers:

       • ZeroMQ (0MQ) - The current default socket-level library providing a flexible transport layer.

       • Tornado - Full TCP-based transport layer event system.

       One of the greatest strengths of Salt is the speed of execution. The event system’s communication bus  is
       more  efficient  than  running  a  higher-level  web  service  (http). The remote execution system is the
       component that all components are built upon, allowing for decentralized remote execution to spread  load
       across resources.

   Salt states
       In  addition to remote execution, Salt provides another method for configuring minions by declaring which
       state a minion should be in, otherwise referred  to  as  Salt  states.  Salt  states  make  configuration
       management  possible. You can use Salt states to deploy and manage infrastructure with simple YAML files.
       Using states, you can automate recursive and predictable tasks by queueing jobs  for  Salt  to  implement
       without needing user input. You can also add more complex conditional logic to state files with Jinja.

       To  illustrate  the  subtle  differences  between remote execution and configuration management, take the
       command referenced in the previous  section  about  Targets  and  grains  in  which  Salt  installed  the
       application Vim on all minions:

              └──────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘

       The state file that verifies Vim is installed might look like the following example:

          # File:/srv/salt/vim_install.sls

          install_vim_now:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - vim

       To apply this state to a minion, you would use the state.apply module, such as in the following example:

          salt '*' state.apply vim_install

       This command applies the vim_install state to all minions.

       Formulas are collections of states that work in  harmony  to  configure  a  minion  or  application.  For
       example, one state might trigger another state.

   The Top file
       It  is  not  practical to manually run each state individually targeting specific minions each time. Some
       environments have hundreds of state files targeting thousands of minions.

       Salt offers two features to help with this scaling problem:

       • The top.sls file - Maps Salt states to their applicable minions.

       • Highstate execution - Runs all Salt states outlined in top.sls in a single execution.

       The top file maps which states should be applied  to  different  minions  in  certain  environments.  The
       following is an example of a simple top file:

          # File: /srv/salt/top.sls

          base:
            '*':
              - all_server_setup

            '01webserver':
              - web_server_setup

       In  this  example,  base refers to the Salt environment, which is the default.  You can specify more than
       one environment as needed, such as prod, dev, QA, etc.

       Groups of minions are specified under the environment, and states are listed for  each  set  of  minions.
       This top file indicates that a state called all_server_setup should be applied to all minions '*' and the
       state called web_server_setup should be applied to the 01webserver minion.

       To run the Salt command, you would use the state.highstate function:

          salt \* state.highstate

       This command applies the top file to the targeted minions.

   Salt pillar
       Salt’s  pillar  feature  takes  data  defined on the Salt Master and distributes it to minions as needed.
       Pillar is primarily used to store secrets or other highly sensitive data, such  as  account  credentials,
       cryptographic  keys, or passwords.  Pillar is also useful for storing non-secret data that you don't want
       to place directly in your state files, such as configuration data.

       Salt pillar brings data into the cluster from the opposite direction as grains.  While  grains  are  data
       generated from the minion, the pillar is data generated from the master.

       Pillars are organized similarly to states in a Pillar state tree, where top.sls acts to coordinate pillar
       data to environments and minions privy to the data. Information transferred using pillar has a dictionary
       generated  for  the targeted minion and encrypted with that minion’s key for secure data transfer. Pillar
       data is encrypted on a per-minion basis, which makes it useful for storing sensitive data specific  to  a
       particular minion.

   Beacons and reactors
       The beacon system is a monitoring tool that can listen for a variety of system processes on Salt Minions.
       Beacons  can  trigger  reactors  which  can  then  help  implement a change or troubleshoot an issue. For
       example, if a service’s response times out, the reactor system can restart the service.

       Beacons are used for a variety of purposes, including:

       • Automated reporting

       • Error log delivery

       • Microservice monitoring

       • User shell activity

       • Resource monitoring

       When coupled with reactors, beacons can create automated  pre-written  responses  to  infrastructure  and
       application issues. Reactors expand Salt with automated responses using pre-written remediation states.

       Reactors can be applied in a variety of scenarios:

       • Infrastructure scaling

       • Notifying administrators

       • Restarting failed applications

       • Automatic rollback

       When  both  beacons  and  reactors  are  used  together , you can create unique states customized to your
       specific needs.

   Salt runners and orchestration
       Salt runners are convenience applications executed with the salt-run command. Salt runners work similarly
       to Salt execution modules. However, they execute on the Salt Master instead of the Salt Minions.  A  Salt
       runner can be a simple client call or a complex application.

       Salt  provides  the  ability  to  orchestrate  system  administrative  tasks  throughout  the enterprise.
       Orchestration makes it possible to coordinate the activities of multiple machines from a  central  place.
       It  has  the  added  advantage of being able to control the sequence of when certain configuration events
       occur.  Orchestration states execute on the master using the state runner module.

INSTALLATION

       This section contains instructions to install Salt. If you are setting up your environment for the  first
       time,  you  should  install a Salt master on a dedicated management server or VM, and then install a Salt
       minion on each system that you want to manage using Salt. For now you don't  need  to  worry  about  your
       architecture,  you  can  easily  add  components  and  modify your configuration later without needing to
       reinstall anything.

       The general installation process is as follows:

       1. Install a Salt master using the instructions for your  platform  or  by  running  the  Salt  bootstrap
          script. If you use the bootstrap script, be sure to include the -M option to install the Salt master.

       2. Make sure that your Salt minions can find the Salt master.

       3. Install the Salt minion on each system that you want to manage.

       4. Accept the Salt minion keys after the Salt minion connects.

       After  this,  you  should  be  able  to  run  a  simple command and receive salt version returns from all
       connected Salt minions.

          salt '*' test.version

   Quick Install
       On most distributions, you can set up a Salt Minion with the Salt bootstrap.

   Platform-specific Installation Instructions
       These guides go into detail how to install Salt on a given platform.

   Arch Linux
   Installation
       Salt (stable) is currently available via the Arch Linux Official repositories.  There are currently  -git
       packages available in the Arch User repositories (AUR) as well.

   Stable Release
       Install Salt stable releases from the Arch Linux Official repositories as follows:

          pacman -S salt

   Tracking develop
       To  install  the  bleeding edge version of Salt (may include bugs!), use the -git package. Installing the
       -git package as follows:

          wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sa/salt-git/salt-git.tar.gz
          tar xf salt-git.tar.gz
          cd salt-git/
          makepkg -is

       NOTE:
          yaourt

          If a tool such as Yaourt is used, the dependencies will be gathered and built automatically.

          The command to install salt using the yaourt tool is:

              yaourt salt-git

   Post-installation tasks
       systemd

       Activate the Salt Master and/or Minion via systemctl as follows:

          systemctl enable salt-master.service
          systemctl enable salt-minion.service

       Start the Master

       Once you've completed all of these steps you're ready to start your Salt Master. You should  be  able  to
       start your Salt Master now using the command seen here:

          systemctl start salt-master

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Debian GNU/Linux / Raspbian
       Debian  GNU/Linux  distribution and some derivatives such as Raspbian already have included Salt packages
       to their repositories. However, current stable Debian release contains old outdated Salt releases. It  is
       recommended to use SaltStack repository for Debian as described below.

       Installation from official Debian and Raspbian repositories is described here.

   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Packages  for  Debian  10  (Buster)  and  Debian  9  (Stretch)  are  available  in the Official SaltStack
       repository.

       Instructions are at https://repo.saltproject.io/#debian.

       NOTE:
          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          • Archive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the Debian install  directions  can  be  used  by
          replacing  the  URL paths with the appropriate archive location. The repository configuration endpoint
          also needs to be adjusted to point to the archives. Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list

       WARNING:
          Regular security support for Debian 8 ended on June 30th 2018. As a result, 3000.3 and  2019.2.5  will
          be  the  last  Salt releases for which Debian 8 packages are created. Debian 8 also reached LTS EOL on
          June 30 2020.

          Regular security support for Debian 7 ended on April 25th 2016. As a result,  2016.3.1  and  2015.8.10
          will  be the last Salt releases for which Debian 7 packages are created. Debian 7 also reached LTS EOL
          on May 31 2018.

   Installation from the Debian / Raspbian Official Repository
       The Debian distributions contain mostly old Salt packages built by the Debian Salt Team. You can  install
       Salt components directly from Debian but it is recommended to use the instructions above for the packages
       from the official Salt repository.

       On  Jessie  there  is  an  option to install Salt minion from Stretch with python-tornado dependency from
       jessie-backports repositories.

       To install fresh release of Salt minion on Jessie:

       1. Add jessie-backports and stretch repositories:

          Debian:

             echo 'deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
             echo 'deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

          Raspbian:

             echo 'deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

       2. Make Jessie a default release:

             echo 'APT::Default-Release "jessie";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt

       3. Install Salt dependencies:

          Debian:

             apt-get update
             apt-get install python-zmq python-systemd/jessie-backports python-tornado/jessie-backports salt-common/stretch

          Raspbian:

             apt-get update
             apt-get install python-zmq python-tornado/stretch salt-common/stretch

       4. Install Salt minion package from Latest Debian Release:

             apt-get install salt-minion/stretch

   Install Packages
       Install the Salt master, minion or other packages from the repository with  the  apt-get  command.  These
       examples each install one of Salt components, but more than one package name may be given at a time:

       • apt-get install salt-apiapt-get install salt-cloudapt-get install salt-masterapt-get install salt-minionapt-get install salt-sshapt-get install salt-syndic

   Post-installation tasks
       Now, go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Arista EOS Salt minion installation guide
       The  Salt  minion  for Arista EOS is distributed as a SWIX extension and can be installed directly on the
       switch. The EOS network operating system is based on old Fedora distributions and the installation of the

   Fedora
       Beginning  with version 0.9.4, Salt has been available in the primary Fedora repositories and EPEL. It is
       installable using yum or dnf, depending on your version of Fedora.

       NOTE:
          Released versions of Salt starting  with  2015.5.2  through  2016.3.2  do  not  have  Fedora  packages
          available  though EPEL. To install a version of Salt within this release array, please use SaltStack's
          Bootstrap Script and use the git method of installing Salt using the version's associated release tag.

          Release 2016.3.3 and onward will have packaged versions available via EPEL.

       WARNING: Fedora 19 comes with systemd 204.  Systemd has known bugs fixed in later revisions that  prevent
       the  salt-master  from  starting  reliably or opening the network connections that it needs to.  It's not
       likely that a salt-master will start or run reliably on any distribution that uses systemd version 204 or
       earlier.  Running salt-minions should be OK.

   Installation
       Salt can be installed using yum and is available in the standard Fedora repositories.

   Stable Release
       Salt is packaged separately for the  minion  and  the  master.  It  is  necessary  only  to  install  the
       appropriate  package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one master and multiple
       minions.

          yum install salt-master
          yum install salt-minion

   Installing from updates-testing
       When a new Salt release is packaged, it is first admitted into  the  updates-testing  repository,  before
       being moved to the stable repo.

       To install from updates-testing, use the enablerepo argument for yum:

          yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install salt-master
          yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install salt-minion

   Installation Using pip
       Since Salt is on PyPI, it can be installed using pip, though most users prefer to install using a package
       manager.

       Installing from pip has a few additional requirements:

       • Install the group 'Development Tools', dnf groupinstall 'Development Tools'

       • Install the 'zeromq-devel' package if it fails on linking against that afterwards as well.

       A  pip  install  does  not make the init scripts or the /etc/salt directory, and you will need to provide
       your own systemd service unit.

       Installation from pip:

          pip install salt

       WARNING:
          If installing from pip (or from source using setup.py install), be advised that the yum-utils  package
          is  needed  for  Salt  to manage packages. Also, if the Python dependencies are not already installed,
          then you will need additional libraries/tools installed to build some of them.   More  information  on
          this can be found here.

   Post-installation tasks

   STEP 2: Choose Salt Minion Type
       Using the tables above, select the Salt Minion type.

       Choices:SSH Proxy Minion (See Salt Proxy Minion Configuration Section)

              • NX-API Proxy Minion (See Salt Proxy Minion Configuration Section)

              •

                GuestShell Native Minion (See GuestShell Salt Minion Installation Section)

                       • Some platforms support a native minion installed directly on the  NX-OS  device  inside
                         the GuestShell

                       • The GuestShell is a secure Linux container environment running CentOS

   STEP 3: Network Connectivity
       Ensure that IP reachability exists between the NX-OS Salt Minion device and the SaltStack Master.

       Note:  The management interface exists in a separate VRF context and requires additional configuration as
       shown.

       Example: Nexus CLI Configuration for connectivity via management interface

          config term
            vrf context management

   Salt Proxy Minion Configuration
       Here is a sample Proxy Minion directory structure

          saltmaster:/srv/pillar$tree
          .
          ├── n3k-proxy.sls
          ├── n7k-proxy.sls
          └── top.sls

       This displays a top sls file and two proxy minion sls files for a Nexus 3k and Nexus 7k device.

       Sample contents for the top.sls file.

          saltmaster:/srv/pillar$cat top.sls
          base:
            n3k-proxy:
              - n3k-proxy
            n7k-proxy:
              - n7k-proxy

   Proxy Minion Pillar Data
       Here is a sample Proxy Minion pillar data file.

       All of the data for both ssh and nxapi proxy minion types can be stored in the same pillar data file.  To
       choose ssh or nxapi, simply set the connection: parameter accordingly.

          saltmaster:/srv/pillar$cat n7k-proxy.sls
          proxy:
            proxytype: nxos

            # Specify ssh or nxapi connection type (default is ssh)
            #connection: ssh
            connection: nxapi

            # Parameters Common to both SSH and NX-API
            host: n7k.example.com
            username: admin
            password: password

            # SSH Parameters
            prompt_name: n7k
            ssh_args: '-o PubkeyAuthentication=no'

   GuestShell Salt Minion Installation
       This section is only required when running the SaltStack Minion from the guestshell.

   STEP 1a: Enable the Guestshell on low footprint N3ks
       NOTE: Skip down to STEP 1b if the target system is not a low footprint N3k.

       Nexus 3xxx switches with 4 GB RAM and 1.6 GB bootflash are advised to use compacted images to reduce  the
       storage resources consumed by the image. As part of the compaction process, the guestshell.ova is removed
       from  the  system  image.   To  make  use  of  the guestshell on these systems, the guestshell.ova may be
       downloaded and used to install the guestshell.

       Guestshell OVA Download Link

       Starting in release 9.2(1) and onward, the .ova file can be copied to the volatile: directory which frees
       up more space on bootflash:.

       Copy the guestshell.ova file to volatile: if supported, otherwise copy it to bootflash:

          n3xxx# copy scp://admin@1.2.3.4/guestshell.ova volatile: vrf management
          guestshell.ova 100% 55MB 10.9MB/s 00:05
          Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)...
          Copy complete.

       Use the guestshell enable command to install and enable guestshell.

          n3xxx# guestshell enable package volatile:guestshell.ova

   STEP 1b: Enable the Guestshell
       The guestshell container environment is enabled by default on most platforms; however, the  default  disk
       and  memory  resources  allotted  to  guestshell  are  typically  too  small  to support SaltStack Minion
       requirements. The resource limits may be increased with the NX-OS CLI guestshell resize commands as shown
       below.

   Resource Requirements
                                              ┌──────────┬─────────────┐
                                              │ Resource │ Recommended │
                                              ├──────────┼─────────────┤
                                              │ Disk     │ 1000 MB     │
                                              ├──────────┼─────────────┤
                                              │ Memory   │ 350 MB      │
                                              └──────────┴─────────────┘

       show guestshell detail displays the current resource limits:

          n3k# show guestshell detail
          Virtual service guestshell+ detail
            State                 : Activated
          ...
            Resource reservation
            Disk                : 150 MB
            Memory              : 128 MB

       guestshell resize rootfs sets disk size limits while guestshell resize memory  sets  memory  limits.  The
       resize  commands  do  not  take  effect until after the guestshell container is (re)started by guestshell
       reboot or guestshell enable.

       Example. Allocate resources for guestshell by setting new limits to 1000MB disk and 350MB memory.

          n3k# guestshell resize rootfs 1000
          n3k# guestshell resize memory 350

          n3k# guestshell reboot
          Are you sure you want to reboot the guest shell? (y/n) [n] y

   STEP 2: Set Up Guestshell Network
       The guestshell is an independent CentOS container that does not inherit settings from NX-OS.

       • Use guestshell to enter the guestshell environment, then become root.

       • Optional: Use chvrf to specify a vrf namespace; e.g. sudo chvrf management

          n3k#  guestshell

          [guestshell@guestshell ~]$ sudo su -          # Optional: sudo chvrf management
          [root@guestshell guestshell]#

       OPTIONAL: Add DNS Configuration

          [root@guestshell guestshell]#  cat >> /etc/resolv.conf << EOF
          nameserver 10.0.0.202
          domain mycompany.com
          EOF

       OPTIONAL: Define proxy  server  variables  if  needed  to  allow  network  access  to  SaltStack  package
       repositories

          export http_proxy=http://proxy.yourdomain.com:<port>
          export https_proxy=https://proxy.yourdomain.com:<port>

   STEP 3: Install SaltStack Minion
       Install the python3 and python3-pip packages.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# yum install python3 python3-pip

       OPTIONAL: Upgrade the pip installer
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# pip3 install --upgrade pip

       Install the certifi python package.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# pip3 install certifi

       The  most  current  information on installing the SaltStack Minion in a CentOS 7 environment can be found
       here

       Information from the install guide is provided here for convenience.

       Run the following commands to install the SaltStack repository and key:

          [root@guestshell guestshell]# rpm --import https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/7/x86_64/latest/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# curl -fsSL https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/7/x86_64/latest.repo | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/salt.repo

       Run the following command to force yum to revalidate the cache for each repository.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# yum clean expire-cache

       Install the Salt Minion.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# yum install salt-minion

   STEP 4: Configure SaltStack Minion
       Make the following changes to the /etc/salt/minion configuration file in the NX-OS GuestShell.

       Change the master: directive to point to the SaltStack Master.

          - #master: salt
          + master: saltmaster.example.com

       Change the id: directive to easily identify the minion running in the GuestShell.

       Example:

          - #id: salt
          + id: n3k-guestshell-minion

       Start the Minion in the Guestshell and accept the key on the SaltStack Master.
          [root@guestshell ~]# systemctl start salt-minion

          saltmaster: salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          n3k-guestshell-minion
          Rejected Keys:

          saltmaster: salt-key -A
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          n3k-guestshell-minion
          Proceed? [n/Y] Y
          Key for minion n3k-guestshell-minion accepted.

       Ping the SaltStack Minion running in the Guestshell.

          saltmaster: salt n3k-guestshell-minion nxos.ping
          n3k-guestshell-minion:
            True

   GuestShell Salt Minion Persistence
       This section documents SaltStack Minion persistence in the guestshell  after  system  restarts  and  high
       availability switchovers.

       The  guestshell container does not automatically sync filesystem changes from the active processor to the
       standby processor. This means that SaltStack Minion installation files and related file changes will  not
       be present on the standby until they are manually synced with the following NX-OS exec command:

       guestshell sync

       The  guestshell  environment uses systemd for service management. The SaltStack Minion provides a generic
       systemd script when installed, but a slight modification as shown below is needed for nodes that run Salt
       in the management (or other vrf) namespace:

          --- /usr/lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service.old
          +++ /usr/lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service
          [Unit]
          Description=The Salt Minion
          Documentation=man:salt-minion(1) file:///usr/share/doc/salt/html/contents.html
          https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/contents.html
          After=network.target salt-master.service

          [Service]
          KillMode=process
          Type=notify
          NotifyAccess=all
          LimitNOFILE=8192

          - ExecStart=/usr/bin/salt-minion
          + ExecStart=/bin/nsenter --net=/var/run/netns/management -- /usr/bin/salt-minion

          [Install]
          WantedBy=multi-user.target

       Change the pidfile: directive to point to the /run tmpfs location in the GuestShell.

          - #pidfile: /var/run/salt-minion.pid
          + pidfile: /run/salt-minion.pid

       Next, enable the SaltStack Minion systemd service (the enable command adds it to systemd for autostarting
       on the next boot) and optionally start it now:

          systemctl enable salt-minion
          systemctl start salt-minion

   OpenBSD
       Salt was added to the OpenBSD ports tree on Aug 10th 2013.  It has been tested on OpenBSD 5.5 onwards.

       Salt is dependent on the following additional ports. These will  be  installed  as  dependencies  of  the
       sysutils/salt port:

          devel/py3-progressbar
          net/py3-msgpack
          net/py3-zmq
          security/py3-Cryptodome
          security/py3-M2Crypto
          sysutils/py3-distro
          textproc/py3-MarkupSafe
          textproc/py3-yaml
          www/py3-jinja2
          www/py3-requests

   Installation
       To install Salt from the OpenBSD package repo, use the command:

          pkg_add salt

   Post-installation tasks
       Master

       To have the Master start automatically at boot time:

          rcctl enable salt_master

       To start the Master:

          rcctl start salt_master

       Minion

       To have the Minion start automatically at boot time:

          rcctl enable salt_minion

       To start the Minion:

          rcctl start salt_minion

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   macOS
   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Latest stable build from the selected branch:

       The output of md5 <salt pkg> should match the contents of the corresponding md5 file.

       NOTE:Earlier builds from supported branchesArchived builds from unsupported branches

   Installation from Homebrew
          brew install saltstack

       It should be noted that Homebrew explicitly discourages the use of sudo:
          Homebrew  is  designed  to work without using sudo. You can decide to use it but we strongly recommend
          not to do so. If you have used sudo and run into a bug then it is likely to be the cause. Please don’t
          file a bug report unless you can reproduce it after reinstalling Homebrew from scratch  without  using
          sudo

   Installation from MacPorts
       Macports  isolates  its dependencies from the OS, and installs salt in /opt/local by default, with config
       files under /opt/local/etc/salt. For best results, add /opt/local/bin to your PATH.

          sudo port install salt

       Variants allow selection of python version used to run salt, defaulting to python27, but also  supporting
       python34, python35, and python36. To install salt with Python 3.6, use the python36 variant, for example:

          sudo port install salt @python36

       Startup  items (for master, minion, and rest-cherrypy API gateway, respectively) are installed by subport
       targets. These will register launchd LaunchDaemons as org.macports.salt-minion, for example,  to  trigger
       automatic  startup  of the salt-minion through launchd. LaunchDaemons for salt can be started and stopped
       without reboot using the macprots load and unload commands.

          sudo port install salt-master salt-minion salt-api
          sudo port load salt-master salt-minion salt-api

   Installation from Pip
       When only using the macOS system's pip, install this way:

          sudo pip install salt

   Salt-Master Customizations
       NOTE:
          Salt master on macOS is not tested or supported by SaltStack. See SaltStack Platform Support for  more
          information.

       To run salt-master on macOS, sudo add this configuration option to the /etc/salt/master file:

          max_open_files: 8192

       On versions previous to macOS 10.10 (Yosemite), increase the root user maxfiles limit:

          sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 4096 8192

       NOTE:
          On  macOS  10.10  (Yosemite)  and  higher,  maxfiles  should  not  be adjusted. The default limits are
          sufficient in all but the most extreme scenarios.  Overriding these values with the setting below will
          cause system instability!

       Now the salt-master should run without errors:

          sudo salt-master --log-level=all

   Post-installation tasks
       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   RHEL / CentOS / Scientific Linux / Amazon Linux / Oracle Linux
       Salt should work properly with all mainstream derivatives of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including  CentOS,
       Scientific Linux, Oracle Linux, and Amazon Linux.  Report any bugs or issues on the issue tracker.

   Installation from the Official Salt Project Repository
       Packages for Redhat, CentOS, and Amazon Linux are available in the Salt Project Repository.

       • Red Hat / CentOSAmazon Linux

       NOTE:
          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          Red Hat / CentOSArchive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the RHEL/CentOS install directions can be used by
          replacing  the  URL paths with the appropriate archive location. The repository configuration endpoint
          also needs to be adjusted to point to the archives. Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/salt*.repo

          Amazon LinuxArchive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the Amazon install  directions  can  be  used  by
          replacing  the  URL paths with the appropriate archive location. The repository configuration endpoint
          also needs to be adjusted to point to the archives. Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/salt*.repo

       NOTE:
          As of 2015.8.0, EPEL repository is no longer required for installing on  RHEL  systems.  Salt  Project
          repository provides all needed dependencies.

       WARNING:
          If  installing  on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 with disabled (not subscribed on) 'RHEL Server Releases'
          or 'RHEL Server Optional Channel' repositories, append CentOS 7  GPG  key  URL  to  Salt  Project  yum
          repository configuration to install required base packages:

              [saltstack-repo]
              name=Salt repo for Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever
              baseurl=https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/latest

              gpgcheck=1
              gpgkey=https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/latest/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub
                     https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/latest/base/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7

       NOTE:
          systemd  and  systemd-python  are  required  by  Salt,  but  are  not installed by the Red Hat 7 @base
          installation or by the Salt installation. These dependencies might need to be installed before Salt.

   Installation Using pip
       Since Salt is on PyPI, it can be installed using pip, though most  users  prefer  to  install  using  RPM
       packages (which can be installed by following the directions in the Salt Repository).

       Installing from pip has a few additional requirements:

       • Install the group 'Development Tools', yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

       • Install the 'zeromq-devel' package if it fails on linking against that afterwards as well.

       A  pip  install  does  not make the init scripts or the /etc/salt directory, and you will need to provide
       your own systemd service unit.

       Installation from pip:

          pip install salt

       WARNING:
          If installing from pip (or from source using setup.py install), be advised that the yum-utils  package
          is  needed  for  Salt  to manage packages. Also, if the Python dependencies are not already installed,
          then you will need additional libraries/tools installed to build some of them.   More  information  on
          this can be found here.

   ZeroMQ 4
       We  recommend  using ZeroMQ 4 where available. Salt Project provides ZeroMQ 4.3.1 and pyzmq 17.0.0 in the
       Salt Repository.

       If this repository is added before Salt is installed, then installing either salt-master  or  salt-minion
       will  automatically  pull  in  ZeroMQ  4.3.1,  and  additional  steps  to  upgrade  ZeroMQ  and pyzmq are
       unnecessary.

   Package Management
       Salt's interface to yum makes heavy use of the repoquery utility, from the yum-utils package. If salt has
       been installed using pip, or a host is  being  managed  using  salt-ssh,  then  as  of  version  2014.7.0
       yum-utils will be installed automatically to satisfy this dependency.

   Post-installation tasks
   Master
       To have the Master start automatically at boot time:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl enable salt-master.service

       To start the Master:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl start salt-master.service

   Minion
       To have the Minion start automatically at boot time:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl enable salt-minion.service

       To start the Minion:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl start salt-minion.service

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Solaris
       Salt is known to work on Solaris but community packages are unmaintained.

       It is possible to install Salt on Solaris by using setuptools.

       For example, to install the develop version of salt:

          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt
          cd salt
          sudo python setup.py install --force

       NOTE:
          SaltStack does offer commercial support for Solaris which includes packages.  Packages can be found on
          the  Downloads  page  of  the  Enterprise  Installation  Guide  and  are downloadable with a SaltStack
          Enterprise account.

   Ubuntu
   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Packages for Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic), and Ubuntu 16 (Xenial)  are  available  in  the
       SaltStack repository.

       Instructions are at https://repo.saltproject.io/#ubuntu.

       NOTE:
          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          • Archive 1Archive 2

          If  looking  to  use  archives,  the same directions from the Ubuntu install directions can be used by
          replacing the URL paths with the appropriate archive location. The repository  configuration  endpoint
          also needs to be adjusted to point to the archives. Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list

   Install Packages
       Install  the  Salt  master,  minion or other packages from the repository with the apt-get command. These
       examples each install one of Salt components, but more than one package name may be given at a time:

       • apt-get install salt-apiapt-get install salt-cloudapt-get install salt-masterapt-get install salt-minionapt-get install salt-sshapt-get install salt-syndic

   Post-installation tasks
       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Windows
       Salt has full support for running the Salt minion on Windows. You must connect Windows Salt minions to  a
       Salt master on a supported operating system to control your Salt Minions.

       Many  of  the  standard  Salt  modules  have  been  ported to work on Windows and many of the Salt States
       currently work on Windows as well.

   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Latest stable build from the selected branch:

       The output of md5sum <salt minion exe> should match the contents of the corresponding md5 file.

       There are installers available for Python 3. Starting with Salt 3001, only Python 3 builds of the Windows
       Salt Minion will be built. Python 2 builds exist for earlier Salt Minion versions.

       NOTE:Earlier builds from supported branches

          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          • Archive 1Archive 2

       NOTE:
          The installation executable installs dependencies that the Salt minion requires.

       The 64bit and 32bit installers have been tested on Windows 8.1,  Windows  Server  2012  R2,  Windows  10,
       Windows  Server  2016,  and Windows Server 2019. 32bit installers have only been tested on 64bit systems.
       Please file a bug report on our GitHub repo if issues for other platforms are found.

       The installer will detect previous installations of Salt and ask  if  you  would  like  to  remove  them.
       Clicking OK will remove the Salt binaries and related files but leave any existing config, cache, and PKI
       information.

   Salt Minion Installation
       If  the  system  is missing the appropriate version of the Visual C++ Redistributable (vcredist) the user
       will be prompted to install it. Click OK to install the vcredist. Click Cancel to abort the  installation
       without making modifications to the system.

       If Salt is already installed on the system the user will be prompted to remove the previous installation.
       Click  OK  to  uninstall Salt without removing the configuration, PKI information, or cached files. Click
       Cancel to abort the installation before making any modifications to the system.

       After the Welcome and the License Agreement, the installer asks for two bits of information to  configure
       the  minion;  the  master hostname and the minion name.  The installer will update the minion config with
       these options.

       If the installer finds an existing minion config file, these fields will be populated  with  values  from
       the  existing  config,  but  they  will be grayed out.  There will also be a checkbox to use the existing
       config. If you continue, the existing config will be used. If the checkbox is unchecked,  default  values
       are  displayed  and  can  be  changed.  If you continue, the existing config file in c:\salt\conf will be
       removed along with the c:\salt\conf\minion.d directory. The values entered will be used with the  default
       config.

       The final page allows you to start the minion service and optionally change its startup type. By default,
       the  minion  is  set  to  Automatic. You can change the minion start type to Automatic (Delayed Start) by
       checking the 'Delayed Start' checkbox.

       NOTE:
          Highstates that require a reboot may fail after reboot because salt  continues  the  highstate  before
          Windows  has  finished  the  booting  process.   This  can  be  fixed  by changing the startup type to
          'Automatic (Delayed Start)'. The drawback  is  that  it  may  increase  the  time  it  takes  for  the
          'salt-minion' service to actually start.

       The  salt-minion  service will appear in the Windows Service Manager and can be managed there or from the
       command line like any other Windows service.

          sc start salt-minion
          net start salt-minion

   Installation Prerequisites
       Most Salt functionality should work just fine  right  out  of  the  box.  A  few  Salt  modules  rely  on
       PowerShell.  The minimum version of PowerShell required for Salt is version 3. If you intend to work with
       DSC then Powershell version 5 is the minimum.

   Silent Installer Options
       The installer can be run silently by providing the /S option at the  command  line.  The  installer  also
       accepts the following options for configuring the Salt Minion silently:

       NOTE:
          /start-service has been deprecated but will continue to function as expected for the time being.

       NOTE:
          /default-config  and  /custom-config=  will backup an existing config if found. A timestamp and a .bak
          extension will be added. That includes the minion file and the minion.d directory.

       Here are some examples of using the silent installer:

          # Install the Salt Minion
          # Configure the minion and start the service

          Salt-Minion-3001-Py3-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /master=yoursaltmaster /minion-name=yourminionname

   Building and Developing on Windows
       This  document  will explain how to set up a development environment for Salt on Windows. The development
       environment allows you to work with the source code to customize or fix bugs. It will also allow  you  to
       build your own installation.

       There  are  several scripts to automate creating a Windows installer as well as setting up an environment
       that facilitates developing and troubleshooting Salt code. They are located in the pkg\windows  directory
       in the Salt repo (here).

   Scripts:

                             └─────────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────┘

       NOTE:
          The build.bat and build_pkg.bat scripts both accept a parameter to specify the version  of  Salt  that
          will  be  displayed in the Windows installer.  If no version is passed, the version will be determined
          using git.

          Both scripts also accept an additional parameter to specify the version of Python to use. The  default
          is 2.

   Prerequisite Software
       The only prerequisite is Git for Windows.

   Create a Build Environment
   1. Working Directory
       Create  a  Salt-Dev directory on the root of C:. This will be our working directory. Navigate to Salt-Dev
       and clone the Salt repo from GitHub.

       Open a command line and type:

          cd \
          md Salt-Dev
          cd Salt-Dev
          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       Go into the salt directory and checkout the version of salt to work with (2016.3 or higher).

          cd salt
          git checkout 2017.7.2

   2. Setup the Python Environment
       Navigate to the pkg\windows directory and execute the build_env.ps1 PowerShell script.

          cd pkg\windows
          powershell -file build_env_2.ps1

       NOTE:
          You can also do this from Explorer by navigating to the  pkg\windows  directory,  right  clicking  the
          build_env_2.ps1 powershell script and selecting Run with PowerShell

       This will download and install Python 2 with all the dependencies needed to develop and build Salt.

       NOTE:
          If  you  get  an  error or the script fails to run you may need to change the execution policy. Open a
          powershell window and type the following command:

          Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

   3. Salt in Editable Mode
       Editable mode allows you to more easily modify and test the source code. For more information see the Pip
       documentation.

       Navigate to the root of the salt directory and install Salt in editable mode with pip

          cd \Salt-Dev\salt
          pip install -e .

       NOTE:
          The . is important

       NOTE:
          If pip is not recognized, you may need to restart your shell to get the updated path

       NOTE:
          If pip is still not recognized make sure that the Python Scripts  folder  is  in  the  System  %PATH%.
          (C:\Python2\Scripts)

   4. Setup Salt Configuration
       Salt  requires  a minion configuration file and a few other directories. The default config file is named
       minion located in C:\salt\conf. The easiest  way  to  set  this  up  is  to  copy  the  contents  of  the
       salt\pkg\windows\buildenv directory to C:\salt.

          cd \
          md salt
          xcopy /s /e \Salt-Dev\salt\pkg\windows\buildenv\* \salt\

       Now  go  into the C:\salt\conf directory and edit the minion config file named minion (no extension). You
       need to configure the master and id parameters in this file. Edit the following lines:

          master: <ip or name of your master>
          id: <name of your minion>

   Create a Windows Installer
       To create a Windows installer, follow steps 1 and 2 from Create a Build Environment above.  Then  proceed
       to 3 below:

   3. Install Salt
       To  create  the  installer  for Window we install Salt using Python instead of pip.  Navigate to the root
       salt directory and install Salt.

          cd \Salt-Dev\salt
          python setup.py install

   4. Create the Windows Installer
       Navigate to the pkg\windows directory and run the build_pkg.bat with the build version (2017.7.2) and the
       Python version as parameters.

          cd pkg\windows
          build_pkg.bat 2017.7.2 2
                        ^^^^^^^^ ^
                            |    |
          # build version --     |
          # python version ------

       NOTE:
          If no version is passed, the build_pkg.bat will guess the version number  using  git.  If  the  python
          version is not passed, the default is 2.

   Creating a Windows Installer: Alternate Method (Easier)
       Clone the Salt repo from GitHub into the directory of your choice. We're going to use Salt-Dev.

          cd \
          md Salt-Dev
          cd Salt-Dev
          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       Go into the salt directory and checkout the version of Salt you want to build.

          cd salt
          git checkout 2017.7.2

       Then navigate to pkg\windows and run the build.bat script with the version you're building.

          cd pkg\windows
          build.bat 2017.7.2 3
                    ^^^^^^^^ ^
                        |    |
          # build version    |
          # python version --

       This will install everything needed to build a Windows installer for Salt using Python 3. The binary will
       be in the salt\pkg\windows\installer directory.

   Testing the Salt minion
       1. Create the directory C:\salt (if it doesn't exist already)

       2.

          Copy the example conf and var directories from
                 pkg\windows\buildenv into C:\salt

       3. Edit C:\salt\conf\minion

                 master: ipaddress or hostname of your salt-master

       4. Start the salt-minion

                 cd C:\Python27\Scripts
                 python salt-minion -l debug

       5. On the salt-master accept the new minion's key

                 sudo salt-key -A

             This  accepts  all unaccepted keys. If you're concerned about security just accept the key for this
             specific minion.

       6. Test that your minion is responding
             On the salt-master run:

                 sudo salt '*' test.version

       You should get the following response: {'your minion hostname': True}

   Packages Management Under Windows 2003
       Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP have both reached End  of  Support.  Though  Salt  is  not  officially
       supported on operating systems that are EoL, some functionality may continue to work.

       On  Windows Server 2003, you need to install optional component "WMI Windows Installer Provider" to get a
       full list of installed packages. If  you  don't  have  this,  salt-minion  can't  report  some  installed
       software.

   SUSE
   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       The SaltStack Repository has packages available for the following platforms:

       • SLES 11 SP4

       • SLES 12 / SLES 12 SP1 through SP4

       • SLES 15

       • openSUSE Leap 15.0, 15.1, 42.2, 42.3

       • openSUSE Tumbleweed

       Instructions are at https://repo.saltproject.io/#suse.

   Installation from the SUSE Repository
       Since  openSUSE  13.2,  Salt  has  been  available in the primary repositories.  With the release of SUSE
       manager 3 a new repository setup has been created.  The new  repo  will  by  systemsmanagement:saltstack,
       which  is  the source for newer stable packages. For backward compatibility a linkpackage will be created
       to  the  old  devel:language:python  repo.   All  development  of  suse  packages   will   be   done   in
       systemsmanagement:saltstack:testing.   This  will  ensure  that  salt  will be in mainline suse repo's, a
       stable release repo and a testing repo for further enhancements.

   Installation
       Salt can be installed using zypper and is available in the standard openSUSE/SLES repositories.

   Stable Release
       Salt is packaged separately for the  minion  and  the  master.  It  is  necessary  only  to  install  the
       appropriate  package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one master and multiple
       minions.

          zypper install salt-master
          zypper install salt-minion

   Post-installation tasks openSUSE

   Unstable Release
   openSUSE
       For openSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed systems, run the following as root:

          zypper install salt salt-minion salt-master

   SUSE Linux Enterprise
       For SLES 15 and above run the following as root:

          zypper install salt salt-minion salt-master

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Initial Configuration
   Configuring Salt
       Salt configuration is very  simple.  The  default  configuration  for  the  master  will  work  for  most
       installations  and  the  only requirement for setting up a minion is to set the location of the master in
       the minion configuration file.

       The configuration files will be installed to /etc/salt and are named  after  the  respective  components,
       /etc/salt/master, and /etc/salt/minion.

   Master Configuration
       By  default the Salt master listens on ports 4505 and 4506 on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). To bind Salt to a
       specific  IP,  redefine  the  "interface"  directive  in  the  master   configuration   file,   typically
       /etc/salt/master, as follows:

          - #interface: 0.0.0.0
          + interface: 10.0.0.1

       After  updating  the configuration file, restart the Salt master.  See the master configuration reference
       for more details about other configurable options.

   Minion Configuration
       Although there are many Salt Minion configuration options, configuring a Salt Minion is very  simple.  By
       default  a  Salt Minion will try to connect to the DNS name "salt"; if the Minion is able to resolve that
       name correctly, no configuration is needed.

       If the DNS name "salt" does not resolve to point to the correct location  of  the  Master,  redefine  the
       "master" directive in the minion configuration file, typically /etc/salt/minion, as follows:

          - #master: salt
          + master: 10.0.0.1

       After  updating  the configuration file, restart the Salt minion.  See the minion configuration reference
       for more details about other configurable options.

   Proxy Minion Configuration
       A proxy minion emulates the behaviour of a regular minion and inherits their options.

       Similarly, the configuration file is /etc/salt/proxy and the proxy tries  to  connect  to  the  DNS  name
       "salt".

       In  addition  to  the  regular  minion  options,  there are several proxy-specific - see the proxy minion
       configuration reference.

   Running Salt
       1. Start the master in the foreground (to daemonize the process, pass the -d flag):

             salt-master

       2. Start the minion in the foreground (to daemonize the process, pass the -d flag):

             salt-minion

          Having trouble?

                 The simplest way to troubleshoot Salt is to run the master and minion in  the  foreground  with
                 log level set to debug:

              salt-master --log-level=debug

          For information on salt's logging system please see the logging document.

          Run as an unprivileged (non-root) user

                 To run Salt as another user, set the user parameter in the master config file.

                 Additionally,  ownership,  and  permissions  need to be set such that the desired user can read
                 from and write to the following directories (and their subdirectories, where applicable):

          • /etc/salt

          • /var/cache/salt

          • /var/log/salt

          • /var/run/salt

          More information about running salt as a non-privileged user can be found here.

       There is also a full troubleshooting guide available.

   Key Identity
       Salt provides commands to validate the identity of your Salt master and Salt minions before  the  initial
       key  exchange. Validating key identity helps avoid inadvertently connecting to the wrong Salt master, and
       helps prevent a potential MiTM attack when establishing the initial connection.

   Master Key Fingerprint
       Print the master key fingerprint by running the following command on the Salt master:

          salt-key -F master

       Copy the master.pub fingerprint from the Local Keys section, and then set this value as the master_finger
       in the minion configuration file. Save the configuration file and then restart the Salt minion.

   Minion Key Fingerprint
       Run the following command on each Salt minion to view the minion key fingerprint:

          salt-call --local key.finger

       Compare this value to the value that is displayed when you run the salt-key --finger <MINION_ID>  command
       on the Salt master.

   Key Management
       Salt  uses  AES encryption for all communication between the Master and the Minion. This ensures that the
       commands sent to the Minions cannot be tampered with, and that communication between Master and Minion is
       authenticated through trusted, accepted keys.

       Before commands can be sent to a Minion, its key must be accepted on the Master. Run the salt-key command
       to list the keys known to the Salt Master:

          [root@master ~]# salt-key -L
          Unaccepted Keys:
          alpha
          bravo
          charlie
          delta
          Accepted Keys:

       This example shows that the Salt Master is aware of four Minions, but none of the keys has been accepted.
       To accept the keys and allow the Minions to be controlled by the Master, again use the salt-key command:

          [root@master ~]# salt-key -A
          [root@master ~]# salt-key -L
          Unaccepted Keys:
          Accepted Keys:
          alpha
          bravo
          charlie
          delta

       The salt-key command allows for signing keys individually  or  in  bulk.  The  example  above,  using  -A
       bulk-accepts  all  pending  keys.  To  accept  keys individually use the lowercase of the same option, -a
       keyname.

       SEE ALSO:
          salt-key manpage

   Sending Commands
       Communication between the Master and a Minion may be verified by running the test.version command:

          [root@master ~]# salt alpha test.version
          alpha:
              2018.3.4

       Communication between the Master and all Minions may be tested in a similar way:

          [root@master ~]# salt '*' test.version
          alpha:
              2018.3.4
          bravo:
              2018.3.4
          charlie:
              2018.3.4
          delta:
              2018.3.4

       Each of the Minions should send a 2018.3.4 response as shown above, or any other salt version installed.

   What's Next?
       Understanding targeting is important. From there, depending on the way you wish to use Salt,  you  should
       also proceed to learn about Remote Execution and Configuration Management.

   Additional Installation Guides
   Salt Bootstrap
       The  Salt  Bootstrap  Script  allows  a  user to install the Salt Minion or Master on a variety of system
       distributions and versions.

       The Salt Bootstrap Script is a shell script is known as bootstrap-salt.sh.  It runs through a  series  of
       checks  to  determine the operating system type and version. It then installs the Salt binaries using the
       appropriate methods.

       The Salt Bootstrap Script installs the minimum number of packages required to run Salt. This  means  that
       in  the  event  you  run  the bootstrap to install via package, Git will not be installed. Installing the
       minimum number of packages helps ensure the script stays as lightweight as possible,  assuming  the  user
       will install any other required packages after the Salt binaries are present on the system.

       The  Salt Bootstrap Script is maintained in a separate repo from Salt, complete with its own issues, pull
       requests, contributing guidelines, release protocol, etc.

       To learn more, please see the Salt Bootstrap repo links:

       • Salt Bootstrap repoREADME: includes supported operating systems, example usage, and more.

       • Contributing GuidelinesRelease Process

       NOTE:
          The Salt Bootstrap script can be found in the Salt repo under the  salt/cloud/deploy/bootstrap-salt.sh
          path.  Any changes to this file will be overwritten! Bug fixes and feature additions must be submitted
          via the Salt Bootstrap repo.  Please  see  the  Salt  Bootstrap  Script's  Release  Process  for  more
          information.

   Opening the Firewall up for Salt
       The  Salt  master  communicates  with  the  minions  using  an  AES-encrypted  ZeroMQ  connection.  These
       communications are done over TCP ports 4505 and 4506, which need to be accessible  on  the  master  only.
       This document outlines suggested firewall rules for allowing these incoming connections to the master.

       NOTE:
          No firewall configuration needs to be done on Salt minions. These changes refer to the master only.

   Fedora 18 and beyond / RHEL 7 / CentOS 7
       Starting  with Fedora 18 FirewallD is the tool that is used to dynamically manage the firewall rules on a
       host. It has support for IPv4/6 settings and the separation of runtime and permanent  configurations.  To
       interact with FirewallD use the command line client firewall-cmd.

       firewall-cmd example:

          firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=<zone> --add-port=4505-4506/tcp

       A  network  zone  defines  the  security  level  of  trust  for  the  network.  The user should choose an
       appropriate zone value for their setup.  Possible values include: drop,  block,  public,  external,  dmz,
       work, home, internal, trusted.

       Don't forget to reload after you made your changes.

          firewall-cmd --reload

   RHEL 6 / CentOS 6
       The  lokkit  command  packaged  with  some Linux distributions makes opening iptables firewall ports very
       simple via the command line. Just be careful to not lock out access to the server by neglecting  to  open
       the ssh port.

       lokkit example:

          lokkit -p 22:tcp -p 4505:tcp -p 4506:tcp

       The system-config-firewall-tui command provides a text-based interface to modifying the firewall.

       system-config-firewall-tui:

          system-config-firewall-tui

   openSUSE
       Salt installs firewall rules in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/salt.  Enable with:

          SuSEfirewall2 open
          SuSEfirewall2 start

       If  you  have  an  older  package  of  Salt  where  the  above  configuration  file  is not included, the
       SuSEfirewall2 command makes opening iptables firewall ports very simple via the command line.

       SuSEfirewall example:

          SuSEfirewall2 open EXT TCP 4505
          SuSEfirewall2 open EXT TCP 4506

       The firewall module in YaST2 provides a text-based interface to modifying the firewall.

       YaST2:

   Windows
       Windows Firewall is the default component of Microsoft  Windows  that  provides  firewalling  and  packet
       filtering.  There  are  many  3rd party firewalls available for Windows, some of which use rules from the
       Windows Firewall. If you are experiencing problems see the vendor's specific  documentation  for  opening
       the required ports.

       The Windows Firewall can be configured using the Windows Interface or from the command line.

       Windows Firewall (interface):

       1. Open the Windows Firewall Interface by typing wf.msc at the command prompt or in a run dialog (Windows
          Key + R)

       2. Navigate to Inbound Rules in the console tree

       3. Add a new rule by clicking New Rule... in the Actions area

       4. Change the Rule Type to Port. Click Next

       5. Set the Protocol to TCP and specify local ports 4505-4506. Click Next

       6. Set the Action to Allow the connection. Click Next

       7. Apply the rule to Domain, Private, and Public. Click Next

       8. Give the new rule a Name, ie: Salt. You may also add a description. Click Finish

       Windows Firewall (command line):

       The  Windows Firewall rule can be created by issuing a single command. Run the following command from the
       command line or a run prompt:

          netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Salt" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=4505-4506

   iptables
       Different Linux distributions store their iptables (also known as netfilter) rules in  different  places,
       which  makes  it  difficult  to  standardize firewall documentation. Included are some of the more common
       locations, but your mileage may vary.

       Fedora / RHEL / CentOS:

          /etc/sysconfig/iptables

       Arch Linux:

          /etc/iptables/iptables.rules

       Debian

       Follow these instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/iptables

       Once you've found your firewall rules, you'll need to add the below line to allow traffic on tcp/4505 and
       tcp/4506:

          -A INPUT -m state --state new -m tcp -p tcp --dport 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT

       Ubuntu

       Salt installs firewall rules in /etc/ufw/applications.d/salt.ufw. Enable with:

          ufw allow salt

   pf.conf
       The BSD-family of operating systems uses packet filter (pf). The following example describes the addition
       to pf.conf needed to access the Salt master.

          pass in on $int_if proto tcp from any to $int_if port 4505:4506

       Once this addition has been made to the pf.conf the rules will need to be  reloaded.  This  can  be  done
       using the pfctl command.

          pfctl -vf /etc/pf.conf

   Whitelist communication to Master
       There  are  situations where you want to selectively allow Minion traffic from specific hosts or networks
       into your Salt Master. The first scenario which comes to mind is to  prevent  unwanted  traffic  to  your
       Master  out  of  security  concerns,  but  another  scenario  is to handle Minion upgrades when there are
       backwards incompatible changes between the installed Salt versions in your environment.

       Here is an example Linux iptables ruleset to be set on the Master:

          # Allow Minions from these networks
          -I INPUT -s 10.1.2.0/24 -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT
          -I INPUT -s 10.1.3.0/24 -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT
          # Allow Salt to communicate with Master on the loopback interface
          -A INPUT -i lo -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT
          # Reject everything else
          -A INPUT -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j REJECT

       NOTE:
          The important thing to note here is that the salt command needs  to  communicate  with  the  listening
          network  socket  of  salt-master on the loopback interface. Without this you will see no outgoing Salt
          traffic from the master, even for a simple salt  '*'  test.version,  because  the  salt  client  never
          reached the salt-master to tell it to carry out the execution.

   Preseed Minion with Accepted Key
       In  some  situations,  it is not convenient to wait for a minion to start before accepting its key on the
       master. For instance, you may want the minion to bootstrap itself as soon as it  comes  online.  You  may
       also want to let your developers provision new development machines on the fly.

       SEE ALSO:
          Many ways to preseed minion keys

          Salt  has  other  ways to generate and pre-accept minion keys in addition to the manual steps outlined
          below.

          salt-cloud performs these same steps automatically when new cloud VMs are created  (unless  instructed
          not to).

          salt-api  exposes  an  HTTP  call to Salt's REST API to generate and download the new minion keys as a
          tarball.

       There is a general four step process to do this:

       1. Generate the keys on the master:

          root@saltmaster# salt-key --gen-keys=[key_name]

       Pick a name for the key, such as the minion's id.

       2. Add the public key to the accepted minion folder:

          root@saltmaster# cp key_name.pub /etc/salt/pki/master/minions/[minion_id]

       It is necessary that the public key file has the same name as your minion id.  This is how  Salt  matches
       minions  with  their  keys.  Also note that the pki folder could be in a different location, depending on
       your OS or if specified in the master config file.

       3. Distribute the minion keys.

       There is no single method to get the keypair to your minion.  The difficulty is  finding  a  distribution
       method  which  is  secure.  For  Amazon  EC2  only,  an  AWS  best  practice  is to use IAM Roles to pass
       credentials.                          (See                           blog                           post,
       https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/using-iam-roles-to-distribute-non-aws-credentials-to-your-ec2-instances/
       )

          Security Warning

                 Since  the  minion  key is already accepted on the master, distributing the private key poses a
                 potential security risk. A malicious party will have access to your entire state tree and other
                 sensitive data if they gain access to a preseeded minion key.

       4. Preseed the Minion with the keys

       You will want to place the minion keys before starting the salt-minion daemon:

          /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pub

       Once in place, you should be able to start salt-minion and run salt-call state.apply or  any  other  salt
       commands that require master authentication.

   The macOS (Maverick) Developer Step By Step Guide To Salt Installation
       This  document  provides a step-by-step guide to installing a Salt cluster consisting of  one master, and
       one minion running on a local VM hosted on macOS.

       NOTE:
          This guide is aimed at developers who wish to run Salt in a virtual  machine.   The  official  (Linux)
          walkthrough can be found here.

   The 5 Cent Salt Intro
       Since  you're  here you've probably already heard about Salt, so you already know Salt lets you configure
       and run commands on hordes of servers easily.  Here's a brief overview of a Salt cluster:

       • Salt works by having a "master" server sending commands to one or multiple "minion" servers. The master
         server is the "command center". It is going to be the place where you store your  configuration  files,
         aka: "which server is the db, which is the web server, and what libraries and software they should have
         installed".  The  minions  receive orders from the master.  Minions are the servers actually performing
         work for your business.

       • Salt has two types of configuration files:

         1. the "salt communication channels" or "meta"  or "config" configuration files (not  official  names):
         one  for  the master (usually is /etc/salt/master , on the master server), and one for minions (default
         is /etc/salt/minion or /etc/salt/minion.conf, on the minion servers). Those files are used to determine
         things like the Salt Master IP, port, Salt folder locations, etc.. If these are configured incorrectly,
         your minions will probably be unable to receive orders from the master, or the  master  will  not  know
         which software a given minion should install.

         2.  the  "business"  or  "service"  configuration  files  (once again, not an official name): these are
         configuration files, ending with ".sls" extension, that describe which software  should  run  on  which
         server,  along with particular configuration properties for the software that is being installed. These
         files should be created in the /srv/salt folder by default, but their location can be changed using ...
         /etc/salt/master configuration file!

       NOTE:
          This tutorial contains a third important configuration file, not to be confused with the previous two:
          the virtual machine provisioning configuration file. This in itself is not specifically tied to  Salt,
          but it also contains some Salt configuration. More on that in step 3. Also note that all configuration
          files are YAML files. So indentation matters.

       NOTE:
          Salt  also  works with "masterless" configuration where a minion is autonomous (in which case salt can
          be seen as a local configuration tool), or in "multiple master" configuration. See  the  documentation
          for more on that.

   Before Digging In, The Architecture Of The Salt Cluster
   Salt Master
       The  "Salt  master"  server  is  going  to  be  the Mac OS machine, directly. Commands will be run from a
       terminal app, so Salt will need to be installed on the Mac.  This is going  to  be  more  convenient  for
       toying around with configuration files.

   Salt Minion
       We'll  only  have one "Salt minion" server. It is going to be running on a Virtual Machine running on the
       Mac, using VirtualBox. It will run an Ubuntu distribution.

   Step 1 - Configuring The Salt Master On Your Mac
       Official Documentation

       Because Salt has a lot of dependencies that are not built in macOS, we will use Homebrew to install Salt.
       Homebrew is a package manager for Mac, it's great, use it (for this  tutorial  at  least!).  Some  people
       spend  a  lot  of  time  installing  libs by hand to better understand dependencies, and then realize how
       useful a package manager is once they're configuring a brand new machine and  have  to  do  it  all  over
       again. It also lets you uninstall things easily.

       NOTE:
          Brew  is  a  Ruby  program (Ruby is installed by default with your Mac). Brew downloads, compiles, and
          links software. The linking phase is when compiled software  is  deployed  on  your  machine.  It  may
          conflict with manually installed software, especially in the /usr/local directory. It's ok, remove the
          manually  installed  version  then refresh the link by typing brew link 'packageName'. Brew has a brew
          doctor command that can help you troubleshoot. It's a great command, use it often. Brew requires xcode
          command line tools. When you run brew the first time it asks  you  to  install  them  if  they're  not
          already  on  your  system.  Brew installs software in /usr/local/bin (system bins are in /usr/bin). In
          order to use those bins you need your $PATH to search there first. Brew tells you if your $PATH  needs
          to be fixed.

       TIP:
          Use  the keyboard shortcut cmd + shift + period in the "open" macOS dialog box to display hidden files
          and folders, such as .profile.

   Install Homebrew
       Install Homebrew here https://brew.sh/

       Or just type

          ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

       Now type the following commands in your terminal (you may want to type brew doctor  after  each  to  make
       sure everything's fine):

          brew install python
          brew install swig
          brew install zmq

       NOTE:
          zmq  is ZeroMQ. It's a fantastic library used for server to server network communication and is at the
          core of Salt efficiency.

   Install Salt
       You should now have everything ready to launch this command:

          pip install salt

       NOTE:
          There should be no need for sudo pip install salt. Brew installed Python for your user, so you  should
          have  all  the  access.  In  case  you  would  like  to  check,  type which python to ensure that it's
          /usr/local/bin/python, and which pip which should be /usr/local/bin/pip.

       Now type python in a terminal then, import salt. There should be no errors. Now exit the Python  terminal
       using exit().

   Create The Master Configuration
       If   the  default  /etc/salt/master  configuration  file  was  not  created,  copy-paste  it  from  here:
       https://docs.saltproject.io/ref/configuration/examples.html#configuration-examples-master

       NOTE:
          /etc/salt/master is a file, not a folder.

       Salt Master configuration changes. The Salt master needs a few customization to be able to run on macOS:

          sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 4096 8192

       In the /etc/salt/master file, change max_open_files to 8192 (or just add the line:  max_open_files:  8192
       (no quote) if it doesn't already exists).

       You should now be able to launch the Salt master:

          sudo salt-master --log-level=all

       There should be no errors when running the above command.

       NOTE:
          This command is supposed to be a daemon, but for toying around, we'll keep it running on a terminal to
          monitor the activity.

       Now that the master is set, let's configure a minion on a VM.

   Step 2 - Configuring The Minion VM
       The  Salt  minion  is going to run on a Virtual Machine. There are a lot of software options that let you
       run virtual machines on a mac, But for this tutorial we're  going  to  use  VirtualBox.  In  addition  to
       virtualBox, we will use Vagrant, which allows you to create the base VM configuration.

       Vagrant  lets  you  build  ready  to  use  VM  images, starting from an OS image and customizing it using
       "provisioners". In our case, we'll use it to:

       • Download the base Ubuntu image

       • Install salt on that Ubuntu image (Salt is going to be the "provisioner" for the VM).

       • Launch the VM

       • SSH into the VM to debug

       • Stop the VM once you're done.

   Install VirtualBox
       Go get it here:  https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads  (click  on  VirtualBox  for  macOS  hosts  =>
       x86/amd64)

   Install Vagrant
       Go  get it here: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html and choose the latest version (1.3.5 at time of
       writing), then the .dmg file. Double-click to install it.  Make sure the vagrant command  is  found  when
       run in the terminal. Type vagrant. It should display a list of commands.

   Create The Minion VM Folder
       Create  a  folder  in  which you will store your minion's VM. In this tutorial, it's going to be a minion
       folder in the $home directory.

          cd $home
          mkdir minion

   Initialize Vagrant
       From the minion folder, type

          vagrant init

       This command creates a default Vagrantfile configuration file. This configuration file will  be  used  to
       pass configuration parameters to the Salt provisioner in Step 3.

   Import Precise64 Ubuntu Box
          vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box

       NOTE:
          This  box  is  added at the global Vagrant level. You only need to do it once as each VM will use this
          same file.

   Modify the Vagrantfile
       Modify ./minion/Vagrantfile to use th precise64 box. Change the config.vm.box line to:

          config.vm.box = "precise64"

       Uncomment the line creating a host-only IP. This is the ip of your minion (you can change it to something
       else if that IP is already in use):

          config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"

       At this point you should have a VM that can run, although there won't be much in it. Let's check that.

   Checking The VM
       From the $home/minion folder type:

          vagrant up

       A log showing the VM booting should be present. Once it's done you'll be back to the terminal:

          ping 192.168.33.10

       The VM should respond to your ping request.

       Now log into the VM in ssh using Vagrant again:

          vagrant ssh

       You should see the shell prompt change to something similar to vagrant@precise64:~$ meaning you're inside
       the VM. From there, enter the following:

          ping 10.0.2.2

       NOTE:
          That ip is the ip of your VM host (the macOS  host).  The  number  is  a  VirtualBox  default  and  is
          displayed  in  the  log  after the Vagrant ssh command. We'll use that IP to tell the minion where the
          Salt master is.  Once you're done, end the ssh session by typing exit.

       It's now time to connect the VM to the salt master

   Step 3 - Connecting Master and Minion
   Creating The Minion Configuration File
       Create the /etc/salt/minion file. In that file, put the following lines, giving the ID for  this  minion,
       and the IP of the master:

          master: 10.0.2.2
          id: 'minion1'
          file_client: remote

       Minions  authenticate  with  the master using keys. Keys are generated automatically if you don't provide
       one and can accept them later on. However, this requires accepting the minion key every time  the  minion
       is  destroyed  or  created (which could be quite often). A better way is to create those keys in advance,
       feed them to the minion, and authorize them once.

   Preseed minion keys
       From the minion folder on your Mac run:

          sudo salt-key --gen-keys=minion1

       This should create two files: minion1.pem, and minion1.pub.  Since those files have  been  created  using
       sudo, but will be used by vagrant, you need to change ownership:

          sudo chown youruser:yourgroup minion1.pem
          sudo chown youruser:yourgroup minion1.pub

       Then copy the .pub file into the list of accepted minions:

          sudo cp minion1.pub /etc/salt/pki/master/minions/minion1

   Modify Vagrantfile to Use Salt Provisioner
       Let's  now  modify  the  Vagrantfile  used  to  provision  the  Salt VM. Add the following section in the
       Vagrantfile (note: it should be at the same indentation level as the other properties):

          # salt-vagrant config
          config.vm.provision :salt do |salt|
              salt.run_highstate = true
              salt.minion_config = "/etc/salt/minion"
              salt.minion_key = "./minion1.pem"
              salt.minion_pub = "./minion1.pub"
          end

       Now destroy the vm and recreate it from the /minion folder:

          vagrant destroy
          vagrant up

       If everything is fine you should see the following message:

          "Bootstrapping Salt... (this may take a while)
          Salt successfully configured and installed!"

   Checking Master-Minion Communication
       To make sure the master and minion are talking to each other, enter the following:

          sudo salt '*' test.version

       You should see your minion answering with its salt version. It's now time to do some configuration.

   Step 4 - Configure Services to Install On the Minion
       In this step we'll use the Salt master to instruct our minion to install Nginx.

   Checking the system's original state
       First, make sure that an HTTP server is not installed on our minion.  When opening a browser directed  at
       http://192.168.33.10/ You should get an error saying the site cannot be reached.

   Initialize the top.sls file
       System configuration is done in /srv/salt/top.sls (and subfiles/folders), and then applied by running the
       state.apply  function  to have the Salt master order its minions to update their instructions and run the
       associated commands.

       First Create an empty file on your Salt master (macOS machine):

          touch /srv/salt/top.sls

       When the file is empty, or if no configuration is found for our minion an error is reported:

          sudo salt 'minion1' state.apply

       This should return an error stating: No Top file or external nodes data matches found.

   Create The Nginx Configuration
       Now is finally the time to enter the real meat of our server's  configuration.   For  this  tutorial  our
       minion will be treated as a web server that needs to have Nginx installed.

       Insert the following lines into /srv/salt/top.sls (which should current be empty).

          base:
            'minion1':
              - bin.nginx

       Now create /srv/salt/bin/nginx.sls containing the following:

          nginx:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nginx
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - reload: True

   Check Minion State
       Finally, run the state.apply function again:

          sudo salt 'minion1' state.apply

       You  should  see  a  log showing that the Nginx package has been installed and the service configured. To
       prove it, open your browser and navigate to http://192.168.33.10/, you  should  see  the  standard  Nginx
       welcome page.

       Congratulations!

   Where To Go From Here
       A  full  description  of configuration management within Salt (sls files among other things) is available
       here: https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/index.html#configuration-management

   running salt as normal user tutorial
       Before continuing make sure you have a working Salt installation by following the  installation  and  the
       configuration instructions.

          Stuck?

                 There are many ways to salt-community including our mailing list and our IRC channel #salt.

   Running Salt functions as non root user
       If  you  don't  want  to run salt cloud as root or even install it you can configure it to have a virtual
       root in your working directory.

       The salt system uses the salt.syspath module to find the variables

       If you run the salt-build, it will generated in:

          ./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/salt/_syspaths.py

       To generate it, run the command:

          python setup.py build

       Copy the generated module into your salt directory

          cp ./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/salt/_syspaths.py salt/_syspaths.py

       Edit it to include needed variables and your new paths

          # you need to edit this
          _your_current_dir_ = ...
          ROOT_DIR = _your_current_dir_ + "/salt/root"

          # you need to edit this
          _location_of_source_code_ = ...
          INSTALL_DIR = _location_of_source_code_

          CONFIG_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/etc/salt"
          CACHE_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/var/cache/salt"
          SOCK_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/var/run/salt"
          SRV_ROOT_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/srv"
          BASE_FILE_ROOTS_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/srv/salt"
          BASE_PILLAR_ROOTS_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/srv/pillar"
          BASE_MASTER_ROOTS_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/srv/salt-master"
          LOGS_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/var/log/salt"
          PIDFILE_DIR = ROOT_DIR + "/var/run"
          CLOUD_DIR = INSTALL_DIR + "/cloud"
          BOOTSTRAP = CLOUD_DIR + "/deploy/bootstrap-salt.sh"

       Create the directory structure

          mkdir -p root/etc/salt root/var/cache/run root/run/salt root/srv
          root/srv/salt root/srv/pillar root/srv/salt-master root/var/log/salt root/var/run

       Populate the configuration files:

          cp -r conf/* root/etc/salt/

       Edit your root/etc/salt/master configuration that is used by salt-cloud:

          user: *your user name*

       Run like this:

          PYTHONPATH=`pwd` scripts/salt-cloud

   Standalone Minion
       Since the Salt minion contains such extensive functionality it can be useful  to  run  it  standalone.  A
       standalone minion can be used to do a number of things:

       • Use salt-call commands on a system without connectivity to a master

       • Masterless States, run states entirely from files local to the minion

       NOTE:
          When running Salt in masterless mode, it is not required to run the salt-minion daemon. By default the
          salt-minion  daemon  will attempt to connect to a master and fail. The salt-call command stands on its
          own and does not need the salt-minion daemon.

          As of version 2016.11.0 you can have a running minion (with engines  and  beacons)  without  a  master
          connection.  If  you  wish  to  run  the  salt-minion  daemon  you  will  need  to set the master_type
          configuration setting to be set to 'disable'.

   Minion Configuration
       Throughout this document there are several  references  to  setting  different  options  to  configure  a
       masterless  Minion.  Salt  Minions  are  easy  to  configure via a configuration file that is located, by
       default, in /etc/salt/minion.  Note, however, that on FreeBSD systems, the minion configuration  file  is
       located in /usr/local/etc/salt/minion.

       You can learn more about minion configuration options in the Configuring the Salt Minion docs.

   Telling Salt Call to Run Masterless
       The  salt-call command is used to run module functions locally on a minion instead of executing them from
       the master. Normally the salt-call command checks into the master to  retrieve  file  server  and  pillar
       data, but when running standalone salt-call needs to be instructed to not check the master for this data.
       To  instruct  the  minion  to  not look for a master when running salt-call the file_client configuration
       option needs to be set.  By default the file_client is set to remote so that the minion knows  that  file
       server  and  pillar data are to be gathered from the master. When setting the file_client option to local
       the minion is configured to not gather this data from the master.

          file_client: local

       Now the salt-call command will not look for a master and will assume that the local system has all of the
       file and pillar resources.

   Running States Masterless
       The state system can be easily run without a Salt master, with all needed files local to the  minion.  To
       do  this  the  minion  configuration file needs to be set up to know how to return file_roots information
       like the master. The file_roots setting defaults to /srv/salt for the base environment just like  on  the
       master:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       Now  set up the Salt State Tree, top file, and SLS modules in the same way that they would be set up on a
       master. Now, with the file_client option set to local and an available state tree then calls to functions
       in the state module will use the information in the file_roots on the minion instead of checking in  with
       the master.

       Remember  that  when  creating  a  state tree on a minion there are no syntax or path changes needed, SLS
       modules written to be used from a master do not need to be modified in any way to work with a minion.

       This makes it easy to "script" deployments with Salt states without having to set up a master, and allows
       for these SLS modules to be easily moved into a Salt master as the deployment grows.

       The declared state can now be executed with:

          salt-call state.apply

       Or the salt-call command can be executed with the --local flag, this makes it unnecessary to  change  the
       configuration file:

          salt-call state.apply --local

   External Pillars
       External pillars are supported when running in masterless mode.

   Salt Masterless Quickstart
       Running  a  masterless  salt-minion  lets  you  use  Salt's configuration management for a single machine
       without calling out to a Salt master on another machine.

       Since the Salt minion contains such extensive functionality it can be useful  to  run  it  standalone.  A
       standalone minion can be used to do a number of things:

       • Stand up a master server via States (Salting a Salt Master)

       • Use salt-call commands on a system without connectivity to a master

       • Masterless States, run states entirely from files local to the minion

       It is also useful for testing out state trees before deploying to a production setup.

   Bootstrap Salt Minion
       The salt-bootstrap script makes bootstrapping a server with Salt simple for any OS with a Bourne shell:

          curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o bootstrap_salt.sh
          sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh

       See  the  salt-bootstrap  documentation  for  other  one liners. When using Vagrant to test out salt, the
       Vagrant salt provisioner will provision the VM for you.

   Telling Salt to Run Masterless
       To instruct the minion to not look for a master, the file_client configuration option needs to be set  in
       the  minion  configuration  file.  By default the file_client is set to remote so that the minion gathers
       file server and pillar data from the salt master.  When setting  the  file_client  option  to  local  the
       minion is configured to not gather this data from the master.

          file_client: local

       Now  the salt minion will not look for a master and will assume that the local system has all of the file
       and pillar resources.

       Configuration which resided in the master configuration (e.g. /etc/salt/master) should be  moved  to  the
       minion configuration since the minion does not read the master configuration.

       NOTE:
          When  running  Salt in masterless mode, do not run the salt-minion daemon.  Otherwise, it will attempt
          to connect to a master and fail. The salt-call command stands  on  its  own  and  does  not  need  the
          salt-minion daemon.

   Create State Tree
       Following the successful installation of a salt-minion, the next step is to create a state tree, which is
       where the SLS files that comprise the possible states of the minion are stored.

       The  following  example  walks  through  the steps necessary to create a state tree that ensures that the
       server has the Apache webserver installed.

       NOTE:
          For a complete explanation on Salt States, see the tutorial.

       1. Create the top.sls file:

       /srv/salt/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - webserver

       2. Create the webserver state tree:

       /srv/salt/webserver.sls:

          apache:               # ID declaration
            pkg:                # state declaration
              - installed       # function declaration

       NOTE:
          The apache package has different names on different platforms, for instance  on  Debian/Ubuntu  it  is
          apache2, on Fedora/RHEL it is httpd and on Arch it is apache

       The only thing left is to provision our minion using salt-call.

   Salt-call
       The  salt-call command is used to run remote execution functions locally on a minion instead of executing
       them from the master. Normally the salt-call command checks into the master to retrieve file  server  and
       pillar  data,  but  when  running standalone salt-call needs to be instructed to not check the master for
       this data:

          salt-call --local state.apply

       The --local flag tells the salt-minion to look for the state tree in the local file  system  and  not  to
       contact a Salt Master for instructions.

       To provide verbose output, use -l debug:

          salt-call --local state.apply -l debug

       The  minion  first  examines  the top.sls file and determines that it is a part of the group matched by *
       glob and that the webserver SLS should be applied.

       It then examines the webserver.sls file and finds the apache state, which installs the Apache package.

       The minion should now have Apache installed, and the next step is to begin learning  how  to  write  more
       complex states.

   Dependencies
       Salt should run on any Unix-like platform so long as the dependencies are met.

       • Python - Python2 >= 2.7, Python3 >= 3.4

       • msgpack - High-performance message interchange format

       • YAML - Python YAML bindings

       • Jinja2 - parsing Salt States (configurable in the master settings)

       • MarkupSafe - Implements a XML/HTML/XHTML Markup safe string for Python

       • apache-libcloud  -  Python lib for interacting with many of the popular cloud service providers using a
         unified API

       • Requests - HTTP library

       • Tornado - Web framework and asynchronous networking library

       • futures - Python2 only dependency. Backport of the concurrent.futures package from Python 3.2

       • ZeroMQ:

         • ZeroMQ >= 3.2.0

         • pyzmq >= 2.2.0 - ZeroMQ Python bindings

         • PyCrypto - The Python cryptography toolkit

       WARNING:
          For historical reasons, Salt requires PyCrypto as a "lowest common denominator". However, PyCrypto  is
          unmaintained  and  best  practice  is  to  manually  upgrade  to use a more maintained library such as
          PyCryptodome. See Issue #52674 and Issue #54115 for more info

       Salt defaults to the ZeroMQ  transport.  The  --salt-transport  installation  option  is  available,  but
       currently only supports the zeromq option. This may be expanded in the future.

          python setup.py --salt-transport=zeromq install

       This way, only the required dependencies are pulled by the setup script if need be.

       If installing using pip, the --salt-transport install option can be provided like:

          pip install --install-option="--salt-transport=zeromq" salt

       NOTE:
          Salt  does  not bundle dependencies that are typically distributed as part of the base OS. If you have
          unmet dependencies and are using a custom or minimal installation, you  might  need  to  install  some
          additional packages from your OS vendor.

   Default directories
       During installation several default directories can be configured:

USING SALT

       This section describes the fundamental components and concepts that you need to understand to use Salt.

   Grains
       Salt comes with an interface to derive information about the  underlying  system.   This  is  called  the
       grains  interface,  because  it  presents  salt  with grains of information. Grains are collected for the
       operating system, domain name, IP address, kernel, OS type, memory, and many other system properties.

       The grains interface is made available to Salt modules and components  so  that  the  right  salt  minion
       commands are automatically available on the right systems.

       Grain  data  is relatively static, though if system information changes (for example, if network settings
       are changed), or if a new value is assigned to a custom grain, grain data is refreshed.

       NOTE:
          Grains resolve to lowercase letters. For example, FOO, and foo target the same grain.

   Listing Grains
       Available grains can be listed by using the 'grains.ls' module:

          salt '*' grains.ls

       Grains data can be listed by using the 'grains.items' module:

          salt '*' grains.items

   Using grains in a state
       To use a grain in a state you can access it via {{ grains['key'] }}.

   Grains in the Minion Config
       Grains can also be statically assigned within the minion configuration file.  Just add the option  grains
       and pass options to it:

          grains:
            roles:
              - webserver
              - memcache
            deployment: datacenter4
            cabinet: 13
            cab_u: 14-15

       Then  status  data specific to your servers can be retrieved via Salt, or used inside of the State system
       for matching. It also makes it possible to target based on specific data about your deployment, as in the
       example above.

   Grains in /etc/salt/grains
       If you do not want to place your custom static grains in the minion config file, you can also put them in
       /etc/salt/grains on the minion. They are configured in the same way as in the above example, only without
       a top-level grains: key:

          roles:
            - webserver
            - memcache
          deployment: datacenter4
          cabinet: 13
          cab_u: 14-15

       NOTE:
          Grains in /etc/salt/grains are ignored if you specify the same grains in the minion config.

       NOTE:
          Grains are static, and since they are not often changed, they will need a grains refresh when they are
          updated. You can do this by calling: salt minion saltutil.refresh_modules

       NOTE:
          You can equally configure static grains for Proxy Minions.  As multiple Proxy Minion processes can run
          on the same machine, you need to index the files using the Minion ID, under  /etc/salt/proxy.d/<minion
          ID>/grains.    For   example,   the  grains  for  the  Proxy  Minion  router1  can  be  defined  under
          /etc/salt/proxy.d/router1/grains, while the grains  for  the  Proxy  Minion  switch7  can  be  put  in
          /etc/salt/proxy.d/switch7/grains.

   Matching Grains in the Top File
       With  correctly  configured  grains on the Minion, the top file used in Pillar or during Highstate can be
       made very efficient. For example, consider the following configuration:

          'roles:webserver':
            - match: grain
            - state0

          'roles:memcache':
            - match: grain
            - state1
            - state2

       For this example to work, you would need to have defined the grain role  for  the  minions  you  wish  to
       match.

   Writing Grains
       WARNING:
          Grains  can  be  set  by users that have access to the minion configuration files on the local system,
          making them less secure than other  identifiers  in  Salt.  Avoid  storing  sensitive  data,  such  as
          passwords or keys, on minions. Instead, make use of pillar and/or sdb.

       The  grains are derived by executing all of the "public" functions (i.e. those which do not begin with an
       underscore) found in the modules located in the Salt's core grains code, followed by those in any  custom
       grains  modules.  The  functions in a grains module must return a Python dictionary, where the dictionary
       keys are the names of grains, and each key's value is that value for that grain.

       Custom grains modules should be placed in a subdirectory  named  _grains  located  under  the  file_roots
       specified  by  the master config file. The default path would be /srv/salt/_grains. Custom grains modules
       will be distributed to the minions when state.highstate is run, or by executing the  saltutil.sync_grains
       or saltutil.sync_all functions.

       Grains modules are easy to write, and (as noted above) only need to return a dictionary. For example:

          def yourfunction():
              # initialize a grains dictionary
              grains = {}
              # Some code for logic that sets grains like
              grains["yourcustomgrain"] = True
              grains["anothergrain"] = "somevalue"
              return grains

       The  name  of  the  function  does  not  matter and will not factor into the grains data at all; only the
       keys/values returned become part of the grains.

   When to Use a Custom Grain
       Before adding new grains, consider what the data is and remember that grains should (for the  most  part)
       be static data.

       If  the data is something that is likely to change, consider using Pillar or an execution module instead.
       If it's a simple set of key/value pairs, pillar is a good match. If compiling  the  information  requires
       that  system  commands  be  run,  then putting this information in an execution module is likely a better
       idea.

       Good candidates for grains are data that is useful for targeting minions in the top file or the Salt CLI.
       The name and data structure of the grain should be designed to support many platforms, operating  systems
       or  applications.  Also,  keep  in mind that Jinja templating in Salt supports referencing pillar data as
       well as invoking functions from execution modules, so there's no need to place information in  grains  to
       make it available to Jinja templates. For example:

          ...
          ...
          {{ salt['module.function_name']('argument_1', 'argument_2') }}
          {{ pillar['my_pillar_key'] }}
          ...
          ...

       WARNING:
          Custom  grains  will  not be available in the top file until after the first highstate. To make custom
          grains available on a minion's first highstate, it is recommended to use this example to  ensure  that
          the custom grains are synced when the minion starts.

   Loading Custom Grains
       If you have multiple functions specifying grains that are called from a main function, be sure to prepend
       grain  function  names  with  an underscore. This prevents Salt from including the loaded grains from the
       grain functions in the final grain data structure. For example, consider this custom grain file:

          #!/usr/bin/env python
          def _my_custom_grain():
              my_grain = {"foo": "bar", "hello": "world"}
              return my_grain

          def main():
              # initialize a grains dictionary
              grains = {}
              grains["my_grains"] = _my_custom_grain()
              return grains

       The output of this example renders like so:

          # salt-call --local grains.items
          local:
              ----------
              <Snipped for brevity>
              my_grains:
                  ----------
                  foo:
                      bar
                  hello:
                      world

       However, if you don't prepend the my_custom_grain function with  an  underscore,  the  function  will  be
       rendered  twice  by Salt in the items output: once for the my_custom_grain call itself, and again when it
       is called in the main function:

          # salt-call --local grains.items
          local:
          ----------
              <Snipped for brevity>
              foo:
                  bar
              <Snipped for brevity>
              hello:
                  world
              <Snipped for brevity>
              my_grains:
                  ----------
                  foo:
                      bar
                  hello:
                      world

   Precedence
       Core grains can be overridden by custom grains. As there are several  ways  of  defining  custom  grains,
       there  is an order of precedence which should be kept in mind when defining them. The order of evaluation
       is as follows:

       1. Core grains.

       2. Custom grains in /etc/salt/grains.

       3. Custom grains in /etc/salt/minion.

       4. Custom grain modules in _grains directory, synced to minions.

       Each successive evaluation overrides the previous ones, so any grains defined by  custom  grains  modules
       synced  to  minions  that  have  the  same name as a core grain will override that core grain. Similarly,
       grains from /etc/salt/minion override both core grains and custom grain modules, and  grains  in  _grains
       will override any grains of the same name.

       For  custom grains, if the function takes an argument grains, then the previously rendered grains will be
       passed in.  Because the rest of the grains could be rendered in any order, the only grains  that  can  be
       relied upon to be passed in are core grains. This was added in the 2019.2.0 release.

   Examples of Grains
       The core module in the grains package is where the main grains are loaded by the Salt minion and provides
       the principal example of how to write grains:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/grains/core.py

   Syncing Grains
       Syncing  grains  can  be  done  a  number  of ways. They are automatically synced when state.highstate is
       called,  or  (as  noted  above)  the  grains  can  be  manually  synced  and  reloaded  by  calling   the
       saltutil.sync_grains or saltutil.sync_all functions.

       NOTE:
          When  the  grains_cache  is  set  to False, the grains dictionary is built and stored in memory on the
          minion. Every time the minion restarts or saltutil.refresh_grains is  run,  the  grain  dictionary  is
          rebuilt from scratch.

   Storing Static Data in the Pillar
       Pillar  is  an  interface  for  Salt  designed to offer global values that can be distributed to minions.
       Pillar data is managed in a similar way as the Salt State Tree.

       Pillar was added to Salt in version 0.9.8

       NOTE:
          Storing sensitive data

          Pillar data is compiled on the master. Additionally, pillar data for a given minion is only accessible
          by the minion for which it is targeted in the pillar  configuration.  This  makes  pillar  useful  for
          storing sensitive data specific to a particular minion.

   Declaring the Master Pillar
       The  Salt  Master server maintains a pillar_roots setup that matches the structure of the file_roots used
       in the Salt file server. Like file_roots, the pillar_roots option maps environments to  directories.  The
       pillar  data  is then mapped to minions based on matchers in a top file which is laid out in the same way
       as the state top file. Salt pillars can use the same matcher types as the standard top file.

       conf_master:pillar_roots is configured just like file_roots.  For example:

          pillar_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/pillar

       This example configuration declares that  the  base  environment  will  be  located  in  the  /srv/pillar
       directory. It must not be in a subdirectory of the state tree.

       The top file used matches the name of the top file used for States, and has the same structure:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            '*':
              - packages

       In  the  above  top file, it is declared that in the base environment, the glob matching all minions will
       have the pillar data found in the packages pillar available to it. Assuming  the  pillar_roots  value  of
       /srv/pillar taken from above, the packages pillar would be located at /srv/pillar/packages.sls.

       Any  number of matchers can be added to the base environment. For example, here is an expanded version of
       the Pillar top file stated above:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages
            'web*':
              - vim

       In this expanded top file, minions that match web* will have access to the /srv/pillar/packages.sls file,
       as well as the /srv/pillar/vim.sls file.

       Another example shows how to use other standard top matching types to deliver specific salt  pillar  data
       to minions with different properties.

       Here is an example using the grains matcher to target pillars to minions by their os grain:

          dev:
            'os:Debian':
              - match: grain
              - servers

       Pillar  definitions can also take a keyword argument ignore_missing.  When the value of ignore_missing is
       True, all errors for missing pillar files are ignored. The default value for ignore_missing is False.

       Here is an example using the ignore_missing keyword parameter to ignore errors for missing pillar files:

          base:
            '*':
              - servers
              - systems
              - ignore_missing: True

       Assuming that the pillar servers exists in the fileserver backend and the  pillar  systems  doesn't,  all
       pillar  data  from  servers pillar is delivered to minions and no error for the missing pillar systems is
       noted under the key _errors in the pillar data delivered to minions.

       Should the ignore_missing keyword parameter have the value False, an error for the missing pillar systems
       would produce the value Specified SLS 'servers' in environment 'base' is not available on the salt master
       under the key _errors in the pillar data delivered to minions.

       /srv/pillar/packages.sls

          {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat' %}
          apache: httpd
          git: git
          {% elif grains['os'] == 'Debian' %}
          apache: apache2
          git: git-core
          {% endif %}

          company: Foo Industries

       IMPORTANT:
          See Is Targeting using Grain Data Secure? for important security information.

       The above pillar sets two key/value pairs. If a minion is running RedHat, then the apache key is  set  to
       httpd  and  the  git  key  is  set to the value of git. If the minion is running Debian, those values are
       changed to apache2 and git-core respectively. All minions that have this pillar targeting to them  via  a
       top file will have the key of company with a value of Foo Industries.

       Consequently  this  data  can  be  used from within modules, renderers, State SLS files, and more via the
       shared pillar dictionary:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['apache'] }}

          git:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['git'] }}

       Finally, the above states can utilize the values provided to them via Pillar.  All pillar values targeted
       to a minion are available via the 'pillar' dictionary. As seen in the above example,  Jinja  substitution
       can then be utilized to access the keys and values in the Pillar dictionary.

       Note  that  you  cannot  just list key/value-information in top.sls. Instead, target a minion to a pillar
       file and then list the keys and values in the pillar. Here is an example top file that  illustrates  this
       point:

          base:
            '*':
               - common_pillar

       And the actual pillar file at '/srv/pillar/common_pillar.sls':

          foo: bar
          boo: baz

       NOTE:
          When  working with multiple pillar environments, assuming that each pillar environment has its own top
          file, the jinja placeholder {{ saltenv }} can be used in place of the environment name:

              {{ saltenv }}:
                '*':
                   - common_pillar

          Yes, this is {{ saltenv }}, and not {{ pillarenv }}. The reason for this is  because  the  Pillar  top
          files are parsed using some of the same code which parses top files when running states, so the pillar
          environment takes the place of {{ saltenv }} in the jinja context.

   Dynamic Pillar Environments
       If  environment  __env__ is specified in pillar_roots, all environments that are not explicitly specified
       in pillar_roots will map to the directories from __env__. This allows one to use dynamic git branch based
       environments for state/pillar files with the same file-based pillar applying  to  all  environments.  For
       example:

          pillar_roots:
            __env__:
              - /srv/pillar

          ext_pillar:
            - git:
              - __env__ https://example.com/git-pillar.git

       New in version 2017.7.5,2018.3.1.

   Pillar Namespace Flattening
       The  separate  pillar SLS files all merge down into a single dictionary of key-value pairs. When the same
       key is defined in multiple SLS files, this can result in unexpected behavior if care is not taken to  how
       the pillar SLS files are laid out.

       For example, given a top.sls containing the following:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages
              - services

       with packages.sls containing:

          bind: bind9

       and services.sls containing:

          bind: named

       Then  a  request  for  the  bind pillar key will only return named. The bind9 value will be lost, because
       services.sls was evaluated later.

       NOTE:
          Pillar files are applied in the order they are listed in the top  file.   Therefore  conflicting  keys
          will  be  overwritten in a 'last one wins' manner!  For example, in the above scenario conflicting key
          values in services will overwrite those in packages because it's at the bottom of the list.

       It can be better to structure your pillar files with more hierarchy. For  example  the  package.sls  file
       could be configured like so:

          packages:
            bind: bind9

       This would make the packages pillar key a nested dictionary containing a bind key.

   Pillar Dictionary Merging
       If  the  same  pillar  key  is  defined in multiple pillar SLS files, and the keys in both files refer to
       nested dictionaries, then the content from these dictionaries will be recursively merged.

       For example, keeping the top.sls the same, assume the following modifications to the pillar SLS files:

       packages.sls:

          bind:
            package-name: bind9
            version: 9.9.5

       services.sls:

          bind:
            port: 53
            listen-on: any

       The resulting pillar dictionary will be:

          $ salt-call pillar.get bind
          local:
              ----------
              listen-on:
                  any
              package-name:
                  bind9
              port:
                  53
              version:
                  9.9.5

       Since both pillar SLS files contained a  bind  key  which  contained  a  nested  dictionary,  the  pillar
       dictionary's bind key contains the combined contents of both SLS files' bind keys.

   Including Other Pillars
       New in version 0.16.0.

       Pillar  SLS  files may include other pillar files, similar to State files. Two syntaxes are available for
       this purpose. The simple form simply includes the additional pillar as if it were part of the same file:

          include:
            - users

       The full include form allows two additional options -- passing default values to  the  templating  engine
       for  the  included pillar file as well as an optional key under which to nest the results of the included
       pillar:

          include:
            - users:
                defaults:
                    sudo: ['bob', 'paul']
                key: users

       With this form, the included file (users.sls) will be nested within  the  'users'  key  of  the  compiled
       pillar. Additionally, the 'sudo' value will be available as a template variable to users.sls.

   In-Memory Pillar Data vs. On-Demand Pillar Data
       Since  compiling  pillar data is computationally expensive, the minion will maintain a copy of the pillar
       data in memory to avoid needing to ask the master to recompile and send it a copy of the pillar data each
       time pillar data is requested. This in-memory pillar  data  is  what  is  returned  by  the  pillar.item,
       pillar.get, and pillar.raw functions.

       Also,  for  those writing custom execution modules, or contributing to Salt's existing execution modules,
       the in-memory pillar data is available as the __pillar__ dunder dictionary.

       The  in-memory  pillar  data  is  generated  on  minion  start,  and   can   be   refreshed   using   the
       saltutil.refresh_pillar function:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       This  function  triggers  the  minion to asynchronously refresh the in-memory pillar data and will always
       return None.

       In contrast to in-memory pillar data, certain actions trigger pillar data to be compiled to  ensure  that
       the most up-to-date pillar data is available. These actions include:

       • Running states

       • Running pillar.items

       Performing  these actions will not refresh the in-memory pillar data. So, if pillar data is modified, and
       then states are run, the states will see the  updated  pillar  data,  but  pillar.item,  pillar.get,  and
       pillar.raw will not see this data unless refreshed using saltutil.refresh_pillar.

   How Pillar Environments Are Handled
       When  multiple  pillar  environments  are  used,  the  default  behavior  is for the pillar data from all
       environments to be merged together. The pillar dictionary will therefore contain keys from all configured
       environments.

       The pillarenv minion config option can be used to force the minion to only consider pillar  configuration
       from  a  single  environment.  This  can  be useful in cases where one needs to run states with alternate
       pillar data, either in a testing/QA environment or to test changes to the pillar data before pushing them
       live.

       For example, assume that the following is set in the minion config file:

          pillarenv: base

       This would cause that minion to ignore all other pillar environments  besides  base  when  compiling  the
       in-memory  pillar data. Then, when running states, the pillarenv CLI argument can be used to override the
       minion's pillarenv config value:

          salt '*' state.apply mystates pillarenv=testing

       The above command will run the states with pillar data sourced exclusively from the testing  environment,
       without modifying the in-memory pillar data.

       NOTE:
          When  running  states,  the  pillarenv CLI option does not require a pillarenv option to be set in the
          minion config file. When pillarenv is left unset, as mentioned above all configured environments  will
          be  combined.  Running  states  with  pillarenv=testing  in this case would still restrict the states'
          pillar data to just that of the testing pillar environment.

       Starting in the 2017.7.0 release, it is possible to pin the pillarenv to the effective saltenv, using the
       pillarenv_from_saltenv minion config option. When this is set to True, if a specific saltenv is specified
       when running states, the pillarenv will be the same. This essentially makes the  following  two  commands
       equivalent:

          salt '*' state.apply mystates saltenv=dev
          salt '*' state.apply mystates saltenv=dev pillarenv=dev

       However,  if a pillarenv is specified, it will override this behavior. So, the following command will use
       the qa pillar environment but source the SLS files from the dev saltenv:

          salt '*' state.apply mystates saltenv=dev pillarenv=qa

       So, if a pillarenv is set in the minion config file, pillarenv_from_saltenv will be ignored, and  passing
       a pillarenv on the CLI will temporarily override pillarenv_from_saltenv.

   Viewing Pillar Data
       To  view  pillar  data,  use the pillar execution module. This module includes several functions, each of
       them with their own use. These functions include:

       • pillar.item - Retrieves the value of one or more keys from the in-memory pillar data.

       • pillar.items - Compiles a fresh pillar dictionary and returns it, leaving  the  in-memory  pillar  data
         untouched.  If pillar keys are passed to this function however, this function acts like pillar.item and
         returns their values from the in-memory pillar data.

       • pillar.raw - Like pillar.items, it returns the entire pillar dictionary, but from the in-memory  pillar
         data instead of compiling fresh pillar data.

       • pillar.get - Described in detail below.

   The pillar.get Function
       New in version 0.14.0.

       The  pillar.get  function  works  much  in  the  same way as the get method in a python dict, but with an
       enhancement: nested dictonaries can be traversed using a colon as a delimiter.

       If a structure like this is in pillar:

          foo:
            bar:
              baz: qux

       Extracting it from the raw pillar in an sls formula or file template is done this way:

          {{ pillar['foo']['bar']['baz'] }}

       Now, with the new pillar.get function the data can be safely gathered and a default can be set,  allowing
       the template to fall back if the value is not available:

          {{ salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz', 'qux') }}

       This makes handling nested structures much easier.

       NOTE:
          pillar.get() vs salt['pillar.get']()

          It  should be noted that within templating, the pillar variable is just a dictionary.  This means that
          calling pillar.get() inside of a template will just use the default dictionary .get()  function  which
          does  not  include  the  extra  :  delimiter  functionality.  It must be called using the above syntax
          (salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz', 'qux')) to get the salt function, instead of the default dictionary
          behavior.

   Setting Pillar Data at the Command Line
       Pillar data can be set at the command line like the following example:

          salt '*' state.apply pillar='{"cheese": "spam"}'

       This will add a pillar key of cheese with its value set to spam.

       NOTE:
          Be aware that when sending sensitive  data  via  pillar  on  the  command-line  that  the  publication
          containing  that  data  will  be  received  by  all minions and will not be restricted to the targeted
          minions. This may represent a security concern in some cases.

   Pillar Encryption
       Salt's renderer system can be used to decrypt pillar data. This allows for pillar items to be  stored  in
       an encrypted state, and decrypted during pillar compilation.

   Encrypted Pillar SLS
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Consider the following pillar SLS file:

          secrets:
            vault:
              foo: |

          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'secrets:vault': gpg

       The notation used to specify the pillar item(s) to be decrypted is the same as the one used in pillar.get
       function.

       If a different delimiter is needed, it can be specified using the decrypt_pillar_delimiter config option:

          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'secrets|vault': gpg

          decrypt_pillar_delimiter: '|'

       The name of the renderer used to decrypt a given pillar item can be omitted, and if so it will fall  back
       to the value specified by the decrypt_pillar_default config option, which defaults to gpg.  So, the first
       example above could be rewritten as:

          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'secrets:vault'

   Encrypted Pillar Data on the CLI
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       The following functions support passing pillar data on the CLI via the pillar argument:

       • pillar.itemsstate.applystate.highstatestate.sls

       Triggerring decryption of this CLI pillar data can be done in one of two ways:

       1. Using the pillar_enc argument:

             # salt myminion pillar.items pillar_enc=gpg pillar='{foo: "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\n\nhQEMAw2B674HRhwSAQf+OvPqEdDoA2fk15I5dYUTDoj1yf/pVolAma6iU4v8Zixn\nRDgWsaAnFz99FEiFACsAGDEFdZaVOxG80T0Lj+PnW4pVy0OXmXHnY2KjV9zx8FLS\nQxfvmhRR4t23WSFybozfMm0lsN8r1vfBBjbK+A72l0oxN78d1rybJ6PWNZiXi+aC\nmqIeunIbAKQ21w/OvZHhxH7cnIiGQIHc7N9nQH7ibyoKQzQMSZeilSMGr2abAHun\nmLzscr4wKMb+81Z0/fdBfP6g3bLWMJga3hSzSldU9ovu7KR8rDJI1qOlENj3Wm8C\nwTpDOB33kWIKMqiAjY3JFtb5MCHrafyggwQL7cX1+tI+AbSO6kZpbcDfzetb77LZ\nxc5NWnnGK4pGoqq4MAmZshw98RpecSHKMosto2gtiuWCuo9Zn5cV/FbjZ9CTWrQ=\n=0hO/\n-----END PGP MESSAGE-----"}'

          The newlines in this example are specified using a literal \n. Newlines can be replaced with a literal
          \n using sed:

             $ echo -n bar | gpg --armor --trust-model always --encrypt -r user@domain.tld | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/\\n/g'

          NOTE:
             Using  pillar_enc will perform the decryption minion-side, so for this to work it will be necessary
             to set up the keyring in /etc/salt/gpgkeys on the minion just as one  would  typically  do  on  the
             master. The easiest way to do this is to first export the keys from the master:

                 # gpg --homedir /etc/salt/gpgkeys --export-secret-key -a user@domain.tld >/tmp/keypair.gpg

             Then, copy the file to the minion, setup the keyring, and import:

                 # mkdir -p /etc/salt/gpgkeys
                 # chmod 0700 /etc/salt/gpgkeys
                 # gpg --homedir /etc/salt/gpgkeys --list-keys
                 # gpg --homedir /etc/salt/gpgkeys --import --allow-secret-key-import keypair.gpg

             The --list-keys command is run create a keyring in the newly-created directory.

          Pillar data which is decrypted minion-side will still be securely transferred to the master, since the
          data sent between minion and master is encrypted with the master's public key.

       2. Use  the decrypt_pillar option. This is less flexible in that the pillar key passed on the CLI must be
          pre-configured on the master, but it doesn't require a keyring to be setup on the  minion.  One  other
          caveat  to  this  method  is  that  pillar  decryption  on  the  master  happens  at the end of pillar
          compilation, so if the encrypted pillar data being passed on the CLI needs to be referenced by  pillar
          or ext_pillar during pillar compilation, it must be decrypted minion-side.

   Adding New Renderers for Decryption
       Those  looking  to add new renderers for decryption should look at the gpg renderer for an example of how
       to do so. The function that performs the decryption should be recursive and be able to traverse a mutable
       type such as a dictionary, and modify the values in-place.

       Once the renderer has been written, decrypt_pillar_renderers should be modified so that Salt allows it to
       be used for decryption.

       If the renderer is being submitted upstream to  the  Salt  project,  the  renderer  should  be  added  in
       salt/renderers/. Additionally, the following should be done:

       • Both  occurrences  of  decrypt_pillar_renderers in salt/config/__init__.py should be updated to include
         the name of the new renderer so that it is included in the default value for this config option.

       • The documentation for the decrypt_pillar_renderers config option in the master config file  and  minion
         config file should be updated to show the correct new default value.

       • The  commented  example  for  the  decrypt_pillar_renderers config option in the master config template
         should be updated to show the correct new default value.

   Binary Data in the Pillar
       Salt has partial support for binary pillar data.

       NOTE:
          There are some situations (such as salt-ssh) where only text (ASCII or Unicode) is allowed.

       The simplest way to embed binary data in your pillar is to make use of YAML's built-in binary data  type,
       which requires base64 encoded data.

          salt_pic: !!binary
              iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAMAAAC67D+PAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAACBjSFJNAA

       Then you can use it as a contents_pillar in a state:

          /tmp/salt.png:
            file.managed:
              - contents_pillar: salt_pic

       It is also possible to add ASCII-armored encrypted data to pillars, as mentioned in the Pillar Encryption
       section.

   Master Config in Pillar
       For  convenience  the  data stored in the master configuration file can be made available in all minion's
       pillars. This makes global configuration of services and systems very easy but  may  not  be  desired  if
       sensitive data is stored in the master configuration. This option is disabled by default.

       To  enable  the master config from being added to the pillar set pillar_opts to True in the minion config
       file:

          pillar_opts: True

   Minion Config in Pillar
       Minion configuration options can be set on pillars. Any option that you want to modify, should be in  the
       first  level  of  the  pillars,  in  the same way you set the options in the config file. For example, to
       configure the MySQL root password to be used by MySQL Salt execution module,  set  the  following  pillar
       variable:

          mysql.pass: hardtoguesspassword

   Master Provided Pillar Error
       By default if there is an error rendering a pillar, the detailed error is hidden and replaced with:

          Rendering SLS 'my.sls' failed. Please see master log for details.

       The  error  is  protected  because  it's possible to contain templating data which would give that minion
       information it shouldn't know, like a password!

       To have the  master  provide  the  detailed  error  that  could  potentially  carry  protected  data  set
       pillar_safe_render_error to False:

          pillar_safe_render_error: False

   Pillar Walkthrough
       NOTE:
          This walkthrough assumes that the reader has already completed the initial Salt walkthrough.

       Pillars  are  tree-like structures of data defined on the Salt Master and passed through to minions. They
       allow confidential, targeted data to be securely sent only to the relevant minion.

       NOTE:
          Grains and Pillar are sometimes confused, just remember that Grains are data about a minion  which  is
          stored  or  generated  from the minion.  This is why information like the OS and CPU type are found in
          Grains.  Pillar is information about a minion or many minions stored or generated on the Salt Master.

       Pillar data is useful for:

       Highly Sensitive Data:
              Information transferred via pillar is guaranteed to only be presented  to  the  minions  that  are
              targeted, making Pillar suitable for managing security information, such as cryptographic keys and
              passwords.

       Minion Configuration:
              Minion  modules  such  as the execution modules, states, and returners can often be configured via
              data stored in pillar.

       Variables:
              Variables which need to be assigned to specific minions or groups of minions  can  be  defined  in
              pillar and then accessed inside sls formulas and template files.

       Arbitrary Data:
              Pillar  can  contain  any  basic  data structure in dictionary format, so a key/value store can be
              defined making it easy to iterate over a group of values in sls formulas.

       Pillar is therefore one of the most important systems when using Salt. This walkthrough  is  designed  to
       get  a simple Pillar up and running in a few minutes and then to dive into the capabilities of Pillar and
       where the data is available.

   Setting Up Pillar
       The pillar is already running in Salt by default. To see the minion's pillar data:

          salt '*' pillar.items

       NOTE:
          Prior to version 0.16.2, this function is named pillar.data. This function name is still supported for
          backwards compatibility.

       By default, the contents of the master configuration file are not loaded into  pillar  for  all  minions.
       This default is stored in the pillar_opts setting, which defaults to False.

       The  contents  of  the master configuration file can be made available to minion pillar files. This makes
       global configuration of services and systems very easy,  but  note  that  this  may  not  be  desired  or
       appropriate  if  sensitive  data  is  stored  in  the  master's  configuration file. To enable the master
       configuration file to be available to minion as pillar, set pillar_opts: True in the master configuration
       file, and then for appropriate minions also set pillar_opts: True in the minion(s) configuration file.

       Similar to the state tree, the pillar is comprised of sls files and has a top file.  The default location
       for the pillar is in /srv/pillar.

       NOTE:
          The pillar location can be configured via the pillar_roots  option  inside  the  master  configuration
          file.  It  must  not  be  in  a  subdirectory  of the state tree or file_roots. If the pillar is under
          file_roots, any pillar targeting can be bypassed by minions.

       To start setting up the pillar, the /srv/pillar directory needs to be present:

          mkdir /srv/pillar

       Now create a simple top file, following the same format as the top file used for states:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - data

       This top file associates the data.sls file to all minions. Now the /srv/pillar/data.sls file needs to  be
       populated:

       /srv/pillar/data.sls:

          info: some data

       To ensure that the minions have the new pillar data, issue a command to them asking that they fetch their
       pillars from the master:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       Now that the minions have the new pillar, it can be retrieved:

          salt '*' pillar.items

       The key info should now appear in the returned pillar data.

   More Complex Data
       Unlike states, pillar files do not need to define formulas.  This example sets up user data with a UID:

       /srv/pillar/users/init.sls:

          users:
            thatch: 1000
            shouse: 1001
            utahdave: 1002
            redbeard: 1003

       NOTE:
          The  same  directory  lookups  that exist in states exist in pillar, so the file users/init.sls can be
          referenced with users in the top file.

       The top file will need to be updated to include this sls file:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - data
              - users

       Now the data will be available to the minions. To use the pillar data in a state, you can use Jinja:

       /srv/salt/users/init.sls

          {% for user, uid in pillar.get('users', {}).items() %}
          {{user}}:
            user.present:
              - uid: {{uid}}
          {% endfor %}

       This approach allows for users to be safely defined in a pillar and then the user data is applied  in  an
       sls file.

   Parameterizing States With Pillar
       Pillar  data can be accessed in state files to customise behavior for each minion. All pillar (and grain)
       data applicable to each minion is substituted into the state files through templating before  being  run.
       Typical uses include setting directories appropriate for the minion and skipping states that don't apply.

       A simple example is to set up a mapping of package names in pillar for separate Linux distributions:

       /srv/pillar/pkg/init.sls:

          pkgs:
            {% if grains['os_family'] == 'RedHat' %}
            apache: httpd
            vim: vim-enhanced
            {% elif grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}
            apache: apache2
            vim: vim
            {% elif grains['os'] == 'Arch' %}
            apache: apache
            vim: vim
            {% endif %}

       The new pkg sls needs to be added to the top file:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - data
              - users
              - pkg

       Now  the  minions will auto map values based on respective operating systems inside of the pillar, so sls
       files can be safely parameterized:

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['pkgs']['apache'] }}

       Or, if no pillar is available a default can be set as well:

       NOTE:
          The function pillar.get used in this example was added to Salt in version 0.14.0

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('pkgs:apache', 'httpd') }}

       In the above example, if the pillar value pillar['pkgs']['apache'] is not set  in  the  minion's  pillar,
       then the default of httpd will be used.

       NOTE:
          Under  the  hood,  pillar  is  just a Python dict, so Python dict methods such as get and items can be
          used.

   Pillar Makes Simple States Grow Easily
       One of the design goals of pillar is to make simple sls formulas easily grow into more flexible  formulas
       without refactoring or complicating the states.

       A simple formula:

       /srv/salt/edit/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://edit/vimrc
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - require:
                - pkg: vim

       Can be easily transformed into a powerful, parameterized formula:

       /srv/salt/edit/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['pkgs']['vim'] }}

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: {{ pillar['vimrc'] }}
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - require:
                - pkg: vim

       Where the vimrc source location can now be changed via pillar:

       /srv/pillar/edit/vim.sls:

          {% if grains['id'].startswith('dev') %}
          vimrc: salt://edit/dev_vimrc
          {% elif grains['id'].startswith('qa') %}
          vimrc: salt://edit/qa_vimrc
          {% else %}
          vimrc: salt://edit/vimrc
          {% endif %}

       Ensuring that the right vimrc is sent out to the correct minions.

       The pillar top file must include a reference to the new sls pillar file:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - pkg
              - edit.vim

   Setting Pillar Data on the Command Line
       Pillar data can be set on the command line when running state.apply <salt.modules.state.apply_() like so:

          salt '*' state.apply pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'
          salt '*' state.apply my_sls_file pillar='{"hello": "world"}'

       Nested pillar values can also be set via the command line:

          salt '*' state.sls my_sls_file pillar='{"foo": {"bar": "baz"}}'

       Lists can be passed via command line pillar data as follows:

          salt '*' state.sls my_sls_file pillar='{"some_list": ["foo", "bar", "baz"]}'

       NOTE:
          If  a  key  is passed on the command line that already exists on the minion, the key that is passed in
          will overwrite the entire value of that key, rather than merging only the specified value set via  the
          command line.

       The  example  below  will swap the value for vim with telnet in the previously specified list, notice the
       nested pillar dict:

          salt '*' state.apply edit.vim pillar='{"pkgs": {"vim": "telnet"}}'

       This will attempt to install telnet on your minions, feel free to uninstall the package or replace telnet
       value with anything else.

       NOTE:
          Be aware that when sending sensitive  data  via  pillar  on  the  command-line  that  the  publication
          containing  that  data  will  be  received  by  all minions and will not be restricted to the targeted
          minions. This may represent a security concern in some cases.

   More On Pillar
       Pillar data is generated on the Salt master and securely distributed to minions. Salt is  not  restricted
       to the pillar sls files when defining the pillar but can retrieve data from external sources. This can be
       useful when information about an infrastructure is stored in a separate location.

       Reference information on pillar and the external pillar interface can be found in the Salt documentation:

       Pillar

   Minion Config in Pillar
       Minion  configuration options can be set on pillars. Any option that you want to modify, should be in the
       first level of the pillars, in the same way you set the options in  the  config  file.  For  example,  to
       configure the MySQL root password to be used by MySQL Salt execution module:

          mysql.pass: hardtoguesspassword

       This  is  very  convenient when you need some dynamic configuration change that you want to be applied on
       the fly. For example, there is a chicken and the egg problem if you do this:

          mysql-admin-passwd:
            mysql_user.present:
              - name: root
              - password: somepasswd

          mydb:
            mysql_db.present

       The second state will fail, because you changed the root  password  and  the  minion  didn't  notice  it.
       Setting  mysql.pass  in  the  pillar,  will  help to sort out the issue. But always change the root admin
       password in the first place.

       This is very helpful for any module that needs credentials to apply state changes: mysql, keystone, etc.

   Targeting Minions
       Targeting minions is specifying which minions should run a command or execute a state by matching against
       hostnames, or system information, or defined groups, or even combinations thereof.

       For example the command salt web1 apache.signal restart to restart the Apache httpd server specifies  the
       machine web1 as the target and the command will only be run on that one minion.

       Similarly  when  using  States, the following top file specifies that only the web1 minion should execute
       the contents of webserver.sls:

          base:
            'web1':
              - webserver

       The simple target specifications, glob, regex, and list will cover many use  cases,  and  for  some  will
       cover all use cases, but more powerful options exist.

   Targeting with Grains
       The Grains interface was built into Salt to allow minions to be targeted by system properties. So minions
       running on a particular operating system can be called to execute a function, or a specific kernel.

       Calling via a grain is done by passing the -G option to salt, specifying a grain and a glob expression to
       match  the  value of the grain. The syntax for the target is the grain key followed by a glob expression:
       "os:Arch*".

          salt -G 'os:Fedora' test.version

       Will return True from all of the minions running Fedora.

       To discover what grains are available and what the values are, execute the grains.item salt function:

          salt '*' grains.items

       More info on using targeting with grains can be found here.

   Compound Targeting
       New in version 0.9.5.

       Multiple target interfaces can be used in conjunction to determine the command targets. These targets can
       then be combined using and or or statements.  This is well defined with an example:

          salt -C 'G@os:Debian and webser* or E@db.*' test.version

       In this example any minion who's id starts with webser and is running Debian,  or  any  minion  who's  id
       starts with db will be matched.

       The  type of matcher defaults to glob, but can be specified with the corresponding letter followed by the
       @ symbol. In the above example a grain is used with G@ as well as  a  regular  expression  with  E@.  The
       webser* target does not need to be prefaced with a target type specifier because it is a glob.

       More info on using compound targeting can be found here.

   Node Group Targeting
       New in version 0.9.5.

       For  certain  cases,  it  can  be  convenient  to  have a predefined group of minions on which to execute
       commands. This can be accomplished using what are called  nodegroups.  Nodegroups  allow  for  predefined
       compound  targets  to  be declared in the master configuration file, as a sort of shorthand for having to
       type out complicated compound expressions.

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com and bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'
            group3: 'G@os:Debian and N@group1'

   Advanced Targeting Methods
       There are many ways to target individual minions or groups of minions in Salt:

   Matching the minion id
       Each minion needs a unique identifier. By default when a minion starts for the first time it chooses  its
       FQDN as that identifier. The minion id can be overridden via the minion's id configuration setting.

       TIP:
          minion id and minion keys

          The  minion  id is used to generate the minion's public/private keys and if it ever changes the master
          must then accept the new key as though the minion was a new host.

   Globbing
       The default matching that Salt utilizes is shell-style globbing around the minion id. This also works for
       states in the top file.

       NOTE:
          You must wrap salt calls that use globbing in single-quotes to prevent the shell  from  expanding  the
          globs before Salt is invoked.

       Match all minions:

          salt '*' test.version

       Match all minions in the example.net domain or any of the example domains:

          salt '*.example.net' test.version
          salt '*.example.*' test.version

       Match   all   the   webN   minions  in  the  example.net  domain  (web1.example.net,  web2.example.netwebN.example.net):

          salt 'web?.example.net' test.version

       Match the web1 through web5 minions:

          salt 'web[1-5]' test.version

       Match the web1 and web3 minions:

          salt 'web[1,3]' test.version

       Match the web-x, web-y, and web-z minions:

          salt 'web-[x-z]' test.version

       NOTE:
          For additional targeting methods please review the compound matchers documentation.

   Regular Expressions
       Minions can be matched using Perl-compatible regular expressions (which is globbing on steroids and a ton
       of caffeine).

       Match both web1-prod and web1-devel minions:

          salt -E 'web1-(prod|devel)' test.version

       When using regular expressions in a State's top file, you must specify the matcher as the  first  option.
       The following example executes the contents of webserver.sls on the above-mentioned minions.

          base:
            'web1-(prod|devel)':
            - match: pcre
            - webserver

   Lists
       At the most basic level, you can specify a flat list of minion IDs:

          salt -L 'web1,web2,web3' test.version

   Targeting using Grains
       Grain data can be used when targeting minions.

       For example, the following matches all CentOS minions:

          salt -G 'os:CentOS' test.version

       Match all minions with 64-bit CPUs, and return number of CPU cores for each matching minion:

          salt -G 'cpuarch:x86_64' grains.item num_cpus

       Additionally,  globs  can  be  used  in  grain matches, and grains that are nested in a dictionary can be
       matched by adding a colon for each level that is traversed.  For example, the following will match  hosts
       that have a grain called ec2_tags, which itself is a dictionary with a key named environment, which has a
       value that contains the word production:

          salt -G 'ec2_tags:environment:*production*'

       IMPORTANT:
          See Is Targeting using Grain Data Secure? for important security information.

   Targeting using Pillar
       Pillar  data  can  be  used when targeting minions. This allows for ultimate control and flexibility when
       targeting minions.

       NOTE:
          To start using Pillar targeting it is required to make a Pillar data cache on  Salt  Master  for  each
          Minion  via  following commands: salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar or salt '*' saltutil.sync_all.  Also
          Pillar data cache will be populated during the highstate run.  Once  Pillar  data  changes,  you  must
          refresh the cache by running above commands for this targeting method to work correctly.

       Example:

          salt -I 'somekey:specialvalue' test.version

       Like  with  Grains,  it  is  possible to use globbing as well as match nested values in Pillar, by adding
       colons for each level that is being traversed. The below example would match minions with a pillar  named
       foo, which is a dict containing a key bar, with a value beginning with baz:

          salt -I 'foo:bar:baz*' test.version

   Subnet/IP Address Matching
       Minions can easily be matched based on IP address, or by subnet (using CIDR notation).

          salt -S 192.168.40.20 test.version
          salt -S 2001:db8::/64 test.version

       Ipcidr matching can also be used in compound matches

          salt -C 'S@10.0.0.0/24 and G@os:Debian' test.version

       It is also possible to use in both pillar and state-matching

          '172.16.0.0/12':
             - match: ipcidr
             - internal

   Compound matchers
       Compound  matchers allow very granular minion targeting using any of Salt's matchers. The default matcher
       is a glob match, just as with CLI and top file matching. To match  using  anything  other  than  a  glob,
       prefix the match string with the appropriate letter from the table below, followed by an @ sign.

       Matchers can be joined using boolean and, or, and not operators.

       For example, the following string matches all Debian minions with a hostname that begins with webserv, as
       well as any minions that have a hostname which matches the regular expression web-dc1-srv.*:

          salt -C 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@web-dc1-srv.*' test.version

       That same example expressed in a top file looks like the following:

          base:
            'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@web-dc1-srv.*':
              - match: compound
              - webserver

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Excluding a minion based on its ID is also possible:

          salt -C 'not web-dc1-srv' test.version

       Versions  prior  to 2015.8.0 a leading not was not supported in compound matches. Instead, something like
       the following was required:

          salt -C '* and not G@kernel:Darwin' test.version

       Excluding a minion based on its ID was also possible:

          salt -C '* and not web-dc1-srv' test.version

   Precedence Matching
       Matchers can be grouped together with parentheses to explicitly declare precedence amongst groups.

          salt -C '( ms-1 or G@id:ms-3 ) and G@id:ms-3' test.version

       NOTE:
          Be certain to note that spaces are required between the parentheses and targets. Failing to obey  this
          rule may result in incorrect targeting!

   Alternate Delimiters
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Matchers that target based on a key value pair use a colon (:) as a delimiter. Matchers with a Yes in the
       Alt Delimiters column in the previous table support specifying an alternate delimiter character.

       This is done by specifying an alternate delimiter character between the leading matcher character and the
       @  pattern separator character. This avoids incorrect interpretation of the pattern in the case that : is
       part of the grain or pillar data structure traversal.

          salt -C 'J|@foo|bar|^foo:bar$ or J!@gitrepo!https://github.com:example/project.git' test.ping

   Node groups
       Nodegroups are declared using a compound target specification. The compound target documentation  can  be
       found here.

       The  nodegroups  master  config  file parameter is used to define nodegroups. Here's an example nodegroup
       configuration within /etc/salt/master:

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com or bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'
            group3: 'G@os:Debian and N@group1'
            group4:
              - 'G@foo:bar'
              - 'or'
              - 'G@foo:baz'

       NOTE:
          The L within group1 is matching a list of minions, while the G in group2 is matching specific  grains.
          See the compound matchers documentation for more details.

          As  of  the  2017.7.0  release of Salt, group names can also be prepended with a dash. This brings the
          usage in line with many other areas of Salt. For example:

              nodegroups:
                - group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com or bl*.domain.com'

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       NOTE:
          Nodegroups can reference other nodegroups as seen in group3.  Ensure that you  do  not  have  circular
          references.   Circular  references  will  be  detected and cause partial expansion with a logged error
          message.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Compound nodegroups can be either string values or lists of string  values.   When  the  nodegroup  is  A
       string  value  will  be  tokenized  by  splitting  on whitespace.  This may be a problem if whitespace is
       necessary as part of a pattern.  When a nodegroup is a list of strings then tokenization will happen  for
       each list element as a whole.

       To match a nodegroup on the CLI, use the -N command-line option:

          salt -N group1 test.version

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       NOTE:
          The  N@  classifier  historically could not be used in compound matches within the CLI or top file, it
          was only recognized in the nodegroups master config file parameter. As of the 2019.2.0  release,  this
          limitation no longer exists.

       To match a nodegroup in your top file, make sure to put - match: nodegroup on the line directly following
       the nodegroup name.

          base:
            group1:
              - match: nodegroup
              - webserver

       NOTE:
          When  adding  or modifying nodegroups to a master configuration file, the master must be restarted for
          those changes to be fully recognized.

          A limited amount of functionality, such as targeting with -N from the command-line  may  be  available
          without a restart.

   Defining Nodegroups as Lists of Minion IDs
       A simple list of minion IDs would traditionally be defined like this:

          nodegroups:
            group1: L@host1,host2,host3

       They can now also be defined as a YAML list, like this:

          nodegroups:
            group1:
              - host1
              - host2
              - host3

       New in version 2016.11.0.

   Batch Size
       The -b (or --batch-size) option allows commands to be executed on only a specified number of minions at a
       time. Both percentages and finite numbers are supported.

          salt '*' -b 10 test.version

          salt -G 'os:RedHat' --batch-size 25% apache.signal restart

       This will only run test.version on 10 of the targeted minions at a time and then restart apache on 25% of
       the minions matching os:RedHat at a time and work through them all until the task is complete. This makes
       jobs  like rolling web server restarts behind a load balancer or doing maintenance on BSD firewalls using
       carp much easier with salt.

       The batch system maintains a window of running minions, so, if there are a total of 150 minions  targeted
       and  the  batch  size  is  10,  then  the command is sent to 10 minions, when one minion returns then the
       command is sent to one additional minion, so that the job is constantly running on 10 minions.

       New in version 2016.3.

       The --batch-wait argument can be used to specify a number of seconds to  wait  after  a  minion  returns,
       before sending the command to a new minion.

   SECO Range
       SECO range is a cluster-based metadata store developed and maintained by Yahoo!

       The Range project is hosted here:

       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range

       Learn more about range here:

       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range/wiki/

   Prerequisites
       To  utilize  range  support in Salt, a range server is required. Setting up a range server is outside the
       scope of this document. Apache modules are included in the range distribution.

       With a working range server, cluster files must be defined. These files are written in  YAML  and  define
       hosts contained inside a cluster. Full documentation on writing YAML range files is here:

       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range/wiki/%22yamlfile%22-module-file-spec

       Additionally,  the  Python seco range libraries must be installed on the salt master. One can verify that
       they have been installed correctly via the following command:

          python -c 'import seco.range'

       If no errors are returned, range is installed successfully on the salt master.

   Preparing Salt
       Range support must be enabled on the salt master by setting the hostname and port  of  the  range  server
       inside the master configuration file:

          range_server: my.range.server.com:80

       Following this, the master must be restarted for the change to have an effect.

   Targeting with Range
       Once a cluster has been defined, it can be targeted with a salt command by using the -R or --range flags.

       For example, given the following range YAML file being served from a range server:

          $ cat /etc/range/test.yaml
          CLUSTER: host1..100.test.com
          APPS:
            - frontend
            - backend
            - mysql

       One might target host1 through host100 in the test.com domain with Salt as follows:

          salt --range %test:CLUSTER test.version

       The following salt command would target three hosts: frontend, backend, and mysql:

          salt --range %test:APPS test.version

   Loadable Matchers
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Internally  targeting  is  implemented  with chunks of code called Matchers.  As of the 2019.2.0 release,
       matchers can be loaded dynamically.  Currently new matchers cannot be created, but existing matchers  can
       have their functionality altered or extended.  For more information on Matchers see

   Matchers
       New in version 3000.

       Matchers  are  modules  that provide Salt's targeting abilities.  As of the 3000 release, matchers can be
       dynamically loaded.  Currently new matchers cannot be created because the required plumbing for  the  CLI
       does not exist yet.  Existing matchers may have their functionality altered or extended.

       For details of targeting methods, see the Targeting topic.

       A  matcher  module  must  have  a function called match(). This function ends up becoming a method on the
       Matcher class.  All matcher functions require at least two arguments, self (because the function will  be
       turned  into  a method), and tgt, which is the actual target string.  The grains and pillar matchers also
       take a delimiter argument and should default to DEFAULT_TARGET_DELIM.

       Like other Salt loadable  modules,  modules  that  override  built-in  functionality  can  be  placed  in
       file_roots  in  a  special  directory  and  then  copied  to  the minion through the normal sync process.
       saltutil.sync_all   will   transfer   all   loadable   modules,   and   the   3000   release   introduces
       saltutil.sync_matchers.   For matchers, the directory is /srv/salt/_matchers (assuming your file_roots is
       set to the default /srv/salt).

       As an example, let's modify the list matcher to have the separator be a '/' instead of the default ','.

          from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function, unicode_literals
          from salt.ext import six  # pylint: disable=3rd-party-module-not-gated

          def match(self, tgt):
              """
              Determines if this host is on the list
              """
              if isinstance(tgt, six.string_types):
                  # The stock matcher splits on `,`.  Change to `/` below.
                  tgt = tgt.split("/")
              return bool(self.opts["id"] in tgt)

       Place this code in a file called list_matcher.py in _matchers in your file_roots. Sync this down to  your
       minions  with  saltutil.sync_matchers.   Then attempt to match with the following, replacing minionX with
       three of your minions.

          salt -L 'minion1/minion2/minion3' test.ping

       Three of your minions should respond.

       The current supported matchers and associated filenames are

   The Salt Mine
       The  Salt  Mine  is  used to collect arbitrary data from Minions and store it on the Master. This data is
       then made available to all Minions via the salt.modules.mine module.

       Mine data is gathered on the Minion and sent back to the Master  where  only  the  most  recent  data  is
       maintained (if long term data is required use returners or the external job cache).

   Mine vs Grains
       Mine  data is designed to be much more up-to-date than grain data. Grains are refreshed on a very limited
       basis and are largely static data. Mines are designed to replace slow peer publishing calls when  Minions
       need  data from other Minions. Rather than having a Minion reach out to all the other Minions for a piece
       of data, the Salt Mine, running on the Master, can collect it from all the Minions every  Mine  Interval,
       resulting in almost fresh data at any given time, with much less overhead.

   Mine Functions
       To  enable  the  Salt  Mine the mine_functions option needs to be applied to a Minion. This option can be
       applied via the Minion's configuration file, or the Minion's Pillar. The mine_functions  option  dictates
       what  functions  are  being executed and allows for arguments to be passed in.  The list of functions are
       available in the salt.module.  If no arguments are passed, an empty  list  must  be  added  like  in  the
       test.ping function in the example below:

          mine_functions:
            test.ping: []
            network.ip_addrs:
              interface: eth0
              cidr: 10.0.0.0/8

       In  the  example  above  salt.modules.network.ip_addrs  has  additional  filters  to help narrow down the
       results.  In the above example IP addresses are only returned if they are on a eth0 interface and in  the
       10.0.0.0/8 IP range.

       Changed in version 3000.

       The format to define mine_functions has been changed to allow the same format as used for module.run. The
       old format (above) will still be supported.

          mine_functions:
            test.ping: []
            network.ip_addrs:
              - interface: eth0
              - cidr: 10.0.0.0/8
            test.arg:
              - isn't
              - this
              - fun
              - this: that
              - salt: stack

   Minion-side Access Control
       New in version 3000.

       Mine  functions  can  be  targeted to only be available to specific minions. This uses the same targeting
       parameters as targeting but with keywords allow_tgt and allow_tgt_type. When a minion requests a function
       from the salt mine that is not allowed to  be  requested  by  that  minion  (i.e.  when  looking  up  the
       combination  of allow_tgt and allow_tgt_type and the requesting minion is not in the list) it will get no
       data, just as if the requested function is not present in the salt mine.

          mine_functions:
            network.ip_addrs:
              - interface: eth0
              - cidr: 10.0.0.0/8
              - allow_tgt: 'G@role:master'
              - allow_tgt_type: 'compound'

   Mine Functions Aliases
       Function aliases can be used to provide friendly names, usage intentions or to allow  multiple  calls  of
       the  same  function  with  different  arguments.  There  is a different syntax for passing positional and
       key-value arguments. Mixing positional and key-value arguments is not supported.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

          mine_functions:
            network.ip_addrs: [eth0]
            networkplus.internal_ip_addrs: []
            internal_ip_addrs:
              mine_function: network.ip_addrs
              cidr: 192.168.0.0/16
            ip_list:
              - mine_function: grains.get
              - ip_interfaces

       Changed in version 3000.

       With the addition of the module.run-like format for defining mine_functions, the method of adding aliases
       remains similar. Just add a mine_function kwarg with the name of the real function to  call,  making  the
       key below mine_functions the alias:

          mine_functions:
            alias_name:
              - mine_function: network.ip_addrs
              - eth0
            internal_ip_addrs:
              - mine_function: network.ip_addrs
              - cidr: 192.168.0.0/16
            ip_list:
              - mine_function: grains.get
              - ip_interfaces

   Mine Interval
       The Salt Mine functions are executed when the Minion starts and at a given interval by the scheduler. The
       default  interval  is every 60 minutes and can be adjusted for the Minion via the mine_interval option in
       the minion config:

          mine_interval: 60

   Mine in Salt-SSH
       As of the 2015.5.0 release of salt, salt-ssh supports mine.get.

       Because the Minions cannot provide their own mine_functions  configuration,  we  retrieve  the  args  for
       specified mine functions in one of three places, searched in the following order:

       1. Roster data

       2. Pillar

       3. Master config

       The mine_functions are formatted exactly the same as in normal salt, just stored in a different location.
       Here is an example of a flat roster containing mine_functions:

          test:
            host: 104.237.131.248
            user: root
            mine_functions:
              cmd.run: ['echo "hello!"']
              network.ip_addrs:
                interface: eth0

       NOTE:
          Because  of  the differences in the architecture of salt-ssh, mine.get calls are somewhat inefficient.
          Salt must make a new salt-ssh call to each of the Minions in question to retrieve the requested  data,
          much  like  a  publish  call. However, unlike publish, it must run the requested function as a wrapper
          function, so we can retrieve the function args from the pillar of the Minion in question. This results
          in a non-trivial delay in retrieving the requested data.

   Minions Targeting with Mine
       The mine.get function supports various methods of Minions targeting to fetch Mine  data  from  particular
       hosts,  such  as  glob  or  regular expression matching on Minion id (name), grains, pillars and compound
       matches. See the salt.modules.mine module documentation for the reference.

       NOTE:
          Pillar data needs to be cached on Master for pillar targeting to work with  Mine.  Read  the  note  in
          relevant section.

   Example
       One  way  to use data from Salt Mine is in a State. The values can be retrieved via Jinja and used in the
       SLS file. The following example is a partial HAProxy configuration file and pulls IP addresses  from  all
       Minions with the "web" grain to add them to the pool of load balanced servers.

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            'G@roles:web':
              - web

       /srv/pillar/web.sls:

          mine_functions:
            network.ip_addrs: [eth0]

       Then trigger the minions to refresh their pillar data by running:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       Verify  that  the  results  are  showing  up  in the pillar on the minions by executing the following and
       checking for network.ip_addrs in the output:

          salt '*' pillar.items

       Which should show that the function is present on the minion, but not include the output:

          minion1.example.com:
              ----------
              mine_functions:
                  ----------
                  network.ip_addrs:
                      - eth0

       Mine data is typically only updated on the master every 60 minutes, this can be modified by setting:

       /etc/salt/minion.d/mine.conf:

          mine_interval: 5

       To force the mine data to update immediately run:

          salt '*' mine.update

       Setup the salt.states.file.managed state in /srv/salt/haproxy.sls:

          haproxy_config:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/haproxy/config
              - source: salt://haproxy_config
              - template: jinja

       Create the Jinja template in /srv/salt/haproxy_config:

          <...file contents snipped...>

          {% for server, addrs in salt['mine.get']('roles:web', 'network.ip_addrs', tgt_type='grain') | dictsort() %}
          server {{ server }} {{ addrs[0] }}:80 check
          {% endfor %}

          <...file contents snipped...>

       In the above example, server will be expanded to the minion_id.

       NOTE:
          The expr_form argument will be renamed to tgt_type in the 2017.7.0 release of Salt.

   Runners
       Salt runners are convenience applications executed with the salt-run command.

       Salt runners work similarly to Salt execution modules however they execute  on  the  Salt  master  itself
       instead of remote Salt minions.

       A Salt runner can be a simple client call or a complex application.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of runners

   Writing Salt Runners
       A  Salt  runner is written in a similar manner to a Salt execution module.  Both are Python modules which
       contain functions and each public function is a runner which may be executed via the salt-run command.

       For example, if a Python module named test.py is created in the runners directory and contains a function
       called foo, the test runner could be invoked with the following command:

          # salt-run test.foo

       Runners have several options for controlling output.

       Any print statement in a runner is automatically also fired onto the master event bus where. For example:

          def a_runner(outputter=None, display_progress=False):
              print("Hello world")
              ...

       The above would result in an event fired as follows:

          Event fired at Tue Jan 13 15:26:45 2015
          *************************
          Tag: salt/run/20150113152644070246/print
          Data:
          {'_stamp': '2015-01-13T15:26:45.078707',
           'data': 'hello',
            'outputter': 'pprint'}

       A runner may also send a progress event, which is displayed to the user during runner  execution  and  is
       also passed across the event bus if the display_progress argument to a runner is set to True.

       A  custom  runner  may send its own progress event by using the __jid_event_.fire_event() method as shown
       here:

          if display_progress:
              __jid_event__.fire_event({"message": "A progress message"}, "progress")

       The above would produce output on the console reading: A progress message as well  as  an  event  on  the
       event similar to:

          Event fired at Tue Jan 13 15:21:20 2015
          *************************
          Tag: salt/run/20150113152118341421/progress
          Data:
          {'_stamp': '2015-01-13T15:21:20.390053',
           'message': "A progress message"}

       A  runner  could  use  the  same  approach  to  send an event with a customized tag onto the event bus by
       replacing the second argument (progress) with whatever tag is desired. However, this will not be shown on
       the command-line and will only be fired onto the event bus.

   Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
       A runner may be fired asynchronously which will immediately return control. In this case, no output  will
       be  display  to  the  user  if salt-run is being used from the command-line. If used programmatically, no
       results will be returned.  If results are desired, they must be gathered either by firing events  on  the
       bus from the runner and then watching for them or by some other means.

       NOTE:
          When  running  a  runner  in  asynchronous  mode,  the  --progress flag will not deliver output to the
          salt-run CLI. However, progress events will still be fired on the bus.

       In synchronous mode, which is the default, control will not be returned until  the  runner  has  finished
       executing.

       To  add  custom  runners,  put  them in a directory and add it to runner_dirs in the master configuration
       file.

   Examples
       Examples of runners can be found in the Salt distribution:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/runners

       A simple runner that returns a well-formatted list of the minions that are responding to Salt calls could
       look like this:

          # Import salt modules
          import salt.client

          def up():
              """
              Print a list of all of the minions that are up
              """
              client = salt.client.LocalClient(__opts__["conf_file"])
              minions = client.cmd("*", "test.version", timeout=1)
              for minion in sorted(minions):
                  print(minion)

   Salt Engines
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Salt Engines are long-running, external system processes that leverage Salt.

       • Engines have access to Salt configuration, execution modules,  and  runners  (__opts__,  __salt__,  and
         __runners__).

       • Engines  are  executed  in  a separate process that is monitored by Salt. If a Salt engine stops, it is
         restarted automatically.

       • Engines can run on the Salt master and on Salt minions.

       Salt engines enhance and replace the external processes functionality.

   Configuration
       Salt engines are configured under an engines top-level  section  in  your  Salt  master  or  Salt  minion
       configuration. Provide a list of engines and parameters under this section.

          engines:
            - logstash:
                host: log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp

       New in version 3000.

       Multiple copies of a particular Salt engine can be configured by including the engine_module parameter in
       the engine configuration.

          engines:
            - production_logstash:
                host: production_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash
            - develop_logstash:
                host: develop_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash

       Salt  engines  must  be  in  the  Salt  path,  or you can add the engines_dirs option in your Salt master
       configuration with a list of directories under which Salt attempts to  find  Salt  engines.  This  option
       should be formatted as a list of directories to search, such as:

          engines_dirs:
            - /home/bob/engines

   Writing an Engine
       An  example Salt engine, https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/engines/test.py, is available
       in the Salt source. To develop an engine, the only requirement is that your module implement the  start()
       function.

   What is YAML and How To Use It
       The default renderer for SLS files is the YAML renderer.

   What is YAML
       What does YAML stand for? It's an acronym for YAML Ain't Markup Language.

       The Official YAML Website defines YAML as:
          ...a human friendly data serialization standard for all programming languages.

       However,  Salt  uses a small subset of YAML that maps over very commonly used data structures, like lists
       and dictionaries. It is the job of the YAML renderer to take the YAML data structure and compile it  into
       a Python data structure for use by Salt.

   Defining YAML
       Though  YAML  syntax  may  seem  daunting  and  terse at first, there are only three very simple rules to
       remember when writing YAML for SLS files.

   Rule One: Indentation
       YAML uses a fixed indentation scheme to represent relationships between data layers. Salt  requires  that
       the indentation for each level consists of exactly two spaces. Do not use tabs.

   Rule Two: Colons
       Python dictionaries are, of course, simply key-value pairs. Users from other languages may recognize this
       data type as hashes or associative arrays.

       Dictionary keys are represented in YAML as strings terminated by a trailing colon. Values are represented
       by either a string following the colon, separated by a space:

          my_key: my_value

       In Python, the above maps to:

          {"my_key": "my_value"}

       Alternatively, a value can be associated with a key through indentation.

          my_key:
            my_value

       NOTE:
          The above syntax is valid YAML but is uncommon in SLS files because most often, the value for a key is
          not singular but instead is a list of values.

       In Python, the above maps to:

          {"my_key": "my_value"}

       Dictionaries can be nested:

          first_level_dict_key:
            second_level_dict_key: value_in_second_level_dict

       And in Python:

          {"first_level_dict_key": {"second_level_dict_key": "value_in_second_level_dict"}}

   Rule Three: Dashes
       To  represent lists of items, a single dash followed by a space is used. Multiple items are a part of the
       same list as a function of their having the same level of indentation.

          - list_value_one
          - list_value_two
          - list_value_three

       Lists can be the value of a key-value pair. This is quite common in Salt:

          my_dictionary:
            - list_value_one
            - list_value_two
            - list_value_three

       In Python, the above maps to:

          {"my_dictionary": ["list_value_one", "list_value_two", "list_value_three"]}

   Learning more about YAML
       One easy way to learn more about how YAML gets rendered into Python data structures is to use  an  online
       YAML parser to see the Python output.

       Here are some excellent links for experimenting with and referencing YAML:

   Templating
       Jinja statements and expressions are allowed by default in SLS files. See Understanding Jinja.

   Understanding Jinja
       Jinja is the default templating language in SLS files.

       IMPORTANT:
          Jinja  supports a secure, sandboxed template execution environment that Salt takes advantage of. Other
          text renderers do not support  this  functionality,  so  Salt  highly  recommends  usage  of  jinja  /
          jinja|yaml.

   Jinja in States
       Jinja is evaluated before YAML, which means it is evaluated before the States are run.

       The most basic usage of Jinja in state files is using control structures to wrap conditional or redundant
       state elements:

          {% if grains['os'] != 'FreeBSD' %}
          tcsh:
              pkg:
                  - installed
          {% endif %}

          motd:
            file.managed:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'FreeBSD' %}
              - name: /etc/motd
              {% elif grains['os'] == 'Debian' %}
              - name: /etc/motd.tail
              {% endif %}
              - source: salt://motd

       In  this  example,  the first if block will only be evaluated on minions that aren't running FreeBSD, and
       the second block changes the file name based on the os grain.

       Writing if-else blocks can lead to very redundant state files however. In this case,  using  pillars,  or
       using a previously defined variable might be easier:

          {% set motd = ['/etc/motd'] %}
          {% if grains['os'] == 'Debian' %}
            {% set motd = ['/etc/motd.tail', '/var/run/motd'] %}
          {% endif %}

          {% for motdfile in motd %}
          {{ motdfile }}:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://motd
          {% endfor %}

       Using  a  variable  set by the template, the for loop will iterate over the list of MOTD files to update,
       adding a state block for each file.

       The filter_by function can also be used to set variables based on grains:

          {% set auditd = salt['grains.filter_by']({
          'RedHat': { 'package': 'audit' },
          'Debian': { 'package': 'auditd' },
          }) %}

   Include and Import
       Includes and imports can be used to share common, reusable state configuration between  state  files  and
       between files.

          {% from 'lib.sls' import test %}

       This would import the test template variable or macro, not the test state element, from the file lib.sls.
       In  the  case  that  the  included  file  performs checks against grains, or something else that requires
       context, passing the context into the included file is required:

          {% from 'lib.sls' import test with context %}

       Includes must use full paths, like so:

       spam/eggs.jinja

           {% include 'spam/foobar.jinja' %}

   Including Context During Include/Import
       By adding with context to the  include/import  directive,  the  current  context  can  be  passed  to  an
       included/imported template.

          {% import 'openssl/vars.sls' as ssl with context %}

   Macros
       Macros  are  helpful  for  eliminating redundant code. Macros are most useful as mini-templates to repeat
       blocks of strings with a few parameterized variables.   Be  aware  that  stripping  whitespace  from  the
       template  block,  as  well  as  contained  blocks, may be necessary to emulate a variable return from the
       macro.

          # init.sls
          {% from 'lib.sls' import pythonpkg with context %}

          python-virtualenv:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pythonpkg('virtualenv') }}

          python-fabric:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pythonpkg('fabric') }}

          # lib.sls
          {% macro pythonpkg(pkg) -%}
            {%- if grains['os'] == 'FreeBSD' -%}
              py27-{{ pkg }}
            {%- elif grains['os'] == 'Debian' -%}
              python-{{ pkg }}
            {%- endif -%}
          {%- endmacro %}

       This would define a macro that would return a string of the full package name, depending on the packaging
       system's naming convention. The whitespace of the macro was eliminated, so that the macro would return  a
       string without line breaks, using whitespace control.

   Template Inheritance
       Template  inheritance  works  fine  from state files and files. The search path starts at the root of the
       state tree or pillar.

   Errors
       Saltstack allows raising custom errors using the raise jinja function.

          {{ raise('Custom Error') }}

       When rendering the template containing the above statement, a TemplateError exception is raised,  causing
       the rendering to fail with the following message:

          TemplateError: Custom Error

   Filters
       Saltstack extends builtin filters with these custom filters:

   strftime
       Converts  any  time  related  object  into a time based string. It requires valid strftime directives. An
       exhaustive list can be found here in the Python documentation.

          {% set curtime = None | strftime() %}

       Fuzzy dates require the timelib Python module is installed.

          {{ "2002/12/25"|strftime("%y") }}
          {{ "1040814000"|strftime("%Y-%m-%d") }}
          {{ datetime|strftime("%u") }}
          {{ "tomorrow"|strftime }}

   sequence
       Ensure that parsed data is a sequence.

   yaml_encode
       Serializes a single object  into  a  YAML  scalar  with  any  necessary  handling  for  escaping  special
       characters.   This  will work for any scalar YAML data type: ints, floats, timestamps, booleans, strings,
       unicode.  It will not work for multi-objects such as sequences or maps.

          {%- set bar = 7 %}
          {%- set baz = none %}
          {%- set zip = true %}
          {%- set zap = 'The word of the day is "salty"' %}

          {%- load_yaml as foo %}
          bar: {{ bar|yaml_encode }}
          baz: {{ baz|yaml_encode }}
          zip: {{ zip|yaml_encode }}
          zap: {{ zap|yaml_encode }}
          {%- endload %}

       In the above case {{ bar }} and {{ foo.bar }} should be identical and {{ baz }} and {{ foo.baz }}  should
       be identical.

   yaml_dquote
       Serializes  a string into a properly-escaped YAML double-quoted string.  This is useful when the contents
       of a string are unknown and may contain quotes or unicode that needs  to  be  preserved.   The  resulting
       string will be emitted with opening and closing double quotes.

          {%- set bar = '"The quick brown fox . . ."' %}
          {%- set baz = 'The word of the day is "salty".' %}

          {%- load_yaml as foo %}
          bar: {{ bar|yaml_dquote }}
          baz: {{ baz|yaml_dquote }}
          {%- endload %}

       In  the above case {{ bar }} and {{ foo.bar }} should be identical and {{ baz }} and {{ foo.baz }} should
       be identical.  If variable contents are not  guaranteed  to  be  a  string  then  it  is  better  to  use
       yaml_encode which handles all YAML scalar types.

   yaml_squote
       Similar  to  the  yaml_dquote  filter but with single quotes.  Note that YAML only allows special escapes
       inside double quotes so yaml_squote is not nearly as useful (viz. you likely want to use  yaml_encode  or
       yaml_dquote).

   to_bool

          True
          False

       Return True if a substring is found in a list of string values.

       Example:

          {{ 'abcd' | substring_in_list(['this', 'is', 'an abcd example']) }}

       Returns:

          True

   check_whitelist_blacklist
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Check a whitelist and/or blacklist to see if the value matches it.

       This filter can be used with either a whitelist or  a  blacklist  individually,  or  a  whitelist  and  a
       blacklist can be passed simultaneously.

       If  whitelist  is  used  alone,  value  membership is checked against the whitelist only. If the value is
       found, the function returns True.  Otherwise, it returns False.

       If blacklist is used alone, value membership is checked against the  blacklist  only.  If  the  value  is
       found, the function returns False.  Otherwise, it returns True.

       If  both  a  whitelist  and  a blacklist are provided, value membership in the blacklist will be examined
       first. If the value is not found in the blacklist, then the whitelist is  checked.  If  the  value  isn't
       found in the whitelist, the function returns False.

       Whitelist Example:

          {{ 5 | check_whitelist_blacklist(whitelist=[5, 6, 7]) }}

       Returns:

          True

       Blacklist Example:

          {{ 5 | check_whitelist_blacklist(blacklist=[5, 6, 7]) }}

          False

          {{ 1457456400 | date_format('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M') }}

       Returns:

          2017-03-08
          08.03.2017 17:00

   to_num
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from str_to_num to to_num.

       Converts a string to its numerical value.

       Example:

          {{ '5' | to_num }}

       Returns:

          5

   to_bytes
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Converts string-type object to bytes.

       Example:

          {{ 'wall of text' | to_bytes }}

       NOTE:
          This  option  may have adverse effects when using the default renderer, jinja|yaml. This is due to the
          fact that YAML requires proper handling in regard to special characters. Please  see  the  section  on
          YAML ASCII support in the YAML Idiosyncracies documentation for more information.

   json_encode_list
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from json_decode_list to json_encode_list. When you encode something you
       get  bytes, and when you decode, you get your locale's encoding (usually a unicode type). This filter was
       incorrectly-named when it was added. json_decode_list will be supported until the 3003 release.

       Deprecated since version 2018.3.3,2019.2.0: The tojson filter accomplishes what this filter was  designed
       to do, making this filter redundant.

       Recursively encodes all string elements of the list to bytes.

       Example:

          {{ [1, 2, 3] | json_encode_list }}

       Returns:

          [1, 2, 3]

   json_encode_dict
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from json_decode_dict to json_encode_dict. When you encode something you
       get  bytes, and when you decode, you get your locale's encoding (usually a unicode type). This filter was
       incorrectly-named when it was added. json_decode_dict will be supported until the 3003 release.

       Deprecated since version 2018.3.3,2019.2.0: The tojson filter accomplishes what this filter was  designed
       to do, making this filter redundant.

       Recursively encodes all string items in the dictionary to bytes.

       Example:

       Assuming that pillar['foo'] contains {u'a': u'\u0414'}, and your locale is en_US.UTF-8:

          {{ pillar['foo'] | json_encode_dict }}

       Returns:

          {"a": "\xd0\x94"}

   tojson
       New in version 2018.3.3,2019.2.0.

       Dumps a data structure to JSON.

       This  filter  was  added  to  provide  this  functionality to hosts which have a Jinja release older than
       version 2.9 installed. If Jinja 2.9 or newer is installed, then the upstream version of the  filter  will
       be used. See the upstream docs for more information.

   random_hash
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from rand_str to random_hash to more accurately describe what the filter
       does.  rand_str  will  be  supported  to  ensure  backwards  compatibility  but  please use the preferred
       random_hash.

       Generates a random number between 1 and the number passed to the filter, and then hashes it. The  default
       hash type is the one specified by the minion's hash_type config option, but an alternate hash type can be
       passed to the filter as an argument.

       Example:

          {% set num_range = 99999999 %}
          {{ num_range | random_hash }}
          {{ num_range | random_hash('sha512') }}

       Returns:

          43ec517d68b6edd3015b3edc9a11367b
          d94a45acd81f8e3107d237dbc0d5d195f6a52a0d188bc0284c0763ece1eac9f9496fb6a531a296074c87b3540398dace1222b42e150e67c9301383fde3d66ae5

   set_dict_key_value
       New in version 3000.

       Allows  you to set a value in a nested dictionary without having to worry if all the nested keys actually
       exist.  Missing keys will be automatically created if they do not exist.  The default delimiter  for  the
       keys is ':', however, with the delimiter-parameter, a different delimiter can be specified.

       Examples:

       Example 1:
              {%- set foo = {} %} {{ foo | set_dict_key_value('bar:baz', 42) }}

       Example 2:
              {{ {} | set_dict_key_value('bar.baz.qux', 42, delimiter='.') }}

       Returns:

       Example 1:
              {'bar': {'baz': 42}}

       Example 2:
              {'bar': {'baz': {'qux': 42}}}

   append_dict_key_value
       New in version 3000.

       Allows  you  to  append to a list nested (deep) in a dictionary without having to worry if all the nested
       keys (or the list itself) actually exist.  Missing keys will automatically be  created  if  they  do  not
       exist.   The  default  delimiter  for the keys is ':', however, with the delimiter-parameter, a different
       delimiter can be specified.

       Examples:

       Example 1:
              {%- set foo = {'bar': {'baz': [1, 2]}} %} {{ foo | append_dict_key_value('bar:baz', 42) }}

       Example 2:
              {%- set foo = {} %} {{ foo | append_dict_key_value('bar:baz:qux', 42) }}

       Returns:

       Example 1:
              {'bar': {'baz': [1, 2, 42]}}

       Example 2:

   extend_dict_key_value
       New in version 3000.

       Allows you to extend a list nested (deep) in a dictionary without having to worry if all the nested  keys
       (or  the  list  itself) actually exist.  Missing keys will automatically be created if they do not exist.
       The default delimiter for the keys is ':', however, with the delimiter-parameter, a  different  delimiter
       can be specified.

       Examples:

       Example 1:
              {%- set foo = {'bar': {'baz': [1, 2]}} %} {{ foo | extend_dict_key_value('bar:baz', [42, 42]) }}

       Example 2:
              {{ {} | extend_dict_key_value('bar:baz:qux', [42]) }}

       Returns:

       Example 1:
              {'bar': {'baz': [1, 2, 42, 42]}}

       Example 2:
              {'bar': {'baz': {'qux': [42]}}}

   update_dict_key_value
       New in version 3000.

       Allows  you to update a dictionary nested (deep) in another dictionary without having to worry if all the
       nested keys actually exist.  Missing keys will automatically be  created  if  they  do  not  exist.   The
       default  delimiter  for the keys is ':', however, with the delimiter-parameter, a different delimiter can
       be specified.

       Examples:

       Example 1:
              {%- set foo = {'bar': {'baz': {'qux': 1}}} %} {{ foo |  update_dict_key_value('bar:baz',  {'quux':
              3}) }}

          {% if 1 is equalto(1) %}
              < statements >
          {% endif %}

       If clause evaluates to True

          {{ [{'value': 1}, {'value': 2} , {'value': 3}] | selectattr('value', 'equalto', 3) | list }}

       Returns:

          [{"value": 3}]

   match

       Allows escaping of strings so they can be interpreted literally by another function.

       Example:

          regex_escape = {{ 'https://example.com?foo=bar%20baz' | regex_escape }}

       will be rendered as:

          regex_escape = https\:\/\/example\.com\?foo\=bar\%20baz

   Set Theory Filters
   unique

       Performs set math using Jinja filters.

       Example:

          unique = {{ ['foo', 'foo', 'bar'] | unique }}

       will be rendered as:

          unique = ['foo', 'bar']

   Jinja in Files
       Jinja can be used in the same way in managed files:

          # redis.sls
          /etc/redis/redis.conf:
              file.managed:
                  - source: salt://redis.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - context:
                      bind: 127.0.0.1

          # lib.sls
          {% set port = 6379 %}

          # redis.conf
          {% from 'lib.sls' import port with context %}
          port {{ port }}
          bind {{ bind }}

       As an example, configuration was pulled from the file context and from an external template file.

       NOTE:
          Macros and variables can be shared across templates. They should not be  starting  with  one  or  more
          underscores,  and  should  be  managed by one of the following tags: macro, set, load_yaml, load_json,
          import_yaml and import_json.

   Escaping Jinja
       Occasionally, it may be necessary to escape Jinja syntax. There are two ways to do this in Jinja. One  is
       escaping individual variables or strings and the other is to escape entire blocks.

       To escape a string commonly used in Jinja syntax such as {{, you can use the following syntax:

          {{ '{{' }}

       For larger blocks that contain Jinja syntax that needs to be escaped, you can use raw blocks:

          {% raw %}
              some text that contains jinja characters that need to be escaped
          {% endraw %}

       See the Escaping section of Jinja's documentation to learn more.

       A  real-word  example  of  needing  to  use  raw  tags  to  escape  a  larger block of code is when using
       file.managed with the contents_pillar option to manage files that contain something like consul-template,
       which shares a syntax subset with Jinja. Raw blocks are necessary here because the Jinja  in  the  pillar
       would be rendered before the file.managed is ever called, so the Jinja syntax must be escaped:

          {% raw %}
          - contents_pillar: |
              job "example-job" {
                <snipped>
                task "example" {

   Calling Salt Functions
       The Jinja renderer provides a shorthand lookup syntax for the salt dictionary of execution function.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

          # The following two function calls are equivalent.
          {{ salt['cmd.run']('whoami') }}
          {{ salt.cmd.run('whoami') }}

   Debugging
       The show_full_context function can be used to output all variables present in the current Jinja context.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

          Context is: {{ show_full_context()|yaml(False) }}

   Logs
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Yes,  in  Salt,  one  is  able to debug a complex Jinja template using the logs.  For example, making the
       call:

          {%- do salt.log.error('testing jinja logging') -%}

       Will insert the following message in the minion logs:

          2017-02-01 01:24:40,728 [salt.module.logmod][ERROR   ][3779] testing jinja logging

   Profiling
       New in version 3002.

       When working with a very large codebase, it becomes increasingly imperative to trace inefficiencies  with
       state  and  pillar  render  times.   The  profile  jinja  block  enables  the user to get finely detailed
       information on the most expensive areas in the codebase.

   Profiling blocks
       Any block of jinja code can be wrapped in a profile block.  The syntax for a profile block is {%  profile
       as '<name>' %}<jinja code>{% endprofile %}, where <name> can be any string.  The <name> token will appear
       in the log at the profile level along with the render time of the block.

          # /srv/salt/example.sls
          {%- profile as 'local data' %}
            {%- set local_data = {'counter': 0} %}
            {%- for i in range(313377) %}
              {%- do local_data.update({'counter': i}) %}
            {%- endfor %}
          {%- endprofile %}

          test:
            cmd.run:
              - name: |-
                  printf 'data: %s' '{{ local_data['counter'] }}'

       The profile block in the example.sls state will emit the following log statement:

          # salt-call --local -l profile state.apply example
          [...]
          [PROFILE ] Time (in seconds) to render profile block 'local data': 0.9385035037994385
          [...]

   Profiling imports
       Using the same logic as the profile block, the import_yaml, import_json, and import_text blocks will emit
       similar statements at the profile log level.

          # /srv/salt/data.sls
          {%- set values = {'counter': 0} %}
          {%- for i in range(524288) %}
            {%- do values.update({'counter': i}) %}
          {%- endfor %}

          data: {{ values['counter'] }}

          # /srv/salt/example.sls
          {%- import_yaml 'data.sls' as imported %}

          test:
            cmd.run:
              - name: |-
                  printf 'data: %s' '{{ imported['data'] }}'

       For import_* blocks, the profile log statement has the following form:

          # salt-call --local -l profile state.apply example
          [...]
          [PROFILE ] Time (in seconds) to render import_yaml 'data.sls': 1.5500736236572266
          [...]

   Python Methods
       A  powerful  feature  of jinja that is only hinted at in the official jinja documentation is that you can
       use the native python methods of the variable type. Here is the python documentation for string methods.

          {% set hostname,domain = grains.id.partition('.')[::2] %}{{ hostname }}

          {% set strings = grains.id.split('-') %}{{ strings[0] }}

   Custom Execution Modules
       Custom execution modules can be used to supplement or replace complex  Jinja.  Many  tasks  that  require
       complex  looping  and  logic  are  trivial  when  using Python in a Salt execution module. Salt execution
       modules are easy to write and distribute to Salt minions.

       Functions in custom execution modules are available in the Salt execution module dictionary just like the
       built-in execution modules:

          {{ salt['my_custom_module.my_custom_function']() }}

       • How to Convert Jinja Logic to an Execution Module

       • Writing Execution Modules

   Custom Jinja filters
       Given that all execution modules are available in the Jinja template, one  can  easily  define  a  custom
       module  as in the previous paragraph and use it as a Jinja filter.  However, please note that it will not
       be accessible through the pipe.

       For example, instead of:

          {{ my_variable | my_jinja_filter }}

       The user will need to define my_jinja_filter function under an extension module, say my_filters  and  use
       as:

          {{ salt.my_filters.my_jinja_filter(my_variable) }}

       The greatest benefit is that you are able to access thousands of existing functions, e.g.:

       • get the DNS AAAA records for a specific address using the dnsutil:

            {{ salt.dnsutil.AAAA('www.google.com') }}

       • retrieve a specific field value from a Redis hash:

            {{ salt.redis.hget('foo_hash', 'bar_field') }}

       • get the routes to 0.0.0.0/0 using the NAPALM route:

            {{ salt.route.show('0.0.0.0/0') }}

   Autoaccept minions from Grains
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       To  automatically  accept minions based on certain characteristics, e.g. the uuid you can specify certain
       grain values on the salt master.  Minions  with  matching  grains  will  have  their  keys  automatically
       accepted.

       1. Configure the autosign_grains_dir in the master config file:

          autosign_grains_dir: /etc/salt/autosign_grains

       2. Configure the grain values to be accepted

       Place a file named like the grain in the autosign_grains_dir and write the values that should be accepted
       automatically  inside that file. For example to automatically accept minions based on their uuid create a
       file named /etc/salt/autosign_grains/uuid:

          8f7d68e2-30c5-40c6-b84a-df7e978a03ee
          1d3c5473-1fbc-479e-b0c7-877705a0730f

       The master is now setup to accept minions with either of the two specified uuids.  Multiple  values  must
       always be written into separate lines.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

       3. Configure the minion to send the specific grains to the master in the minion config file:

          autosign_grains:
            - uuid

       Now you should be able to start salt-minion and run salt-call state.apply or any other salt commands that
       require master authentication.

   Salt as a Cloud Controller
       In Salt 0.14.0, an advanced cloud control system was introduced, allowing private cloud VMs to be managed
       directly with Salt. This system is generally referred to as Salt Virt.

       The  Salt Virt system already exists and is installed within Salt itself. This means that besides setting
       up Salt, no additional salt code needs to be deployed.

       NOTE:
          The libvirt python module and the certtool binary are required.

       The main goal of Salt Virt is to facilitate a very fast and simple cloud that  can  scale  and  is  fully
       featured.  Salt  Virt  comes  with  the  ability to set up and manage complex virtual machine networking,
       powerful image and disk management, and virtual machine migration with and without shared storage.

       This means that Salt Virt can be used to create a cloud from a blade center  and  a  SAN,  but  can  also
       create  a  cloud  out  of a swarm of Linux Desktops without a single shared storage system. Salt Virt can
       make clouds from truly commodity hardware, but can also stand up the power  of  specialized  hardware  as
       well.

   Setting up Hypervisors
       The  first  step to set up the hypervisors involves getting the correct software installed and setting up
       the hypervisor network interfaces.

   Installing Hypervisor Software
       Salt Virt is made to be hypervisor agnostic but currently, the only fully implemented hypervisor  is  KVM
       via libvirt.

       The  required  software for a hypervisor is libvirt and kvm. For advanced features, install libguestfs or
       qemu-nbd.

       NOTE:
          Libguestfs and qemu-nbd allow for virtual  machine  images  to  be  mounted  before  startup  and  get
          pre-seeded with configurations and a salt minion.

       This sls will set up the needed software for a hypervisor, and run the routines to set up the libvirt pki
       keys.

       NOTE:
          Package  names  and  setup  used  is  Red  Hat  specific. Different package names will be required for
          different platforms.

          libvirt:
            pkg.installed: []
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd
              - contents: 'LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen"'
              - require:
                - pkg: libvirt
            virt.keys:
              - require:
                - pkg: libvirt
            service.running:
              - name: libvirtd
              - require:
                - pkg: libvirt
                - network: br0
                - libvirt: libvirt
              - watch:
                - file: libvirt

          libvirt-python:
            pkg.installed: []

          libguestfs:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - libguestfs
                - libguestfs-tools

   Hypervisor Network Setup
       The hypervisors will need to be running a  network  bridge  to  serve  up  network  devices  for  virtual
       machines. This formula will set up a standard bridge on a hypervisor connecting the bridge to eth0:

          eth0:
            network.managed:
              - enabled: True
              - type: eth
              - bridge: br0

          br0:
            network.managed:
              - enabled: True
              - type: bridge
              - proto: dhcp
              - require:
                - network: eth0

   Virtual Machine Network Setup
       Salt  Virt  comes with a system to model the network interfaces used by the deployed virtual machines. By
       default, a single interface is created for the deployed virtual machine and is bridged  to  br0.  To  get
       going  with  the  default  networking  setup,  ensure  that  the bridge interface named br0 exists on the
       hypervisor and is bridged to an active network device.

       NOTE:
          To use more advanced networking in Salt Virt, read the Salt Virt Networking document:

          Salt Virt Networking

   Libvirt State
       One of the challenges of deploying a libvirt based cloud is the  distribution  of  libvirt  certificates.
       These  certificates  allow  for  virtual  machine migration. Salt comes with a system used to auto deploy
       these certificates.  Salt manages the signing authority key and generates keys for libvirt clients on the
       master, signs them with the certificate authority, and uses pillar to distribute them.  This  is  managed
       via  the  libvirt  state.  Simply execute this formula on the minion to ensure that the certificate is in
       place and up to date:

       NOTE:
          The above formula includes the calls needed to set up libvirt keys.

          libvirt_keys:
            virt.keys

   Getting Virtual Machine Images Ready
       Salt Virt requires that virtual machine images be provided  as  these  are  not  generated  on  the  fly.
       Generating these virtual machine images differs greatly based on the underlying platform.

       Virtual  machine  images  can  be  manually created using KVM and running through the installer, but this
       process is not recommended since it is very manual and prone to errors.

       Virtual Machine generation applications are available for many platforms:

       kiwi: (openSUSE, SLES, RHEL, CentOS)
              https://opensuse.github.io/kiwi/

       vm-builder:
              https://wiki.debian.org/VMBuilder

              SEE ALSO:
                 vmbuilder-formula

       Once virtual machine images are available, the easiest way to make them available  to  Salt  Virt  is  to
       place  them  in  the  Salt  file server. Just copy an image into /srv/salt and it can now be used by Salt
       Virt.

       For purposes of this demo, the file name centos.img will be used.

   Existing Virtual Machine Images
       Many existing Linux distributions distribute virtual machine images which can be  used  with  Salt  Virt.
       Please be advised that NONE OF THESE IMAGES ARE SUPPORTED BY SALTSTACK.

   CentOS
       These images have been prepared for OpenNebula but should work without issue with Salt Virt, only the raw
       qcow image file is needed: https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/OpenNebula

   Fedora Linux
       Images for Fedora Linux can be found here: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/cloud

   openSUSE
       https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/jeos/openSUSE-Leap-15.1-JeOS.x86_64-15.1.0-kvm-and-xen-Current.qcow2.meta4

   SUSE
       https://www.suse.com/products/server/jeos

   Ubuntu Linux
       Images for Ubuntu Linux can be found here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/

   Using Salt Virt
       With hypervisors set up and virtual machine images ready, Salt can start issuing cloud commands using the
       virt runner.

       Start by running a Salt Virt hypervisor info command:

          salt-run virt.host_info

       This  will query the running hypervisor(s) for stats and display useful information such as the number of
       CPUs and amount of memory.

       You can also list all VMs and their current states on all hypervisor nodes:

          salt-run virt.list

       Now that hypervisors are available a virtual machine can  be  provisioned,  the  virt.init  routine  will
       create a new virtual machine:

          salt-run virt.init centos1 2 512 salt://centos.img

       The  Salt  Virt  runner  will now automatically select a hypervisor to deploy the new virtual machine on.
       Using salt:// assumes that the CentOS virtual machine image is located in the root of the file-server  on
       the  master.   When  images  are  cloned  (i.e. copied locally after retrieval from the file server), the
       destination directory on the hypervisor minion is determined by the virt:images config option; by default
       this is /srv/salt-images/.

       When a VM is initialized using virt.init, the image is copied to the hypervisor using  cp.cache_file  and
       will  be  mounted  and  seeded with a minion.  Seeding includes setting pre-authenticated keys on the new
       machine. A minion will only be installed if one can not be found on the image using the default arguments
       to seed.apply.

       NOTE:
          The biggest bottleneck in starting VMs is when the Salt Minion needs to be installed. Making sure that
          the source VM images already have Salt installed will GREATLY speed up virtual machine deployment.

       You can also deploy an image on a particular minion by directly calling the virt execution module with an
       absolute image path. This can be quite handy for testing:

          salt 'hypervisor*' virt.init centos1 2 512 image=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos.img

       Now that the new VM has been prepared, it can be seen via the virt.query command:

          salt-run virt.query

       This command will return data about all of the hypervisors and respective virtual machines.

       Now that the new VM is booted, it should have contacted the Salt Master. A test.ping will reveal  if  the
       new VM is running.

   QEMU Copy on Write Support
       For  fast  image cloning, you can use the qcow disk image format.  Pass the enable_qcow flag and a .qcow2
       image path to virt.init:

          salt 'hypervisor*' virt.init centos1 2 512 image=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos.qcow2 enable_qcow=True start=False

       NOTE:
          Beware that attempting to boot a qcow image too quickly after cloning can result in a  race  condition
          where  libvirt  may try to boot the machine before image seeding has completed. For that reason, it is
          recommended to also pass start=False to virt.init.

          Also know that you must not modify the original base image  without  first  making  a  copy  and  then
          rebasing all overlay images onto it.  See the qemu-img rebase usage docs.

   Migrating Virtual Machines
       Salt  Virt  comes  with  full support for virtual machine migration. Using the libvirt state in the above
       formula makes migration possible.

       A few things need to be available to support migration. Many operating systems  turn  on  firewalls  when
       originally  set  up; the firewall needs to be opened up to allow for libvirt and kvm to cross communicate
       and execution migration routines. On Red Hat based hypervisors in particular,  port  16514  needs  to  be
       opened on hypervisors:

          iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 16514 -j ACCEPT

       NOTE:
          More in-depth information regarding distribution specific firewall settings can be found in:

          Opening the Firewall up for Salt

       Salt  also  needs the virt:tunnel option to be turned on. This flag tells Salt to run migrations securely
       via the libvirt TLS tunnel and to use port 16514.  Without virt:tunnel, libvirt tries to bind  to  random
       ports when running migrations.

       To turn on virt:tunnel, simply apply it to the master config file:

          virt:
              tunnel: True

       Once the master config has been updated, restart the master and send out a call to the minions to refresh
       the pillar to pick up on the change:

          salt \* saltutil.refresh_modules

       Now, migration routines can be run! To migrate a VM, simply run the Salt Virt migrate routine:

          salt-run virt.migrate centos <new hypervisor>

   VNC Consoles
       Although  not  enabled  by  default,  Salt  Virt  can also set up VNC consoles allowing for remote visual
       consoles to be opened up. When creating a new VM using virt.init, pass the enable_vnc=True  parameter  to
       have a console configured for the new VM.

       The information from a virt.query routine will display the VNC console port for the specific VMs:

          centos
            CPU: 2
            Memory: 524288
            State: running
            Graphics: vnc - hyper6:5900
            Disk - vda:
              Size: 2.0G
              File: /srv/salt-images/ubuntu2/system.qcow2
              File Format: qcow2
            Nic - ac:de:48:98:08:77:
              Source: br0
              Type: bridge

       The line Graphics: vnc - hyper6:5900 holds the key. First the port named, in this case 5900, will need to
       be  available in the hypervisor's firewall.  Once the port is open, then the console can be easily opened
       via vncviewer:

          vncviewer hyper6:5900

       By default there is no VNC security set up on these ports, which suggests that  keeping  them  firewalled
       and  mandating  that  SSH tunnels be used to access these VNC interfaces. Keep in mind that activity on a
       VNC interface that is accessed can be viewed by any other user that accesses that same VNC interface, and
       any other user logging in can also operate with the logged in user on the virtual machine.

   Conclusion
       Now with Salt Virt running, new hypervisors can be seamlessly added just by running the above  states  on
       new bare metal machines, and these machines will be instantly available to Salt Virt.

   Running Salt States and Commands in Docker Containers
       The  2016.11.0  release  of  Salt introduces the ability to execute Salt States and Salt remote execution
       commands directly inside of Docker containers.

       This addition makes it possible to not only deploy fresh containers using Salt States. This  also  allows
       for  running  containers  to be audited and modified using Salt, but without running a Salt Minion inside
       the container.  Some of the applications include  security  audits  of  running  containers  as  well  as
       gathering operating data from containers.

       This  new feature is simple and straightforward, and can be used via a running Salt Minion, the Salt Call
       command, or via Salt SSH. For this tutorial we will use the salt-call command, but like all salt commands
       these calls are directly translatable to salt and salt-ssh.

   Step 1 - Install Docker
       Since setting up Docker is well covered in the Docker documentation  we  will  make  no  such  effort  to
       describe  it here. Please see the Docker Installation Documentation for installing and setting up Docker:
       https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/

       The Docker integration also requires that the docker-py library is installed.  This can  easily  be  done
       using pip or via your system package manager:

          pip install docker-py

   Step 2 - Install Salt
       For  this  tutorial  we  will  be  using Salt Call, which is available in the salt-minion package, please
       follow the Salt Installation docs found here: https://repo.saltproject.io/

   Step 3 - Create With Salt States
       Next some Salt States are needed, for this example a very basic state which installs  vim  is  used,  but
       anything  Salt  States can do can be done here, please see the Salt States Introduction Tutorial to learn
       more about Salt States: https://docs.saltproject.io/en/stage/getstarted/config/

       For this tutorial, simply create a small state file in /srv/salt/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

       NOTE:
          The base image you choose will need to have python 2.6 or 2.7 installed.  We  are  hoping  to  resolve
          this constraint in a future release.

          If  base is omitted the default image used is a minimal openSUSE image with Python support, maintained
          by SUSE

       Next run the docker.sls_build command:

          salt-call --local dockerng.sls_build test base=my_base_image mods=vim

       Now we have a fresh image called test to work with and vim has been installed.

   Step 4 - Running Commands Inside the Container
       Salt can now run remote execution functions inside the container with another simple salt-call command:

          salt-call --local dockerng.call test test.version
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test network.interfaces
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test disk.usage
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test pkg.list_pkgs
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test service.running httpd
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test cmd.run 'ls -l /etc'

   Automatic Updates / Frozen Deployments
       New in version 0.10.3.d.

       Salt has support for the Esky application freezing and update tool. This  tool  allows  one  to  build  a
       complete zipfile out of the salt scripts and all their dependencies - including shared objects / DLLs.

   Getting Started
       To  build  frozen  applications,  suitable build environment will be needed for each platform. You should
       probably set up a virtualenv in order to limit the scope of Q/A.

       This     process     does      work      on      Windows.      Directions      are      available      at
       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-windows-install  for  details  on  installing Salt in Windows. Only the
       32-bit Python and dependencies have been tested, but they have been tested on 64-bit Windows.

       Install bbfreeze, and then esky from PyPI in order to enable the bdist_esky  command  in  setup.py.  Salt
       itself must also be installed, in addition to its dependencies.

   Building and Freezing
       Once  you  have  your  tools  installed  and  the  environment  configured,  use  setup.py to prepare the
       distribution files.

          python setup.py sdist
          python setup.py bdist

       Once the distribution files are in place, Esky can be used traverse the module  tree  and  pack  all  the
       scripts up into a redistributable.

          python setup.py bdist_esky

       There will be an appropriately versioned salt-VERSION.zip in dist/ if everything went smoothly.

   Windows
       C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\zmq  will  need  to be added to the PATH variable. This helps bbfreeze find
       the zmq DLL so it can pack it up.

   Using the Frozen Build
       Unpack the zip file in the desired install location. Scripts like salt-minion and salt-call  will  be  in
       the  root  of  the zip file. The associated libraries and bootstrapping will be in the directories at the
       same level. (Check the Esky documentation for more information)

       To support updating your minions in the wild, put the builds on a web server that the minions can  reach.
       salt.modules.saltutil.update()  will  trigger  an update and (optionally) a restart of the minion service
       under the new version.

   Troubleshooting
   A Windows minion isn't responding
       The process dispatch on Windows is slower than it is on *nix. It may be necessary to add '-t 15' to  salt
       commands to give minions plenty of time to return.

   Windows and the Visual Studio Redist
       The  Visual C++ 2008 32-bit redistributable will need to be installed on all Windows minions. Esky has an
       option to pack the library into the zipfile, but OpenSSL does not seem to acknowledge the  new  location.
       If  a  no  OPENSSL_Applink  error  appears  on  the  console  when  trying  to start a frozen minion, the
       redistributable is not installed.

   Mixed Linux environments and Yum
       The Yum Python module doesn't appear to be available on any of the standard Python  package  mirrors.  If
       RHEL/CentOS systems need to be supported, the frozen build should created on that platform to support all
       the  Linux  nodes. Remember to build the virtualenv with --system-site-packages so that the yum module is
       included.

   Automatic (Python) module discovery
       Automatic (Python) module discovery does not work with the late-loaded scheme that Salt uses  for  (Salt)
       modules.  Any  misbehaving  modules  will  need  to be explicitly added to the freezer_includes in Salt's
       setup.py.  Always check the zipped application to make sure that the necessary modules were included.

   ESXi Proxy Minion
       New in version 2015.8.4.

       NOTE:
          This tutorial assumes basic knowledge of Salt. To get up to speed, check out the Salt Walkthrough.

          This tutorial also assumes a basic understanding of Salt Proxy  Minions.  If  you're  unfamiliar  with
          Salt's  Proxy Minion system, please read the Salt Proxy Minion documentation and the Salt Proxy Minion
          End-to-End Example tutorial.

          The third assumption that this tutorial makes is that you also have  a  basic  understanding  of  ESXi
          hosts. You can learn more about ESXi hosts on VMware's various resources.

       Salt's  ESXi  Proxy  Minion allows a VMware ESXi host to be treated as an individual Salt Minion, without
       installing a Salt Minion on the ESXi host.

       Since an ESXi host may not necessarily run on an OS capable of hosting a  Python  stack,  the  ESXi  host
       can't  run  a  regular  Salt Minion directly. Therefore, Salt's Proxy Minion functionality enables you to
       designate another machine to host a proxy process that "proxies" communication from the  Salt  Master  to
       the ESXi host.  The master does not know or care that the ESXi target is not a "real" Salt Minion.

       More  in-depth  conceptual  reading  on  Proxy Minions can be found in the Proxy Minion section of Salt's
       documentation.

       Salt's ESXi Proxy Minion was added in the 2015.8.4 release of Salt.

       NOTE:
          Be aware that some functionality for the ESXi Proxy Minion may depend on the type of license  attached
          the ESXi host(s).

          For example, certain services are only available to manipulate service state or policies with a VMware
          vSphere Enterprise or Enterprise Plus license, while others are available with a Standard license. The
          ntpd  service  is  restricted  to  an Enterprise Plus license, while ssh is available via the Standard
          license.

          Please see the vSphere Comparison page for more information.

   Dependencies
       Manipulation of the ESXi host via a Proxy Minion requires the machine running the Proxy Minion process to
       have the ESXCLI package (and all of its dependencies) and the pyVmomi Python Library to be installed.

   ESXi Password
       The ESXi Proxy Minion uses VMware's API to perform tasks on the host as if it was a regular Salt  Minion.
       In  order  to access the API that is already running on the ESXi host, the ESXi host must have a username
       and password that is used to log into the host. The username is usually root. Before Salt can access  the
       ESXi host via VMware's API, a default password must be set on the host.

   pyVmomi
       The  pyVmomi  Python  library must be installed on the machine that is running the proxy process. pyVmomi
       can be installed via pip:

          pip install pyVmomi

       NOTE:
          Version 6.0 of pyVmomi has some problems with SSL error handling on certain  versions  of  Python.  If
          using version 6.0 of pyVmomi, the machine that you are running the proxy minion process from must have
          either  Python  2.6, Python 2.7.9, or newer. This is due to an upstream dependency in pyVmomi 6.0 that
          is not supported in Python version 2.7 to 2.7.8. If the version of Python running the proxy process is
          not in the supported range, you will need to install an earlier version of pyVmomi. See  Issue  #29537
          for more information.

       Based  on  the  note above, to install an earlier version of pyVmomi than the version currently listed in
       PyPi, run the following:

          pip install pyVmomi==5.5.0.2014.1.1

       The 5.5.0.2014.1.1 is a known stable version that the original ESXi Proxy Minion was developed against.

   ESXCLI
       Currently, about a third of the functions used for the ESXi Proxy Minion require the  ESXCLI  package  be
       installed on the machine running the Proxy Minion process.

       The  ESXCLI  package is also referred to as the VMware vSphere CLI, or vCLI. VMware provides vCLI package
       installation instructions for vSphere 5.5 and vSphere 6.0.

       Once all of the required dependencies are in place and the vCLI package is installed, you  can  check  to
       see if you can connect to your ESXi host by running the following command:

          esxcli -s <host-location> -u <username> -p <password> system syslog config get

       If  the  connection  was  successful,  ESXCLI  was successfully installed on your system.  You should see
       output related to the ESXi host's syslog configuration.

   Configuration
       There are several places where various configuration values need to be set in order for  the  ESXi  Proxy
       Minion to run and connect properly.

   Proxy Config File
       On  the  machine that will be running the Proxy Minion process(es), a proxy config file must be in place.
       This file should be located in the /etc/salt/ directory and should be named proxy. If  the  file  is  not
       there by default, create it.

       This file should contain the location of your Salt Master that the Salt Proxy will connect to.

       Example Proxy Config File:

          # /etc/salt/proxy

          master: <salt-master-location>

   Pillar Profiles
       Proxy  minions get their configuration from Salt's Pillar. Every proxy must have a stanza in Pillar and a
       reference in the Pillar top-file that matches the Proxy ID. At a minimum for communication with the  ESXi
       host, the pillar should look like this:

          proxy:
            proxytype: esxi
            host: <ip or dns name of esxi host>
            username: <ESXi username>
            passwords:
              - first_password
              - second_password
              - third_password

       Some other optional settings are protocol and port. These can be added to the pillar configuration.

   proxytype
       The  proxytype  key  and  value pair is critical, as it tells Salt which interface to load from the proxy
       directory in Salt's install hierarchy, or from /srv/salt/_proxy on the Salt Master (if you  have  created
       your own proxy module, for example). To use this ESXi Proxy Module, set this to esxi.

   host
       The location, or ip/dns, of the ESXi host. Required.

   username
       The username used to login to the ESXi host, such as root. Required.

   passwords
       A  list  of passwords to be used to try and login to the ESXi host. At least one password in this list is
       required.

       The proxy integration will try the passwords listed in order. It is configured this way so you can have a
       regular  password  and  the  password  you  may  be  updating  for  an   ESXi   host   either   via   the
       vsphere.update_host_password  execution  module function or via the esxi.password_present state function.
       This way, after the password is changed, you should not need to restart the proxy minion--it should  just
       pick  up  the new password provided in the list. You can then change pillar at will to move that password
       to the front and retire the unused ones.

       Use-case/reasoning for using a list of passwords: You are setting up an ESXi host for the first time, and
       the host comes with a default password.  You know that you'll  be  changing  this  password  during  your
       initial setup from the default to a new password. If you only have one password option, and if you have a
       state  changing  the password, any remote execution commands or states that run after the password change
       will not be able to run on the host until the password is updated in Pillar and the Proxy Minion  process
       is restarted.

       This allows you to use any number of potential fallback passwords.

       NOTE:
          When  a  password is changed on the host to one in the list of possible passwords, the further down on
          the list the password is, the longer individual commands will take to  return.  This  is  due  to  the
          nature of pyVmomi's login system. We have to wait for the first attempt to fail before trying the next
          password on the list.

          This  scenario is especially true, and even slower, when the proxy minion first starts. If the correct
          password is not the first password on the list, it may take up to a minute for test.version to respond
          with salt's version installed (Example: 2018.3.4. Once the  initial  authorization  is  complete,  the
          responses for commands will be a little faster.

          To  avoid these longer waiting periods, SaltStack recommends moving the correct password to the top of
          the list and restarting the proxy minion at your earliest convenience.

   protocol
       If the ESXi host is not using the default protocol, set this value to an alternate protocol.  Default  is
       https. For example:

   port
       If the ESXi host is not using the default port, set this value to an alternate port. Default is 443.

   Example Configuration Files
       An  example  of all of the basic configurations that need to be in place before starting the Proxy Minion
       processes includes the Proxy Config File, Pillar Top File, and any individual Proxy Minion Pillar files.

       In this example, we'll assuming there are two ESXi hosts to connect to. Therefore, we'll be creating  two
       Proxy Minion config files, one config for each ESXi host.

       Proxy Config File:

          # /etc/salt/proxy

          master: <salt-master-location>

       Pillar Top File:

          # /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            'esxi-1':
              - esxi-1
            'esxi-2':
              - esxi-2

       Pillar Config File for the first ESXi host, esxi-1:

          # /srv/pillar/esxi-1.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: esxi
            host: esxi-1.example.com
            username: 'root'
            passwords:
              - bad-password-1
              - backup-bad-password-1

       Pillar Config File for the second ESXi host, esxi-2:

          # /srv/pillar/esxi-2.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: esxi
            host: esxi-2.example.com
            username: 'root'
            passwords:
              - bad-password-2
              - backup-bad-password-2

   Starting the Proxy Minion
       Once all of the correct configuration files are in place, it is time to start the proxy processes!

       1. First, make sure your Salt Master is running.

       2. Start  the first Salt Proxy, in debug mode, by giving the Proxy Minion process and ID that matches the
          config file name created in the Configuration section.

          salt-proxy --proxyid='esxi-1' -l debug

       1. Accept the esxi-1 Proxy Minion's key on the Salt Master:

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-1
          Rejected Keys:
          #
          # salt-key -a esxi-1
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-1
          Proceed? [n/Y] y
          Key for minion esxi-1 accepted.

       1. Repeat for the second Salt Proxy, this time we'll run the proxy process as a daemon, as an example.

          salt-proxy --proxyid='esxi-2' -d

       1. Accept the esxi-2 Proxy Minion's key on the Salt Master:

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          esxi-1
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-2
          Rejected Keys:
          #
          # salt-key -a esxi-1
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-2
          Proceed? [n/Y] y
          Key for minion esxi-1 accepted.

       1. Check and see if your Proxy Minions are responding:

          # salt 'esxi-*' test.version
          esxi-1:
              True
          esxi-3:
              True

   Executing Commands
       Now that you've configured your Proxy Minions and have them responding successfully to a test.version, we
       can start executing commands against the ESXi hosts via Salt.

       It's important to understand how this particular proxy works, and there are a couple of important  pieces
       to  be aware of in order to start running remote execution and state commands against the ESXi host via a
       Proxy Minion: the vSphere Execution Module, the ESXi Execution Module, and the ESXi State Module.

   vSphere Execution Module
       The Salt.modules.vsphere is a standard Salt execution module that does the bulk of the work for the  ESXi
       Proxy  Minion.  If  you pull up the docs for it you'll see that almost every function in the module takes
       credentials (username and password) and a target host  argument.  When  credentials  and  a  host  aren't
       passed,  Salt runs commands through pyVmomi or ESXCLI against the local machine. If you wanted, you could
       run functions from this module on any machine where an appropriate version  of  pyVmomi  and  ESXCLI  are
       installed, and that machine would reach out over the network and communicate with the ESXi host.

       You'll  notice  that  most of the functions in the vSphere module require a host, username, and password.
       These parameters are contained in the Pillar files and passed through  to  the  function  via  the  proxy
       process  that  is  already  running.  You  don't  need  to  provide these parameters when you execute the
       commands. See the Running Remote Execution Commands section below for an example.

   ESXi Execution Module
       In order for the Pillar information set up in the  Configuration  section  above  to  be  passed  to  the
       function  call  in  the vSphere Execution Module, the salt.modules.esxi execution module acts as a "shim"
       between the vSphere execution module functions and the proxy process.

       The "shim" takes the authentication credentials specified in the Pillar files and passes them through  to
       the  host,  username,  password, and optional protocol and port options required by the vSphere Execution
       Module functions.

       If the function takes more positional, or keyword, arguments you can append them to the call.  It's  this
       shim  that  speaks  to  the ESXi host through the proxy, arranging for the credentials and hostname to be
       pulled from the Pillar section for the ESXi Proxy Minion.

       Because of the presence of the shim, to lookup documentation for what functions you can use to  interface
       with the ESXi host, you'll want to look in salt.modules.vsphere instead of salt.modules.esxi.

   Running Remote Execution Commands
       To  run  commands  from the Salt Master to execute, via the ESXi Proxy Minion, against the ESXi host, you
       use the esxi.cmd <vsphere-function-name> syntax to  call  functions  located  in  the  vSphere  Execution
       Module. Both args and kwargs needed for various vsphere execution module functions must be passed through
       in a kwarg- type manor. For example:

          salt 'esxi-*' esxi.cmd system_info
          salt 'exsi-*' esxi.cmd get_service_running service_name='ssh'

   ESXi State Module
       The  ESXi  State  Module  functions  similarly  to  other  state modules. The "shim" provided by the ESXi
       Execution Module passes the necessary host, username, and password credentials through, so those  options
       don't  need  to be provided in the state. Other than that, state files are written and executed just like
       any other Salt state. See the salt.modules.esxi state for ESXi state functions.

       The follow state file is an example of how to configure various pieces of an ESXi host including enabling
       SSH, uploading and SSH key, configuring  a  coredump  network  config,  syslog,  ntp,  enabling  VMotion,
       resetting a host password, and more.

          salt 'esxi-*' state.sls configure-esxi

   HTTP Modules
       This  tutorial  demonstrates  using  the  various HTTP modules available in Salt.  These modules wrap the
       Python tornado, urllib2, and requests libraries, extending them in a manner that is more consistent  with
       Salt workflows.

   The salt.utils.http Library
       This  library  forms  the core of the HTTP modules. Since it is designed to be used from the minion as an
       execution module, in addition to the master as a runner, it was abstracted into this  multi-use  library.
       This  library  can  also  be  imported  by  3rd-party  programs wishing to take advantage of its extended
       functionality.

       Core functionality of the execution, state, and runner modules is derived from this  library,  so  common
       usages between them are described here. Documentation specific to each module is described below.

       This library can be imported with:

          import salt.utils.http

   Configuring Libraries
       This library can make use of either tornado, which is required by Salt, urllib2, which ships with Python,
       or  requests,  which can be installed separately. By default, tornado will be used. In order to switch to
       urllib2, set the following variable:

          backend: urllib2

       In order to switch to requests, set the following variable:

          backend: requests

       This can be set in the master or minion configuration file, or  passed  as  an  option  directly  to  any
       http.query() functions.

   salt.utils.http.query()
       This  function  forms  a  basic  query,  but  with  some add-ons not present in the tornado, urllib2, and
       requests libraries. Not all functionality currently available in these libraries has been added, but  can
       be in future iterations.

   HTTPS Request Methods
       A basic query can be performed by calling this function with no more than a single URL:

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com")

       By  default  the  query will be performed with a GET method. The method can be overridden with the method
       argument:

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com/delete/url", "DELETE")

       When using the POST method (and others, such as PUT), extra data is usually sent as well. This  data  can
       be  sent  directly (would be URL encoded when necessary), or in whatever format is required by the remote
       server (XML, JSON, plain text, etc).

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url", method="POST", data=json.dumps(mydict)
          )

   Data Formatting and Templating
       Bear in mind that the data must be sent pre-formatted; this function will not format it for you. However,
       a templated file stored on the local system may be passed through, along with variables  to  populate  it
       with. To pass through only the file (untemplated):

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url", method="POST", data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.xml"
          )

       To pass through a file that contains jinja + yaml templating (the default):

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.jinja",
              data_render=True,
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
          )

       To pass through a file that contains mako templating:

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.mako",
              data_render=True,
              data_renderer="mako",
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
          )

       Because  this  function  uses  Salt's own rendering system, any Salt renderer can be used. Because Salt's
       renderer requires __opts__ to be set, an opts dictionary should be passed in. If  it  is  not,  then  the
       default  __opts__  values  for  the  node  type  (master or minion) will be used. Because this library is
       intended primarily for use by minions, the default node type is minion.  However, this can be changed  to
       master if necessary.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.jinja",
              data_render=True,
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
              opts=__opts__,
          )

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.jinja",
              data_render=True,
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
              node="master",
          )

   Headers
       Headers  may also be passed through, either as a header_list, a header_dict, or as a header_file. As with
       the data_file, the header_file may also be templated. Take note that because HTTP  headers  are  normally
       syntactically-correct YAML, they will automatically be imported as an a Python dict.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/delete/url",
              method="POST",
              header_file="/srv/salt/headers.jinja",
              header_render=True,
              header_renderer="jinja",
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
          )

       Because  much  of  the  data  that  would  be  templated  between  headers  and data may be the same, the
       template_dict is the same for both. Correcting possible variable name collisions is up to the user.

   Authentication
       The query() function supports basic HTTP authentication. A username and password  may  be  passed  in  as
       username and password, respectively.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", username="larry", password="5700g3543v4r")

   Cookies and Sessions
       Cookies  are  also supported, using Python's built-in cookielib. However, they are turned off by default.
       To turn cookies on, set cookies to True.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", cookies=True)

       By default cookies are stored in Salt's cache directory,  normally  /var/cache/salt,  as  a  file  called
       cookies.txt. However, this location may be changed with the cookie_jar argument:

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com", cookies=True, cookie_jar="/path/to/cookie_jar.txt"
          )

       By  default,  the format of the cookie jar is LWP (aka, lib-www-perl). This default was chosen because it
       is a human-readable text file. If desired, the format of the cookie jar can be set to Mozilla:

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com",
              cookies=True,
              cookie_jar="/path/to/cookie_jar.txt",
              cookie_format="mozilla",
          )

       Because Salt commands are normally one-off commands that are piped together, this library cannot normally
       behave as a normal browser, with session cookies that persist across multiple HTTP requests. However, the
       session can be persisted in a separate cookie jar. The default filename  for  this  file,  inside  Salt's
       cache directory, is cookies.session.p. This can also be changed.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com", persist_session=True, session_cookie_jar="/path/to/jar.p"
          )

       The  format  of  this  file  is  msgpack,  which  is  consistent with much of the rest of Salt's internal
       structure. Historically, the extension for this file is .p. There are  no  current  plans  to  make  this
       configurable.

   Proxy
       If  the  tornado  backend  is  used (tornado is the default), proxy information configured in proxy_host,
       proxy_port, proxy_username, proxy_password and no_proxy  from  the  __opts__  dictionary  will  be  used.
       Normally these are set in the minion configuration file.

          proxy_host: proxy.my-domain
          proxy_port: 31337
          proxy_username: charon
          proxy_password: obolus
          no_proxy: ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost']

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", opts=__opts__, backend="tornado")

   Return Data
       NOTE:
          Return data encoding

          If  decode  is  set  to  True, query() will attempt to decode the return data. decode_type defaults to
          auto.  Set it to a specific encoding, xml, for example, to override autodetection.

       Because Salt's http library was designed to be used with REST interfaces, query() will attempt to  decode
       the  data  received  from  the  remote  server  when  decode  is  set  to  True.  First it will check the
       Content-type header to try and find references to XML. If  it  does  not  find  any,  it  will  look  for
       references to JSON. If it does not find any, it will fall back to plain text, which will not be decoded.

       JSON  data  is  translated  into  a  dict  using Python's built-in json library.  XML is translated using
       salt.utils.xml_util, which will use Python's built-in XML libraries to attempt to convert the XML into  a
       dict. In order to force either JSON or XML decoding, the decode_type may be set:

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", decode_type="xml")

       Once translated, the return dict from query() will include a dict called dict.

       If the data is not to be translated using one of these methods, decoding may be turned off.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", decode=False)

       If decoding is turned on, and references to JSON or XML cannot be found, then this module will default to
       plain text, and return the undecoded data as text (even if text is set to False; see below).

       The  query()  function  can  return the HTTP status code, headers, and/or text as required. However, each
       must individually be turned on.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", status=True, headers=True, text=True)

       The return from these will be found in the return dict as status, headers and text, respectively.

   Writing Return Data to Files
       It is possible to write either the return data or headers to files, as soon as the response  is  received
       from  the  server,  but  specifying  file  locations  via the text_out or headers_out arguments. text and
       headers do not need to be returned to the user in order to do this.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com",
              text=False,
              headers=False,
              text_out="/path/to/url_download.txt",
              headers_out="/path/to/headers_download.txt",
          )

   SSL Verification
       By default, this function will verify SSL certificates. However, for testing or debugging  purposes,  SSL
       verification can be turned off.

          salt.utils.http.query("https://example.com", verify_ssl=False)

   CA Bundles
       The requests library has its own method of detecting which CA (certificate authority) bundle file to use.
       Usually  this  is implemented by the packager for the specific operating system distribution that you are
       using. However, urllib2 requires a little more work  under  the  hood.  By  default,  Salt  will  try  to
       auto-detect the location of this file. However, if it is not in an expected location, or a different path
       needs to be specified, it may be done so using the ca_bundle variable.

          salt.utils.http.query("https://example.com", ca_bundle="/path/to/ca_bundle.pem")

   Updating CA Bundles
       The  update_ca_bundle()  function  can  be used to update the bundle file at a specified location. If the
       target location is not specified, then it will attempt to auto-detect the location of the bundle file. If
       the URL to download the bundle from does not exist, a bundle will be downloaded from the cURL website.

       CAUTION: The target and the source should always be specified! Failure to specify the target  may  result
       in  the  file  being written to the wrong location on the local system. Failure to specify the source may
       cause the upstream URL to receive excess unnecessary traffic, and may cause a file to be  download  which
       is hazardous or does not meet the needs of the user.

          salt.utils.http.update_ca_bundle(
              target="/path/to/ca-bundle.crt",
              source="https://example.com/path/to/ca-bundle.crt",
              opts=__opts__,
          )

       The  opts  parameter  should  also  always  be specified. If it is, then the target and the source may be
       specified in the  relevant  configuration  file  (master  or  minion)  as  ca_bundle  and  ca_bundle_url,
       respectively.

          ca_bundle: /path/to/ca-bundle.crt
          ca_bundle_url: https://example.com/path/to/ca-bundle.crt

       If Salt is unable to auto-detect the location of the CA bundle, it will raise an error.

       The update_ca_bundle() function can also be passed a string or a list of strings which represent files on
       the  local  system,  which  should be appended (in the specified order) to the end of the CA bundle file.
       This is useful in environments where private certs need to be  made  available,  and  are  not  otherwise
       reasonable to add to the bundle file.

          salt.utils.http.update_ca_bundle(
              opts=__opts__,
              merge_files=[
                  "/etc/ssl/private_cert_1.pem",
                  "/etc/ssl/private_cert_2.pem",
                  "/etc/ssl/private_cert_3.pem",
              ],
          )

   Test Mode
       This  function may be run in test mode. This mode will perform all work up until the actual HTTP request.
       By default, instead of performing the request, an empty dict will be returned. Using this  function  with
       TRACE logging turned on will reveal the contents of the headers and POST data to be sent.

       Rather  than  returning an empty dict, an alternate test_url may be passed in.  If this is detected, then
       test mode will replace the url with the test_url, set test to True in the return data,  and  perform  the
       rest  of  the  requested  operations  as  usual. This allows a custom, non-destructive URL to be used for
       testing when necessary.

   Execution Module
       The http execution module is a very thin wrapper around the salt.utils.http  library.  The  opts  can  be
       passed through as well, but if they are not specified, the minion defaults will be used as necessary.

       Because  passing  complete  data structures from the command line can be tricky at best and dangerous (in
       terms of execution injection attacks) at worse, the data_file, and header_file are likely to see more use
       here.

       All methods for the library are available in the execution module, as kwargs.

          salt myminion http.query http://example.com/restapi method=POST \
              username='larry' password='5700g3543v4r' headers=True text=True \
              status=True decode_type=xml data_render=True \
              header_file=/tmp/headers.txt data_file=/tmp/data.txt \
              header_render=True cookies=True persist_session=True

   Runner Module
       Like the execution module, the http runner module is a  very  thin  wrapper  around  the  salt.utils.http
       library.  The  only  significant  difference  is  that because runners execute on the master instead of a
       minion, a target is not required, and default opts will be derived from the master  config,  rather  than
       the minion config.

       All methods for the library are available in the runner module, as kwargs.

          salt-run http.query http://example.com/restapi method=POST \
              username='larry' password='5700g3543v4r' headers=True text=True \
              status=True decode_type=xml data_render=True \
              header_file=/tmp/headers.txt data_file=/tmp/data.txt \
              header_render=True cookies=True persist_session=True

   State Module
       The  state  module  is  a  wrapper around the runner module, which applies stateful logic to a query. All
       kwargs as listed above are specified as usual in state files, but two more kwargs are available to  apply
       stateful  logic. A required parameter is match, which specifies a pattern to look for in the return text.
       By default, this will perform a string comparison of looking for the value of match in the  return  text.
       In Python terms this looks like:

          def myfunc():
              if match in html_text:
                  return True

       If  more  complex  pattern  matching  is  required,  a  regular  expression  can  be used by specifying a
       match_type. By default this is set to string, but it can be manually set to  pcre  instead.  Please  note
       that despite the name, this will use Python's re.search() rather than re.match().

       Therefore, the following states are valid:

          http://example.com/restapi:
            http.query:
              - match: 'SUCCESS'
              - username: 'larry'
              - password: '5700g3543v4r'
              - data_render: True
              - header_file: /tmp/headers.txt
              - data_file: /tmp/data.txt
              - header_render: True
              - cookies: True
              - persist_session: True

          http://example.com/restapi:
            http.query:
              - match_type: pcre
              - match: '(?i)succe[ss|ed]'
              - username: 'larry'
              - password: '5700g3543v4r'
              - data_render: True
              - header_file: /tmp/headers.txt
              - data_file: /tmp/data.txt
              - header_render: True
              - cookies: True
              - persist_session: True

       In  addition  to,  or  instead of a match pattern, the status code for a URL can be checked. This is done
       using the status argument:

          http://example.com/:
            http.query:
              - status: 200

       If both are specified, both will be checked, but if only one is True and the other is False,  then  False
       will  be  returned.  In  this  case,  the  comments  in  the  return  data  will  contain information for
       troubleshooting.

       Because this is a monitoring state, it will return extra data to code that expects  it.  This  data  will
       always include text and status. Optionally, headers and dict may also be requested by setting the headers
       and decode arguments to True, respectively.

   Using Salt at scale
       The  focus of this tutorial will be building a Salt infrastructure for handling large numbers of minions.
       This will include tuning, topology, and best practices.

       For how to install the Salt Master please go here: Installing saltstack

       NOTE:
          This tutorial is intended for large installations, although these same settings won't hurt, it may not
          be worth the complexity to smaller installations.

          When used with minions, the term 'many' refers to at least a thousand and 'a few' always means 500.

          For simplicity reasons, this tutorial will default to the standard ports used by Salt.

   The Master
       The most common problems on the Salt Master are:

       1. too many minions authing at once

       2. too many minions re-authing at once

       3. too many minions re-connecting at once

       4. too many minions returning at once

       5. too few resources (CPU/HDD)

       The first three are all "thundering herd" problems. To  mitigate  these  issues  we  must  configure  the
       minions to back-off appropriately when the Master is under heavy load.

       The  fourth  is  caused  by  masters with little hardware resources in combination with a possible bug in
       ZeroMQ. At least that's what it looks like till today (Issue 118651, Issue 5948, Mail thread)

       To fully understand each problem, it is important to understand, how Salt works.

       Very briefly, the Salt Master offers two services to the minions.

       • a job publisher on port 4505

       • an open port 4506 to receive the minions returns

       All minions are always connected to the publisher on port 4505 and only connect to the open  return  port
       4506 if necessary. On an idle Master, there will only be connections on port 4505.

   Too many minions authing
       When  the  Minion service is first started up, it will connect to its Master's publisher on port 4505. If
       too many minions are started at once, this can cause a "thundering herd".  This can  be  avoided  by  not
       starting too many minions at once.

       The  connection  itself  usually  isn't  the  culprit, the more likely cause of master-side issues is the
       authentication that the Minion must do with the Master. If the Master is too heavily loaded to handle the
       auth request it will  time  it  out.  The  Minion  will  then  wait  acceptance_wait_time  to  retry.  If
       acceptance_wait_time_max  is  set then the Minion will increase its wait time by the acceptance_wait_time
       each subsequent retry until reaching acceptance_wait_time_max.

   Too many minions re-authing
       This is most likely to happen in the testing phase of a  Salt  deployment,  when  all  Minion  keys  have
       already  been  accepted,  but  the framework is being tested and parameters are frequently changed in the
       Salt Master's configuration file(s).

       The Salt Master generates a new AES key to encrypt its publications at certain events such  as  a  Master
       restart  or  the  removal  of  a  Minion  key.   If you are encountering this problem of too many minions
       re-authing against the Master, you will need to recalibrate your setup to reduce the rate of events  like
       a Master restart or Minion key removal (salt-key -d).

       When  the Master generates a new AES key, the minions aren't notified of this but will discover it on the
       next pub job they receive. When the Minion receives such a job it will  then  re-auth  with  the  Master.
       Since  Salt  does  minion-side filtering this means that all the minions will re-auth on the next command
       published on the master-- causing another "thundering herd". This can be avoided by setting the

          random_reauth_delay: 60

       in the minions configuration file to  a  higher  value  and  stagger  the  amount  of  re-auth  attempts.
       Increasing  this value will of course increase the time it takes until all minions are reachable via Salt
       commands.

   Too many minions re-connecting
       By default the zmq socket will re-connect every 100ms which for some  larger  installations  may  be  too
       quick.  This  will  control how quickly the TCP session is re-established, but has no bearing on the auth
       load.

       To tune the minions sockets reconnect attempts, there are a few values in the sample  configuration  file
       (default values)

          recon_default: 1000
          recon_max: 5000
          recon_randomize: True

       • recon_default:  the  default  value  the  socket  should use, i.e. 1000. This value is in milliseconds.
         (1000ms = 1 second)

       • recon_max: the max value that the socket should use as a delay before trying to reconnect This value is
         in milliseconds. (5000ms = 5 seconds)

       • recon_randomize: enables randomization between recon_default and recon_max

       To tune this values to an existing environment, a few decision have to be made.

       1. How long can one wait, before the minions should be online and reachable via Salt?

       2. How many reconnects can the Master handle without a syn flood?

       These  questions  can  not  be  answered  generally.  Their  answers  depend  on  the  hardware  and  the
       administrators requirements.

       Here is an example scenario with the goal, to have all minions reconnect within a 60 second time-frame on
       a Salt Master service restart.

          recon_default: 1000
          recon_max: 59000
          recon_randomize: True

       Each  Minion  will  have  a  randomized  reconnect  value  between  'recon_default'  and 'recon_default +
       recon_max', which in this example means between 1000ms and 60000ms (or between 1  and  60  seconds).  The
       generated random-value will be doubled after each attempt to reconnect (ZeroMQ default behavior).

       Lets say the generated random value is 11 seconds (or 11000ms).

          reconnect 1: wait 11 seconds
          reconnect 2: wait 22 seconds
          reconnect 3: wait 33 seconds
          reconnect 4: wait 44 seconds
          reconnect 5: wait 55 seconds
          reconnect 6: wait time is bigger than 60 seconds (recon_default + recon_max)
          reconnect 7: wait 11 seconds
          reconnect 8: wait 22 seconds
          reconnect 9: wait 33 seconds
          reconnect x: etc.

       With a thousand minions this will mean

          1000/60 = ~16

       round  about  16  connection  attempts a second. These values should be altered to values that match your
       environment. Keep in mind though, that it may grow over time  and  that  more  minions  might  raise  the
       problem again.

   Too many minions returning at once
       This can also happen during the testing phase, if all minions are addressed at once with

          $ salt * disk.usage

       it  may  cause  thousands  of minions trying to return their data to the Salt Master open port 4506. Also
       causing a flood of syn-flood if the Master can't handle that many returns at once.

       This can be easily avoided with Salt's batch mode:

          $ salt * disk.usage -b 50

       This will only address 50 minions at once while looping through all addressed minions.

   Too few resources
       The masters resources always have to match the environment. There is no way to give good  advise  without
       knowing  the  environment  the  Master  is supposed to run in.  But here are some general tuning tips for
       different situations:

   The Master is CPU bound
       Salt uses RSA-Key-Pairs on the masters and minions end. Both generate 4096 bit key-pairs on first  start.
       While  the  key-size  for the Master is currently not configurable, the minions keysize can be configured
       with different key-sizes. For example with a 2048 bit key:

          keysize: 2048

       With thousands of decryptions, the amount of time that can be saved on the  masters  end  should  not  be
       neglected. See here for reference: Pull Request 9235 how much influence the key-size can have.

       Downsizing  the  Salt  Master's  key  is  not  that important, because the minions do not encrypt as many
       messages as the Master does.

       In installations with large or with complex pillar files, it is possible for the master to  exhibit  poor
       performance as a result of having to render many pillar files at once. This exhibit itself in a number of
       ways,  both  as  high  load  on  the  master and on minions which block on waiting for their pillar to be
       delivered to them.

       To reduce pillar rendering times, it is possible to cache pillars on the master. To do this, see the  set
       of master configuration options which are prefixed with pillar_cache.

       If  many  pillars are encrypted using gpg renderer, it is possible to cache GPG data. To do this, see the
       set of master configuration options which are prefixed with gpg_cache.

       NOTE:
          Caching pillars or GPG data on the master may introduce security considerations. Be  certain  to  read
          caveats  outlined  in  the  master  configuration  file  to understand how pillar caching may affect a
          master's ability to protect sensitive data!

   The Master is disk IO bound
       By default, the Master saves every Minion's return for every job in its job-cache. The cache can then  be
       used later, to lookup results for previous jobs. The default directory for this is:

          cachedir: /var/cache/salt

       and then in the /proc directory.

       Each  job  return  for  every  Minion  is saved in a single file. Over time this directory can grow quite
       large, depending on the number of published jobs. The amount of files and directories will scale with the
       number of jobs published and the retention time defined by

          keep_jobs: 24

          250 jobs/day * 2000 minions returns = 500,000 files a day

   Use and External Job Cache
       An external job cache allows for job storage to be placed on an external system, such as a database.

       • ext_job_cache: this will have the minions store their return data directly into a  returner  (not  sent
         through the Master)

       • master_job_cache  (New  in  2014.7.0):  this  will  make the Master store the job data using a returner
         (instead of the local job cache on disk).

       If a master has many accepted keys, it may take a long time to publish a  job  because  the  master  must
       first  determine  the matching minions and deliver that information back to the waiting client before the
       job can be published.

       To mitigate this, a key cache may be enabled. This will reduce the load on the master to  a  single  file
       open instead of thousands or tens of thousands.

       This  cache  is  updated by the maintanence process, however, which means that minions with keys that are
       accepted may not be targeted by the master for up to sixty seconds by default.

       To enable the master key cache, set key_cache: 'sched' in the master configuration file.

   Disable The Job Cache
       The job cache is a central component of the Salt Master and many aspects of  the  Salt  Master  will  not
       function correctly without a running job cache.

       Disabling the job cache is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED and should not be done unless the master is being used to
       execute routines that require no history or reliable feedback!

       The job cache can be disabled:

          job_cache: False

   How to Convert Jinja Logic to an Execution Module
       NOTE:
          This  tutorial  assumes  a  basic  knowledge  of  Salt  states  and  specifically experience using the
          maps.jinja idiom.

          This tutorial was written by a salt user who was told "if your maps.jinja is too complicated, write an
          execution module!". If you are experiencing over-complicated jinja, read on.

   The Problem: Jinja Gone Wild
       It is often said in the Salt community that "Jinja is not a Programming Language".  There's an even older
       saying known as Maslow's hammer.  It goes something like "if all you have is a hammer,  everything  looks
       like a nail".  Jinja is a reliable hammer, and so is the maps.jinja idiom.  Unfortunately, it can lead to
       code that looks like the following.

          # storage/maps.yaml

          {% import_yaml 'storage/defaults.yaml' as default_settings %}
          {% set storage = default_settings.storage %}
          {% do storage.update(salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
              },
              'RedHat': {
              }
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('storage:lookup'))) %}

          {% if 'VirtualBox' == grains.get('virtual', None) or 'oracle' == grains.get('virtual', None) %}
          {%   do storage.update({'depot_ip': '192.168.33.81', 'server_ip':  '192.168.33.51'}) %}
          {% else %}
          {%   set colo = pillar.get('inventory', {}).get('colo', 'Unknown') %}
          {%   set servers_list = pillar.get('storage_servers', {}).get(colo, [storage.depot_ip, ]) %}
          {%   if opts.id.startswith('foo') %}
          {%     set modulus = servers_list | count %}
          {%     set integer_id = opts.id | replace('foo', '') | int %}
          {%     set server_index = integer_id % modulus %}
          {%   else %}
          {%     set server_index = 0 %}
          {%   endif %}
          {%   do storage.update({'server_ip': servers_list[server_index]}) %}
          {% endif %}

          {% for network, _ in salt.pillar.get('inventory:networks', {}) | dictsort %}
          {%   do storage.ipsets.hash_net.foo_networks.append(network) %}
          {% endfor %}

       This  is  an  example  from  the  author's salt formulae demonstrating misuse of jinja.  Aside from being
       difficult to read and maintain, accessing the logic it contains from a non-jinja renderer while  probably
       possible is a significant barrier!

   Refactor
       The  first  step is to reduce the maps.jinja file to something reasonable.  This gives us an idea of what
       the module we are writing needs to do.  There is a lot of logic around selecting  a  storage  server  ip.
       Let's move that to an execution module.

          # storage/maps.yaml

          {% import_yaml 'storage/defaults.yaml' as default_settings %}
          {% set storage = default_settings.storage %}
          {% do storage.update(salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
              },
              'RedHat': {
              }
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('storage:lookup'))) %}

          {% if 'VirtualBox' == grains.get('virtual', None) or 'oracle' == grains.get('virtual', None) %}
          {%   do storage.update({'depot_ip': '192.168.33.81'}) %}
          {% endif %}

          {% do storage.update({'server_ip': salt['storage.ip']()}) %}

          {% for network, _ in salt.pillar.get('inventory:networks', {}) | dictsort %}
          {%   do storage.ipsets.hash_net.af_networks.append(network) %}
          {% endfor %}

       And then, write the module.  Note how the module encapsulates all of the logic around finding the storage
       server IP.

          # _modules/storage.py
          #!python

          """
          Functions related to storage servers.

              if __grains__.get("virtual", None) in ["VirtualBox", "oracle"]:
                  return [

                  ]

              colo = __pillar__.get("inventory", {}).get("colo", "Unknown")
              return __pillar__.get("storage_servers", {}).get(colo, ["unknown"])

          def ip():
              """

              """

              numerical_suffix = re.compile(r"^.*(\d+)$")
              servers_list = ips()

              m = numerical_suffix.match(__grains__["id"])
              if m:
                  modulus = len(servers_list)
                  server_number = int(m.group(1))
                  server_index = server_number % modulus
              else:
                  server_index = 0

              return servers_list[server_index]

   Conclusion
       That was... surprisingly straight-forward.  Now the logic is available in every renderer, instead of just
       Jinja.  Best of all, it can be maintained in Python, which is a whole lot easier than Jinja.

   Using Apache Libcloud for declarative and procedural multi-cloud orchestration
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       NOTE:
          This  walkthrough  assumes  basic knowledge of Salt and Salt States. To get up to speed, check out the
          Salt Walkthrough.

       Apache Libcloud is a Python library which hides differences between different  cloud  provider  APIs  and
       allows  you  to  manage  different cloud resources through a unified and easy to use API. Apache Libcloud
       supports over 60 cloud platforms, including Amazon, Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud  Platform
       and OpenStack.

       Execution and state modules are available for Compute, DNS, Storage and Load Balancer drivers from Apache
       Libcloud in
              SaltStack.

       •

         libcloud_compute - Compute -
                services such as OpenStack Nova, Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure VMs

       •

         libcloud_dns - DNS as a Service -
                services such as Amazon Route 53 and Zerigo

       •

         libcloud_loadbalancer - Load Balancers as a Service -
                services such as Amazon Elastic Load Balancer and GoGrid LoadBalancers

       •

         libcloud_storage - Cloud Object Storage and CDN -
                services such as Amazon S3 and Rackspace CloudFiles, OpenStack Swift

       These modules are designed as a way of having a multi-cloud deployment and abstracting simple differences
       between platform to design a high-availability architecture.

       The Apache Libcloud functionality is available through both execution modules and Salt states.

   Configuring Drivers
       Drivers  can  be configured in the Salt Configuration/Minion settings. All libcloud modules expect a list
       of "profiles" to be configured with authentication details for each driver.

       Each driver will have a string identifier, these can be found in the libcloud.<api>.types.Provider  class
       for each API, https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/supported_providers.html

       Some  drivers  require  additional parameters, which are documented in the Apache Libcloud documentation.
       For example, GoDaddy DNS expects "shopper_id", which is the customer ID. These additional parameters  can
       be added to the profile settings and will be passed directly to the driver instantiation method.

          libcloud_dns:
              godaddy:
                  driver: godaddy
                  shopper_id: 90425123
                  key: AFDDJFGIjDFVNSDIFNASMC
                  secret: FG(#f8vdfgjlkm)

          libcloud_storage:
              google:
                  driver: google_storage
                  key: GOOG4ASDIDFNVIdfnIVW
                  secret: R+qYE9hkfdhv89h4invhdfvird4Pq3an8rnK

       You  can  have multiple profiles for a single driver, for example if you wanted 2 DNS profiles for Amazon
       Route53, naming them "route53_prod" and "route54_test" would help your administrators  distinguish  their
       purpose.

          libcloud_dns:
              route53_prod:
                  driver: route53
                  key: AFDDJFGIjDFVNSDIFNASMC
                  secret: FG(#f8vdfgjlkm)
              route53_test:
                  driver: route53
                  key: AFDDJFGIjdfgdfgdf
                  secret: FG(#f8vdfgjlkm)

   Using the execution modules
       Amongst  over 60 clouds that Apache Libcloud supports, you can add profiles to your Salt configuration to
       access and control these clouds.  Each of the libcloud execution modules exposes the common  API  methods
       for  controlling  Compute,  DNS, Load Balancers and Object Storage.  To see which functions are supported
       across specific clouds, see the Libcloud supported methods documentation.

       The module documentation explains each of the API methods and how to leverage them.

                  name:
                      anthonypjshaw

       The Apache Libcloud storage module can be used to synchronize files between multiple storage clouds, such
       as Google Storage, S3 and OpenStack Swift

          salt '*' libcloud_storage.download_object DeploymentTools test.sh /tmp/test.sh google_storage

   Using the state modules
       For each configured profile, the assets available in the  API  (e.g.  storage  objects,  containers,  DNS
       records and load balancers) can be deployed via Salt's state system.

       The state module documentation explains the specific states that each module supports

       •

         libcloud_dns - DNS as a Service

                • services such as Amazon Route 53 and Zerigo

       For DNS, the state modules can be used to provide DNS resilience for multiple nameservers, for example:

          libcloud_dns:
              godaddy:
                  driver: godaddy
                  shopper_id: 12345
                  key: 2orgk34kgk34g
                  secret: fjgoidhjgoim
              amazon:
                  driver: route53
                  key: blah
                  secret: blah

       And then in a state file:

          webserver:
            libcloud_dns.zone_present:
              name: mywebsite.com
              profile: godaddy
            libcloud_dns.record_present:
              name: www
              zone: mywebsite.com
              type: A
              data: 12.34.32.3
              profile: godaddy
            libcloud_dns.zone_present:
              name: mywebsite.com
              profile: amazon
            libcloud_dns.record_present:
              name: www
              zone: mywebsite.com
              type: A
              data: 12.34.32.3
              profile: amazon

       This could be combined with a multi-cloud load balancer deployment,

          webserver:
            libcloud_dns.zone_present:
              - name: mywebsite.com
              - profile: godaddy
              ...
            libcloud_loadbalancer.balancer_present:
              - name: web_main
              - port: 80
              - protocol: http
              - members:
                  - ip: 1.2.4.5
                    port: 80
                  - ip: 2.4.5.6
                    port: 80
              - profile: google_gce
            libcloud_loadbalancer.balancer_present:
              - name: web_main
              - port: 80
              - protocol: http
              - members:
                  - ip: 1.2.4.5
                    port: 80
                  - ip: 2.4.5.6
                    port: 80
              - profile: amazon_elb

       Extended  parameters can be passed to the specific cloud, for example you can specify the region with the
       Google Cloud API, because create_balancer can accept a ex_region argument. Adding this  argument  to  the
       state will pass the additional command to the driver.

          lb_test:
              libcloud_loadbalancer.balancer_absent:
                  - name: example
                  - port: 80
                  - protocol: http
                  - profile: google
                  - ex_region: us-east1

   Accessing custom arguments in execution modules
       Some  cloud  providers  have  additional  functionality  that can be accessed on top of the base API, for
       example the Google Cloud Engine load balancer service offers the ability to provision load balancers into
       a specific region.

       Looking at the API documentation, we can see that it expects an ex_region in the create_balancer  method,
       so when we execute the salt command, we can add this additional parameter like this:

          $ salt myminion libcloud_storage.create_balancer my_balancer 80 http profile1 ex_region=us-east1
          $ salt myminion libcloud_storage.list_container_objects my_bucket profile1 ex_prefix=me

   Accessing custom methods in Libcloud drivers
       Some  cloud APIs have additional methods that are prefixed with ex_ in Apache Libcloud, these methods are
       part of the non-standard API but can still be  accessed  from  the  Salt  modules  for  libcloud_storage,
       libcloud_loadbalancer  and  libcloud_dns.   The  extra methods are available via the extra command, which
       expects the name of the method as the first argument, the profile as the second and then accepts  a  list
       of keyword arguments to pass onto the driver method, for example, accessing permissions in Google Storage
       objects:

          $ salt myminion libcloud_storage.extra ex_get_permissions google container_name=my_container object_name=me.jpg --out=yaml

   Example profiles
   Google Cloud
       Using  Service  Accounts  with  GCE,  you can provide a path to the JSON file and the project name in the
       parameters.

   LXC Management with Salt
       NOTE:
          This walkthrough assumes basic knowledge of Salt. To get up to speed, check out the Salt Walkthrough.

   Dependencies
       Manipulation of LXC containers in Salt requires the minion to have an LXC version of  at  least  1.0  (an
       alpha  or  beta  release  of  LXC  1.0 is acceptable).  The following distributions are known to have new
       enough versions of LXC packaged:

       • RHEL/CentOS 6 and later (via EPEL)

       • Fedora (All non-EOL releases)

       • Debian 8.0 (Jessie)

       • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later (LXC templates are packaged separately as lxc-templates, it  is  recommended
         to also install this package)

       • openSUSE 13.2 and later

   Profiles
       Profiles  allow  for  a  sort  of  shorthand for commonly-used configurations to be defined in the minion
       config file, grains, pillar, or the master config file. The  profile  is  retrieved  by  Salt  using  the
       config.get  function,  which  looks  in  those  locations,  in that order. This allows for profiles to be
       defined centrally in the master config file, with several options for overriding them (if  necessary)  on
       groups of minions or individual minions.

       There are two types of profiles:

          • One for defining the parameters used in container creation/clone.

          • One for defining the container's network interface(s) settings.

   Container Profiles
       LXC container profiles are defined underneath the lxc.container_profile config option:

          lxc.container_profile:
            centos:
              template: centos
              backing: lvm
              vgname: vg1
              lvname: lxclv
              size: 10G
            centos_big:
              template: centos
              backing: lvm
              vgname: vg1
              lvname: lxclv
              size: 20G

       Profiles  are retrieved using the config.get function, with the recurse merge strategy. This means that a
       profile can be defined at a lower level (for example, the master config file) and then parts of it can be
       overridden at a higher level (for example, in pillar data).  Consider  the  following  container  profile
       data:

       In the Master config file:

          lxc.container_profile:
            centos:
              template: centos
              backing: lvm
              vgname: vg1
              lvname: lxclv
              size: 10G

       In the Pillar data

          lxc.container_profile:
            centos:
              size: 20G

       Any  minion  with the above Pillar data would have the size parameter in the centos profile overridden to
       20G, while those minions without the above Pillar data would have the 10G size value. This is another way
       of achieving the same result as the centos_big profile above, without  having  to  define  another  whole
       profile that differs in just one value.

       NOTE:
          In  the  2014.7.x  release  cycle  and earlier, container profiles are defined under lxc.profile. This
          parameter will still work in version 2015.5.0, but is deprecated and  will  be  removed  in  a  future
          release.  Please  note  however  that  the profile merging feature described above will only work with
          profiles defined under lxc.container_profile, and only in versions 2015.5.0 and later.

       Additionally,  in  version  2015.5.0  container  profiles  have  been   expanded   to   support   passing
       template-specific  CLI  options  to  lxc.create.  Below is a table describing the parameters which can be
       configured in container profiles:
                              ┌───────────┬────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐

       1. Parameter is only supported for container creation, and will be ignored if the profile  is  used  when
          cloning a container.

       2. Parameter is only supported for container cloning, and will be ignored if the profile is used when not
          cloning a container.

   Network Profiles
       LXC  network  profiles are defined defined underneath the lxc.network_profile config option.  By default,
       the module uses a DHCP based configuration and try to guess a bridge to get connectivity.

       WARNING:
          on pre 2015.5.2, you need to specify explicitly the network bridge

          lxc.network_profile:
            centos:
              eth0:
                link: br0
                type: veth
                flags: up
            ubuntu:
              eth0:
                link: lxcbr0
                type: veth
                flags: up

       As with container profiles, network profiles are  retrieved  using  the  config.get  function,  with  the
       recurse merge strategy. Consider the following network profile data:

       In the Master config file:

          lxc.network_profile:
            centos:
              eth0:
                link: br0
                type: veth
                flags: up

       In the Pillar data

          lxc.network_profile:
            centos:
              eth0:
                link: lxcbr0

       Any  minion  with  the  above  Pillar data would use the lxcbr0 interface as the bridge interface for any
       container configured using the centos network profile, while those minions without the above Pillar  data
       would use the br0 interface for the same.

       NOTE:
          In  the 2014.7.x release cycle and earlier, network profiles are defined under lxc.nic. This parameter
          will still work in version 2015.5.0, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please
          note however that the profile merging feature described above will only  work  with  profiles  defined
          under lxc.network_profile, and only in versions 2015.5.0 and later.

       The  following are parameters which can be configured in network profiles. These will directly correspond
       to a parameter in an LXC configuration file (see man 5 lxc.container.conf).

       • type - Corresponds to lxc.network.typelink - Corresponds to lxc.network.linkflags - Corresponds to lxc.network.flags

       Interface-specific options (MAC address, IPv4/IPv6, etc.) must  be  passed  on  a  container-by-container
       basis, for instance using the nic_opts argument to lxc.create:

          salt myminion lxc.create container1 profile=centos network_profile=centos nic_opts='{eth0: {ipv4: 10.0.0.20/24, gateway: 10.0.0.1}}'

       WARNING:
          The  ipv4,  ipv6, gateway, and link (bridge) settings in network profiles / nic_opts will only work if
          the    container    doesn't    redefine    the    network    configuration     (for     example     in
          /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface_name>  on  RHEL/CentOS,  or /etc/network/interfaces on
          Debian/Ubuntu/etc.). Use these with  caution.  The  container  images  installed  using  the  download
          template, for instance, typically are configured for eth0 to use DHCP, which will conflict with static
          IP addresses set at the container level.

       NOTE:
          For LXC < 1.0.7 and DHCP support, set ipv4.gateway: 'auto' is your network profile, ie.:

              lxc.network_profile.nic:
                debian:
                  eth0:
                    link: lxcbr0
                    ipv4.gateway: 'auto'

   Old lxc support (<1.0.7)
       With saltstack 2015.5.2 and above, normally the setting is autoselected, but before, you'll need to teach
       your network profile to set lxc.network.ipv4.gateway to auto when using a classic ipv4 configuration.

       Thus you'll need

          lxc.network_profile.foo:
            etho:
              link: lxcbr0
              ipv4.gateway: auto

   Tricky network setups Examples
       This  example  covers how to make a container with both an internal ip and a public routable ip, wired on
       two veth pairs.

       The another interface which receives directly a public routable ip can't be on the first  interface  that
       we reserve for private inter LXC networking.

          lxc.network_profile.foo:
            eth0: {gateway: null, bridge: lxcbr0}
            eth1:
              # replace that by your main interface
              'link': 'br0'
              'mac': '00:16:5b:01:24:e1'
              'gateway': '2.20.9.14'
              'ipv4': '2.20.9.1'

   Creating a Container on the CLI
   From a Template
       LXC  is  commonly distributed with several template scripts in /usr/share/lxc/templates. Some distros may
       package these separately in an lxc-templates package, so make sure to check if this is the case.

       There are LXC template scripts for several different operating systems, but some of them are designed  to
       use  tools  specific  to  a given distribution. For instance, the ubuntu template uses deb_bootstrap, the
       centos template uses yum, etc., making these templates impractical when a container from a  different  OS
       is desired.

       The  lxc.create  function  is  used  to  create  containers  using  a template script. To create a CentOS
       container named container1 on a CentOS minion named mycentosminion, using the centos  LXC  template,  one
       can simply run the following command:

          salt mycentosminion lxc.create container1 template=centos

       For  these  instances,  there is a download template which retrieves minimal container images for several
       different operating systems. To use this template, it is necessary to provide an options  parameter  when
       creating the container, with three values:

       1. dist - the Linux distribution (i.e. ubuntu or centos)

       2. release - the release name/version (i.e. trusty or 6)

       3. arch - CPU architecture (i.e. amd64 or i386)

       The  lxc.images  function  (new  in  version  2015.5.0)  can  be  used  to  list  the  available  images.
       Alternatively, the releases can be viewed on http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/.  The  images  are
       organized  in  such  a  way  that  the  dist, release, and arch can be determined using the following URL
       format:         http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/dist/release/arch.         For          example,
       http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/centos/6/amd64  would  correspond to a dist of centos, a release
       of 6, and an arch of amd64.

       Therefore, to use the download template to create a new 64-bit CentOS 6 container, the following  command
       can be used:

          salt myminion lxc.create container1 template=download options='{dist: centos, release: 6, arch: amd64}'

       NOTE:
          These command-line options can be placed into a container profile, like so:

              lxc.container_profile.cent6:
                template: download
                options:
                  dist: centos
                  release: 6
                  arch: amd64

          The  options  parameter is not supported in profiles for the 2014.7.x release cycle and earlier, so it
          would still need to be provided on the command-line.

   Cloning an Existing Container
       To clone a container, use the lxc.clone function:

          salt myminion lxc.clone container2 orig=container1

   Using a Container Image
       While cloning is a good way to create new containers from a common base container, the  source  container
       that is being cloned needs to already exist on the minion. This makes deploying a common container across
       minions  difficult.   For  this reason, Salt's lxc.create is capable of installing a container from a tar
       archive of another container's rootfs. To create an image of a container named cent6, run  the  following
       command as root:

          tar czf cent6.tar.gz -C /var/lib/lxc/cent6 rootfs

       NOTE:
          Before doing this, it is recommended that the container is stopped.

       The  resulting tarball can then be placed alongside the files in the salt fileserver and referenced using
       a salt:// URL. To create a container using an image, use the image parameter with lxc.create:

          salt myminion lxc.create new-cent6 image=salt://path/to/cent6.tar.gz

       NOTE:
          Making images of containers with LVM backing

          For containers with LVM backing, the rootfs is not mounted, so it  is  necessary  to  mount  it  first
          before creating the tar archive. When a container is created using LVM backing, an empty rootfs dir is
          handily  created  within  /var/lib/lxc/container_name,  so  this  can  be  used as the mountpoint. The
          location of the logical volume for the container will be /dev/vgname/lvname, where vgname is the  name
          of  the volume group, and lvname is the name of the logical volume. Therefore, assuming a volume group
          of vg1, a logical volume of lxc-cent6, and a container name of cent6, the following  commands  can  be
          used to create a tar archive of the rootfs:

              mount /dev/vg1/lxc-cent6 /var/lib/lxc/cent6/rootfs
              tar czf cent6.tar.gz -C /var/lib/lxc/cent6 rootfs
              umount /var/lib/lxc/cent6/rootfs

       WARNING:
          One  caveat  of  using  this method of container creation is that /etc/hosts is left unmodified.  This
          could cause confusion for some distros if salt-minion is later installed  on  the  container,  as  the
          functions that determine the hostname take /etc/hosts into account.

          Additionally,  when creating an rootfs image, be sure to remove /etc/salt/minion_id and make sure that
          id is not defined in /etc/salt/minion, as this will cause similar issues.

   Initializing a New Container as a Salt Minion
       The above examples illustrate a few ways to create containers on the CLI, but often it  is  desirable  to
       also have the new container run as a Minion. To do this, the lxc.init function can be used. This function
       will do the following:

       1. Create a new container

       2. Optionally set password and/or DNS

       3. Bootstrap the minion (using either salt-bootstrap or a custom command)

       By  default,  the  new container will be pointed at the same Salt Master as the host machine on which the
       container was created. It will then request to authenticate with the Master like any  other  bootstrapped
       Minion, at which point it can be accepted.

          salt myminion lxc.init test1 profile=centos
          salt-key -a test1

       For  even  greater  convenience,  the  LXC runner contains a runner function of the same name (lxc.init),
       which creates a keypair, seeds the new minion with it, and pre-accepts the  key,  allowing  for  the  new
       Minion to be created and authorized in a single step:

          salt-run lxc.init test1 host=myminion profile=centos

   Running Commands Within a Container
       For  containers  which  are  not  running their own Minion, commands can be run within the container in a
       manner similar to using (cmd.run <salt.modules.cmdmod.run). The means of doing  this  have  been  changed
       significantly  in  version  2015.5.0  (though  the  deprecated behavior will still be supported for a few
       releases). Both the old and new usage are documented below.

   2015.5.0 and Newer
       New functions have been added to mimic the behavior of the functions in the cmd module. Below is a  table
       with the cmd functions and their lxc module equivalents:

   2014.7.x and Earlier
       Earlier Salt releases use a single function (lxc.run_cmd) to  run  commands  within  containers.  Whether
       stdout, stderr, etc. are returned depends on how the function is invoked.

       To run a command and return the stdout:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages'

       To run a command and return the stderr:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages' stdout=False stderr=True

       To run a command and return the retcode:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages' stdout=False stderr=False

       To run a command and return all information:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages' stdout=True stderr=True

   Container Management Using salt-cloud
       Salt  cloud  uses  under  the  hood  the salt runner and module to manage containers, Please look at this
       chapter

   Container Management Using States
       Several states are being renamed or otherwise modified in  version  2015.5.0.  The  information  in  this
       tutorial  refers  to  the new states. For 2014.7.x and earlier, please refer to the documentation for the
       LXC states.

   Ensuring a Container Is Present
       To ensure the existence of a named container, use the lxc.present state. Here are some examples:

          # Using a template
          web1:
            lxc.present:
              - template: download
              - options:
                  dist: centos
                  release: 6
                  arch: amd64

          # Cloning
          web2:
            lxc.present:
              - clone_from: web-base

          # Using a rootfs image
          web3:
            lxc.present:
              - image: salt://path/to/cent6.tar.gz

          # Using profiles
          web4:
            lxc.present:
              - profile: centos_web
              - network_profile: centos

       WARNING:
          The lxc.present state will not modify an existing container (in other words, it will not re-create the
          container).  If an lxc.present state is run on an existing container, there will be no change and  the
          state will return a True result.

       The  lxc.present  state  also  includes  an optional running parameter which can be used to ensure that a
       container is running/stopped. Note that there are standalone lxc.running and lxc.stopped states which can
       be used for this purpose.

   Ensuring a Container Does Not Exist
       To ensure that a named container is not present, use the lxc.absent state. For example:

          web1:
            lxc.absent

   Ensuring a Container is Running/Stopped/Frozen
       Containers can be in one of three states:

       • running - Container is running and active

       • frozen - Container is running, but all process are blocked and the container is essentially  non-active
         until the container is "unfrozen"

       • stopped - Container is not running

       Salt  has three states (lxc.running, lxc.frozen, and lxc.stopped) which can be used to ensure a container
       is in one of these states:

          web1:
            lxc.running

          # Restart the container if it was already running
          web2:
            lxc.running:
              - restart: True

          web3:
            lxc.stopped

          # Explicitly kill all tasks in container instead of gracefully stopping
          web4:
            lxc.stopped:
              - kill: True

          web5:
            lxc.frozen

          # If container is stopped, do not start it (in which case the state will fail)
          web6:
            lxc.frozen:
              - start: False

   Remote execution tutorial
       Before continuing make sure you have a working Salt installation by following the  installation  and  the
       configuration instructions.

          Stuck?

                 There are many ways to salt-community including our mailing list and our IRC channel #salt.

   Order your minions around
       Now that you have a master and at least one minion communicating with each other you can perform commands
       on the minion via the salt command. Salt calls are comprised of three main components:

          salt '<target>' <function> [arguments]

       SEE ALSO:
          salt manpage

   target
       The  target  component  allows you to filter which minions should run the following function. The default
       filter is a glob on the minion id. For example:

          salt '*' test.version
          salt '*.example.org' test.version

       Targets can be based on minion system information using the Grains system:

          salt -G 'os:Ubuntu' test.version

       SEE ALSO:
          Grains system

       Targets can be filtered by regular expression:

          salt -E 'virtmach[0-9]' test.version

       Targets can be explicitly specified in a list:

          salt -L 'foo,bar,baz,quo' test.version

       Or Multiple target types can be combined in one command:

          salt -C 'G@os:Ubuntu and webser* or E@database.*' test.version

   function
       A function is some functionality provided by a module. Salt ships with a large  collection  of  available
       functions. List all available functions on your minions:

          salt '*' sys.doc

       Here are some examples:

       Show all currently available minions:

          salt '*' test.version

       Run an arbitrary shell command:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'uname -a'

       SEE ALSO:
          the full list of modules

   arguments
       Space-delimited arguments to the function:

          salt '*' cmd.exec_code python 'import sys; print sys.version'

       Optional, keyword arguments are also supported:

          salt '*' pip.install salt timeout=5 upgrade=True

       They are always in the form of kwarg=argument.

   Multi Master Tutorial
       As  of  Salt  0.16.0,  the  ability  to  connect minions to multiple masters has been made available. The
       multi-master  system  allows  for  redundancy  of  Salt  masters  and  facilitates  multiple  points   of
       communication  out  to  minions.  When  using  a multi-master setup, all masters are running hot, and any
       active master can be used to send commands out to the minions.

       NOTE:
          If you need failover capabilities with  multiple  masters,  there  is  also  a  MultiMaster-PKI  setup
          available, that uses a different topology MultiMaster-PKI with Failover Tutorial

       In 0.16.0, the masters do not share any information, keys need to be accepted on both masters, and shared
       files  need  to  be  shared  manually  or  use  tools  like the git fileserver backend to ensure that the
       file_roots are kept consistent.

       Beginning with Salt 2016.11.0, the Pluggable Minion Data Cache was  introduced.  The  minion  data  cache
       contains  the  Salt Mine data, minion grains, and minion pillar information cached on the Salt Master. By
       default, Salt uses the localfs cache module, but other external data stores can be used instead.

       Using a pluggable minion cache modules allows for the data stored on a Salt Master about Salt Minions  to
       be  replicated  on  other  Salt  Masters  the  Minion  is  connected to. Please see the Minion Data Cache
       documentation for more information and configuration examples.

   Summary of Steps
       1. Create a redundant master server

       2. Copy primary master key to redundant master

       3. Start redundant master

       4. Configure minions to connect to redundant master

       5. Restart minions

       6. Accept keys on redundant master

   Prepping a Redundant Master
       The first task is to prepare the redundant master. If the redundant master is already running,  stop  it.
       There  is  only  one  requirement when preparing a redundant master, which is that masters share the same
       private key. When the first master was created, the master's  identifying  key  pair  was  generated  and
       placed  in  the master's pki_dir. The default location of the master's key pair is /etc/salt/pki/master/.
       Take the private key, master.pem, and copy it to the same location on the redundant master. Do  the  same
       for  the  master's  public  key,  master.pub. Assuming that no minions have yet been connected to the new
       redundant master, it is safe to delete any existing key in this location and replace it.

       NOTE:
          There is no logical limit to the number of redundant masters that can be used.

       Once the new key is in place, the redundant master can be safely started.

   Configure Minions
       Since minions need to be master-aware, the new master needs to be added  to  the  minion  configurations.
       Simply update the minion configurations to list all connected masters:

          master:
            - saltmaster1.example.com
            - saltmaster2.example.com

       Now the minion can be safely restarted.

       NOTE:
          If  the  ipc_mode  for  the  minion  is  set  to  TCP  (default  in  Windows), then each minion in the
          multi-minion setup (one per master) needs its own tcp_pub_port and tcp_pull_port.

          If these settings are left as the default 4510/4511, each minion object will receive a port  2  higher
          than the previous. Thus the first minion will get 4510/4511, the second will get 4512/4513, and so on.
          If these port decisions are unacceptable, you must configure tcp_pub_port and tcp_pull_port with lists
          of  ports  for  each  master.  The length of these lists should match the number of masters, and there
          should not be overlap in the lists.

       Now the minions will check into the original master and also check into the new  redundant  master.  Both
       masters are first-class and have rights to the minions.

       NOTE:
          Minions  can  automatically  detect failed masters and attempt to reconnect to them quickly. To enable
          this functionality, set master_alive_interval in the minion config and specify a number of seconds  to
          poll the masters for connection status.

          If  this  option is not set, minions will still reconnect to failed masters but the first command sent
          after a master comes back up may be lost while the minion authenticates.

   Sharing Files Between Masters
       Salt does not automatically share files between multiple masters. A number of files should be  shared  or
       sharing of these files should be strongly considered.

   Minion Keys
       Minion  keys  can  be accepted the normal way using salt-key on both masters.  Keys accepted, deleted, or
       rejected on one master will NOT be automatically managed on redundant masters; this  needs  to  be  taken
       care      of      by      running      salt-key      on      both      masters     or     sharing     the
       /etc/salt/pki/master/{minions,minions_pre,minions_rejected} directories between masters.

       NOTE:
          While sharing the /etc/salt/pki/master directory will work, it is strongly discouraged, since allowing
          access to the master.pem key outside of Salt creates a SERIOUS security risk.

   File_Roots
       The file_roots contents should be kept consistent between masters. Otherwise state runs will  not  always
       be consistent on minions since instructions managed by one master will not agree with other masters.

       The  recommended  way  to  sync these is to use a fileserver backend like gitfs or to keep these files on
       shared storage.

       IMPORTANT:
          If using gitfs/git_pillar with the cachedir shared between masters using GlusterFS,  nfs,  or  another
          network filesystem, and the masters are running Salt 2015.5.9 or later, it is strongly recommended not
          to  turn  off gitfs_global_lock/git_pillar_global_lock as doing so will cause lock files to be removed
          if they were created by a different master.

   Pillar_Roots
       Pillar roots should be given the same considerations as file_roots.

   Master Configurations
       While reasons may exist to maintain separate master configurations, it is  wise  to  remember  that  each
       master  maintains independent control over minions.  Therefore, access controls should be in sync between
       masters unless a valid reason otherwise exists to keep them inconsistent.

       These access control options include but are not limited to:

       • external_auth

       • publisher_acl

       • peer

       • peer_run

   Multi-Master-PKI Tutorial With Failover
       This tutorial will explain, how to run a salt-environment where a single minion can have multiple masters
       and fail-over between them if its current master fails.

       The individual steps are

       • setup the master(s) to sign its auth-replies

       • setup minion(s) to verify master-public-keys

       • enable multiple masters on minion(s)

       • enable master-check on  minion(s)
            Please  note,  that  it  is  advised  to  have  good  knowledge  of  the  salt-  authentication  and
            communication-process to understand this tutorial.  All of the settings described here, go on top of
            the default authentication/communication process.

   Motivation
       The  default behaviour of a salt-minion is to connect to a master and accept the masters public key. With
       each publication, the master sends his public-key for the minion to check and  if  this  public-key  ever
       changes,  the  minion complains and exits. Practically this means, that there can only be a single master
       at any given time.

       Would it not be much nicer, if the minion could have any number of masters (1:n) and  jump  to  the  next
       master if its current master died because of a network or hardware failure?

       NOTE:
          There  is also a MultiMaster-Tutorial with a different approach and topology than this one, that might
          also suite your needs or might even be better suited Multi-Master Tutorial

       It is also desirable, to add some sort of authenticity-check to  the  very  first  public  key  a  minion
       receives from a master. Currently a minions takes the first masters public key for granted.

   The Goal
       Setup  the  master  to  sign the public key it sends to the minions and enable the minions to verify this
       signature for authenticity.

   Prepping the master to sign its public key
       For signing to work, both master and minion must have the signing and/or verification  settings  enabled.
       If  the master signs the public key but the minion does not verify it, the minion will complain and exit.
       The same happens, when the master does not sign but the minion tries to verify.

       The easiest way to have the master sign its public key is to set

          master_sign_pubkey: True

       After restarting the salt-master service, the master will automatically generate a new key-pair

          master_sign.pem
          master_sign.pub

       A custom name can be set for the signing key-pair by setting

          master_sign_key_name: <name_without_suffix>

       The master will then generate that key-pair upon  restart  and  use  it  for  creating  the  public  keys
       signature attached to the auth-reply.

       The  computation  is  done  for  every  auth-request  of a minion. If many minions auth very often, it is
       advised to use conf_master:master_pubkey_signature and  conf_master:master_use_pubkey_signature  settings
       described below.

       If multiple masters are in use and should sign their auth-replies, the signing key-pair master_sign.* has
       to be copied to each master. Otherwise a minion will fail to verify the masters public when connecting to
       a  different  master  than it did initially. That is because the public keys signature was created with a
       different signing key-pair.

   Prepping the minion to verify received public keys
       The minion must have the public key (and only that one!) available to be able to verify  a  signature  it
       receives.  That  public  key  (defaults to master_sign.pub) must be copied from the master to the minions
       pki-directory.

          /etc/salt/pki/minion/master_sign.pub

       IMPORTANT:
          DO NOT COPY THE master_sign.pem FILE. IT MUST STAY ON THE MASTER AND ONLY THERE!

       When that is done, enable the signature checking in the minions configuration

          verify_master_pubkey_sign: True

       and restart the minion. For the first try, the minion should be run in manual debug mode.

          salt-minion -l debug

       Upon connecting to the master, the following lines should appear on the output:

          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Loading public key
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Verifying signature

          [INFO    ] Received signed and verified master pubkey from master 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Decrypting the current master AES key

       If the signature verification fails, something went wrong and it will look like this

          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem

          [CRITICAL] The Salt Master server's public key did not authenticate!

       In a case like this, it should be checked, that the verification pubkey (master_sign.pub) on  the  minion
       is the same as the one on the master.

       Once the verification is successful, the minion can be started in daemon mode again.

       For  the  paranoid among us, its also possible to verify the publication whenever it is received from the
       master. That is, for every single auth-attempt which can be quite frequent. For example just the start of
       the minion will force the signature to be checked 6 times for various things like auth, mine,  highstate,
       etc.

       If that is desired, enable the setting

          always_verify_signature: True

   Multiple Masters For A Minion
       Configuring multiple masters on a minion is done by specifying two settings:

       • a list of masters addresses

       • what type of master is defined

          master:
              - 172.16.0.10
              - 172.16.0.11
              - 172.16.0.12

          master_type: failover

       This  tells  the  minion  that all the master above are available for it to connect to. When started with
       this configuration, it will try the master in the order they are defined. To randomize that order, set

          master_shuffle: True

       The master-list will then be shuffled before the first connection attempt.

       The first master that accepts the minion, is used by the minion. If the master  does  not  yet  know  the
       minion, that counts as accepted and the minion stays on that master.

       For the minion to be able to detect if its still connected to its current master enable the check for it

          master_alive_interval: <seconds>

       If  the loss of the connection is detected, the minion will temporarily remove the failed master from the
       list and try one of the other masters defined (again shuffled if that is enabled).

   Testing the setup
       At least two running masters are needed to test the failover setup.

       Both masters should be running and the minion should be running on the command line in debug mode

          salt-minion -l debug

       The minion will connect to the first master from its master list

          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem

       A test.version on the master the minion is currently connected to should be run to test connectivity.

       If successful, that master should be turned off. A firewall-rule denying the minions packets will also do
       the trick.

       Depending on the configured conf_minion:master_alive_interval, the minion will notice  the  loss  of  the
       connection and log it to its logfile.

          [INFO    ] Connection to master 172.16.0.10 lost
          [INFO    ] Trying to tune in to next master from master-list

       The minion will then remove the current master from the list and try connecting to the next master

          [INFO    ] Removing possibly failed master 172.16.0.10 from list of masters

          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.11

       If everything is configured correctly, the new masters public key will be verified successfully

          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Loading public key

          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [INFO    ] Authentication with master successful!

       and the minion can be pinged again from its new master.

   Performance Tuning
       With  the setup described above, the master computes a signature for every auth-request of a minion. With
       many minions and many auth-requests, that can chew up quite a bit of CPU-Power.

       To avoid that, the master can use a pre-created signature of its public-key.  The signature is saved as a
       base64 encoded string which the master reads  once  when  starting  and  attaches  only  that  string  to
       auth-replies.

       Enabling  this  also  gives  paranoid  users the possibility, to have the signing key-pair on a different
       system than the actual salt-master and create the public keys signature there. Probably on a system  with
       more restrictive firewall rules, without internet access, less users, etc.

       That signature can be created with

          salt-key --gen-signature

       This will create a default signature file in the master pki-directory

          /etc/salt/pki/master/master_pubkey_signature

       It is a simple text-file with the binary-signature converted to base64.

       If  no  signing-pair is present yet, this will auto-create the signing pair and the signature file in one
       call

          salt-key --gen-signature --auto-create

       Telling the master to use the pre-created signature is done with

          master_use_pubkey_signature: True

       That requires the file 'master_pubkey_signature' to be present in  the  masters  pki-directory  with  the
       correct signature.

       If the signature file is named differently, its name can be set with

          master_pubkey_signature: <filename>

       With  many  masters  and  many  public-keys  (default and signing), it is advised to use the salt-masters
       hostname for the signature-files name. Signatures can be easily confused because they do not provide  any
       information about the key the signature was created from.

       Verifying that everything works is done the same way as above.

   How the signing and verification works
       The default key-pair of the salt-master is

          /etc/salt/pki/master/master.pem
          /etc/salt/pki/master/master.pub

       To  be  able  to  create a signature of a message (in this case a public-key), another key-pair has to be
       added to the setup. Its default name is:

          master_sign.pem
          master_sign.pub

       The combination  of  the  master.*  and  master_sign.*  key-pairs  give  the  possibility  of  generating
       signatures.  The  signature  of  a  given message is unique and can be verified, if the public-key of the
       signing-key-pair is available to the recipient (the minion).

       The signature of the masters public-key in master.pub is computed with

          master_sign.pem
          master.pub
          M2Crypto.EVP.sign_update()

       This results in a binary signature which is converted to base64 and attached to the  auth-reply  send  to
       the minion.

       With the signing-pairs public-key available to the minion, the attached signature can be verified with

          master_sign.pub
          master.pub
          M2Cryptos EVP.verify_update().

       When  running  multiple  masters,  either  the  signing key-pair has to be present on all of them, or the
       master_pubkey_signature has to be pre-computed for  each  master  individually  (because  they  all  have
       different public-keys).
          DO NOT PUT THE SAME master.pub ON ALL MASTERS FOR EASE OF USE.

   Packaging External Modules for Salt
   External Modules Setuptools Entry-Points Support
       The salt loader was enhanced to look for external modules by looking at the salt.loader entry-point:
          https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html#entry-points

       pkg_resources should be installed, which is normally included in setuptools.
          https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

       The  package  which  has  custom  engines, minion modules, outputters, etc, should require setuptools and
       should define the following entry points in its setup function:

          from setuptools import setup, find_packages

          setup(
              name=THE_NAME,
              version=THE_VERSION,
              description=THE_DESCRIPTION,
              author=THE_AUTHOR_NAME,
              author_email=THE_AUTHOR_EMAIL,
              url=" ... ",
              packages=find_packages(),
              entry_points="""
              [salt.loader]
              engines_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:engines_dirs
              fileserver_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:fileserver_dirs
              pillar_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:pillar_dirs
              returner_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:returner_dirs
              roster_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:roster_dirs
              """,
          )

       The  above  setup   script   example   mentions   a   loader   module.   here's   an   example   of   how
       <package>/<loader-module>.py it should look:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

          # Import python libs
          import os

          PKG_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

          def engines_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where engines can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "engines_1")
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "engines_2")

          def fileserver_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where fileserver modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "fileserver")

          def pillar_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where external pillar modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "pillar")

          def returner_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where returner modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "returners")

          def roster_dirs():

   How Do I Use Salt States?
       Simplicity, Simplicity, Simplicity

       Many  of the most powerful and useful engineering solutions are founded on simple principles. Salt States
       strive to do just that: K.I.S.S. (Keep It Stupidly Simple)

       The core of the Salt State system is the SLS, or SaLt State file. The SLS  is  a  representation  of  the
       state  in  which  a  system should be in, and is set up to contain this data in a simple format.  This is
       often called configuration management.

       NOTE:
          This is just the beginning of using states, make sure to read up on pillar Pillar next.

   It is All Just Data
       Before delving into the particulars, it will help to  understand  that  the  SLS  file  is  just  a  data
       structure  under  the  hood. While understanding that the SLS is just a data structure isn't critical for
       understanding and making use of Salt States, it should help bolster knowledge of where the real power is.

       SLS files are therefore, in reality, just dictionaries, lists,  strings,  and  numbers.   By  using  this
       approach  Salt can be much more flexible. As one writes more state files, it becomes clearer exactly what
       is being written. The result is a system that is easy to understand, yet grows  with  the  needs  of  the
       admin or developer.

   The Top File
       The  example  SLS  files in the below sections can be assigned to hosts using a file called top.sls. This
       file is described in-depth here.

   Default Data - YAML
       By default Salt represents the SLS data in what is one of the simplest serialization formats available  -
       YAML.

       A typical SLS file will often look like this in YAML:

       NOTE:
          These  demos  use  some generic service and package names, different distributions often use different
          names for packages and services. For instance apache should be  replaced  with  httpd  on  a  Red  Hat
          system.   Salt  uses  the  name of the init script, systemd name, upstart name etc.  based on what the
          underlying service management for the platform. To get a list of the  available  service  names  on  a
          platform execute the service.get_all salt function.

          Information on how to make states work with multiple distributions is later in the tutorial.

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

       This  SLS  data  will  ensure  that the package named apache is installed, and that the apache service is
       running. The components can be explained in a simple way.

       The first line is the ID for a set of data, and it is called the ID Declaration. This ID sets the name of
       the thing that needs to be manipulated.

       The  second  and  third  lines  contain  the  state  module  function  to   be   run,   in   the   format
       <state_module>.<function>.  The  pkg.installed  state  module function ensures that a software package is
       installed via the system's native package manager. The service.running state module function ensures that
       a given system daemon is running.

       Finally, on line four, is the word require. This is called a Requisite Statement, and it makes sure  that
       the Apache service is only started after a successful installation of the apache package.

   Adding Configs and Users
       When  setting  up  a  service  like  an Apache web server, many more components may need to be added. The
       Apache configuration file will most likely be managed, and a user and group may need to be set up.

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - pkg: apache
                - file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - user: apache
            user.present:
              - uid: 87
              - gid: 87
              - home: /var/www/html
              - shell: /bin/nologin
              - require:
                - group: apache
            group.present:
              - gid: 87
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/httpd.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644

       This SLS data greatly extends the first example, and includes a config file, a  user,  a  group  and  new
       requisite statement: watch.

       Adding  more  states  is  easy, since the new user and group states are under the Apache ID, the user and
       group will be the Apache user and group. The require statements will make sure that the user will only be
       made after the group, and that the group will be made only after the Apache package is installed.

       Next, the require statement under service was changed to watch, and is now watching 3 states  instead  of
       just  one.  The  watch  statement  does  the same thing as require, making sure that the other states run
       before running the state with a watch, but it adds an extra component. The watch statement will  run  the
       state's  watcher  function  for  any  changes  to the watched states.  So if the package was updated, the
       config file changed, or the user uid modified, then the service state's watcher will be run. The  service
       state's watcher just restarts the service, so in this case, a change in the config file will also trigger
       a restart of the respective service.

   Moving Beyond a Single SLS
       When  setting  up  Salt  States  in  a scalable manner, more than one SLS will need to be used. The above
       examples were in a single SLS file, but two or more SLS files can be combined to build out a State  Tree.
       The above example also references a file with a strange source - salt://apache/httpd.conf. That file will
       need to be available as well.

       The  SLS  files are laid out in a directory structure on the Salt master; an SLS is just a file and files
       to download are just files.

       The Apache example would be laid out in the root of the Salt file server like this:

          apache/init.sls
          apache/httpd.conf

       So the httpd.conf is just a file in the apache directory, and is referenced directly.

          Do not use dots in SLS file names or their directories

                 The initial implementation of top.sls and include-declaration followed the python import  model
                 where a slash is represented as a period.  This means that a SLS file with a period in the name
                 (  besides  the  suffix  period)  can not be referenced.  For example, webserver_1.0.sls is not
                 referenceable because webserver_1.0 would refer to the directory/file webserver_1/0.sls

                 The same applies for any subdirectories,  this  is  especially  'tricky'  when  git  repos  are
                 created.   Another command that typically can't render its output is `state.show_sls` of a file
                 in a path that contains a dot.

       But when using more than one single SLS file, more components can be added to the toolkit. Consider  this
       SSH example:

       ssh/init.sls:

          openssh-client:
            pkg.installed

          /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
            file.managed:
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://ssh/ssh_config
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-client

       ssh/server.sls:

          include:
            - ssh

          openssh-server:
            pkg.installed

          sshd:
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-client
                - pkg: openssh-server
                - file: /etc/ssh/banner
                - file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

          /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
            file.managed:
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://ssh/sshd_config
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-server

          /etc/ssh/banner:
            file:
              - managed
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://ssh/banner
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-server

       NOTE:
          Notice  that  we  use  two  similar  ways  of  denoting  that  a  file  is  managed  by  Salt.  In the
          /etc/ssh/sshd_config state section above, we use the file.managed state declaration whereas  with  the
          /etc/ssh/banner  state  section, we use the file state declaration and add a managed attribute to that
          state declaration. Both ways produce an identical result; the first way -- using  file.managed  --  is
          merely a shortcut.

       Now our State Tree looks like this:

          apache/init.sls
          apache/httpd.conf
          ssh/init.sls
          ssh/server.sls
          ssh/banner
          ssh/ssh_config
          ssh/sshd_config

       This  example  now  introduces  the include statement. The include statement includes another SLS file so
       that components found in it can be required, watched or as will soon be demonstrated - extended.

       The include statement allows for states to be cross linked. When an SLS has an include  statement  it  is
       literally extended to include the contents of the included SLS files.

       Note  that  some of the SLS files are called init.sls, while others are not. More info on what this means
       can be found in the States Tutorial.

   Extending Included SLS Data
       Sometimes SLS data needs to be extended. Perhaps the apache service needs to watch additional  resources,
       or under certain circumstances a different file needs to be placed.

       In  these  examples,  the  first will add a custom banner to ssh and the second will add more watchers to
       apache to include mod_python.

       ssh/custom-server.sls:

          include:
            - ssh.server

          extend:
            /etc/ssh/banner:
              file:
                - source: salt://ssh/custom-banner

       python/mod_python.sls:

          include:
            - apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - pkg: mod_python

          mod_python:
            pkg.installed

       The custom-server.sls file uses the extend statement to overwrite where the banner  is  being  downloaded
       from, and therefore changing what file is being used to configure the banner.

       In  the  new  mod_python SLS the mod_python package is added, but more importantly the apache service was
       extended to also watch the mod_python package.

          Using extend with require or watch

                 The extend statement works differently for require  or  watch.   It  appends  to,  rather  than
                 replacing the requisite component.

   Understanding the Render System
       Since SLS data is simply that (data), it does not need to be represented with YAML. Salt defaults to YAML
       because  it  is  very  straightforward  and easy to learn and use. But the SLS files can be rendered from
       almost any imaginable medium, so long as a renderer module is provided.

       The default rendering system is the jinja|yaml renderer. The jinja|yaml  renderer  will  first  pass  the
       template through the Jinja2 templating system, and then through the YAML parser. The benefit here is that
       full programming constructs are available when creating SLS files.

       Other renderers available are yaml_mako and yaml_wempy which each use the Mako or Wempy templating system
       respectively  rather  than  the jinja templating system, and more notably, the pure Python or py, pydsl &
       pyobjects renderers.  The py renderer allows for SLS files to be written in pure Python, allowing for the
       utmost level of flexibility and power when preparing SLS  data;  while  the  pydsl  renderer  provides  a
       flexible, domain-specific language for authoring SLS data in Python; and the pyobjects renderer gives you
       a "Pythonic" interface to building state data.

       NOTE:
          The  templating  engines described above aren't just available in SLS files.  They can also be used in
          file.managed states, making file management much more dynamic and flexible. Some  examples  for  using
          templates  in  managed  files  can  be  found  in the documentation for the file state, as well as the
          MooseFS example below.

   Getting to Know the Default - jinja|yaml
       The default renderer - jinja|yaml, allows for use of the jinja templating system. A guide  to  the  Jinja
       templating system can be found here: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/

       When  working  with  renderers  a  few  very useful bits of data are passed in. In the case of templating
       engine based renderers, three critical components are available,  salt,  grains,  and  pillar.  The  salt
       object  allows  for  any  Salt  function to be called from within the template, and grains allows for the
       Grains to be accessed from within the template. A few examples:

       apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat'%}
              - name: httpd
              {% endif %}
            service.running:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat'%}
              - name: httpd
              {% endif %}
              - watch:
                - pkg: apache
                - file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - user: apache
            user.present:
              - uid: 87
              - gid: 87
              - home: /var/www/html
              - shell: /bin/nologin
              - require:
                - group: apache
            group.present:
              - gid: 87
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/httpd.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644

       This example is simple. If the os grain states that the operating system is Red Hat, then the name of the
       Apache package and service needs to be httpd.

       A more aggressive way to use Jinja can be found here, in  a  module  to  set  up  a  MooseFS  distributed
       filesystem chunkserver:

       moosefs/chunk.sls:

          include:
            - moosefs

          {% for mnt in salt['cmd.run']('ls /dev/data/moose*').split() %}
          /mnt/moose{{ mnt[-1] }}:
            mount.mounted:
              - device: {{ mnt }}
              - fstype: xfs
              - mkmnt: True
            file.directory:
              - user: mfs
              - group: mfs
              - require:
                - user: mfs
                - group: mfs
          {% endfor %}

          /etc/mfshdd.cfg:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://moosefs/mfshdd.cfg
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - require:
                - pkg: mfs-chunkserver

          /etc/mfschunkserver.cfg:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://moosefs/mfschunkserver.cfg
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - require:
                - pkg: mfs-chunkserver

          mfs-chunkserver:
            pkg.installed: []
          mfschunkserver:
            service.running:
              - require:
          {% for mnt in salt['cmd.run']('ls /dev/data/moose*') %}
                - mount: /mnt/moose{{ mnt[-1] }}
                - file: /mnt/moose{{ mnt[-1] }}
          {% endfor %}
                - file: /etc/mfschunkserver.cfg
                - file: /etc/mfshdd.cfg
                - file: /var/lib/mfs

       This example shows much more of the available power of Jinja.  Multiple for loops are used to dynamically
       detect available hard drives and set them up to be mounted, and the salt object is used multiple times to
       call shell commands to gather data.

   Introducing the Python, PyDSL, and the Pyobjects Renderers
       Sometimes  the chosen default renderer might not have enough logical power to accomplish the needed task.
       When this happens, the Python renderer can be used. Normally a YAML  renderer  should  be  used  for  the
       majority of SLS files, but an SLS file set to use another renderer can be easily added to the tree.

       This example shows a very basic Python SLS file:

       python/django.sls:

          #!py

          def run():
              """
              Install the django package
              """
              return {"include": ["python"], "django": {"pkg": ["installed"]}}

       This  is  a very simple example; the first line has an SLS shebang that tells Salt to not use the default
       renderer, but to use the py renderer.  Then the run function is defined, the return value  from  the  run
       function must be a Salt friendly data structure, or better known as a Salt HighState data structure.

       Alternatively, using the pydsl renderer, the above example can be written more succinctly as:

          #!pydsl

          include("python", delayed=True)
          state("django").pkg.installed()

       The  pyobjects  renderer  provides  an "Pythonic" object based approach for building the state data.  The
       above example could be written as:

          #!pyobjects

          include("python")
          Pkg.installed("django")

       These Python examples would look like this if they were written in YAML:

          include:
            - python

          django:
            pkg.installed

       This example clearly illustrates that; one, using the YAML renderer by default is  a  wise  decision  and
       two, unbridled power can be obtained where needed by using a pure Python SLS.

   Running and Debugging Salt States
       Once  the  rules in an SLS are ready, they should be tested to ensure they work properly. To invoke these
       rules, simply execute salt '*' state.apply on the command line. If you get back only hostnames with  a  :
       after,  but  no  return, chances are there is a problem with one or more of the sls files. On the minion,
       use the salt-call command to examine the output for errors:

          salt-call state.apply -l debug

       This should help troubleshoot the issue. The minion can also be started in the foreground in  debug  mode
       by running salt-minion -l debug.

   Next Reading
       With  an  understanding  of  states,  the  next  recommendation  is to become familiar with Salt's pillar
       interface:
          Pillar Walkthrough

   States tutorial, part 1 - Basic Usage
       The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate how quickly you can configure a system to  be  managed  by
       Salt States. For detailed information about the state system please refer to the full states reference.

       This tutorial will walk you through using Salt to configure a minion to run the Apache HTTP server and to
       ensure the server is running.

       Before  continuing  make  sure you have a working Salt installation by following the installation and the
       configuration instructions.

          Stuck?

                 There are many ways to salt-community including our mailing list and our IRC channel #salt.

   Setting up the Salt State Tree
       States are stored in text files on the master and transferred to the minions on demand via  the  master's
       File Server. The collection of state files make up the State Tree.

       To start using a central state system in Salt, the Salt File Server must first be set up. Edit the master
       config file (file_roots) and uncomment the following lines:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       NOTE:
          If you are deploying on FreeBSD via ports, the file_roots path defaults to /usr/local/etc/salt/states.

       Restart the Salt master in order to pick up this change:

          pkill salt-master
          salt-master -d

   Preparing the Top File
       On  the  master,  in the directory uncommented in the previous step, (/srv/salt by default), create a new
       file called top.sls and add the following:

          base:
            '*':
              - webserver

       The top file is separated into environments (discussed later). The default environment is base. Under the
       base environment a collection of minion matches is defined; for now simply specify all hosts (*).

          Targeting minions

                 The expressions can use any of the targeting mechanisms used by Salt — minions can  be  matched
                 by glob, PCRE regular expression, or by grains. For example:

              base:
                'os:Fedora':
                  - match: grain
                  - webserver

   Create an sls file
       In the same directory as the top file, create a file named webserver.sls, containing the following:

          apache:                 # ID declaration
            pkg:                  # state declaration
              - installed         # function declaration

       The  first line, called the id-declaration, is an arbitrary identifier.  In this case it defines the name
       of the package to be installed.

       NOTE:
          The package name for the Apache httpd web server may differ depending on OS or distro —  for  example,
          on Fedora it is httpd but on Debian/Ubuntu it is apache2.

       The  second  line,  called  the state-declaration, defines which of the Salt States we are using. In this
       example, we are using the pkg state to ensure that a given package is installed.

       The third line, called the function-declaration, defines which function in the pkg state module to call.

          Renderers

                 States sls files can be written in many formats. Salt requires only a simple data structure and
                 is not concerned with how that data structure is built. Templating languages  and  DSLs  are  a
                 dime-a-dozen and everyone has a favorite.

                 Building  the  expected data structure is the job of Salt renderers and they are dead-simple to
                 write.

                 In this tutorial we will be using YAML in Jinja2 templates, which is the  default  format.  The
                 default can be changed by editing renderer in the master configuration file.

   Install the package
       Next, let's run the state we created. Open a terminal on the master and run:

          salt '*' state.apply

       Our master is instructing all targeted minions to run state.apply. When this function is executed without
       any SLS targets, a minion will download the top file and attempt to match the expressions within it. When
       the minion does match an expression the modules listed for it will be downloaded, compiled, and executed.

       NOTE:
          This  action  is  referred  to  as  a  "highstate", and can be run using the state.highstate function.
          However, to make the usage easier to understand ("highstate" is not necessarily an intuitive name),  a
          state.apply  function  was  added  in  version 2015.5.0, which when invoked without any SLS names will
          trigger a highstate.  state.highstate still exists and can be used, but the documentation (as  can  be
          seen  above)  has been updated to reference state.apply, so keep the following in mind as you read the
          documentation:

          • state.apply invoked without any SLS names will run state.highstatestate.apply invoked with SLS names will run state.sls

       Once completed, the minion will report back with a summary of all actions taken and all changes made.

       WARNING:
          If you have created custom grain modules, they will not be available in the top file until  after  the
          first  highstate.  To make custom grains available on a minion's first highstate, it is recommended to
          use this example to ensure that the custom grains are synced when the minion starts.

          SLS File Namespace

                 Note that in the example above, the SLS file webserver.sls was referred to simply as webserver.
                 The namespace for SLS files when referenced in top.sls or an include-declaration follows a  few
                 simple rules:

          1. The .sls is discarded (i.e. webserver.sls becomes webserver).

          2.

             Subdirectories can be used for better organization.

                    a. Each  subdirectory  is represented with a dot (following the Python import model) in Salt
                       states and on the command line .  webserver/dev.sls on the filesystem is referred  to  as
                       webserver.dev in Salt

                    b. Because  slashes  are  represented  as  dots,  SLS files can not contain dots in the name
                       (other than the dot for the SLS suffix).  The  SLS  file  webserver_1.0.sls  can  not  be
                       matched, and webserver_1.0 would match the directory/file webserver_1/0.sls

          3. A  file  called  init.sls  in  a  subdirectory  is  referred  to  by the path of the directory. So,
             webserver/init.sls is referred to as webserver.

          4. If both webserver.sls and webserver/init.sls happen to exist, webserver/init.sls  will  be  ignored
             and webserver.sls will be the file referred to as webserver.

          Troubleshooting Salt

                 If the expected output isn't seen, the following tips can help to narrow down the problem.

          Turn up logging
                 Salt can be quite chatty when you change the logging setting to debug:

                     salt-minion -l debug

          Run the minion in the foreground
                 By  not  starting  the minion in daemon mode (-d) one can view any output from the minion as it
                 works:

                     salt-minion

          Increase the default timeout value when running salt. For example, to change the default timeout to 60
          seconds:

              salt -t 60

          For best results, combine all three:

              salt-minion -l debug        # On the minion
              salt '*' state.apply -t 60  # On the master

   Next steps
       This tutorial focused on getting a simple Salt States configuration working.  Part 2 will build  on  this
       example to cover more advanced sls syntax and will explore more of the states that ship with Salt.

   States tutorial, part 2 - More Complex States, Requisites
       NOTE:
          This tutorial builds on topics covered in part 1. It is recommended that you begin there.

       In  the  last part of the Salt States tutorial we covered the basics of installing a package. We will now
       modify our webserver.sls file to have requirements, and use even more Salt States.

   Call multiple States
       You can specify multiple state-declaration under an id-declaration. For example, a quick modification  to
       our webserver.sls to also start Apache if it is not running:

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

       Try stopping Apache before running state.apply once again and observe the output.

       NOTE:
          For  those running RedhatOS derivatives (Centos, AWS), you will want to specify the service name to be
          httpd. More on state service here, service state.  With the example above, just add  "-  name:  httpd"
          above the require line and with the same spacing.

   Require other states
       We now have a working installation of Apache so let's add an HTML file to customize our website. It isn't
       exactly useful to have a website without a webserver so we don't want Salt to install our HTML file until
       Apache is installed and running. Include the following at the bottom of your webserver/init.sls file:

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          /var/www/index.html:                        # ID declaration
            file:                                     # state declaration
              - managed                               # function
              - source: salt://webserver/index.html   # function arg
              - require:                              # requisite declaration
                - pkg: apache                         # requisite reference

       line 7 is the id-declaration. In this example it is the location we want to install our custom HTML file.
       (Note:  the  default location that Apache serves may differ from the above on your OS or distro. /srv/www
       could also be a likely place to look.)

       Line 8 the state-declaration. This example uses the Salt file state.

       Line 9 is the function-declaration. The managed function will download a file from the master and install
       it in the location specified.

       Line 10 is a function-arg-declaration which, in this example, passes the source argument to  the  managed
       function.

       Line 11 is a requisite-declaration.

       Line  12 is a requisite-reference which refers to a state and an ID.  In this example, it is referring to
       the ID declaration from our example in part 1. This declaration tells Salt not to install the  HTML  file
       until Apache is installed.

       Next, create the index.html file and save it in the webserver directory:

          <!DOCTYPE html>
          <html>
              <head><title>Salt rocks</title></head>
              <body>
                  <h1>This file brought to you by Salt</h1>
              </body>
          </html>

       Last, call state.apply again and the minion will fetch and execute the highstate as well as our HTML file
       from the master using Salt's File Server:

       Verify that Apache is now serving your custom HTML.

          require vs. watch

                 There  are two requisite-declaration, “require”, and “watch”. Not every state supports “watch”.
                 The service state does support “watch” and will restart a service based on the watch condition.

                 For example, if you use Salt to install an Apache virtual host configuration file and  want  to
                 restart  Apache  whenever that file is changed you could modify our Apache example from earlier
                 as follows:

              /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
                file.managed:
                  - source: salt://webserver/httpd-vhosts.conf

              apache:
                pkg.installed: []
                service.running:
                  - watch:
                    - file: /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
                  - require:
                    - pkg: apache

          If the pkg and service names differ on your OS or distro of choice you can specify each one separately
          using a name-declaration which explained in Part 3.

   Next steps
       In part 3 we will discuss how to use includes, extends, and templating to make a more complete State Tree
       configuration.

   States tutorial, part 3 - Templating, Includes, Extends
       NOTE:
          This tutorial builds on topics covered in part 1 and part 2. It is recommended that you begin there.

       This part of the tutorial will cover more advanced templating and configuration techniques for sls files.

   Templating SLS modules
       SLS modules may require  programming  logic  or  inline  execution.  This  is  accomplished  with  module
       templating.  The  default  module templating system used is Jinja2  and may be configured by changing the
       renderer value in the master config.

       All states are passed through a templating system when they are initially  read.   To  make  use  of  the
       templating system, simply add some templating markup.  An example of an sls module with templating markup
       may look like this:

          {% for usr in ['moe','larry','curly'] %}
          {{ usr }}:
            user.present
          {% endfor %}

       This templated sls file once generated will look like this:

          moe:
            user.present
          larry:
            user.present
          curly:
            user.present

       Here's a more complex example:

          # Comments in yaml start with a hash symbol.
          # Since jinja rendering occurs before yaml parsing, if you want to include jinja
          # in the comments you may need to escape them using 'jinja' comments to prevent
          # jinja from trying to render something which is not well-defined jinja.
          # e.g.
          # {# iterate over the Three Stooges using a {% for %}..{% endfor %} loop
          # with the iterator variable {{ usr }} becoming the state ID. #}
          {% for usr in 'moe','larry','curly' %}
          {{ usr }}:
            group:
              - present
            user:
              - present
              - gid_from_name: True
              - require:
                - group: {{ usr }}
          {% endfor %}

   Using Grains in SLS modules
       Often  times  a state will need to behave differently on different systems.  Salt grains objects are made
       available in the template context. The grains can be used from within sls modules:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat' %}
              - name: httpd
              {% elif grains['os'] == 'Ubuntu' %}
              - name: apache2
              {% endif %}

   Using Environment Variables in SLS modules
       You can use salt['environ.get']('VARNAME') to use an environment variable in a Salt state.

          MYENVVAR="world" salt-call state.template test.sls

          Create a file with contents from an environment variable:
            file.managed:
              - name: /tmp/hello
              - contents: {{ salt['environ.get']('MYENVVAR') }}

       Error checking:

          {% set myenvvar = salt['environ.get']('MYENVVAR') %}
          {% if myenvvar %}

          Create a file with contents from an environment variable:
            file.managed:
              - name: /tmp/hello
              - contents: {{ salt['environ.get']('MYENVVAR') }}

          {% else %}

          Fail - no environment passed in:
            test.fail_without_changes

          {% endif %}

   Calling Salt modules from templates
       All of the Salt modules loaded by the minion are available within the templating system. This allows data
       to be gathered in real time on the target system. It also allows for shell commands to be run easily from
       within the sls modules.

       The Salt module functions are also made available in the template context as salt:

       The following example illustrates calling the group_to_gid function in the file execution module  with  a
       single positional argument called some_group_that_exists.

          moe:
            user.present:
              - gid: {{ salt['file.group_to_gid']('some_group_that_exists') }}

       One  way  to  think  about  this  might  be  that the gid key is being assigned a value equivalent to the
       following python pseudo-code:

          import salt.modules.file

          file.group_to_gid("some_group_that_exists")

       Note that for the above example to work, some_group_that_exists must  exist  before  the  state  file  is
       processed by the templating engine.

       Below is an example that uses the network.hw_addr function to retrieve the MAC address for eth0:

          salt["network.hw_addr"]("eth0")

       To examine the possible arguments to each execution module function, one can examine the module reference
       documentation:

   Advanced SLS module syntax
       Lastly, we will cover some incredibly useful techniques for more complex State trees.

   Include declaration
       A  previous  example  showed  how to spread a Salt tree across several files.  Similarly, requisites span
       multiple files by using an include-declaration. For example:

       python/python-libs.sls:

          python-dateutil:
            pkg.installed

       python/django.sls:

          include:
            - python.python-libs

          django:
            pkg.installed:
              - require:
                - pkg: python-dateutil

   Extend declaration
       You can modify previous declarations by using an extend-declaration. For example the  following  modifies
       the Apache tree to also restart Apache when the vhosts file is changed:

       apache/apache.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed

       apache/mywebsite.sls:

          include:
            - apache.apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - running
                - watch:
                  - file: /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

          /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/httpd-vhosts.conf

          Using extend with require or watch

                 The  extend  statement  works  differently  for  require  or watch.  It appends to, rather than
                 replacing the requisite component.

   Name declaration
       You can override the id-declaration by using a name-declaration.  For example, the previous example is  a
       bit more maintainable if rewritten as follows:

       apache/mywebsite.sls:

          include:
            - apache.apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - running
                - watch:
                  - file: mywebsite

          mywebsite:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
              - source: salt://apache/httpd-vhosts.conf

   Names declaration
       Even  more  powerful  is  using a names-declaration to override the id-declaration for multiple states at
       once. This often can remove the need for looping in a template. For example, the first  example  in  this
       tutorial can be rewritten without the loop:

          stooges:
            user.present:
              - names:
                - moe
                - larry
                - curly

   Next steps
       In  part  4  we  will  discuss  how  to use salt's file_roots to set up a workflow in which states can be
       "promoted" from dev, to QA, to production.

   States tutorial, part 4
       NOTE:
          This tutorial builds on topics covered in part 1, part 2, and part 3.   It  is  recommended  that  you
          begin there.

       This part of the tutorial will show how to use salt's file_roots to set up a workflow in which states can
       be "promoted" from dev, to QA, to production.

   Salt fileserver path inheritance
       Salt's  fileserver  allows  for  more than one root directory per environment, like in the below example,
       which uses both a local directory and a secondary location shared to the salt master via NFS:

          # In the master config file (/etc/salt/master)
          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt
              - /mnt/salt-nfs/base

       Salt's fileserver collapses the list of root directories into a single virtual environment containing all
       files from each root. If the same file exists at the same relative path in more than one root,  then  the
       top-most  match "wins". For example, if /srv/salt/foo.txt and /mnt/salt-nfs/base/foo.txt both exist, then
       salt://foo.txt will point to /srv/salt/foo.txt.

       NOTE:
          When using multiple fileserver backends, the order in which they are listed in the  fileserver_backend
          parameter also matters. If both roots and git backends contain a file with the same relative path, and
          roots  appears  before  git in the fileserver_backend list, then the file in roots will "win", and the
          file in gitfs will be ignored.

          A more thorough explanation of how Salt's modular fileserver works can be  found  here.  We  recommend
          reading this.

   Environment configuration
       Configure a multiple-environment setup like so:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt/prod
            qa:
              - /srv/salt/qa
              - /srv/salt/prod
            dev:
              - /srv/salt/dev
              - /srv/salt/qa
              - /srv/salt/prod

       Given  the  path  inheritance  described  above,  files  within  /srv/salt/prod would be available in all
       environments. Files within /srv/salt/qa would be available in both qa, and dev. Finally, the files within
       /srv/salt/dev would only be available within the dev environment.

       Based on the order in which the roots are defined, new files/states can be placed  within  /srv/salt/dev,
       and pushed out to the dev hosts for testing.

       Those  files/states  can  then  be  moved to the same relative path within /srv/salt/qa, and they are now
       available only in the dev and qa environments, allowing them to be pushed to QA hosts and tested.

       Finally, if moved to the same relative path within /srv/salt/prod, the files are  now  available  in  all
       three environments.

   Requesting files from specific fileserver environments
       See here for documentation on how to request files from specific environments.

   Practical Example
       As  an  example, consider a simple website, installed to /var/www/foobarcom.  Below is a top.sls that can
       be used to deploy the website:

       /srv/salt/prod/top.sls:

          base:
            'web*prod*':
              - webserver.foobarcom
          qa:
            'web*qa*':
              - webserver.foobarcom
          dev:
            'web*dev*':
              - webserver.foobarcom

       Using pillar, roles can be assigned to the hosts:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            'web*prod*':
              - webserver.prod
            'web*qa*':
              - webserver.qa
            'web*dev*':
              - webserver.dev

       /srv/pillar/webserver/prod.sls:

          webserver_role: prod

       /srv/pillar/webserver/qa.sls:

          webserver_role: qa

       /srv/pillar/webserver/dev.sls:

          webserver_role: dev

       And finally, the SLS to deploy the website:

       /srv/salt/prod/webserver/foobarcom.sls:

          {% if pillar.get('webserver_role', '') %}
          /var/www/foobarcom:
            file.recurse:
              - source: salt://webserver/src/foobarcom
              - env: {{ pillar['webserver_role'] }}
              - user: www
              - group: www
              - dir_mode: 755
              - file_mode: 644
          {% endif %}

       Given   the   above   SLS,   the   source   for   the   website   should   initially   be    placed    in
       /srv/salt/dev/webserver/src/foobarcom.

       First, let's deploy to dev. Given the configuration in the top file, this can be done using state.apply:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:dev' state.apply

       However,  in  the  event  that  it is not desirable to apply all states configured in the top file (which
       could be likely in more complex setups), it is possible to  apply  just  the  states  for  the  foobarcom
       website, by invoking state.apply with the desired SLS target as an argument:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:dev' state.apply webserver.foobarcom

       Once    the    site    has    been    tested    in    dev,   then   the   files   can   be   moved   from
       /srv/salt/dev/webserver/src/foobarcom to /srv/salt/qa/webserver/src/foobarcom,  and  deployed  using  the
       following:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:qa' state.apply webserver.foobarcom

       Finally,   once   the   site   has   been   tested   in   qa,   then   the   files   can  be  moved  from
       /srv/salt/qa/webserver/src/foobarcom to /srv/salt/prod/webserver/src/foobarcom, and  deployed  using  the
       following:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:prod' state.apply webserver.foobarcom

       Thanks  to Salt's fileserver inheritance, even though the files have been moved to within /srv/salt/prod,
       they are still available from the same salt:// URI in both the qa and dev environments.

   Continue Learning
       The best way to continue learning about Salt States is to read through the reference documentation and to
       look through examples of existing state trees. Many pre-configured state trees can be found on GitHub  in
       the saltstack-formulas collection of repositories.

       If  you  have  any  questions, suggestions, or just want to chat with other people who are using Salt, we
       have a very active community and we'd love to hear from you.

       In addition, by continuing to the Orchestrate Runner docs, you can learn about the powerful orchestration
       of which Salt is capable.

   States Tutorial, Part 5 - Orchestration with Salt
       This was moved to Orchestrate Runner.

   Syslog-ng usage
   Overview
       Syslog_ng state module is for generating syslog-ng configurations. You can do the following things:

       • generate syslog-ng configuration from YAML,

       • use non-YAML configuration,

       • start, stop or reload syslog-ng.

       There is also an execution module, which can check the syntax of the configuration, get the  version  and
       other information about syslog-ng.

   Configuration
       Users  can  create  syslog-ng  configuration statements with the syslog_ng.config function. It requires a
       name and a config parameter. The name parameter determines the name of the generated  statement  and  the
       config parameter holds a parsed YAML structure.

       A statement can be declared in the following forms (both are equivalent):

          source.s_localhost:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  - tcp:
                    - ip: "127.0.0.1"
                    - port: 1233

          s_localhost:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  source:
                    - tcp:
                      - ip: "127.0.0.1"
                      - port: 1233

       The first one is called short form, because it needs less typing. Users can use lists and dictionaries to
       specify  their  configuration.  The  format  is quite self describing and there are more examples [at the
       end](#examples) of this document.

   Quotation
       The quotation can be tricky sometimes but here are some rules to follow:

              • when a string meant to be "string" in the generated configuration, it should be like  '"string"'
                in the YAML document

              • similarly, users should write "'string'" to get 'string' in the generated configuration

   Full example
       The following configuration is an example, how a complete syslog-ng configuration looks like:

          # Set the location of the configuration file
          set_location:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.set_config_file
              - m_name: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf"

          # The syslog-ng and syslog-ng-ctl binaries are here. You needn't use
          # this method if these binaries can be found in a directory in your PATH.
          set_bin_path:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.set_binary_path
              - m_name: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/sbin"

          # Writes the first lines into the config file, also erases its previous
          # content
          write_version:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.write_version
              - m_name: "3.6"

          # There is a shorter form to set the above variables
          set_variables:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.set_parameters
              - version: "3.6"
              - binary_path: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/sbin"
              - config_file: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf"

          # Some global options
          options.global_options:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  - time_reap: 30
                  - mark_freq: 10
                  - keep_hostname: "yes"

          source.s_localhost:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  - tcp:
                    - ip: "127.0.0.1"
                    - port: 1233

          destination.d_log_server:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  - tcp:
                    - "127.0.0.1"
                    - port: 1234

       The syslog_ng.reloaded function can generate syslog-ng configuration from YAML. If the statement (source,
       destination,  parser,  etc.) has a name, this function uses the id as the name, otherwise (log statement)
       its purpose is like a mandatory comment.

       After execution this example the syslog_ng state will generate this file:

   Syslog_ng module functions
       You can use syslog_ng.set_binary_path to set the directory which contains the syslog-ng and syslog-ng-ctl
       binaries. If this directory is in your PATH, you don't need  to  use  this  function.  There  is  also  a
       syslog_ng.set_config_file function to set the location of the configuration file.

   Salt in 10 Minutes
       NOTE:
          Welcome  to  SaltStack!  I  am  excited  that you are interested in Salt and starting down the path to
          better infrastructure management. I developed (and am continuing to develop) Salt  with  the  goal  of
          making  the  best  software available to manage computers of almost any kind. I hope you enjoy working
          with Salt and that the software can solve your real world needs!

          • Thomas S Hatch

          • Salt creator and Chief Developer

          • CTO of SaltStack, Inc.

   Getting Started
   What is Salt?
       Salt is a  different  approach  to  infrastructure  management,  founded  on  the  idea  that  high-speed
       communication  with  large  numbers  of  systems can open up new capabilities. This approach makes Salt a
       powerful multitasking system that can solve many specific problems in an infrastructure.

       The  backbone  of  Salt  is  the  remote  execution  engine,  which  creates  a  high-speed,  secure  and
       bi-directional  communication  net  for  groups  of  systems.  On  top of this communication system, Salt
       provides an extremely fast, flexible, and easy-to-use configuration management system called Salt States.

   Installing Salt
       SaltStack has been made to be very easy to install and get started. The  installation  documents  contain
       instructions for all supported platforms.

   Starting Salt
       Salt  functions  on  a  master/minion  topology.  A  master  server acts as a central control bus for the
       clients, which are called minions. The minions connect back to the master.

   Setting Up the Salt Master
       Turning on the Salt Master is easy -- just turn it on! The default configuration is suitable for the vast
       majority of installations. The Salt Master can be controlled by the local Linux/Unix service manager:

       On Systemd based platforms (newer Debian, openSUSE, Fedora):

          systemctl start salt-master

       On Upstart based systems (Ubuntu, older Fedora/RHEL):

          service salt-master start

       On SysV Init systems (Gentoo, older Debian etc.):

          /etc/init.d/salt-master start

       Alternatively, the Master can be started directly on the command-line:

          salt-master -d

       The Salt Master can also be started in the foreground in debug mode, thus greatly increasing the  command
       output:

          salt-master -l debug

       The  Salt Master needs to bind to two TCP network ports on the system. These ports are 4505 and 4506. For
       more in depth information on firewalling these ports, the firewall tutorial is available here.

   Finding the Salt Master
       When a minion starts, by default it searches for a system that resolves  to  the  salt  hostname  on  the
       network.   If  found,  the  minion  initiates  the handshake and key authentication process with the Salt
       master.  This means that the easiest configuration approach is to set internal DNS to  resolve  the  name
       salt back to the Salt Master IP.

       Otherwise,  the  minion configuration file will need to be edited so that the configuration option master
       points to the DNS name or the IP of the Salt Master:

       NOTE:
          The default location  of  the  configuration  files  is  /etc/salt.  Most  platforms  adhere  to  this
          convention,  but  platforms  such  as  FreeBSD  and  Microsoft  Windows  place  this file in different
          locations.

       /etc/salt/minion:

          master: saltmaster.example.com

   Setting up a Salt Minion
       NOTE:
          The Salt Minion can operate with or without a Salt Master. This walk-through assumes that  the  minion
          will  be  connected  to  the master, for information on how to run a master-less minion please see the
          master-less quick-start guide:

          Masterless Minion Quickstart

       Now that the master can be found, start the minion in the same way as the master; with the platform  init
       system or via the command line directly:

       As a daemon:

          salt-minion -d

       In the foreground in debug mode:

          salt-minion -l debug

       When  the minion is started, it will generate an id value, unless it has been generated on a previous run
       and cached (in /etc/salt/minion_id by default). This is the name by which  the  minion  will  attempt  to
       authenticate  to  the  master. The following steps are attempted, in order to try to find a value that is
       not localhost:

       1. The Python function socket.getfqdn() is run

       2. /etc/hostname is checked (non-Windows only)

       3. /etc/hosts (%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows hosts) is checked for hostnames that map to
          anything within 127.0.0.0/8.

       If none of the above are able to produce an id which is not localhost, then a sorted list of IP addresses
       on the minion (excluding any within 127.0.0.0/8) is inspected. The first publicly-routable IP address  is
       used, if there is one. Otherwise, the first privately-routable IP address is used.

       If all else fails, then localhost is used as a fallback.

       NOTE:
          Overriding the id

          The  minion  id  can  be manually specified using the id parameter in the minion config file.  If this
          configuration value is specified, it will override all other sources for the id.

       Now that the minion is started, it will generate cryptographic keys and attempt to connect to the master.
       The next step is to venture back to the master server and accept the new minion's public key.

   Using salt-key
       Salt authenticates minions using  public-key  encryption  and  authentication.  For  a  minion  to  start
       accepting commands from the master, the minion keys need to be accepted by the master.

       The  salt-key  command  is used to manage all of the keys on the master. To list the keys that are on the
       master:

          salt-key -L

       The keys that have been rejected, accepted, and pending acceptance are listed.  The easiest way to accept
       the minion key is to accept all pending keys:

          salt-key -A

       NOTE:
          Keys should be verified! Print the master key fingerprint by running salt-key -F master  on  the  Salt
          master.  Copy  the  master.pub fingerprint from the Local Keys section, and then set this value as the
          master_finger in the minion configuration file. Restart the Salt minion.

          On the master, run salt-key -f minion-id to print the fingerprint of the minion's public key that  was
          received  by  the  master. On the minion, run salt-call key.finger --local to print the fingerprint of
          the minion key.

          On the master:

              # salt-key -f foo.domain.com
              Unaccepted Keys:
              foo.domain.com:  39:f9:e4:8a:aa:74:8d:52:1a:ec:92:03:82:09:c8:f9

          On the minion:

              # salt-call key.finger --local
              local:
                  39:f9:e4:8a:aa:74:8d:52:1a:ec:92:03:82:09:c8:f9

          If they match, approve the key with salt-key -a foo.domain.com.

   Sending the First Commands
       Now that the minion is connected to the master and authenticated, the master can  start  to  command  the
       minion.

       Salt  commands  allow  for  a vast set of functions to be executed and for specific minions and groups of
       minions to be targeted for execution.

       The salt command is comprised of command options, target specification,  the  function  to  execute,  and
       arguments to the function.

       A simple command to start with looks like this:

          salt '*' test.version

       The * is the target, which specifies all minions.

       test.version tells the minion to run the test.version function.

       In  the  case of test.version, test refers to a execution module.  version refers to the version function
       contained in the aforementioned test module.

       NOTE:
          Execution modules are the workhorses of Salt. They do the work on the system to perform various tasks,
          such as manipulating files and restarting services.

       The result of running this command will  be  the  master  instructing  all  of  the  minions  to  execute
       test.version  in  parallel  and  return the result. Using test.version is a good way of confirming that a
       minion is connected, and reaffirm to the user the salt version(s) they have installed on the minions.

       NOTE:
          Each minion registers itself with a unique minion ID. This ID defaults to the minion's  hostname,  but
          can be explicitly defined in the minion config as well by using the id parameter.

       Of course, there are hundreds of other modules that can be called just as test.version can.  For example,
       the following would return disk usage on all targeted minions:

          salt '*' disk.usage

   Getting to Know the Functions
       Salt  comes  with  a  vast  library  of  functions  available  for  execution,  and  Salt  functions  are
       self-documenting. To see what functions are available on the minions execute the sys.doc function:

          salt '*' sys.doc

       This will display a very large list of available functions and documentation on them.

       NOTE:
          Module documentation is also available on the web.

       These functions cover everything from  shelling  out  to  package  management  to  manipulating  database
       servers.  They  comprise  a  powerful  system  management API which is the backbone to Salt configuration
       management and many other aspects of Salt.

       NOTE:
          Salt comes with many plugin systems. The functions that are available via the salt command are  called
          Execution Modules.

   Helpful Functions to Know
       The cmd module contains functions to shell out on minions, such as cmd.run and cmd.run_all:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'ls -l /etc'

       The  pkg functions automatically map local system package managers to the same salt functions. This means
       that pkg.install will install packages via yum on Red Hat based systems, apt on Debian systems, etc.:

          salt '*' pkg.install vim

       NOTE:
          Some custom Linux spins and derivatives of other distributions are not properly detected by  Salt.  If
          the above command returns an error message saying that pkg.install is not available, then you may need
          to override the pkg provider. This process is explained here.

       The  network.interfaces  function  will  list  all interfaces on a minion, along with their IP addresses,
       netmasks, MAC addresses, etc:

          salt '*' network.interfaces

   Changing the Output Format
       The default output format used for most Salt commands is called  the  nested  outputter,  but  there  are
       several  other  outputters  that can be used to change the way the output is displayed. For instance, the
       pprint outputter can be used to display the return data using Python's pprint module:

          root@saltmaster:~# salt myminion grains.item pythonpath --out=pprint
          {'myminion': {'pythonpath': ['/usr/lib64/python2.7',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',
                                       '/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gst-0.10',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0']}}

       The full list of Salt outputters, as well as example output, can be found here.

   salt-call
       The examples so far have described running commands from the Master using  the  salt  command,  but  when
       troubleshooting it can be more beneficial to login to the minion directly and use salt-call.

       Doing so allows you to see the minion log messages specific to the command you are running (which are not
       part  of  the  return  data  you  see  when  running  the  command from the Master using salt), making it
       unnecessary to tail the minion log. More information on salt-call and how to use it can be found here.

   Grains
       Salt uses a system called Grains to build up static data about minions. This  data  includes  information
       about  the  operating  system  that is running, CPU architecture and much more. The grains system is used
       throughout Salt to deliver platform data to many components and to users.

       Grains can also be statically set, this makes it easy to  assign  values  to  minions  for  grouping  and
       managing.

       A  common  practice  is  to assign grains to minions to specify what the role or roles a minion might be.
       These static grains can be set in the minion configuration file or via the grains.setval function.

   Targeting
       Salt allows for minions to be targeted based on a wide range of criteria.  The default  targeting  system
       uses  globular expressions to match minions, hence if there are minions named larry1, larry2, curly1, and
       curly2, a glob of larry* will match larry1 and larry2, and a glob of *1 will match larry1 and curly1.

       Many other targeting systems can be used other than globs, these systems include:

       Regular Expressions
              Target using PCRE-compliant regular expressions

       Grains Target based on grains data: Targeting with Grains

       Pillar Target based on pillar data: Targeting with Pillar

       IP     Target based on IP address/subnet/range

       Compound
              Create logic to target based on multiple targets: Targeting with Compound

       Nodegroup
              Target with nodegroups: Targeting with Nodegroup

       The concepts of targets are used on the command line with Salt, but also function in many other areas  as
       well, including the state system and the systems used for ACLs and user permissions.

   Passing in Arguments
       Many of the functions available accept arguments which can be passed in on the command line:

          salt '*' pkg.install vim

       This  example  passes  the argument vim to the pkg.install function. Since many functions can accept more
       complex input than just a string, the arguments are parsed through YAML, allowing for more  complex  data
       to be sent on the command line:

          salt '*' test.echo 'foo: bar'

       In this case Salt translates the string 'foo: bar' into the dictionary "{'foo': 'bar'}"

       NOTE:
          Any line that contains a newline will not be parsed by YAML.

   Salt States
       Now  that  the basics are covered the time has come to evaluate States.  Salt States, or the State System
       is the component of Salt made for configuration management.

       The state system is already available with a basic Salt setup, no additional configuration  is  required.
       States can be set up immediately.

       NOTE:
          Before  diving into the state system, a brief overview of how states are constructed will make many of
          the concepts clearer. Salt states are based on data modeling and build on a low level  data  structure
          that is used to execute each state function. Then more logical layers are built on top of each other.

          The  high  layers of the state system which this tutorial will cover consists of everything that needs
          to be known to use states, the two high layers covered here are the sls layer and  the  highest  layer
          highstate.

          Understanding  the  layers of data management in the State System will help with understanding states,
          but they never need to be used. Just as understanding how a compiler functions assists when learning a
          programming language, understanding what is going on under the  hood  of  a  configuration  management
          system will also prove to be a valuable asset.

   The First SLS Formula
       The  state  system is built on SLS (SaLt State) formulas. These formulas are built out in files on Salt's
       file server. To make a very basic SLS formula open up a file under /srv/salt named vim.sls. The following
       state ensures that vim is installed on a system to which that state has been applied.

       /srv/salt/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

       Now install vim on the minions by calling the SLS directly:

          salt '*' state.apply vim

       This command will invoke the state system and run the vim SLS.

       Now, to beef up the vim SLS formula, a vimrc can be added:

       /srv/salt/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://vimrc
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root

       Now the desired vimrc needs to be  copied  into  the  Salt  file  server  to  /srv/salt/vimrc.  In  Salt,
       everything  is  a  file, so no path redirection needs to be accounted for. The vimrc file is placed right
       next to the vim.sls file.  The same command as above can be executed to all the vim SLS formulas and  now
       include managing the file.

       NOTE:
          Salt  does  not  need to be restarted/reloaded or have the master manipulated in any way when changing
          SLS formulas. They are instantly available.

   Adding Some Depth
       Obviously maintaining SLS formulas right in a single directory at the root of the file  server  will  not
       scale  out  to reasonably sized deployments. This is why more depth is required. Start by making an nginx
       formula a better way, make an nginx subdirectory and add an init.sls file:

       /srv/salt/nginx/init.sls:

          nginx:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx

       A few concepts are introduced in this SLS formula.

       First is the service statement which ensures that the nginx service is running.

       Of course, the nginx service can't be started unless the  package  is  installed  --  hence  the  require
       statement which sets up a dependency between the two.

       The  require  statement  makes sure that the required component is executed before and that it results in
       success.

       NOTE:
          The require option belongs to a family of  options  called  requisites.   Requisites  are  a  powerful
          component  of  Salt  States,  for  more  information on how requisites work and what is available see:
          Requisites

          Also evaluation ordering is available in Salt as well: Ordering States

       This new sls formula has a special name --  init.sls. When an SLS formula is named init.sls  it  inherits
       the  name  of  the  directory  path  that  contains it.  This formula can be referenced via the following
       command:

          salt '*' state.apply nginx

       NOTE:
          state.apply is just another remote execution function, just like test.version or disk.usage. It simply
          takes the name of an SLS file as an argument.

       Now that subdirectories can be used, the vim.sls  formula  can  be  cleaned  up.   To  make  things  more
       flexible,  move  the vim.sls and vimrc into a new subdirectory called edit and change the vim.sls file to
       reflect the change:

       /srv/salt/edit/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://edit/vimrc
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root

       Only the source path to the vimrc file has changed. Now the formula is referenced as edit.vim because  it
       resides in the edit subdirectory.  Now the edit subdirectory can contain formulas for emacs, nano, joe or
       any other editor that may need to be deployed.

       Two  walk-throughs  are  specifically  recommended  at  this  point.  First, a deeper run through States,
       followed by an explanation of Pillar.

       2. Pillar Walkthrough

       An understanding of Pillar is extremely helpful in using States.

   Getting Deeper Into States
       Two more in-depth States tutorials exist, which delve much more deeply into States functionality.

       1. How Do I Use Salt States?, covers much more to get off the ground with States.

       2. The States Tutorial also provides a fantastic introduction.

       These tutorials include much more in-depth information including templating SLS formulas etc.

   So Much More!
       This concludes the initial Salt walk-through, but there are  many  more  things  still  to  learn!  These
       documents will cover important core aspects of Salt:

       • Pillar

       • Job Management

       A few more tutorials are also available:

       • Remote Execution Tutorial

       • Standalone Minion

       This  still  is  only  scratching  the  surface,  many  components such as the reactor and event systems,
       extending Salt, modular components and more are not covered here. For an overview of  all  Salt  features
       and documentation, look at the Table of Contents.

   Salt's Test Suite: An Introduction
       NOTE:
          This  tutorial  makes a couple of assumptions. The first assumption is that you have a basic knowledge
          of Salt. To get up to speed, check out the Salt Walkthrough.

          The second assumption is that your Salt development environment is already  configured  and  that  you
          have  a  basic understanding of contributing to the Salt codebase. If you're unfamiliar with either of
          these topics, please refer to  the  Installing  Salt  for  Development  and  the  Contributing  pages,
          respectively.

       Salt comes with a powerful integration and unit test suite. The test suite allows for the fully automated
       run of integration and/or unit tests from a single interface.

       Salt's  test  suite  is  located under the tests directory in the root of Salt's code base and is divided
       into two main types of tests: unit tests and integration tests. The unit and integration  sub-test-suites
       are located in the tests directory, which is where the majority of Salt's test cases are housed.

   Getting Set Up For Tests
       First of all you will need to ensure you install nox.

          pip install nox

   Test Directory Structure
       As noted in the introduction to this tutorial, Salt's test suite is located in the tests directory in the
       root  of Salt's code base. From there, the tests are divided into two groups integration and unit. Within
       each of these directories, the directory structure roughly mirrors the directory structure of Salt's  own
       codebase.   For  example, the files inside tests/integration/modules contains tests for the files located
       within salt/modules.

       NOTE:
          tests/integration and tests/unit are the  only  directories  discussed  in  this  tutorial.  With  the
          exception  of  the  tests/runtests.py file, which is used below in the Running the Test Suite section,
          the other directories and files located in tests are outside the scope of this tutorial.

   Integration vs. Unit
       Given that Salt's test suite contains two powerful,  though  very  different,  testing  approaches,  when
       should you write integration tests and when should you write unit tests?

       Integration  tests  use Salt masters, minions, and a syndic to test salt functionality directly and focus
       on testing the interaction of these components. Salt's integration test runner includes functionality  to
       run  Salt  execution  modules, runners, states, shell commands, salt-ssh commands, salt-api commands, and
       more. This provides a tremendous ability to use Salt to test  itself  and  makes  writing  such  tests  a
       breeze.  Integration tests are the preferred method of testing Salt functionality when possible.

       Unit  tests  do  not  spin  up  any  Salt  daemons,  but  instead  find  their  value in testing singular
       implementations of individual functions. Instead of testing against  specific  interactions,  unit  tests
       should  be  used to test a function's logic. Unit tests should be used to test a function's exit point(s)
       such as any return or raises statements.

       Unit tests are also useful in cases where writing an integration test might not be  possible.  While  the
       integration  test  suite  is  extremely  powerful,  unfortunately  at  this  time,  it does not cover all
       functional areas of Salt's ecosystem. For example, at the time of this writing, there is  not  a  way  to
       write  integration tests for Proxy Minions. Since the test runner will need to be adjusted to account for
       Proxy Minion processes, unit tests can still provide some testing support in the interim by  testing  the
       logic contained inside Proxy Minion functions.

   Running the Test Suite
       Once all of the requirements are installed, the nox command is used to instantiate Salt's test suite:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       The  command  above,  if  executed without any options, will run the entire suite of integration and unit
       tests. Some tests require certain flags to run, such  as  destructive  tests.  If  these  flags  are  not
       included, then the test suite will only perform the tests that don't require special attention.

       At  the  end  of  the  test  run, you will see a summary output of the tests that passed, failed, or were
       skipped.

       You can pass any pytest options after the nox command like so:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/modules/test_ps.py

       The above command will run the test_ps.py test with the zeromq transport, python3, and pytest. The option
       after -- can include any pytest options.

   Running Integration Tests
       Salt's set of integration tests use Salt to test itself.  The  integration  portion  of  the  test  suite
       includes  some  built-in Salt daemons that will spin up in preparation of the test run. This list of Salt
       daemon processes includes:

       • 2 Salt Masters

       • 2 Salt Minions

       • 1 Salt Syndic

       These various daemons are used to execute Salt commands and functionality within the test suite, allowing
       you to write tests to assert against expected or unexpected behaviors.

       A simple example of a test utilizing a typical master/minion execution module command is the test for the
       test_ping function in the tests/integration/modules/test_test.py file:

          def test_ping(self):
              """
              test.ping
              """
              self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

       The test above is a very simple example where the test.ping function is executed  by  Salt's  test  suite
       runner and is asserting that the minion returned with a True response.

   Test Selection Options
       If  you  want  to run only a subset of tests, this is easily done with pytest. You only need to point the
       test runner to the directory. For example if you want to run all integration module tests:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/

   Running Unit Tests
       If you want to run only the unit tests, you can just pass the unit test directory as  an  option  to  the
       test runner.

       The  unit  tests  do  not  spin  up any Salt testing daemons as the integration tests do and execute very
       quickly compared to the integration tests.

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/

   Running Specific Tests
       There are times when a specific test file, test class, or even a  single,  individual  test  need  to  be
       executed, such as when writing new tests. In these situations, you should use the pytest syntax to select
       the specific tests.

       For  running  a  single test file, such as the pillar module test file in the integration test directory,
       you must provide the file path.

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/test_pillar.py

       Some test files contain only one test class while other test files contain multiple test classes. To  run
       a specific test class within the file, append the name of the test class to the end of the file path:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/test_pillar.py::PillarModuleTest

       To  run  a  single test within a file, append both the name of the test class the individual test belongs
       to, as well as the name of the test itself:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/test_pillar.py::PillarModuleTest::test_data

       The  following  command  is  an  example   of   how   to   execute   a   single   test   found   in   the
       tests/unit/modules/test_cp.py file:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/modules/test_cp.py::CpTestCase::test_get_file_not_found

   Writing Tests for Salt
       Once  you're comfortable running tests, you can now start writing them! Be sure to review the Integration
       vs. Unit section of this tutorial to determine what type of test makes the most sense for the code you're
       testing.

       NOTE:
          There are many decorators, naming conventions, and code specifications required for Salt  test  files.
          We  will  not  be  covering  all  of the these specifics in this tutorial. Please refer to the testing
          documentation links listed below in the Additional Testing Documentation section to learn  more  about
          these requirements.

          In  the  following  sections,  the test examples assume the "new" test is added to a test file that is
          already present and regularly running in the test suite and is written with the correct requirements.

   Writing Integration Tests
       Since integration tests validate against a running environment, as explained in the  Running  Integration
       Tests  section of this tutorial, integration tests are very easy to write and are generally the preferred
       method of writing Salt tests.

       The following integration test is an example taken from the test.py file in the tests/integration/modules
       directory. This test uses the run_function method to test the functionality of  a  traditional  execution
       module command.

       The  run_function  method  uses  the integration test daemons to execute a module.function command as you
       would with Salt. The minion runs the function and returns. The test also uses Python's  Assert  Functions
       to test that the minion's return is expected.

          def test_ping(self):
              """
              test.ping
              """
              self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

       Args can be passed in to the run_function method as well:

          def test_echo(self):
              """
              test.echo
              """
              self.assertEqual(self.run_function("test.echo", ["text"]), "text")

       The next example is taken from the tests/integration/modules/test_aliases.py file and demonstrates how to
       pass  kwargs  to the run_function call. Also note that this test uses another salt function to ensure the
       correct data is  present  (via  the  aliases.set_target  call)  before  attempting  to  assert  what  the
       aliases.get_target call should return.

          def test_set_target(self):
              """
              aliases.set_target and aliases.get_target
              """
              set_ret = self.run_function("aliases.set_target", alias="fred", target="bob")
              self.assertTrue(set_ret)
              tgt_ret = self.run_function("aliases.get_target", alias="fred")
              self.assertEqual(tgt_ret, "bob")

       Using  multiple  Salt commands in this manner provides two useful benefits. The first is that it provides
       some additional coverage for the  aliases.set_target  function.   The  second  benefit  is  the  call  to
       aliases.get_target is not dependent on the presence of any aliases set outside of this test. Tests should
       not  be  dependent on the previous execution, success, or failure of other tests. They should be isolated
       from other tests as much as possible.

       While it might be tempting to build out a test file where tests depend on  one  another  before  running,
       this  should  be  avoided. SaltStack recommends that each test should test a single functionality and not
       rely on other tests. Therefore, when possible, individual tests should also be broken  up  into  singular
       pieces.  These  are  not  hard-and-fast  rules,  but serve more as recommendations to keep the test suite
       simple.  This helps with debugging code and related tests when failures occur and problems  are  exposed.
       There  may  be  instances  where  large tests use many asserts to set up a use case that protects against
       potential regressions.

       NOTE:
          The examples above all use the run_function option to test execution module functions in a traditional
          master/minion environment. To see examples of how  to  test  other  common  Salt  components  such  as
          runners, salt-api, and more, please refer to the Integration Test Class Examples documentation.

   Destructive vs Non-destructive Tests
       Since  Salt is used to change the settings and behavior of systems, often, the best approach to run tests
       is to make actual changes to an underlying system.  This is where the concept of destructive  integration
       tests  comes into play.  Tests can be written to alter the system they are running on. This capability is
       what fills in the gap needed to properly test aspects of system management like package installation.

       To write a destructive test, import and use the destructiveTest decorator for the test method:

          import integration
          from tests.support.helpers import destructiveTest

          class PkgTest(integration.ModuleCase):
              @destructiveTest
              def test_pkg_install(self):
                  ret = self.run_function("pkg.install", name="finch")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)
                  ret = self.run_function("pkg.purge", name="finch")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)

   Writing Unit Tests
       As explained in the Integration vs. Unit section above, unit tests should be written to test the logic of
       a function. This includes focusing on testing return and raises statements. Substantial effort should  be
       made to mock external resources that are used in the code being tested.

       External  resources that should be mocked include, but are not limited to, APIs, function calls, external
       data either globally available or passed in through function arguments, file  data,  etc.  This  practice
       helps  to  isolate  unit  tests to test Salt logic. One handy way to think about writing unit tests is to
       "block all of the exits". More information about how to properly mock external resources can be found  in
       Salt's Unit Test documentation.

       Salt's  unit tests utilize Python's mock class as well as MagicMock. The @patch decorator is also heavily
       used when "blocking all the exits".

       A simple example of a unit test currently in use in Salt  is  the  test_get_file_not_found  test  in  the
       tests/unit/modules/test_cp.py file.  This test uses the @patch decorator and MagicMock to mock the return
       of  the  call  to  Salt's  cp.hash_file  execution  module  function. This ensures that we're testing the
       cp.get_file function directly, instead of inadvertently testing the call to cp.hash_file, which  is  used
       in cp.get_file.

          def test_get_file_not_found(self):
              """
              Test if get_file can't find the file.
              """
              with patch("salt.modules.cp.hash_file", MagicMock(return_value=False)):
                  path = "salt://saltines"
                  dest = "/srv/salt/cheese"
                  ret = ""
                  assert cp.get_file(path, dest) == ret

       Note  that  Salt's  cp  module  is imported at the top of the file, along with all of the other necessary
       testing imports. The get_file function is then called directed in the testing function, instead of  using
       the run_function method as the integration test examples do above.

       The  call  to  cp.get_file  returns an empty string when a hash_file isn't found.  Therefore, the example
       above is a good illustration of a unit test "blocking the exits" via the @patch  decorator,  as  well  as
       testing  logic  via  asserting against the return statement in the if clause. In this example we used the
       python assert to verify the return from cp.get_file. Pytest allows you to use these asserts when  writing
       your  tests  and,  in  fact, plain asserts is the preferred way to assert anything in your tests. As Salt
       dives deeper into Pytest, the use of unittest.TestClass will be replaced by plain test functions, or test
       functions grouped in a class, which does not subclass unittest.TestClass, which, of course, doesn't  work
       with unittest assert functions.

       There are more examples of writing unit tests of varying complexities available in the following docs:

       • Simple Unit Test Example

       • Complete Unit Test Example

       • Complex Unit Test Example

       NOTE:
          Considerable  care  should  be  made  to  ensure  that  you're  testing  something useful in your test
          functions. It is very easy to fall into a situation where you have mocked  so  much  of  the  original
          function that the test results in only asserting against the data you have provided. This results in a
          poor and fragile unit test.

   Add a python module dependency to the test run
       The  test  dependencies  for python modules are managed under the requirements/static directory. You will
       need to add your module to the appropriate file under requirements/static.  When  pre-commit  is  run  it
       will  create  all of the needed requirement files under requirements/static/py3{5,6,7}. Nox will then use
       these files to install the requirements for the tests.

   Add a system dependency to the test run
       If you need to add a system dependency for the test run, this will need to be added in the  salt  jenkins
       repo.   This   repo   uses  salt  states  to  install  system  dependencies.   You  need  to  update  the
       state-tree/golden-images-provision.sls file with your dependency to ensure it is installed. Once your  PR
       is merged the core team will need to promote the new images with your new dependency installed.

   Checking for Log Messages
       To test to see if a given log message has been emitted, the following pattern can be used

          # Import logging handler
          from tests.support.helpers import TstSuiteLoggingHandler

          # .. inside test
          with TstSuiteLoggingHandler() as handler:
              for message in handler.messages:
                  if message.startswith("ERROR: This is the error message we seek"):
                      break
                  else:
                      raise AssertionError("Did not find error message")

   Automated Test Runs
       SaltStack  maintains  a  Jenkins  server which can be viewed at https://jenkins.saltproject.io. The tests
       executed from this Jenkins server create fresh virtual machines for  each  test  run,  then  execute  the
       destructive  tests  on  the  new,  clean  virtual  machine. This allows for the execution of tests across
       supported platforms.

   Troubleshooting
       The intent of the troubleshooting section is  to  introduce  solutions  to  a  number  of  common  issues
       encountered by users and the tools that are available to aid in developing States and Salt code.

   Troubleshooting the Salt Master
       If  your  Salt  master  is  having  issues such as minions not returning data, slow execution times, or a
       variety of other issues, the following links contain details on troubleshooting the  most  common  issues
       encountered:

   Troubleshooting the Salt Master
   Running in the Foreground
       A  great  deal  of  information  is available via the debug logging system, if you are having issues with
       minions connecting or not starting run the master in the foreground:

          # salt-master -l debug

       Anyone wanting to run Salt daemons via a process supervisor such as monit, runit, or supervisord,  should
       omit the -d argument to the daemons and run them in the foreground.

   What Ports does the Master Need Open?
       For  the  master, TCP ports 4505 and 4506 need to be open. If you've put both your Salt master and minion
       in debug mode and don't see an acknowledgment that your minion has connected, it could  very  well  be  a
       firewall  interfering  with  the  connection.  See  our  firewall configuration page for help opening the
       firewall on various platforms.

       If you've opened the correct TCP ports and still aren't seeing  connections,  check  that  no  additional
       access control system such as SELinux or AppArmor is blocking Salt.

   Too many open files
       The  salt-master needs at least 2 sockets per host that connects to it, one for the Publisher and one for
       response port. Thus, large installations may, upon scaling up the number of  minions  accessing  a  given
       master, encounter:

          12:45:29,289 [salt.master    ][INFO    ] Starting Salt worker process 38
          Too many open files
          sock != -1 (tcp_listener.cpp:335)

       The  solution  to  this  would  be  to check the number of files allowed to be opened by the user running
       salt-master (root by default):

          [root@salt-master ~]# ulimit -n
          1024

       If this value is not equal to at least twice the number of minions, then it will need to be  raised.  For
       example,  in  an environment with 1800 minions, the nofile limit should be set to no less than 3600. This
       can be done by creating the file /etc/security/limits.d/99-salt.conf, with the following contents:

          root        hard    nofile        4096
          root        soft    nofile        4096

       Replace root with the user under which the master runs, if different.

       If your master does not have an /etc/security/limits.d directory, the lines can  simply  be  appended  to
       /etc/security/limits.conf.

       As with any change to resource limits, it is best to stay logged into your current shell and open another
       shell  to  run  ulimit -n again and verify that the changes were applied correctly. Additionally, if your
       master is running upstart, it may be necessary to specify the nofile limit in /etc/default/salt-master if
       upstart isn't respecting your resource limits:

          limit nofile 4096 4096

       NOTE:
          The above is simply an example of how to set these values, and you may  wish  to  increase  them  even
          further if your Salt master is doing more than just running Salt.

   Salt Master Stops Responding
       There are known bugs with ZeroMQ versions less than 2.1.11 which can cause the Salt master to not respond
       properly.  If you're running a ZeroMQ version greater than or equal to 2.1.9, you can work around the bug
       by setting the sysctls net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max to 16777216. Next, set the third field  in
       net.ipv4.tcp_rmem and net.ipv4.tcp_wmem to at least 16777216.

       You can do it manually with something like:

          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem

       Or with the following Salt state:

          net.core.rmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.core.wmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_rmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_wmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

   Live Python Debug Output
       If  the  master  seems  to be unresponsive, a SIGUSR1 can be passed to the salt-master threads to display
       what piece of code is executing. This debug information can be invaluable in tracking down bugs.

       To pass a SIGUSR1 to the master, first make sure the master  is  running  in  the  foreground.  Stop  the
       service if it is running as a daemon, and start it in the foreground like so:

          # salt-master -l debug

       Then pass the signal to the master when it seems to be unresponsive:

          # killall -SIGUSR1 salt-master

       When  filing an issue or sending questions to the mailing list for a problem with an unresponsive daemon,
       be sure to include this information if possible.

   Live Salt-Master Profiling
       When faced with performance problems one can turn on master process profiling by sending it SIGUSR2.

          # killall -SIGUSR2 salt-master

       This will activate yappi profiler inside salt-master code, then after some time  one  must  send  SIGUSR2
       again  to  stop profiling and save results to file. If run in foreground salt-master will report filename
       for the results, which are usually located under /tmp on Unix-based OSes and c:\temp on windows.

       Make sure you have yappi installed.

       Results can then be analyzed with kcachegrind or similar tool.

       Make sure you have yappi installed.

       On Windows, in the absence of kcachegrind, a simple file-based workflow to create profiling graphs  could
       use gprof2dot, graphviz and this batch file:

          ::
          :: Converts callgrind* profiler output to *.pdf, via *.dot
          ::
          @echo off
          del *.dot.pdf
          for /r %%f in (callgrind*) do (
          echo "%%f"
              gprof2dot.exe -f callgrind --show-samples  "%%f" -o "%%f.dot"
              dot.exe "%%f.dot" -Tpdf -O
              del "%%f.dot"
          )

   Commands Time Out or Do Not Return Output
       Depending  on  your  OS  (this is most common on Ubuntu due to apt-get) you may sometimes encounter times
       where a state.apply, or other long running commands do not return output.

       By default the timeout is set to 5 seconds. The timeout value can easily be increased  by  modifying  the
       timeout line within your /etc/salt/master configuration file.

       Having  keys  accepted  for  Salt  minions  that  no longer exist or are not reachable also increases the
       possibility of timeouts, since the Salt master waits for those systems to return command results.

   Passing the -c Option to Salt Returns a Permissions Error
       Using the -c option with the Salt command modifies the configuration directory.  When  the  configuration
       file  is read it will still base data off of the root_dir setting. This can result in unintended behavior
       if you are expecting files such as /etc/salt/pki to be pulled from the location specified with -c. Modify
       the root_dir setting to address this behavior.

   Salt Master Doesn't Return Anything While Running jobs
       When a command being run via Salt takes a very  long  time  to  return  (package  installations,  certain
       scripts, etc.) the master may drop you back to the shell. In most situations the job is still running but
       Salt  has  exceeded the set timeout before returning. Querying the job queue will provide the data of the
       job but is inconvenient. This can be resolved by either manually using the -t  option  to  set  a  longer
       timeout when running commands (by default it is 5 seconds) or by modifying the master configuration file:
       /etc/salt/master  and  setting the timeout value to change the default timeout for all commands, and then
       restarting the salt-master service.

       If a state.apply run takes too long, you can find a bottleneck by adding the --out=profile option.

   Salt Master Auth Flooding
       In large installations, care must be taken not to overwhealm the  master  with  authentication  requests.
       Several  options  can  be  set  on  the master which mitigate the chances of an authentication flood from
       causing an interruption in service.

       NOTE:
          recon_default:

          The average number of seconds to wait between reconnection attempts.

          recon_max:
                 The maximum number of seconds to wait between reconnection attempts.

          recon_randomize:
                 A flag to indicate whether the recon_default value should be randomized.

          acceptance_wait_time:
                 The number of seconds to wait for a reply to each authentication request.

          random_reauth_delay:
                 The range of seconds across which  the  minions  should  attempt  to  randomize  authentication
                 attempts.

          auth_timeout:
                 The  total time to wait for the authentication process to complete, regardless of the number of
                 attempts.

   Running states locally
       To debug the states, you can use call locally.

          salt-call -l trace --local state.highstate

       The top.sls file is used to map what SLS modules get loaded onto what minions via the state system.

       It is located in the file defined in the file_roots variable of the salt master configuration file  which
       is defined by found in CONFIG_DIR/master, normally /etc/salt/master

       The default configuration for the file_roots is:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       So the top file is defaulted to the location /srv/salt/top.sls

   Salt Master Umask
       The  salt master uses a cache to track jobs as they are published and returns come back.  The recommended
       umask for a salt-master is 022, which is the default for most users on a  system.  Incorrect  umasks  can
       result in permission-denied errors when the master tries to access files in its cache.

   Troubleshooting the Salt Minion
       In  the  event  that  your  Salt  minion  is  having  issues,  a variety of solutions and suggestions are
       available. Please refer to the following links for more information:

   Troubleshooting the Salt Minion
   Running in the Foreground
       A great deal of information is available via the debug logging system, if  you  are  having  issues  with
       minions connecting or not starting run the minion in the foreground:

          # salt-minion -l debug

       Anyone  wanting to run Salt daemons via a process supervisor such as monit, runit, or supervisord, should
       omit the -d argument to the daemons and run them in the foreground.

   What Ports does the Minion Need Open?
       No ports need to be opened on the minion, as it makes outbound connections to the master. If  you've  put
       both  your  Salt  master  and  minion  in debug mode and don't see an acknowledgment that your minion has
       connected, it could  very  well  be  a  firewall  interfering  with  the  connection.  See  our  firewall
       configuration page for help opening the firewall on various platforms.

       If you have netcat installed, you can check port connectivity from the minion with the nc command:

          $ nc -v -z salt.master.ip.addr 4505
          Connection to salt.master.ip.addr 4505 port [tcp/unknown] succeeded!
          $ nc -v -z salt.master.ip.addr 4506
          Connection to salt.master.ip.addr 4506 port [tcp/unknown] succeeded!

       The Nmap utility can also be used to check if these ports are open:

          # nmap -sS -q -p 4505-4506 salt.master.ip.addr

          Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-12-29 19:44 CST
          Nmap scan report for salt.master.ip.addr (10.0.0.10)
          Host is up (0.0026s latency).
          PORT     STATE  SERVICE
          4505/tcp open   unknown
          4506/tcp open   unknown
          MAC Address: 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC (Intel)

          Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.64 seconds

       If  you've  opened  the  correct  TCP ports and still aren't seeing connections, check that no additional
       access control system such as SELinux or AppArmor is blocking Salt. Tools like tcptraceroute can also  be
       used to determine if an intermediate device or firewall is blocking the needed TCP ports.

   Using salt-call
       The  salt-call  command was originally developed for aiding in the development of new Salt modules. Since
       then, many applications have been developed for running any Salt module locally on a minion. These  range
       from  the  original  intent  of salt-call (development assistance), to gathering more verbose output from
       calls like state.apply.

       When initially creating your state tree, it is generally recommended  to  invoke  highstates  by  running
       state.apply  directly from the minion with salt-call, rather than remotely from the master. This displays
       far more information about the execution than calling it remotely. For even more verbosity, increase  the
       loglevel using the -l argument:

          # salt-call -l debug state.apply

       The  main difference between using salt and using salt-call is that salt-call is run from the minion, and
       it only runs the selected function on that minion. By contrast, salt is run from the master, and requires
       you to specify the minions on which to run the command using salt's targeting system.

   Live Python Debug Output
       If the minion seems to be unresponsive, a SIGUSR1 can be passed to the process to display what  piece  of
       code is executing. This debug information can be invaluable in tracking down bugs.

       To  pass  a  SIGUSR1  to  the  minion,  first make sure the minion is running in the foreground. Stop the
       service if it is running as a daemon, and start it in the foreground like so:

          # salt-minion -l debug

       Then pass the signal to the minion when it seems to be unresponsive:

          # killall -SIGUSR1 salt-minion

       When filing an issue or sending questions to the mailing list for a problem with an unresponsive  daemon,
       be sure to include this information if possible.

   Multiprocessing in Execution Modules
       As  is  outlined  in  github  issue #6300, Salt cannot use python's multiprocessing pipes and queues from
       execution modules. Multiprocessing from the execution modules is perfectly viable, it is  just  necessary
       to use Salt's event system to communicate back with the process.

       The  reason  for  this  difficulty  is  that  python  attempts  to  pickle  all  objects  in  memory when
       communicating, and it cannot pickle function objects. Since the Salt loader system  creates  and  manages
       function objects this causes the pickle operation to fail.

   Salt Minion Doesn't Return Anything While Running Jobs Locally
       When  a  command  being  run  via  Salt  takes a very long time to return (package installations, certain
       scripts, etc.) the minion may drop you back to the shell. In most situations the job is still running but
       Salt has exceeded the set timeout before returning. Querying the job queue will provide the data  of  the
       job  but  is  inconvenient.  This  can be resolved by either manually using the -t option to set a longer
       timeout when running commands (by default it is 5 seconds) or by modifying the minion configuration file:
       /etc/salt/minion and setting the timeout value to change the default timeout for all commands,  and  then
       restarting the salt-minion service.

       NOTE:
          Modifying  the  minion  timeout  value is not required when running commands from a Salt Master. It is
          only required when running commands locally on the minion.

       If a state.apply run takes too long, you can find a bottleneck by adding the --out=profile option.

   Running in the Foreground
       A great deal of information is available via the debug logging system, if  you  are  having  issues  with
       minions connecting or not starting run the minion and/or master in the foreground:

          salt-master -l debug
          salt-minion -l debug

       Anyone  wanting to run Salt daemons via a process supervisor such as monit, runit, or supervisord, should
       omit the -d argument to the daemons and run them in the foreground.

   What Ports do the Master and Minion Need Open?
       No ports need to be opened up on each minion. For the master, TCP ports 4505 and 4506 need to be open. If
       you've put both your Salt master and minion in debug mode and  don't  see  an  acknowledgment  that  your
       minion has connected, it could very well be a firewall.

       You can check port connectivity from the minion with the nc command:

          nc -v -z salt.master.ip 4505
          nc -v -z salt.master.ip 4506

       There is also a firewall configuration document that might help as well.

       If you've enabled the right TCP ports on your operating system or Linux distribution's firewall and still
       aren't  seeing connections, check that no additional access control system such as SELinux or AppArmor is
       blocking Salt.

   Using salt-call
       The salt-call command was originally developed for aiding in the development of new Salt  modules.  Since
       then,  many applications have been developed for running any Salt module locally on a minion. These range
       from the original intent of salt-call, development assistance, to  gathering  more  verbose  output  from
       calls like state.apply.

       When  initially creating your state tree, it is generally recommended to invoke state.apply directly from
       the minion with salt-call, rather than remotely from the master. This displays far more information about
       the execution than calling it remotely. For even more verbosity,  increase  the  loglevel  using  the  -l
       argument:

          salt-call -l debug state.apply

       The  main difference between using salt and using salt-call is that salt-call is run from the minion, and
       it only runs the selected function on that minion. By contrast, salt is run from the master, and requires
       you to specify the minions on which to run the command using salt's targeting system.

   Too many open files
       The salt-master needs at least 2 sockets per host that connects to it, one for the Publisher and one  for
       response  port.  Thus,  large  installations may, upon scaling up the number of minions accessing a given
       master, encounter:

          12:45:29,289 [salt.master    ][INFO    ] Starting Salt worker process 38
          Too many open files
          sock != -1 (tcp_listener.cpp:335)

       The solution to this would be to check the number of files allowed to  be  opened  by  the  user  running
       salt-master (root by default):

          [root@salt-master ~]# ulimit -n
          1024

       And  modify that value to be at least equal to the number of minions x 2.  This setting can be changed in
       limits.conf as the nofile value(s), and activated upon new a login of the specified user.

       So, an environment with 1800 minions, would need 1800 x 2 = 3600 as a minimum.

   Salt Master Stops Responding
       There are known bugs with ZeroMQ versions less than 2.1.11 which can cause the Salt master to not respond
       properly. If you're running a ZeroMQ version greater than or equal to 2.1.9, you can work around the  bug
       by  setting the sysctls net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max to 16777216. Next, set the third field in
       net.ipv4.tcp_rmem and net.ipv4.tcp_wmem to at least 16777216.

       You can do it manually with something like:

          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem

       Or with the following Salt state:

          net.core.rmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.core.wmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_rmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_wmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

   Salt and SELinux
       Currently there are no SELinux policies for Salt. For the most part Salt runs without issue when  SELinux
       is  running  in  Enforcing mode. This is because when the minion executes as a daemon the type context is
       changed to initrc_t.  The problem with SELinux arises when using salt-call or running the minion  in  the
       foreground, since the type context stays unconfined_t.

       This  problem  is  generally  manifest in the rpm install scripts when using the pkg module. Until a full
       SELinux Policy is available for Salt the solution to this issue  is  to  set  the  execution  context  of
       salt-call and salt-minion to rpm_exec_t:

          # CentOS 5 and RHEL 5:
          chcon -t system_u:system_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-minion
          chcon -t system_u:system_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-call

          # CentOS 6 and RHEL 6:
          chcon system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-minion
          chcon system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-call

       This works well, because the rpm_exec_t context has very broad control over other types.

   Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
       Salt  requires  Python  2.6  or  2.7.  Red  Hat  Enterprise Linux 5 and its variants come with Python 2.4
       installed by default. When installing on RHEL 5 from the EPEL repository this is handled for you. But, if
       you run Salt from git, be advised that its dependencies need to be installed  from  EPEL  and  that  Salt
       needs to be run with the python26 executable.

   Common YAML Gotchas
       An extensive list of YAML idiosyncrasies has been compiled:

   YAML Idiosyncrasies
       One  of  Salt's  strengths, the use of existing serialization systems for representing SLS data, can also
       backfire. YAML is a general purpose system and there are a number of things that would seem to make sense
       in an sls file that cause YAML issues. It is wise to be aware of these issues. While reports  or  running
       into them are generally rare they can still crop up at unexpected times.

   Spaces vs Tabs
       YAML uses spaces, period. Do not use tabs in your SLS files! If strange errors are coming up in rendering
       SLS  files,  make  sure  to  check that no tabs have crept in! In Vim, after enabling search highlighting
       with: :set hlsearch,  you can check with the following key sequence in normal mode(you can hit ESC  twice
       to  be sure): /, Ctrl-v, Tab, then hit Enter. Also, you can convert tabs to 2 spaces by these commands in
       Vim: :set tabstop=2 expandtab and then :retab.

   Indentation
       The suggested syntax for YAML files is to use 2 spaces for indentation, but  YAML  will  follow  whatever
       indentation system that the individual file uses. Indentation of two spaces works very well for SLS files
       given the fact that the data is uniform and not deeply nested.

   Nested Dictionaries
       When  dictionaries  are  nested  within other data structures (particularly lists), the indentation logic
       sometimes changes.  Examples of where this might happen include context  and  default  options  from  the
       file.managed state:

          /etc/http/conf/http.conf:
            file:
              - managed
              - source: salt://apache/http.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  custom_var: "override"
              - defaults:
                  custom_var: "default value"
                  other_var: 123

       Notice  that while the indentation is two spaces per level, for the values under the context and defaults
       options there is a four-space indent. If only two spaces are used to indent,  then  those  keys  will  be
       considered  part of the same dictionary that contains the context key, and so the data will not be loaded
       correctly. If using a double indent is not desirable, then a deeply-nested  dict  can  be  declared  with
       curly braces:

          /etc/http/conf/http.conf:
            file:
              - managed
              - source: salt://apache/http.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - context: {
                custom_var: "override" }
              - defaults: {
                custom_var: "default value",
                other_var: 123 }

       Here  is  a  more  concrete  example  of  how  YAML actually handles these indentations, using the Python
       interpreter on the command line:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load(
          ...     """mystate:
          ...   file.managed:
          ...     - context:
          ...         some: var"""
          ... )
          {'mystate': {'file.managed': [{'context': {'some': 'var'}}]}}
          >>> yaml.safe_load(
          ...     """mystate:
          ...   file.managed:
          ...     - context:
          ...       some: var"""
          ... )
          {'mystate': {'file.managed': [{'some': 'var', 'context': None}]}}

       Note that in the second example, some is added as another key in the  same  dictionary,  whereas  in  the
       first  example,  it's the start of a new dictionary.  That's the distinction. context is a common example
       because it is a keyword arg for many functions, and should contain a dictionary.

   Multi-line Strings
       Similarly, when a multi-line string is nested within a  list  item  (such  as  when  using  the  contents
       argument  for  a  file.managed  state),  the  indentation must be doubled. Take for example the following
       state:

          /tmp/foo.txt:
            file.managed:
              - contents: |
                foo
                bar
                baz

       This is invalid YAML, and will result in a rather cryptic error when you try to run the state:

          myminion:
              Data failed to compile:
          ----------
              Rendering SLS 'base:test' failed: could not find expected ':'; line 5

          ---
          /tmp/foo.txt:
            file.managed:
              - contents: |
                foo
                bar    <======================
                baz

          ---

       The correct indentation would be as follows:

          /tmp/foo.txt:
            file.managed:
              - contents: |
                  foo
                  bar
                  baz

   True/False, Yes/No, On/Off
       PyYAML will load these values as boolean True or False. Un-capitalized versions will also  be  loaded  as
       booleans (true, false, yes, no, on, and off). This can be especially problematic when constructing Pillar
       data.  Make  sure that your Pillars which need to use the string versions of these values are enclosed in
       quotes. Pillars will be parsed twice by salt, so you'll need to wrap  your  values  in  multiple  quotes,
       including double quotation marks (" ") and single quotation marks (' '). Note that spaces are included in
       the quotation type examples for clarity.

       Multiple quoting examples looks like this:

          - '"false"'
          - "'True'"
          - "'YES'"
          - '"No"'

       NOTE:
          When  using multiple quotes in this manner, they must be different. Using "" "" or '' '' won't work in
          this case (spaces are included in examples for clarity).

   The '%' Sign
       The % symbol has a special meaning in YAML, it needs to be passed as a string literal:

          cheese:
            ssh_auth.present:
              - user: tbortels
              - source: salt://ssh_keys/chease.pub
              - config: '%h/.ssh/authorized_keys'

   Time Expressions
       PyYAML will load a time expression as the integer value of that, assuming HH:MM. So for example, 12:00 is
       loaded by PyYAML as 720. An excellent explanation for why can be found here.

       To keep time expressions like this from being loaded as integers, always quote them.

       NOTE:
          When using a jinja load_yaml map, items must be quoted twice. For example:

              {% load_yaml as wsus_schedule %}

              FRI_10:
                time: '"23:00"'
                day: 6 - Every Friday
              SAT_10:
                time: '"06:00"'
                day: 7 - Every Saturday
              SAT_20:
                time: '"14:00"'
                day: 7 - Every Saturday
              SAT_30:
                time: '"22:00"'
                day: 7 - Every Saturday
              SUN_10:
                time: '"06:00"'
                day: 1 - Every Sunday
              {% endload %}

   YAML does not like Double Short Decs
       If I can find a way to make YAML accept "Double Short Decs" then I will, since I think that double  short
       decs  would  be awesome. So what is a "Double Short Dec"? It is when you declare a multiple short decs in
       one ID. Here is a standard short dec, it works great:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

       The short dec means that there are no arguments to pass, so it is not required to add any arguments,  and
       it can save space.

       YAML though, gets upset when declaring multiple short decs, for the record...

       THIS DOES NOT WORK:

          vim:
            pkg.installed
            user.present

       Similarly declaring a short dec in the same ID dec as a standard dec does not work either...

       ALSO DOES NOT WORK:

          fred:
            user.present
            ssh_auth.present:
              - name: AAAAB3NzaC...
              - user: fred
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - require:
                - user: fred

       The correct way is to define them like this:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []
            user.present: []

          fred:
            user.present: []
            ssh_auth.present:
              - name: AAAAB3NzaC...
              - user: fred
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - require:
                - user: fred

       Alternatively,  they can be defined the "old way",  or with multiple "full decs":

          vim:
            pkg:
              - installed
            user:
              - present

          fred:
            user:
              - present
            ssh_auth:
              - present
              - name: AAAAB3NzaC...
              - user: fred
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - require:
                - user: fred

   YAML supports only plain ASCII
       According to YAML specification, only ASCII characters can be used.

       Within double-quotes, special characters may be represented with C-style escape sequences starting with a
       backslash ( \ ).

       Examples:

          - micro: "\u00b5"
          - copyright: "\u00A9"
          - A: "\x41"
          - alpha: "\u0251"
          - Alef: "\u05d0"

       List of usable Unicode characters  will help you to identify correct numbers.

       Python can also be used to discover the Unicode number for a character:

          repr(u"Text with wrong characters i need to figure out")

       This shell command can find wrong characters in your SLS files:

          find . -name '*.sls'  -exec  grep --color='auto' -P -n '[^\x00-\x7F]' \{} \;

       Alternatively  you  can  toggle the yaml_utf8 setting in your master configuration file. This is still an
       experimental setting but it should manage the  right  encoding  conversion  in  salt  after  yaml  states
       compilations.

   Underscores stripped in Integer Definitions
       If  a  definition  only  includes  numbers  and  underscores,  it is parsed by YAML as an integer and all
       underscores are stripped.  To ensure the object becomes a string, it  should  be  surrounded  by  quotes.
       More information here.

       Here's an example:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load("2013_05_10")
          20130510
          >>> yaml.safe_load('"2013_05_10"')
          '2013_05_10'

   Automatic datetime conversion
       If  there  is  a  value  in a YAML file formatted 2014-01-20 14:23:23 or similar, YAML will automatically
       convert this to a Python datetime object.  These objects are not msgpack serializable, and so  may  break
       core  salt  functionality.   If  values  such  as  these  are  needed in a salt YAML file (specifically a
       configuration file), they should be formatted with surrounding strings to force YAML to serialize them as
       strings:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load("2014-01-20 14:23:23")
          datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 20, 14, 23, 23)
          >>> yaml.safe_load('"2014-01-20 14:23:23"')
          '2014-01-20 14:23:23'

       Additionally, numbers formatted like XXXX-XX-XX will also be converted (or YAML will attempt  to  convert
       them,  and error out if it doesn't think the date is a real one).  Thus, for example, if a minion were to
       have an ID of 4017-16-20 the minion would not start because YAML would complain that the date was out  of
       range.  The workaround is the same, surround the offending string with quotes:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load("4017-16-20")
          Traceback (most recent call last):
            File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

   Keys Limited to 1024 Characters
       Simple  keys  are  limited  by the YAML Spec to a single line, and cannot be longer that 1024 characters.
       PyYAML enforces these limitations (see here), and therefore anything parsed as YAML in Salt is subject to
       them.

   Live Python Debug Output
       If the minion or master seems to be unresponsive, a SIGUSR1 can be passed to  the  processes  to  display
       where  in the code they are running. If encountering a situation like this, this debug information can be
       invaluable. First make sure the master of minion are running in the foreground:

          salt-master -l debug
          salt-minion -l debug

       Then pass the signal to the master or minion when it seems to be unresponsive:

          killall -SIGUSR1 salt-master
          killall -SIGUSR1 salt-minion

       Also under BSD and macOS in addition to SIGUSR1 signal, debug subroutine set up for SIGINFO which has  an
       advantage of being sent by Ctrl+T shortcut.

       When  filing  an issue or sending questions to the mailing list for a problem with an unresponsive daemon
       this information can be invaluable.

   Salt 0.16.x minions cannot communicate with a 0.17.x master
       As of release 0.17.1 you can no longer run different versions of Salt on your Master and Minion  servers.
       This  is due to a protocol change for security purposes. The Salt team will continue to attempt to ensure
       versions are as backwards compatible as possible.

   Is Salt open-core?
       No.  Salt  is  100%  committed to being open-source, including all of our APIs. It is developed under the
       Apache 2.0 license, allowing it to be used in both open and proprietary projects.

       To expand on this a little:

       There is much argument over the actual definition of "open core".  From  our  standpoint,  Salt  is  open
       source because

       1. It is a standalone product that anyone is free to use.

       2. It  is  developed  in  the  open  with  contributions  accepted from the community for the good of the
          project.

       3. There are no features of Salt itself that are restricted to separate proprietary products  distributed
          by SaltStack, Inc.

       4. Because  of  our  Apache  2.0  license,  Salt  can  be  used as the foundation for a project or even a
          proprietary tool.

       5. Our APIs are open and documented (any  lack  of  documentation  is  an  oversight  as  opposed  to  an
          intentional decision by SaltStack the company) and available for use by anyone.

       SaltStack  the  company  does make proprietary products which use Salt and its libraries, like company is
       free to do, but we do so via the APIs, NOT by  forking  Salt  and  creating  a  different,  closed-source
       version of it for paying customers.

   I think I found a bug! What should I do?
       The  salt-users  mailing list as well as the salt IRC channel can both be helpful resources to confirm if
       others are seeing the issue and to assist with immediate debugging.

       To report a bug to the Salt project, please follow the instructions in reporting a bug.

   What ports should I open on my firewall?
       Minions need to be able to connect to the Master on TCP ports 4505 and 4506.  Minions  do  not  need  any
       inbound ports open. More detailed information on firewall settings can be found here.

   I'm seeing weird behavior (including but not limited to packages not installing their users properly)
       This  is  often caused by SELinux.  Try disabling SELinux or putting it in permissive mode and see if the
       weird behavior goes away.

   My script runs every time I run a state.apply. Why?
       You are probably using cmd.run rather than cmd.wait. A cmd.wait state will only run when there has been a
       change in a state that it is watching.

       A cmd.run state will run the corresponding command every time (unless it is prevented from running by the
       unless or onlyif arguments).

       More details can be found in the documentation for the cmd states.

   When I run test.ping, why don't the Minions that aren't responding return anything? Returning False would  be
       helpful.
       When  you  run  test.ping  the Master tells Minions to run commands/functions, and listens for the return
       data, printing it to the screen when it is received.  If it doesn't receive  anything  back,  it  doesn't
       have anything to display for that Minion.

       There  are a couple options for getting information on Minions that are not responding. One is to use the
       verbose (-v) option when you run salt commands, as it will  display  "Minion  did  not  return"  for  any
       Minions which time out.

          salt -v '*' pkg.install zsh

       Another option is to use the manage.down runner:

          salt-run manage.down

       Also,  if the Master is under heavy load, it is possible that the CLI will exit without displaying return
       data for all targeted Minions. However, this doesn't mean that the Minions  did  not  return;  this  only
       means  that the Salt CLI timed out waiting for a response. Minions will still send their return data back
       to the Master once the job completes. If any expected Minions  are  missing  from  the  CLI  output,  the
       jobs.list_jobs  runner  can  be  used  to  show  the  job  IDs  of  the  jobs that have been run, and the
       jobs.lookup_jid runner can be used to get the return data for that job.

          salt-run jobs.list_jobs
          salt-run jobs.lookup_jid 20130916125524463507

       If you find that you are often missing Minion return data on the CLI, only  to  find  it  with  the  jobs
       runners,  then  this  may  be a sign that the worker_threads value may need to be increased in the master
       config file. Additionally, running your Salt CLI commands with the -t option will make Salt  wait  longer
       for  the  return  data  before  the CLI command exits. For instance, the below command will wait up to 60
       seconds for the Minions to return:

          salt -t 60 '*' test.ping

   How does Salt determine the Minion's id?
       If the Minion id is not configured explicitly (using the id parameter), Salt will determine the id  based
       on  the  hostname.  Exactly  how  this  is  determined  varies  a little between operating systems and is
       described in detail here.

   I'm trying to manage packages/services but I get an error saying that the state is not available. Why?
       Salt detects the Minion's operating system and assigns the correct package or service  management  module
       based  on what is detected. However, for certain custom spins and OS derivatives this detection fails. In
       cases like this, an issue should be opened on our tracker, with the following information:

       1. The output of the following command:

             salt <minion_id> grains.items | grep os

       2. The contents of /etc/lsb-release, if present on the Minion.

   Why aren't my custom modules/states/etc. available on my Minions?
       Custom modules are synced to Minions when saltutil.sync_modules, or saltutil.sync_all is run.

       Similarly, custom states are synced to Minions when saltutil.sync_states, or saltutil.sync_all is run.

       They are both also synced when a highstate is triggered.

       As of the 2019.2.0 release, as well as 2017.7.7 and 2018.3.2 in their respective release cycles, the sync
       argument to state.apply/state.sls can be used to sync custom types when running individual SLS files.

       Other custom types (renderers, outputters, etc.) have similar behavior, see  the  documentation  for  the
       saltutil module for more information.

       This  reactor  example  can  be  used  to automatically sync custom types when the minion connects to the
       master, to help with this chicken-and-egg issue.

   Module X isn't available, even though the shell command it uses is installed. Why?
       This is most likely a PATH issue.  Did  you  custom-compile  the  software  which  the  module  requires?
       RHEL/CentOS/etc.  in  particular  override  the  root user's path in /etc/init.d/functions, setting it to
       /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin, making software installed into /usr/local/bin unavailable to Salt when the
       Minion is started using the initscript. In version 2014.1.0, Salt will have a better solution  for  these
       sort  of  PATH-related issues, but recompiling the software to install it into a location within the PATH
       should resolve the issue in the meantime. Alternatively, you can create a symbolic link within  the  PATH
       using a file.symlink state.

          /usr/bin/foo:
            file.symlink:
              - target: /usr/local/bin/foo

   Can I run different versions of Salt on my Master and Minion?
       This depends on the versions.  In general, it is recommended that Master and Minion versions match.

       When  upgrading Salt, the master(s) should always be upgraded first.  Backwards compatibility for minions
       running newer versions of salt than their masters is not guaranteed.

       Whenever possible, backwards compatibility between  new  masters  and  old  minions  will  be  preserved.
       Generally, the only exception to this policy is in case of a security vulnerability.

       Recent  examples  of  backwards  compatibility  breakage  include the 0.17.1 release (where all backwards
       compatibility was broken due to a security fix), and the 2014.1.0 release (which  retained  compatibility
       between  2014.1.0  masters  and  0.17  minions,  but  broke  compatibility for 2014.1.0 minions and older
       masters).

   Does Salt support backing up managed files?
       Yes. Salt provides an easy to use addition to your file.managed states that allow you to  back  up  files
       via  backup_mode,  backup_mode can be configured on a per state basis, or in the minion config (note that
       if set in the minion config this would simply be the default method to use, you  still  need  to  specify
       that the file should be backed up!).

   Is it possible to deploy a file to a specific minion, without other minions having access to it?
       The  Salt fileserver does not yet support access control, but it is still possible to do this. As of Salt
       2015.5.0, the file_tree external pillar is available, and allows the contents of a file to be  loaded  as
       Pillar  data.  This external pillar is capable of assigning Pillar values both to individual minions, and
       to nodegroups. See the documentation for details on how to set this up.

       Once the external pillar has been set up, the data can be pushed to a minion via  a  file.managed  state,
       using the contents_pillar argument:

          /etc/my_super_secret_file:
            file.managed:
              - user: secret
              - group: secret
              - mode: 600
              - contents_pillar: secret_files:my_super_secret_file

       In  this  example,  the  source  file  would be located in a directory called secret_files underneath the
       file_tree path for the minion. The syntax for specifying the pillar variable is the  same  one  used  for
       pillar.get, with a colon representing a nested dictionary.

       WARNING:
          Deploying binary contents using the file.managed state is only supported in Salt 2015.8.4 and newer.

   What is the best way to restart a Salt Minion daemon using Salt after upgrade?
       Updating  the  salt-minion  package  requires  a  restart  of the salt-minion service. But restarting the
       service while in the middle of a state run interrupts the  process  of  the  Minion  running  states  and
       sending  results back to the Master. A common way to workaround that is to schedule restarting the Minion
       service in the background by issuing a salt-call command calling service.restart function. This  prevents
       the Minion being disconnected from the Master immediately. Otherwise you would get Minion did not return.
       [Not connected] message as the result of a state run.

   Upgrade without automatic restart
       Doing  the  Minion  upgrade  seems  to  be  a simplest state in your SLS file at first. But the operating
       systems such as Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and their  derivatives  start  the  service  after  the  package
       installation  by  default.  To prevent this, we need to create policy layer which will prevent the Minion
       service to restart right after the upgrade:

          {%- if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}

          Disable starting services:
            file.managed:
              - name: /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 0755
              - contents:
                - '#!/bin/sh'
                - exit 101
              # do not touch if already exists
              - replace: False
              - prereq:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

          {%- endif %}

          Upgrade Salt Minion:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: salt-minion
              - version: 2016.11.3{% if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}+ds-1{% endif %}
              - order: last

          Enable Salt Minion:
            service.enabled:
              - name: salt-minion
              - require:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

          {%- if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}

          Enable starting services:
            file.absent:
              - name: /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
              - onchanges:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

          {%- endif %}

   Restart using states
       Now we can apply the workaround to restart the Minion in reliable way.  The following  example  works  on
       UNIX-like operating systems:

          {%- if grains['os'] != 'Windows' %}
          Restart Salt Minion:
            cmd.run:
              - name: 'salt-call service.restart salt-minion'
              - bg: True
              - onchanges:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion
          {%- endif %}

       Note  that  restarting  the salt-minion service on Windows operating systems is not always necessary when
       performing an upgrade. The installer stops the salt-minion service, removes it, deletes the  contents  of
       the  \salt\bin  directory,  installs  the new code, re-creates the salt-minion service, and starts it (by
       default). The restart step would be necessary during the upgrade process, however, if the  minion  config
       was  edited  after  the upgrade or installation. If a minion restart is necessary, the state above can be
       edited as follows:

          Restart Salt Minion:
            cmd.run:
          {%- if grains['kernel'] == 'Windows' %}
              - name: 'C:\salt\salt-call.bat service.restart salt-minion'
          {%- else %}
              - name: 'salt-call service.restart salt-minion'
          {%- endif %}
              - bg: True
              - onchanges:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

       However, it requires more advanced tricks to upgrade from legacy version of  Salt  (before  2016.3.0)  on
       UNIX-like  operating  systems,  where executing commands in the background is not supported. You also may
       need to schedule restarting the Minion service using masterless mode after all  other  states  have  been
       applied  for  Salt  versions earlier than 2016.11.0. This allows the Minion to keep the connection to the
       Master alive for being able to report the final  results  back  to  the  Master,  while  the  service  is
       restarting in the background. This state should run last or watch for the pkg state changes:

          Restart Salt Minion:
            cmd.run:
          {%- if grains['kernel'] == 'Windows' %}
              - name: 'start powershell "Restart-Service -Name salt-minion"'
          {%- else %}
              # fork and disown the process
              - name: |-
                  exec 0>&- # close stdin
                  exec 1>&- # close stdout
                  exec 2>&- # close stderr
                  nohup salt-call --local service.restart salt-minion &
          {%- endif %}

   Restart using remote executions
       Restart the Minion from the command line:

          salt -G kernel:Windows cmd.run_bg 'C:\salt\salt-call.bat service.restart salt-minion'
          salt -C 'not G@kernel:Windows' cmd.run_bg 'salt-call service.restart salt-minion'

   Waiting for minions to come back online
       A  common  issue  in  performing automated restarts of a salt minion, for example during an orchestration
       run, is that it will break the orchestration since the next statement is likely to  be  attempted  before
       the  minion  is back online. This can be remedied by inserting a blocking waiting state that only returns
       when the selected minions are back up (note: this will only work in orchestration states since  manage.up
       needs to run on the master):

          Wait for salt minion:
            loop.until_no_eval:
              - name: saltutil.runner
              - expected:
                  - my_minion
              - args:
                  - manage.up
              - kwargs:
                  tgt: my_minion
              - period: 3
              - init_wait: 3

       This  will,  after  an initial delay of 3 seconds, execute the manage.up-runner targeted specifically for
       my_minion. It will do this every period seconds until the expected data is returned. The default  timeout
       is 60s but can be configured as well.

   Salting the Salt Master
       In  order  to  configure  a  master  server  via states, the Salt master can also be "salted" in order to
       enforce state on the Salt master as well as the Salt minions. Salting the Salt  master  requires  a  Salt
       minion  to  be  installed  on the same machine as the Salt master. Once the Salt minion is installed, the
       minion configuration file must be pointed to the local Salt master:

          master: 127.0.0.1

       Once the Salt master has been "salted" with a Salt minion, it can be targeted just like any other minion.
       If the minion on the salted master is running, the minion can be targeted via  any  usual  salt  command.
       Additionally,  the salt-call command can execute operations to enforce state on the salted master without
       requiring the minion to be running.

       More information about salting the Salt master can be found in the salt-formula for salt itself:

       https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/salt-formula

       Restarting the salt-master service using execution module or application of state could be done the  same
       way as for the Salt minion described above.

   Is Targeting using Grain Data Secure?
       WARNING:
          Grains  can  be  set  by users that have access to the minion configuration files on the local system,
          making them less secure than other  identifiers  in  Salt.  Avoid  storing  sensitive  data,  such  as
          passwords or keys, on minions. Instead, make use of pillar and/or sdb.

       Because  grains  can  be  set  by  users  that have access to the minion configuration files on the local
       system, grains are considered less secure than other identifiers in  Salt.  Use  caution  when  targeting
       sensitive operations or setting pillar values based on grain data.

       The only grain which can be safely used is grains['id'] which contains the Minion ID.

       When possible, you should target sensitive operations and data using the Minion ID. If the Minion ID of a
       system  changes, the Salt Minion's public key must be re-accepted by an administrator on the Salt Master,
       making it less vulnerable to impersonation attacks.

   Why Did the Value for a Grain Change on Its Own?
       This is usually the result of an upstream change in an OS distribution that replaces or removes something
       that Salt was using to detect the grain.  Fortunately, when this occurs, you can use Salt to fix it  with
       a command similar to the following:

          salt -G 'grain:ChangedValue' grains.setvals "{'grain': 'OldValue'}"

       (Replacing grain, ChangedValue, and OldValue with the grain and values that you want to change / set.)

       You should also file an issue describing the change so it can be fixed in Salt.

   Salt Best Practices
       Salt's extreme flexibility leads to many questions concerning the structure of configuration files.

       This document exists to clarify these points through examples and code.

       IMPORTANT:
          The guidance here should be taken in combination with hardening-salt.

   General rules
       1. Modularity and clarity should be emphasized whenever possible.

       2. Create clear relations between pillars and states.

       3. Use variables when it makes sense but don't overuse them.

       4. Store sensitive data in pillar.

       5. Don't use grains for matching in your pillar top file for any sensitive pillars.

          WARNING:
             Grains  can be set by users that have access to the minion configuration files on the local system,
             making them less secure than other identifiers in Salt.  Avoid  storing  sensitive  data,  such  as
             passwords or keys, on minions. Instead, make use of pillar and/or sdb.

   Structuring States and Formulas
       When structuring Salt States and Formulas it is important to begin with the directory structure. A proper
       directory  structure clearly defines the functionality of each state to the user via visual inspection of
       the state's name.

       Reviewing the MySQL Salt Formula it is clear to see the benefits to the end-user when reviewing a  sample
       of the available states:

          /srv/salt/mysql/files/
          /srv/salt/mysql/client.sls
          /srv/salt/mysql/map.jinja
          /srv/salt/mysql/python.sls
          /srv/salt/mysql/server.sls

       This directory structure would lead to these states being referenced in a top file in the following way:

          base:
            'web*':
              - mysql.client
              - mysql.python
            'db*':
              - mysql.server

       This clear definition ensures that the user is properly informed of what each state will do.

       Another example comes from the vim-formula:

          /srv/salt/vim/files/
          /srv/salt/vim/absent.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/init.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/map.jinja
          /srv/salt/vim/nerdtree.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/pyflakes.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/salt.sls

       Once again viewing how this would look in a top file:

       /srv/salt/top.sls:

          base:
            'web*':
              - vim
              - vim.nerdtree
              - vim.pyflakes
              - vim.salt
            'db*':
              - vim.absent

       The  usage of a clear top-level directory as well as properly named states reduces the overall complexity
       and leads a user to both understand what will be included at a glance and where it is located.

       In addition Formulas should be used as often as possible.

       NOTE:
          Formulas repositories on the saltstack-formulas GitHub organization should not be pointed to  directly
          from  systems  that automatically fetch new updates such as GitFS or similar tooling. Instead formulas
          repositories should be forked on GitHub or cloned locally, where unintended,  automatic  changes  will
          not take place.

   Structuring Pillar Files
       Pillars are used to store secure and insecure data pertaining to minions. When designing the structure of
       the /srv/pillar directory, the pillars contained within should once again be focused on clear and concise
       data which users can easily review, modify, and understand.

       The /srv/pillar/ directory is primarily controlled by top.sls. It should be noted that the pillar top.sls
       is  not used as a location to declare variables and their values. The top.sls is used as a way to include
       other pillar files and organize the way they are matched based on environments or grains.

       An example top.sls may be as simple as the following:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages

       Any number of matchers can be added to the base environment. For example, here is an expanded version  of
       the Pillar top file stated above:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages
            'web*':
              - apache
              - vim

       Or an even more complicated example, using a variety of matchers in numerous environments:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - apache
          dev:
            'os:Debian':
              - match: grain
              - vim
          test:
            '* and not G@os: Debian':
              - match: compound
              - emacs

       It  is  clear  to  see  through  these  examples how the top file provides users with power but when used
       incorrectly it can lead to confusing configurations. This is why it is important to understand  that  the
       top file for pillar is not used for variable definitions.

       Each SLS file within the /srv/pillar/ directory should correspond to the states which it matches.

       This  would mean that the apache pillar file should contain data relevant to Apache. Structuring files in
       this way once again ensures modularity, and  creates  a  consistent  understanding  throughout  our  Salt
       environment.  Users  can  expect  that  pillar  variables found in an Apache state will live inside of an
       Apache pillar:

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              name: httpd
              config:
                tmpl: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

       While this pillar file is simple, it shows how a pillar file  explicitly  relates  to  the  state  it  is
       associated with.

   Variable Flexibility
       Salt  allows users to define variables in SLS files. When creating a state variables should provide users
       with as much flexibility as possible. This means that variables should be clearly  defined  and  easy  to
       manipulate,  and that sane defaults should exist in the event a variable is not properly defined. Looking
       at several examples shows how these different items can lead to extensive flexibility.

       Although it is possible to set variables locally, this is generally not preferred:

       /srv/salt/apache/conf.sls:

          {% set name = 'httpd' %}
          {% set tmpl = 'salt://apache/files/httpd.conf' %}

          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ name }}
              - source: {{ tmpl }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       When generating this information it  can  be  easily  transitioned  to  the  pillar  where  data  can  be
       overwritten, modified, and applied to multiple states, or locations within a single state:

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              name: httpd
              config:
                tmpl: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf

       /srv/salt/apache/conf.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:name') }}
              - source: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:config:tmpl') }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       This  flexibility  provides  users  with  a  centralized location to modify variables, which is extremely
       important as an environment grows.

   Modularity Within States
       Ensuring that states are modular is one of the key concepts to understand within Salt.  When  creating  a
       state  a  user must consider how many times the state could be re-used, and what it relies on to operate.
       Below are several examples which will iteratively explain how a user can go from a  state  which  is  not
       very modular to one that is:

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          httpd:
            pkg:
              - installed
            service.running:
              - enable: True

          /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf
              - template: jinja
              - watch_in:
                - service: httpd

       The  example  above  is  probably the worst-case scenario when writing a state.  There is a clear lack of
       focus by naming both the pkg/service, and managed file directly as the  state  ID.  This  would  lead  to
       changing multiple requires within this state, as well as others that may depend upon the state.

       Imagine  if  a  require  was used for the httpd package in another state, and then suddenly it's a custom
       package. Now changes need to be made in multiple locations which increases the complexity and leads to  a
       more error prone configuration.

       There  is  also the issue of having the configuration file located in the init, as a user would be unable
       to simply install the service and use the default conf file.

       Our second revision begins to address  the  referencing  by  using  -  name,  as  opposed  to  direct  ID
       references:

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd
            service.running:
              - name: httpd
              - enable: True

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf
              - template: jinja
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       The  above  init  file  is  better  than  our original, yet it has several issues which lead to a lack of
       modularity. The first of these problems is the usage of static values for items such as the name  of  the
       service,  the  name  of  the  managed file, and the source of the managed file. When these items are hard
       coded they become difficult to modify and the opportunity to make  mistakes  arises.  It  also  leads  to
       multiple  edits  that  need  to  occur  when  changing these items (imagine if there were dozens of these
       occurrences throughout the state!). There is also still the concern of the configuration file data living
       in the same state as the service and package.

       In the next example steps will be taken to begin addressing these issues.  Starting with the addition  of
       a map.jinja file (as noted in the Formula documentation), and modification of static values:

       /srv/salt/apache/map.jinja:

          {% set apache = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
                  'server': 'apache2',
                  'service': 'apache2',
                  'conf': '/etc/apache2/apache.conf',
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'server': 'httpd',
                  'service': 'httpd',
                  'conf': '/etc/httpd/httpd.conf',
              },
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup')) %}

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              config:
                tmpl: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ apache.server }}
            service.running:
              - name: {{ apache.service }}
              - enable: True

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ apache.conf }}
              - source: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:config:tmpl') }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       The  changes  to  this  state  now  allow us to easily identify the location of the variables, as well as
       ensuring they are flexible and easy to modify.  While this takes another step in the right direction,  it
       is  not  yet  complete.   Suppose  the user did not want to use the provided conf file, or even their own
       configuration file, but the default apache conf. With the current state setup this is  not  possible.  To
       attain this level of modularity this state will need to be broken into two states.

       /srv/salt/apache/map.jinja:

          {% set apache = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
                  'server': 'apache2',
                  'service': 'apache2',
                  'conf': '/etc/apache2/apache.conf',
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'server': 'httpd',
                  'service': 'httpd',
                  'conf': '/etc/httpd/httpd.conf',
              },
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup')) %}

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              config:
                tmpl: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ apache.server }}
            service.running:
              - name: {{ apache.service }}
              - enable: True

       /srv/salt/apache/conf.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ apache.conf }}
              - source: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:config:tmpl') }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       This new structure now allows users to choose whether they only wish to install the default Apache, or if
       they wish, overwrite the default package, service, configuration file location, or the configuration file
       itself.  In  addition  to  this  the  data  has  been broken between multiple files allowing for users to
       identify where they need to change the associated data.

   Storing Secure Data
       Secure data refers to any information that you would not wish to share with anyone  accessing  a  server.
       This could include data such as passwords, keys, or other information.

       As  all  data  within  a  state  is accessible by EVERY server that is connected it is important to store
       secure data within pillar. This will ensure that only those servers which require this secure  data  have
       access to it. In this example a use can go from an insecure configuration to one which is only accessible
       by the appropriate hosts:

       /srv/salt/mysql/testerdb.sls:

          testdb:
            mysql_database.present:
              - name: testerdb

       /srv/salt/mysql/user.sls:

          include:
            - mysql.testerdb

          testdb_user:
            mysql_user.present:
              - name: frank
              - password: "test3rdb"
              - host: localhost
              - require:
                - sls: mysql.testerdb

       Many  users  would  review  this  state  and see that the password is there in plain text, which is quite
       problematic. It results in several issues which may not be immediately visible.

       The first of these issues is clear to most users -- the password being visible in this state. This  means
       that any minion will have a copy of this, and therefore the password which is a major security concern as
       minions may not be locked down as tightly as the master server.

       The other issue that can be encountered is access by users on the master. If everyone has access  to  the
       states  (or  their  repository),  then  they are able to review this password. Keeping your password data
       accessible by only a few users is critical for both security and peace of mind.

       There is also the issue of portability. When a state is  configured  this  way  it  results  in  multiple
       changes  needing  to be made. This was discussed in the sections above but it is a critical idea to drive
       home. If states are not portable it may result in more work later!

       Fixing this issue is relatively simple, the content just needs to be moved to the associated pillar:

       /srv/pillar/mysql.sls:

          mysql:
            lookup:
              name: testerdb
              password: test3rdb
              user: frank
              host: localhost

       /srv/salt/mysql/testerdb.sls:

          testdb:
            mysql_database.present:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:name') }}

       /srv/salt/mysql/user.sls:

          include:
            - mysql.testerdb

          testdb_user:
            mysql_user.present:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:user') }}
              - password: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:password') }}
              - host: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:host') }}
              - require:
                - sls: mysql.testerdb

       Now that the database details have been moved to the associated pillar  file,  only  machines  which  are
       targeted  via pillar will have access to these details.  Access to users who should not be able to review
       these details can also be prevented while ensuring that they are still able to write  states  which  take
       advantage of this information.

REMOTE EXECUTION

       Running  pre-defined  or  arbitrary commands on remote hosts, also known as remote execution, is the core
       function of Salt. The following links explore modules and returners, which are two key elements of remote
       execution.

       Salt Execution Modules

       Salt execution modules are called by the remote execution system to perform  a  wide  variety  of  tasks.
       These  modules  provide functionality such as installing packages, restarting a service, running a remote
       command, transferring files, and so on.

                 Contains: a list of core modules that ship with Salt.

          Writing execution modules
                 Contains: a guide on how to write Salt modules.

   Running Commands on Salt Minions
       Salt can be controlled by a command line client by the root user on the Salt  master.  The  Salt  command
       line  client  uses  the  Salt  client  API to communicate with the Salt master server. The Salt client is
       straightforward and simple to use.

       Using the Salt client commands can be easily sent to the minions.

       Each of these commands accepts an explicit --config option to  point  to  either  the  master  or  minion
       configuration  file.   If  this  option is not provided and the default configuration file does not exist
       then Salt falls back to use the environment variables SALT_MASTER_CONFIG and SALT_MINION_CONFIG.

       SEE ALSO:
          Configuration

   Using the Salt Command
       The Salt command needs a few components to send information to the Salt minions. The target minions  need
       to be defined, the function to call and any arguments the function requires.

   Defining the Target Minions
       The  first argument passed to salt, defines the target minions, the target minions are accessed via their
       hostname. The default target type is a bash glob:

          salt '*foo.com' sys.doc

       Salt can also define the target minions with regular expressions:

          salt -E '.*' cmd.run 'ls -l | grep foo'

       Or to explicitly list hosts, salt can take a list:

          salt -L foo.bar.baz,quo.qux cmd.run 'ps aux | grep foo'

   More Powerful Targets
       See Targeting.

   Calling the Function
       The function to call on the specified target is placed after the target specification.

       New in version 0.9.8.

       Functions may also accept arguments, space-delimited:

          salt '*' cmd.exec_code python 'import sys; print sys.version'

       Optional, keyword arguments are also supported:

          salt '*' pip.install salt timeout=5 upgrade=True

       They are always in the form of kwarg=argument.

       Arguments are formatted as YAML:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'echo "Hello: $FIRST_NAME"' env='{FIRST_NAME: "Joe"}'

       Note: dictionaries must have curly braces around them (like the env keyword argument  above).   This  was
       changed  in  0.15.1:  in the above example, the first argument used to be parsed as the dictionary {'echo
       "Hello': '$FIRST_NAME"'}. This was generally not the expected behavior.

       If you want to test what parameters are actually passed to a module, use the test.arg_repr command:

          salt '*' test.arg_repr 'echo "Hello: $FIRST_NAME"' env='{FIRST_NAME: "Joe"}'

   Finding available minion functions
       The Salt functions are self documenting, all of the  function  documentation  can  be  retried  from  the
       minions via the sys.doc() function:

          salt '*' sys.doc

   Compound Command Execution
       If  a  series of commands needs to be sent to a single target specification then the commands can be sent
       in a single publish. This can make gathering groups of information faster, and lowers the stress  on  the
       network for repeated commands.

       Compound command execution works by sending a list of functions and arguments instead of sending a single
       function  and  argument.  The  functions  are executed on the minion in the order they are defined on the
       command line, and then the data from all of the commands are returned in a dictionary.  This  means  that
       the set of commands are called in a predictable way, and the returned data can be easily interpreted.

       Executing  compound  commands if done by passing a comma delimited list of functions, followed by a comma
       delimited list of arguments:

          salt '*' cmd.run,test.ping,test.echo 'cat /proc/cpuinfo',,foo

       The trick to look out for here, is that if a function is being passed no arguments, then there  needs  to
       be  a  placeholder for the absent arguments. This is why in the above example, there are two commas right
       next to each other.  test.ping takes no arguments, so we need to add another comma, otherwise Salt  would
       attempt to pass "foo" to test.ping.

       If  you  need to pass arguments that include commas, then make sure you add spaces around the commas that
       separate arguments. For example:

          salt '*' cmd.run,test.ping,test.echo 'echo "1,2,3"' , , foo

       You may change the arguments separator using the --args-separator option:

          salt --args-separator=:: '*' some.fun,test.echo params with , comma :: foo

   CLI Completion
       Shell completion scripts for the Salt CLI are available in the pkg Salt source directory.

   Writing Execution Modules
       Salt execution modules are the functions called by the salt command.

   Modules Are Easy to Write!
       Writing Salt execution modules is straightforward.

       A Salt execution module is a Python or Cython module placed in a directory called _modules/ at  the  root
       of  the  Salt fileserver. When using the default fileserver backend (i.e. roots), unless environments are
       otherwise defined in  the  file_roots  config  option,  the  _modules/  directory  would  be  located  in
       /srv/salt/_modules on most systems.

       Modules  placed  in  _modules/ will be synced to the minions when any of the following Salt functions are
       called:

       • state.highstate (or state.apply with no state argument)

       • saltutil.sync_modulessaltutil.sync_all

       Modules placed in _modules/ will be synced to masters when any of the following Salt runners are called:

       • saltutil.sync_modulessaltutil.sync_all

       Note that a module's default name is its filename (i.e. foo.py becomes module foo), but that its name can
       be overridden by using a __virtual__ function.

       If a Salt module has errors and cannot be imported, the Salt minion will continue to load  without  issue
       and the module with errors will simply be omitted.

       If  adding  a  Cython  module  the  file must be named <modulename>.pyx so that the loader knows that the
       module needs to be imported as a Cython module. The compilation of the Cython  module  is  automatic  and
       happens when the minion starts, so only the *.pyx file is required.

   Zip Archives as Modules
       Python  2.3  and  higher  allows  developers  to  directly import zip archives containing Python code. By
       setting enable_zip_modules to True in the minion config, the Salt loader will  be  able  to  import  .zip
       files  in this fashion. This allows Salt module developers to package dependencies with their modules for
       ease of deployment, isolation, etc.

       For a user, Zip Archive modules behave just like other modules.  When executing a function from a  module
       provided   as   the   file   my_module.zip,   a  user  would  call  a  function  within  that  module  as
       my_module.<function>.

   Creating a Zip Archive Module
       A Zip Archive module is structured similarly to a simple Python package.  The .zip file contains a single
       directory with the same name as the module.  The module code traditionally in  <module_name>.py  goes  in
       <module_name>/__init__.py.  The dependency packages are subdirectories of <module_name>/.

       Here  is  an  example  directory  structure for the lumberjack module, which has two library dependencies
       (sleep and work) to be included.

          modules $ ls -R lumberjack
          __init__.py     sleep           work

          lumberjack/sleep:
          __init__.py

          lumberjack/work:
          __init__.py

       The contents of lumberjack/__init__.py show how to import and use these included libraries.

          # Libraries included in lumberjack.zip
          from lumberjack import sleep, work

          def is_ok(person):
              """Checks whether a person is really a lumberjack"""
              return sleep.all_night(person) and work.all_day(person)

       Then, create the zip:

          modules $ zip -r lumberjack lumberjack
            adding: lumberjack/ (stored 0%)
            adding: lumberjack/__init__.py (deflated 39%)
            adding: lumberjack/sleep/ (stored 0%)
            adding: lumberjack/sleep/__init__.py (deflated 7%)
            adding: lumberjack/work/ (stored 0%)
            adding: lumberjack/work/__init__.py (deflated 7%)
          modules $ unzip -l lumberjack.zip
          Archive:  lumberjack.zip
            Length     Date   Time    Name
           --------    ----   ----    ----
                  0  08-21-15 20:08   lumberjack/
                348  08-21-15 20:08   lumberjack/__init__.py
                  0  08-21-15 19:53   lumberjack/sleep/
                 83  08-21-15 19:53   lumberjack/sleep/__init__.py
                  0  08-21-15 19:53   lumberjack/work/
                 81  08-21-15 19:21   lumberjack/work/__init__.py
           --------                   -------
                512                   6 files

       Once placed in file_roots, Salt users can distribute and use lumberjack.zip like any other module.

          $ sudo salt minion1 saltutil.sync_modules
          minion1:
            - modules.lumberjack
          $ sudo salt minion1 lumberjack.is_ok 'Michael Palin'
          minion1:
            True

   Cross Calling Execution Modules
       All of the Salt execution modules are available to each other and modules can call functions available in
       other execution modules.

       The variable __salt__ is packed into the modules after they are loaded into the Salt minion.

       The __salt__ variable is a Python dictionary containing all of the Salt functions.  Dictionary  keys  are
       strings representing the names of the modules and the values are the functions themselves.

       Salt modules can be cross-called by accessing the value in the __salt__ dict:

          def foo(bar):
              return __salt__["cmd.run"](bar)

       This code will call the run function in the cmd module and pass the argument bar to it.

   Calling Execution Modules on the Salt Master
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Execution modules can now also be called via the salt-run command using the salt runner.

   Preloaded Execution Module Data
       When interacting with execution modules often it is nice to be able to read information dynamically about
       the minion or to load in configuration parameters for a module.

       Salt allows for different types of data to be loaded into the modules by the minion.

   Grains Data
       The  values  detected  by  the  Salt  Grains  on  the  minion  are available in a Python dictionary named
       __grains__ and can be accessed from within callable objects in the Python modules.

       To see the contents of the grains dictionary for a given system in your deployment run the grains.items()
       function:

          salt 'hostname' grains.items --output=pprint

       Any value in a grains dictionary can be accessed as any other Python dictionary. For example,  the  grain
       representing  the  minion  ID  is  stored  in the id key and from an execution module, the value would be
       stored in __grains__['id'].

   Module Configuration
       Since parameters for configuring a module may be desired, Salt allows for configuration information  from
       the  minion configuration file to be passed to execution modules.

       Since the minion configuration file is a YAML document, arbitrary configuration data can be passed in the
       minion config that is read by the modules. It is therefore strongly recommended that the values passed in
       the  configuration  file  match the module name. A value intended for the test execution module should be
       named test.<value>.

       The test execution module contains usage of the module configuration and the default  configuration  file
       for  the  minion contains the information and format used to pass data to the modules. salt.modules.test,
       conf/minion.

   __init__ Function
       If you want your module to have different execution modes based on minion configuration, you can use  the
       __init__(opts)  function  to  perform  initial  module  setup.  The parameter opts is the complete minion
       configuration, as also available in the __opts__ dict.

          """
          Cheese module initialization example
          """

          def __init__(opts):
              """
              Allow foreign imports if configured to do so
              """
              if opts.get("cheese.allow_foreign", False):
                  _enable_foreign_products()

   Strings and Unicode
       An execution  module author should always assume that strings fed to the module have already decoded from
       strings into Unicode. In Python 2, these will be of type 'Unicode' and in Python 3 they will be  of  type
       str.  Calling  from  a  state  to other Salt sub-systems, should pass Unicode (or bytes if passing binary
       data). In the rare event that a state needs to write directly to disk, Unicode should  be  encoded  to  a
       string  immediately  before writing to disk. An author may use __salt_system_encoding__ to learn what the
       encoding type of the system is.  For example, 'my_string'.encode(__salt_system_encoding__').

   Outputter Configuration
       Since execution module functions can return different data, and the way the data is printed  can  greatly
       change the presentation, Salt allows for a specific outputter to be set on a function-by-function basis.

       This  is  done  be  declaring  an  __outputter__  dictionary  in  the  global  scope  of the module.  The
       __outputter__ dictionary contains a mapping of function names to Salt outputters.

          __outputter__ = {"run": "txt"}

       This will ensure that the txt outputter is used to display output from the run function.

   Virtual Modules
       Virtual modules let you override the name of a module in order to use the same name to refer  to  one  of
       several  similar  modules. The specific module that is loaded for a virtual name is selected based on the
       current platform or environment.

       For example, packages are managed across platforms using the pkg module.  pkg is a  virtual  module  name
       that  is  an  alias  for  the  specific  package  manager module that is loaded on a specific system (for
       example, yumpkg on RHEL/CentOS systems , and aptpkg on Ubuntu).

       Virtual module names are set using the __virtual__ function and the virtual name.

   __virtual__ Function
       The __virtual__ function returns either a string, True, False, or False with an error string. If a string
       is returned then the module is loaded using the name of the string  as  the  virtual  name.  If  True  is
       returned  the  module  is  loaded  using  the current module name. If False is returned the module is not
       loaded. False lets the module perform system checks and prevent loading if dependencies are not met.

       Since __virtual__ is called before the module is loaded, __salt__ will be unreliable as not  all  modules
       will  be  available  at  this  point  in  time.  The  __pillar__ and __grains__ "dunder" dictionaries are
       available however.

       NOTE:
          Modules which return a string from __virtual__ that is already used by a module that ships  with  Salt
          will _override_ the stock module.

   Returning Error Information from __virtual__
       Optionally,  Salt  plugin  modules,  such  as  execution,  state,  returner,  beacon,  etc.  modules  may
       additionally return a string containing the reason that a module could not be loaded.   For  example,  an
       execution  module  called cheese and a corresponding state module also called cheese, both depending on a
       utility called enzymes should have __virtual__ functions that handle the  case  when  the  dependency  is
       unavailable.

          """
          Cheese execution (or returner/beacon/etc.) module
          """
          try:
              import enzymes

          except ImportError:
              HAS_ENZYMES = False

          def __virtual__():

              """
              if HAS_ENZYMES:

                      "The cheese execution module cannot be loaded: enzymes unavailable.",
                  )

          def slice():
              pass

          """

              if "cheese.slice" in __salt__:
                  return "cheese"
              else:
                  return False, "The cheese state module cannot be loaded: enzymes unavailable."

   Examples
       The package manager modules are among the best examples of using the __virtual__ function. A table of all
       the virtual pkg modules can be found here.

   Overriding Virtual Module Providers
       Salt  often uses OS grains (os, osrelease, os_family, etc.) to determine which module should be loaded as
       the virtual module for pkg, service, etc. Sometimes this OS detection is  incomplete,  with  new  distros
       popping  up,  existing  distros  changing init systems, etc. The virtual modules likely to be affected by
       this are in the list below (click each item for more information):

       • pkg

       • service

       • user

       • shadow

       • group

       If Salt is using the wrong module for one of these, first of all, please report it on the issue  tracker,
       so  that  this issue can be resolved for a future release. To make it easier to troubleshoot, please also
       provide the grains.items output, taking care to redact any sensitive information.

       Then, while waiting for the SaltStack development team to fix the issue, Salt can  be  made  to  use  the
       correct module using the providers option in the minion config file:

          providers:
            service: systemd
            pkg: aptpkg

       The  above example will force the minion to use the systemd module to provide service management, and the
       aptpkg module to provide package management.

   Logging Restrictions
       As a rule, logging should not be done anywhere in a Salt module before it is loaded. This rule apples  to
       all  code  that would run before the __virtual__() function, as well as the code within the __virtual__()
       function itself.

       If logging statements are made before the virtual function determines if the  module  should  be  loaded,
       then those logging statements will be called repeatedly. This clutters up log files unnecessarily.

       Exceptions  may  be  considered for logging statements made at the trace level.  However, it is better to
       provide the necessary information by another means.  One method is to return  error  information  in  the
       __virtual__() function.

   __virtualname__
       __virtualname__  is a variable that is used by the documentation build system to know the virtual name of
       a module without calling the __virtual__ function. Modules that return  a  string  from  the  __virtual__
       function must also set the __virtualname__ variable.

       To avoid setting the virtual name string twice, you can implement __virtual__ to return the value set for
       __virtualname__ using a pattern similar to the following:

          # Define the module's virtual name
          __virtualname__ = "pkg"

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Confine this module to Mac OS with Homebrew.
              """

              if salt.utils.path.which("brew") and __grains__["os"] == "MacOS":
                  return __virtualname__
              return False

       The __virtual__() function can return a True or False boolean, a tuple, or a string. If it returns a True
       value,  this  __virtualname__ module-level attribute can be set as seen in the above example. This is the
       string that the module should be referred to as.

       When __virtual__() returns a tuple, the first item should be a boolean and the second should be a string.
       This is typically done when the module should not load. The first value of the tuple  is  False  and  the
       second is the error message to display for why the module did not load.

       For example:

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Only load if git exists on the system
              """
              if salt.utils.path.which("git") is None:
                  return (False, "The git execution module cannot be loaded: git unavailable.")
              else:
                  return True

   Documentation
       Salt  execution  modules  are  documented.  The  sys.doc() function will return the documentation for all
       available modules:

          salt '*' sys.doc

       The sys.doc function simply prints out the docstrings found in the modules; when writing  Salt  execution
       modules, please follow the formatting conventions for docstrings as they appear in the other modules.

   Adding Documentation to Salt Modules
       It is strongly suggested that all Salt modules have documentation added.

       To add documentation add a Python docstring to the function.

          def spam(eggs):
              """
              A function to make some spam with eggs!

              CLI Example::

                  salt '*' test.spam eggs
              """
              return eggs

       Now when the sys.doc call is executed the docstring will be cleanly returned to the calling terminal.

       Documentation  added  to  execution  modules  in  docstrings  will  automatically  be added to the online
       web-based documentation.

   Add Execution Module Metadata
       When writing a Python docstring for an execution module, add  information  about  the  module  using  the
       following field lists:

          :maintainer:    Thomas Hatch <thatch@saltstack.com, Seth House <shouse@saltstack.com>
          :maturity:      new
          :depends:       python-mysqldb
          :platform:      all

       The maintainer field is a comma-delimited list of developers who help maintain this module.

       The  maturity  field indicates the level of quality and testing for this module.  Standard labels will be
       determined.

       The depends field is a comma-delimited list of modules that this module depends on.

       The platform field is a comma-delimited list of platforms that this module is known to run on.

   Log Output
       You can call the logger from custom modules to write messages to the  minion  logs.  The  following  code
       snippet demonstrates writing log messages:

          import logging

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

          log.info("Here is Some Information")
          log.warning("You Should Not Do That")
          log.error("It Is Busted")

   Aliasing Functions
       Sometimes  one wishes to use a function name that would shadow a python built-in.  A common example would
       be set(). To support this, append an underscore to the function definition,  def  set_():,  and  use  the
       __func_alias__ feature to provide an alias to the function.

       __func_alias__  is a dictionary where each key is the name of a function in the module, and each value is
       a string representing the alias for that function.  When calling an aliased  function  from  a  different
       execution module, state module, or from the cli, the alias name should be used.

          __func_alias__ = {
              "set_": "set",
              "list_": "list",
          }

   Private Functions
       In  Salt,  Python  callable  objects  contained within an execution module are made available to the Salt
       minion for use. The only exception to this rule is a  callable  object  with  a  name  starting  with  an
       underscore _.

   Objects Loaded Into the Salt Minion
          def foo(bar):
              return bar

   Objects NOT Loaded into the Salt Minion
          def _foobar(baz):  # Preceded with an _
              return baz

          cheese = {}  # Not a callable Python object

   Useful Decorators for Modules
   Depends Decorator
       When  writing  execution modules there are many times where some of the module will work on all hosts but
       some functions have an external dependency, such as a service that needs to be installed or a binary that
       needs to be present on the system.

       Instead of trying to wrap much of the code in large try/except blocks, a decorator can be used.

       If the dependencies passed to the decorator don't exist, then the salt minion will remove those functions
       from the module on that host.

       If a fallback_function is defined, it will replace the function instead of removing it

          import logging

          from salt.utils.decorators import depends

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

          try:
              import dependency_that_sometimes_exists
          except ImportError as e:
              log.trace("Failed to import dependency_that_sometimes_exists: {0}".format(e))

          @depends("dependency_that_sometimes_exists")
          def foo():
              """
              Function with a dependency on the "dependency_that_sometimes_exists" module,
              if the "dependency_that_sometimes_exists" is missing this function will not exist
              """
              return True

          def _fallback():
              """

              return '"dependency_that_sometimes_exists" needs to be installed for this function to exist'

          @depends("dependency_that_sometimes_exists", fallback_function=_fallback)
          def foo():

              replaced with "_fallback"
              """
              return True

       In addition to global dependencies the depends decorator also supports raw booleans.

          from salt.utils.decorators import depends

          HAS_DEP = False
          try:
              import dependency_that_sometimes_exists

              HAS_DEP = True

              pass

          @depends(HAS_DEP)
          def foo():
              return True

   Executors
       Executors are used by minion to execute module functions. Executors can be used to modify  the  functions
       behavior, do any pre-execution steps or execute in a specific way like sudo executor.

       Executors could be passed as a list and they will be used one-by-one in the order. If an executor returns
       None  the  next  one will be called. If an executor returns non-None the execution sequence is terminated
       and the returned value is used as a result. It's a way executor could control modules  execution  working
       as  a  filter.  Note that executor could actually not execute the function but just do something else and
       return None like splay executor does. In this case some other  executor  have  to  be  used  as  a  final
       executor that will actually execute the function. See examples below.

       Executors list could be passed by minion config file in the following way:

          module_executors:
            - splay
            - direct_call
          splaytime: 30

       The same could be done by command line:

          salt -t 40 --module-executors='[splay, direct_call]' --executor-opts='{splaytime: 30}' '*' test.version

       And the same command called via netapi will look like this:

          curl -sSk https://localhost:8000 \
              -H 'Accept: application/x-yaml' \
              -H 'X-Auth-Token: 697adbdc8fe971d09ae4c2a3add7248859c87079' \
              -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
              -d '[{
                  "client": "local",
                  "tgt": "*",
                  "fun": "test.version",
                  "module_executors": ["splay", "direct_call"],
                  "executor_opts": {"splaytime": 10}
                  }]'

          The full list of executors

   Writing Salt Executors
       A  Salt  executor is written in a similar manner to a Salt execution module.  Executor is a python module
       placed into the executors folder and containing the execute function with the following signature:

          def execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs):
              ...

       Where the args are:

       opts:  Dictionary containing the minion configuration options

       data:  Dictionary containing the load data including executor_opts passed via cmdline/API.

       func, args, kwargs:
              Execution module function to be executed and its arguments. For instance the simplest  direct_call
              executor just runs it as func(*args, **kwargs).

       Returns:
              None  if  the  execution  sequence  must  be  continued  with  the next executor.  Error string or
              execution result if the job is done and execution must be stopped.

       Specific options could be passed to the executor via minion config or  via  executor_opts  argument.  For
       instance to access splaytime option set by minion config executor should access opts.get('splaytime'). To
       access  the  option  set  by  commandline or API data.get('executor_opts', {}).get('splaytime') should be
       used. So if an option is safe and must be accessible by user executor should check it in both places, but
       if an option is unsafe it should be read from the only config ignoring the passed request data.

       There is also a function named all_missing_func which the name of the func is passed, which can  be  used
       to verify if the command should still be run, even if it is not loaded in minion_mods.

CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

       Salt  contains  a  robust  and  flexible configuration management framework, which is built on the remote
       execution core. This framework executes on the minions, allowing effortless,  simultaneous  configuration
       of  tens  of  thousands of hosts, by rendering language specific state files. The following links provide
       resources to learn more about state and renderers.

       States Express the state of a host using small, easy to read, easy to understand configuration files.  No
              programming required.

              Full list of states
                     Contains:  list  of  install packages, create users, transfer files, start services, and so
                     on.

              Pillar System
                     Contains: description of Salt's Pillar system.

              Highstate data structure
                     Contains: a dry vocabulary and technical representation of the  configuration  format  that
                     states represent.

              Writing states
                     Contains:  a  guide  on  how to write Salt state modules, easily extending Salt to directly
                     manage more software.

       NOTE:
          Salt execution modules are different from state modules and cannot be called as  a  state  in  an  SLS
          file. In other words, this will not work:

              moe:
                user.rename:
                  - new_name: larry
                  - onlyif: id moe

          You must use the module states to call execution modules directly. Here's an example:

              rename_moe:
                module.run:
                  - name: user.rename
                  - m_name: moe
                  - new_name: larry
                  - onlyif: id moe

       Renderers
              Renderers  use state configuration files written in a variety of languages, templating engines, or
              files. Salt's configuration management system is, under the hood, language agnostic.

              Full list of renderers
                     Contains: a list of renderers.  YAML is one choice, but many systems  are  available,  from
                     alternative templating engines to the PyDSL language for rendering sls formulas.

              Renderers
                     Contains:  more  information  about  renderers.  Salt  states  are  only concerned with the
                     ultimate highstate data structure, not how the data structure was created.

   State System Reference
       Salt offers an interface to manage the configuration or "state" of the Salt minions. This interface is  a
       fully capable mechanism used to enforce the state of systems from a central manager.

   Mod Aggregate State Runtime Modifications
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The mod_aggregate system was added in the 2014.7.0 release of Salt and allows for runtime modification of
       the executing state data. Simply put, it allows for the data used by Salt's state system to be changed on
       the  fly at runtime, kind of like a configuration management JIT compiler or a runtime import system. All
       in all, it makes Salt much more dynamic.

   How it Works
       The best example is the pkg state. One of the major requests in Salt has long been adding the ability  to
       install  all  packages  defined  at  the  same time. The mod_aggregate system makes this a reality. While
       executing Salt's state system, when a pkg state is reached the mod_aggregate function in the state module
       is called. For pkg this function scans all of the other states that are slated to run, and picks  up  the
       references  to  name  and pkgs, then adds them to pkgs in the first state. The result is a single call to
       yum, apt-get, pacman, etc as part of the first package install.

   How to Use it
       NOTE:
          Since this option changes the basic behavior of the state runtime, after it is enabled  states  should
          be executed using test=True to ensure that the desired behavior is preserved.

   In config files
       The  first  way  to  enable  aggregation  is  with  a configuration option in either the master or minion
       configuration files. Salt will invoke mod_aggregate the first time it encounters a state module that  has
       aggregate support.

       If  this option is set in the master config it will apply to all state runs on all minions, if set in the
       minion config it will only apply to said minion.

       Enable for all states:

          state_aggregate: True

       Enable for only specific state modules:

          state_aggregate:
            - pkg

   In states
       The second way to enable aggregation is with the state-level aggregate keyword.  In  this  configuration,
       Salt  will  invoke  the  mod_aggregate function the first time it encounters this keyword. Any additional
       occurrences of the keyword will be ignored as the aggregation has already taken place.

       The following example will trigger mod_aggregate when the lamp_stack state is processed  resulting  in  a
       single call to the underlying package manager.

          lamp_stack:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - php
                - mysql-client
              - aggregate: True

          memcached:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: memcached

   Adding mod_aggregate to a State Module
       Adding a mod_aggregate routine to an existing state module only requires adding an additional function to
       the state module called mod_aggregate.

       The  mod_aggregate  function  just needs to accept three parameters and return the low data to use. Since
       mod_aggregate is working on the state runtime level it does need to manipulate low data.

       The three parameters are low, chunks, and running. The low option is the low data for the state execution
       which is about to be called. The chunks is the list of all of the low data dictionaries which  are  being
       executed  by  the  runtime and the running dictionary is the return data from all of the state executions
       which have already be executed.

       This example, simplified from the pkg state, shows how to create mod_aggregate functions:

          def mod_aggregate(low, chunks, running):
              """
              The mod_aggregate function which looks up all packages in the available
              low chunks and merges them into a single pkgs ref in the present low data
              """
              pkgs = []
              # What functions should we aggregate?
              agg_enabled = [
                  "installed",
                  "latest",
                  "removed",
                  "purged",
              ]
              # The `low` data is just a dict with the state, function (fun) and
              # arguments passed in from the sls
              if low.get("fun") not in agg_enabled:
                  return low
              # Now look into what other things are set to execute
              for chunk in chunks:
                  # The state runtime uses "tags" to track completed jobs, it may
                  # look familiar with the _|-
                  tag = __utils__["state.gen_tag"](chunk)
                  if tag in running:
                      # Already ran the pkg state, skip aggregation
                      continue
                  if chunk.get("state") == "pkg":
                      if "__agg__" in chunk:
                          continue
                      # Check for the same function
                      if chunk.get("fun") != low.get("fun"):
                          continue
                      # Pull out the pkg names!
                      if "pkgs" in chunk:
                          pkgs.extend(chunk["pkgs"])
                          chunk["__agg__"] = True
                      elif "name" in chunk:
                          pkgs.append(chunk["name"])
                          chunk["__agg__"] = True
              if pkgs:
                  if "pkgs" in low:
                      low["pkgs"].extend(pkgs)
                  else:
                      low["pkgs"] = pkgs
              # The low has been modified and needs to be returned to the state
              # runtime for execution
              return low

   Altering States
       NOTE:
          This documentation has been moved here.

   File State Backups
       In 0.10.2 a new feature was added for backing  up  files  that  are  replaced  by  the  file.managed  and
       file.recurse  states.  The new feature is called the backup mode. Setting the backup mode is easy, but it
       can be set in a number of places.

       The backup_mode can be set in the minion config file:

          backup_mode: minion

       Or it can be set for each file:

          /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://ssh/sshd_config
              - backup: minion

   Backed-up Files
       The files will be saved in the minion cachedir under the directory named file_backup. The files  will  be
       in  the  location relative to where they were under the root filesystem and be appended with a timestamp.
       This should make them easy to browse.

   Interacting with Backups
       Starting with version 0.17.0, it will  be  possible  to  list,  restore,  and  delete  previously-created
       backups.

   Listing
       The backups for a given file can be listed using file.list_backups:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.list_backups /tmp/foo.txt
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              0:
                  ----------

                  Size:
                      35

   Restoring
       Restoring  is  easy  using  file.restore_backup,  just  pass  the  path  and  the  numeric  id found with
       file.list_backups:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.restore_backup /tmp/foo.txt 1
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              comment:
                  Successfully restored /var/cache/salt/minion/file_backup/tmp/foo.txt_Sat_Jul_27_17:48:28_369804_2013 to /tmp/foo.txt
              result:
                  True

       The existing file will be backed up, just in case, as can be seen if file.list_backups is run again:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.list_backups /tmp/foo.txt
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------

                      35

       NOTE:
          Since no state is being run, restoring a file will not trigger any watches for the file.  So,  if  you
          are restoring a config file for a service, it will likely still be necessary to run a service.restart.

   Deleting
       Deleting backups can be done using file.delete_backup:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.delete_backup /tmp/foo.txt 0
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              comment:

   Understanding State Compiler Ordering
       NOTE:
          This  tutorial  is  an  intermediate  level tutorial. Some basic understanding of the state system and
          writing Salt Formulas is assumed.

       Salt's state system is built to deliver all of the power  of  configuration  management  systems  without
       sacrificing  simplicity.  This  tutorial is made to help users understand in detail just how the order is
       defined for state executions in Salt.

       This tutorial is written to represent the behavior of Salt as of version 0.17.0.

   Compiler Basics
       To understand ordering in depth some very basic knowledge about the state compiler is  very  helpful.  No
       need to worry though, this is very high level!

   High Data and Low Data
       When  defining Salt Formulas in YAML the data that is being represented is referred to by the compiler as
       High Data. When the data is initially loaded into the compiler it is a single  large  python  dictionary,
       this dictionary can be viewed raw by running:

          salt '*' state.show_highstate

       This  "High  Data"  structure  is then compiled down to "Low Data". The Low Data is what is matched up to
       create individual executions in Salt's configuration management system. The low data is an  ordered  list
       of single state calls to execute. Once the low data is compiled the evaluation order can be seen.

       The low data can be viewed by running:

          salt '*' state.show_lowstate

       NOTE:
          The state execution module contains MANY functions for evaluating the state system and is well worth a
          read! These routines can be very useful when debugging states or to help deepen one's understanding of
          Salt's state system.

       As an example, a state written thusly:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd
            service.running:
              - name: httpd
              - watch:
                - file: apache_conf
                - pkg: apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://apache/httpd.conf

       Will have High Data which looks like this represented in json:

          {
              "apache": {
                  "pkg": [
                      {
                          "name": "httpd"
                      },
                      "installed",
                      {
                          "order": 10000
                      }
                  ],
                  "service": [
                      {
                          "name": "httpd"
                      },
                      {
                          "watch": [
                              {
                                  "file": "apache_conf"
                              },
                              {
                                  "pkg": "apache"
                              }
                          ]
                      },
                      "running",
                      {
                          "order": 10001
                      }
                  ],
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "__env__": "base"
              },
              "apache_conf": {
                  "file": [
                      {
                          "name": "/etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf"
                      },
                      {
                          "source": "salt://apache/httpd.conf"
                      },
                      "managed",
                      {
                          "order": 10002
                      }
                  ],
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "__env__": "base"
              }
          }

       The subsequent Low Data will look like this:

          [
              {
                  "name": "httpd",
                  "state": "pkg",
                  "__id__": "apache",
                  "fun": "installed",
                  "__env__": "base",
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "order": 10000
              },
              {
                  "name": "httpd",
                  "watch": [
                      {
                          "file": "apache_conf"
                      },
                      {
                          "pkg": "apache"
                      }
                  ],
                  "state": "service",
                  "__id__": "apache",
                  "fun": "running",
                  "__env__": "base",
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "order": 10001
              },
              {
                  "name": "/etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf",
                  "source": "salt://apache/httpd.conf",
                  "state": "file",
                  "__id__": "apache_conf",
                  "fun": "managed",
                  "__env__": "base",
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "order": 10002
              }
          ]

       This tutorial discusses the Low Data evaluation and the state runtime.

   Ordering Layers
       Salt  defines  2  order interfaces which are evaluated in the state runtime and defines these orders in a
       number of passes.

   Definition Order
       NOTE:
          The Definition Order system can be disabled by turning the option state_auto_order  to  False  in  the
          master configuration file.

       The  top level of ordering is the Definition Order. The Definition Order is the order in which states are
       defined in salt formulas. This is very straightforward on basic  states  which  do  not  contain  include
       statements or a top file, as the states are just ordered from the top of the file, but the include system
       starts to bring in some simple rules for how the Definition Order is defined.

       Looking back at the "Low Data" and "High Data" shown above, the order key has been transparently added to
       the data to enable the Definition Order.

   The Include Statement
       Basically,  if  there  is an include statement in a formula, then the formulas which are included will be
       run BEFORE the contents of the formula which is including them. Also, the include statement is a list, so
       they will be loaded in the order in which they are included.

       In the following case:

       foo.sls

          include:
            - bar
            - baz

       bar.sls

          include:
            - quo

       baz.sls

          include:
            - qux

       In the above case if state.apply foo were called then the formulas will be loaded in the following order:

       1. quo

       2. bar

       3. qux

       4. baz

       5. foo

   The order Flag
       The Definition Order happens transparently  in  the  background,  but  the  ordering  can  be  explicitly
       overridden using the order flag in states:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd
              - order: 1

       This  order flag will over ride the definition order, this makes it very simple to create states that are
       always executed first, last or in specific stages, a great  example  is  defining  a  number  of  package
       repositories  that need to be set up before anything else, or final checks that need to be run at the end
       of a state run by using order: last or order: -1.

       When the order flag is explicitly set the Definition Order system will omit setting  an  order  for  that
       state and directly use the order flag defined.

   Lexicographical Fall-back
       Salt states were written to ALWAYS execute in the same order. Before the introduction of Definition Order
       in  version  0.17.0  everything  was  ordered  lexicographically according to the name of the state, then
       function then id.

       This is the way Salt has always ensured that states always run in the same order regardless of where they
       are deployed, the addition of the Definition Order method mealy makes  this  finite  ordering  easier  to
       follow.

       The  lexicographical  ordering  is  still  applied  but  it only has any effect when two order statements
       collide. This means that if multiple states are assigned the same order number that they will  fall  back
       to lexicographical ordering to ensure that every execution still happens in a finite order.

       NOTE:
          If  running  with  state_auto_order:  False  the  order  key  is  not  set  automatically,  since  the
          Lexicographical order can be derived from other keys.

   Requisite Ordering
       Salt states are fully declarative, in that they are written to declare the state in which a system should
       be. This means that components can require that other components have been set  up  successfully.  Unlike
       the other ordering systems, the Requisite system in Salt is evaluated at runtime.

       The  requisite system is also built to ensure that the ordering of execution never changes, but is always
       the same for a given set of states. This is accomplished by using a runtime that processes  states  in  a
       completely  predictable  order  instead  of  using  an  event  loop  based  system like other declarative
       configuration management systems.

   Runtime Requisite Evaluation
       The requisite system is evaluated as the components are found, and the requisites are always evaluated in
       the same order. This explanation will be followed by an example, as the raw explanation may be  a  little
       dizzying at first as it creates a linear dependency evaluation sequence.

       The  "Low  Data"  is  an ordered list or dictionaries, the state runtime evaluates each dictionary in the
       order in which they are arranged in the list. When evaluating a  single  dictionary  it  is  checked  for
       requisites, requisites are evaluated in order, require then watch then prereq.

       NOTE:
          If  using  requisite in statements like require_in and watch_in these will be compiled down to require
          and watch statements before runtime evaluation.

       Each requisite contains an ordered list of requisites, these requisites are looked  up  in  the  list  of
       dictionaries  and  then executed. Once all requisites have been evaluated and executed then the requiring
       state can safely be run (or not run if requisites have not been met).

       This means that the requisites are always evaluated in the same order, again ensuring  one  of  the  core
       design principals of Salt's State system to ensure that execution is always finite is intact.

   Simple Runtime Evaluation Example
       Given the above "Low Data" the states will be evaluated in the following order:

       1. The pkg.installed is executed ensuring that the apache package is installed, it contains no requisites
          and is therefore the first defined state to execute.

       2. The  service.running  state  is evaluated but NOT executed, a watch requisite is found, therefore they
          are read in order, the runtime first checks for the file, sees that it has not been executed and calls
          for the file state to be evaluated.

       3. The file state is evaluated AND  executed,  since  it,  like  the  pkg  state  does  not  contain  any
          requisites.

       4. The  evaluation  of  the service state continues, it next checks the pkg requisite and sees that it is
          met, with all requisites met the service state is now executed.

   Best Practice
       The best practice in Salt is to choose a method and stick with it,  official  states  are  written  using
       requisites  for  all associations since requisites create clean, traceable dependency trails and make for
       the most portable formulas. To accomplish something similar to how classical imperative systems  function
       all  requisites can be omitted and the failhard option then set to True in the master configuration, this
       will stop all state runs at the first instance of a failure.

       In the end, using requisites creates very tight and fine grained states, not using requisites makes  full
       sequence runs and while slightly easier to write, and gives much less control over the executions.

   Extending External SLS Data
       Sometimes  a  state  defined  in  one  SLS file will need to be modified from a separate SLS file. A good
       example of this is when an argument needs to  be  overwritten  or  when  a  service  needs  to  watch  an
       additional state.

   The Extend Declaration
       The  standard  way  to  extend  is  via  the  extend  declaration.  The extend declaration is a top level
       declaration like include and encapsulates ID declaration data included from other SLS files.  A  standard
       extend looks like this:

          include:
            - http
            - ssh

          extend:
            apache:
              file:
                - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - source: salt://http/httpd2.conf
            ssh-server:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - file: /etc/ssh/banner

          /etc/ssh/banner:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://ssh/banner

       A  few critical things happened here, first off the SLS files that are going to be extended are included,
       then the extend dec is defined. Under the extend dec 2 IDs are extended, the apache ID's  file  state  is
       overwritten  with  a  new  name  and  source. Then the ssh server is extended to watch the banner file in
       addition to anything it is already watching.

   Extend is a Top Level Declaration
       This means that extend can only be called once in an sls, if it is used twice then only one of the extend
       blocks will be read. So this is WRONG:

          include:
            - http
            - ssh

          extend:
            apache:
              file:
                - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - source: salt://http/httpd2.conf
          # Second extend will overwrite the first!! Only make one
          extend:
            ssh-server:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - file: /etc/ssh/banner

   The Requisite in Statement
       Since one of the most common things to do when extending another SLS is to add states for  a  service  to
       watch,  or  anything  for  a  watcher  to  watch,  the  requisite in statement was added to 0.9.8 to make
       extending the watch and require lists easier. The ssh-server extend statement above could be more cleanly
       defined like so:

          include:
            - ssh

          /etc/ssh/banner:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://ssh/banner
              - watch_in:
                - service: ssh-server

   Rules to Extend By
       There are a few rules to remember when extending states:

       1. Always include the SLS being extended with an include declaration

       2. Requisites (watch and require) are appended to, everything else is overwritten

       3. extend is a top level declaration, like an ID declaration, cannot be declared twice in a single SLS

       4. Many IDs can be extended under the extend declaration

   Failhard Global Option
       Normally, when a state fails Salt continues to execute the remainder of the defined states and will  only
       refuse to execute states that require the failed state.

       But the situation may exist, where you would want all state execution to stop if a single state execution
       fails. The capability to do this is called failing hard.

   State Level Failhard
       A  single  state  can  have a failhard set, this means that if this individual state fails that all state
       execution will immediately stop. This is a great thing to do if there is a state that sets up a  critical
       config  file  and  setting  a  require  for each state that reads the config would be cumbersome.  A good
       example of this would be setting up a package manager early on:

          /etc/yum.repos.d/company.repo:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://company/yumrepo.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - order: 1
              - failhard: True

       In this situation, the yum repo is going to be configured before other states, and if  it  fails  to  lay
       down  the  config  file,  than  no  other  states  will be executed.  It is possible to override a Global
       Failhard (see below) by explicitly setting it to False in the state.

   Global Failhard
       It may be desired to have failhard be applied to every state that is executed, if this is the case,  then
       failhard  can  be set in the master configuration file. Setting failhard in the master configuration file
       will result in failing hard when any minion gathering states from the master have a state fail.

       This is NOT the default behavior, normally Salt will only fail states that require a failed state.

       Using the global failhard is generally not recommended, since it can result in states not being  executed
       or  even  checked. It can also be confusing to see states failhard if an admin is not actively aware that
       the failhard has been set.

       To use the global failhard set failhard to True in the master configuration file.

   Global State Arguments
       NOTE:
          This documentation has been moved here.

   Highstate data structure definitions
   The Salt State Tree
       A state tree is a collection of SLS files and directories that live  under  the  directory  specified  in
       file_roots.

       NOTE:
          Directory  names  or  filenames  in  the state tree cannot contain a period, with the exception of the
          period in the .sls file suffix.

   Top file
       The main state file that instructs minions what environment and modules to use during state execution.

       Configurable via state_top.

       SEE ALSO:
          A detailed description of the top file

   Include declaration
       Defines a list of Module reference strings to include in this SLS.

       Occurs only in the top level of the SLS data structure.

       Example:

          include:
            - edit.vim
            - http.server

   Module reference
       The name of a SLS module defined by a separate SLS file and residing on the Salt Master. A  module  named
       edit.vim is a reference to the SLS file salt://edit/vim.sls.

   ID declaration
       Defines  an  individual  highstate  component.  Always references a value of a dictionary containing keys
       referencing State declaration and Requisite declaration. Can be overridden by a  Name  declaration  or  a
       Names declaration.

       Occurs on the top level or under the Extend declaration.

       Must  be  unique  across  entire state tree. If the same ID declaration is used twice, only the first one
       matched will be used. All subsequent ID declarations with the same name will be ignored.

       NOTE:
          Naming gotchas

          In Salt versions earlier than 0.9.7, ID declarations containing dots  would  result  in  unpredictable
          output.

   Extend declaration
       Extends  a  Name declaration from an included SLS module. The keys of the extend declaration always refer
       to an existing ID declaration which have been defined in included SLS modules.

       Occurs only in the top level and defines a dictionary.

       States cannot be extended more than once in a single state run.

       Extend declarations are useful for adding-to or overriding parts of a State declaration that  is  defined
       in another SLS file. In the following contrived example, the shown mywebsite.sls file is include -ing and
       extend  -ing  the apache.sls module in order to add a watch declaration that will restart Apache whenever
       the Apache configuration file, mywebsite changes.

          include:
            - apache

          extend:

          mywebsite:

              - name: /var/www/mysite

       SEE ALSO:

          Sometimes it is more convenient to use the watch_in or require_in syntax instead of extending  another
          SLS file.

          State Requisites

   State declaration
       A  list  which  contains  one  string  defining  the  Function declaration and any number of Function arg
       declaration dictionaries.

       Can, optionally, contain a number of additional components like the name override components —  name  and
       names. Can also contain requisite declarations.

       Occurs under an ID declaration.

   Requisite declaration
       A list containing requisite references.

       Used to build the action dependency tree. While Salt states are made to execute in a deterministic order,
       this order is managed by requiring and watching other Salt states.

       Occurs as a list component under a State declaration or as a key under an ID declaration.

   Requisite reference
       A  single key dictionary. The key is the name of the referenced State declaration and the value is the ID
       of the referenced ID declaration.

       Occurs as a single index in a Requisite declaration list.

   Function declaration
       The name of the function to call within the state. A state declaration can contain only a single function
       declaration.

       For example, the following state declaration calls the installed function in the pkg state module:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []

       The function can be declared inline with the state as a shortcut.  The actual data structure is  compiled
       to this form:

          httpd:
            pkg:
              - installed

       Where  the  function  is a string in the body of the state declaration.  Technically when the function is
       declared in dot notation the compiler converts it to be a string in the state declaration list. Note that
       the use of the first example more than once in an ID declaration is invalid yaml.

       INVALID:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed
            service.running

       When passing a function without arguments and another state declaration within a single  ID  declaration,
       then  the  long  or "standard" format needs to be used since otherwise it does not represent a valid data
       structure.

       VALID:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running: []

       Occurs as the only index in the State declaration list.

   Function arg declaration
       A single key dictionary referencing a Python type which is to be passed to the named Function declaration
       as a parameter. The type must be the data type expected by the function.

       Occurs under a Function declaration.

       For example in the following state declaration user, group, and mode  are  passed  as  arguments  to  the
       managed function in the file state module:

          /etc/http/conf/http.conf:
            file.managed:
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644

   Name declaration
       Overrides the name argument of a State declaration. If name is not specified the ID declaration satisfies
       the name argument.

       The name is always a single key dictionary referencing a string.

       Overriding name is useful for a variety of scenarios.

       For  example,  avoiding  clashing  ID declarations. The following two state declarations cannot both have
       /etc/motd as the ID declaration:

          motd_perms:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/motd
              - mode: 644

          motd_quote:
            file.append:
              - name: /etc/motd
              - text: "Of all smells, bread; of all tastes, salt."

       Another common reason to override name is if the ID declaration is long and needs  to  be  referenced  in
       multiple  places.  In  the  example  below  it  is  much  easier  to  specify  mywebsite  than to specify
       /etc/apache2/sites-available/mywebsite.com multiple times:

          mywebsite:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/apache2/sites-available/mywebsite.com
              - source: salt://mywebsite.com

          a2ensite mywebsite.com:
            cmd.wait:
              - unless: test -L /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mywebsite.com
              - watch:
                - file: mywebsite

          apache2:
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - file: mywebsite

   Names declaration
       Expands the contents of the containing State declaration into multiple state declarations, each with  its
       own name.

       For example, given the following state declaration:

          python-pkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - names:
                - python-django
                - python-crypto
                - python-yaml

       Once  converted  into  the  lowstate data structure the above state declaration will be expanded into the
       following three state declarations:

          python-django:
            pkg.installed

          python-crypto:
            pkg.installed

          python-yaml:
            pkg.installed

       Other values can be overridden during the expansion by providing an additional dictionary level.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

   Include and Exclude
       Salt SLS files can include other SLS files and exclude SLS files that have been otherwise included.  This
       allows for an SLS file to easily extend or manipulate other SLS files.

   Include
       When other SLS files are included, everything defined in the included SLS file will be added to the state
       run. When including define a list of SLS formulas to include:

          include:
            - http
            - libvirt

       The  include statement will include SLS formulas from the same environment that the including SLS formula
       is in. But the environment can be explicitly  defined  in  the  configuration  to  override  the  running
       environment,  therefore  if  an SLS formula needs to be included from an external environment named "dev"
       the following syntax is used:

          include:
            - dev: http

       NOTE: include does not simply inject the states where you place it in  the  SLS  file.  If  you  need  to
       guarantee order of execution, consider using requisites.

          Do not use dots in SLS file names or their directories

                 The  initial implementation of top.sls and include-declaration followed the python import model
                 where a slash is represented as a period.  This means that a SLS file with a period in the name
                 ( besides the suffix period) can not be referenced.   For  example,  webserver_1.0.sls  is  not
                 referenceable because webserver_1.0 would refer to the directory/file webserver_1/0.sls

                 The  same  applies  for  any  subdirectories,  this  is  especially 'tricky' when git repos are
                 created.  Another command that typically can't render its output is `state.show_sls` of a  file
                 in a path that contains a dot.

   Relative Include
       In  Salt 0.16.0, the capability to include SLS formulas which are relative to the running SLS formula was
       added.  Simply precede the formula name with a .:

          include:
            - .virt
            - .virt.hyper

       In Salt 2015.8, the ability to include SLS formulas which are relative to the parents of the running  SLS
       formula  was  added.  In order to achieve this, precede the formula name with more than one . (dot). Much
       like Python's relative import abilities, two or more leading dots represent a  relative  include  of  the
       parent or parents of the current package, with each .  representing one level after the first.

       The  following  SLS configuration, if placed within example.dev.virtual, would result in example.http and
       base being included respectively:

          include:
            - ..http
            - ...base

   Exclude
       The exclude statement, added in Salt 0.10.3, allows an SLS to hard exclude another SLS file or a specific
       id. The component is excluded after the high data has  been  compiled,  so  nothing  should  be  able  to
       override an exclude.

       Since  the  exclude  can  remove an id or an sls the type of component to exclude needs to be defined. An
       exclude statement that verifies that the running  highstate  does  not  contain  the  http  sls  and  the
       /etc/vimrc id would look like this:

          exclude:
            - sls: http
            - id: /etc/vimrc

       NOTE:
          The current state processing flow checks for duplicate IDs before processing excludes. An error occurs
          if duplicate IDs are present even if one of the IDs is targeted by an exclude.

   State System Layers
       The Salt state system is comprised of multiple layers. While using Salt does not require an understanding
       of  the  state  layers,  a  deeper  understanding  of  how  Salt  compiles and manages states can be very
       beneficial.

   Function Call
       The lowest layer of functionality in the state system is the direct state function call. State executions
       are executions of single state functions at the core. These individual functions  are  defined  in  state
       modules and can be called directly via the state.single command.

          salt '*' state.single pkg.installed name='vim'

   Low Chunk
       The  low  chunk  is  the  bottom  of  the  Salt state compiler. This is a data representation of a single
       function call. The low chunk is sent to the state caller and used to execute a single state function.

       A single low chunk can be executed manually via the state.low command.

          salt '*' state.low '{name: vim, state: pkg, fun: installed}'

       The passed data reflects what the state execution system gets after compiling  the  data  down  from  sls
       formulas.

   Low State
       The  Low State layer is the list of low chunks "evaluated" in order. To see what the low state looks like
       for a highstate, run:

          salt '*' state.show_lowstate

       This will display the raw lowstate in the order which each low chunk will  be  evaluated.  The  order  of
       evaluation  is  not  necessarily  the  order  of  execution,  since  requisites are evaluated at runtime.
       Requisite execution and evaluation is finite; this means that the order of execution can  be  ascertained
       with 100% certainty based on the order of the low state.

   High Data
       High  data is the data structure represented in YAML via SLS files. The High data structure is created by
       merging the data components rendered inside sls files (or other render systems). The  High  data  can  be
       easily  viewed  by  executing  the state.show_highstate or state.show_sls functions. Since this data is a
       somewhat complex data structure, it may be easier to read using the json, yaml, or pprint outputters:

          salt '*' state.show_highstate --out yaml
          salt '*' state.show_sls edit.vim --out pprint

   SLS
       Above "High Data", the logical layers are no longer  technically  required  to  be  executed,  or  to  be
       executed  in  a  hierarchy. This means that how the High data is generated is optional and very flexible.
       The SLS layer allows for many mechanisms to be used  to  render  sls  data  from  files  or  to  use  the
       fileserver backend to generate sls and file data from external systems.

       The SLS layer can be called directly to execute individual sls formulas.

       NOTE:
          SLS  Formulas  have  historically  been  called  "SLS  files".  This  is because a single SLS was only
          constituted in a single file. Now the term "SLS Formula" better expresses how a compartmentalized  SLS
          can  be expressed in a much more dynamic way by combining pillar and other sources, and the SLS can be
          dynamically generated.

       To call a single SLS formula named edit.vim, execute state.apply and pass edit.vim as an argument:

          salt '*' state.apply edit.vim

   HighState
       Calling SLS directly logically assigns what states should be executed from the  context  of  the  calling
       minion.  The Highstate layer is used to allow for full contextual assignment of what is executed where to
       be tied to groups of, or individual, minions entirely from the master. This means that the environment of
       a minion, and all associated execution data pertinent to said minion, can be  assigned  from  the  master
       without  needing  to  execute or configure anything on the target minion. This also means that the minion
       can independently retrieve information about its complete configuration from the master.

       To execute the highstate use state.apply:

          salt '*' state.apply

   Orchestrate
       The orchestrate layer expresses the highest functional layer  of  Salt's  automated  logic  systems.  The
       Overstate  allows  for stateful and functional orchestration of routines from the master. The orchestrate
       defines in data execution stages which minions should execute states, or functions,  and  in  what  order
       using requisite logic.

   The Orchestrate Runner
       NOTE:
          This documentation has been moved here.

   Ordering States
       The  way  in  which  configuration  management  systems  are  executed  is  a  hotly debated topic in the
       configuration management world. Two major philosophies exist on the subject,  to  either  execute  in  an
       imperative  fashion where things are executed in the order in which they are defined, or in a declarative
       fashion where dependencies need to be mapped between objects.

       Imperative ordering is finite and generally considered easier to write, but declarative ordering is  much
       more powerful and flexible but generally considered more difficult to create.

       Salt  has  been  created  to  get  the best of both worlds. States are evaluated in a finite order, which
       guarantees that states are always executed in the same order, and  the  states  runtime  is  declarative,
       making Salt fully aware of dependencies via the requisite system.

   State Auto Ordering
       Salt  always  executes states in a finite manner, meaning that they will always execute in the same order
       regardless of the system that is executing them. This evaluation order makes it easy to know  what  order
       the  states  will be executed in, but it is important to note that the requisite system will override the
       ordering defined in the files, and the order option, described below, will also  override  the  order  in
       which states are executed.

       This  ordering  system  can  be disabled in preference of lexicographic (classic) ordering by setting the
       state_auto_order option to False in the master configuration file. Otherwise,  state_auto_order  defaults
       to True.

       How compiler ordering is managed is described further in compiler-ordering.

   Requisite Statements
       NOTE:
          The behavior of requisites changed in version 0.9.7 of Salt.  This documentation applies to requisites
          in version 0.9.7 and later.

       Often  when setting up states any single action will require or depend on another action. Salt allows for
       the building of relationships between states with requisite statements.  A  requisite  statement  ensures
       that  the  named  state  is  evaluated  before the state requiring it. There are three types of requisite
       statements in Salt, require, watch, and prereq.

       These requisite statements are applied to a specific state declaration:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/httpd.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd

       In this example, the require requisite is used to declare that the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should
       only be set up if the pkg state executes successfully.

       The requisite system works by finding the states that are required and executing them  before  the  state
       that requires them. Then the required states can be evaluated to see if they have executed correctly.

       Require statements can refer to any state defined in Salt. The basic examples are pkg, service, and file,
       but any used state can be referenced.

       In  addition  to state declarations such as pkg, file, etc., sls type requisites are also recognized, and
       essentially allow 'chaining' of states. This provides a mechanism  to  ensure  the  proper  sequence  for
       complex state formulas, especially when the discrete states are split or groups into separate sls files:

          include:
            - network

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd
                - sls: network

       In this example, the httpd service running state will not be applied (i.e., the httpd service will not be
       started) unless both the httpd package is installed AND the network state is satisfied.

       NOTE:
          Requisite matching

          Requisites  match  on both the ID Declaration and the name parameter.  Therefore, if using the pkgs or
          sources argument to install a list of packages in a pkg state, it's  important  to  note  that  it  is
          impossible  to  match  an individual package in the list, since all packages are installed as a single
          state.

   Multiple Requisites
       The requisite statement is passed as a list, allowing for the easy  addition  of  more  requisites.  Both
       requisite types can also be separately declared:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd
                - user: httpd
                - group: httpd
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/httpd.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd
            user.present: []
            group.present: []

       In  this example, the httpd service is only going to be started if the package, user, group, and file are
       executed successfully.

   Requisite Documentation
       For detailed information on each of the individual requisites, please look here.

   The Order Option
       Before using the order option, remember that the majority  of  state  ordering  should  be  done  with  a
       requisite-declaration,  and  that  a requisite declaration will override an order option, so a state with
       order option should not require or required by other states.

       The order option is used by adding an order number to a state declaration with the option order:

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - order: 1

       By adding the order option to 1 this ensures that the vim package will be installed in  tandem  with  any
       other state declaration set to the order 1.

       Any  state  declared  without  an  order  option will be executed after all states with order options are
       executed.

       But this construct can only handle ordering  states  from  the  beginning.   Certain  circumstances  will
       present  a  situation  where  it is desirable to send a state to the end of the line. To do this, set the
       order to last:

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - order: last

   Running States in Parallel
       Introduced in Salt version 2017.7.0 it is now  possible  to  run  select  states  in  parallel.  This  is
       accomplished very easily by adding the parallel: True option to your state declaration:

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - parallel: True

       Now  nginx  will  be started in a separate process from the normal state run and will therefore not block
       additional states.

   Parallel States and Requisites
       Parallel States still honor requisites. If a given state requires another state  that  has  been  run  in
       parallel then the state runtime will wait for the required state to finish.

       Given this example:

          sleep 10:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - parallel: True
              - require:
                - cmd: sleep 10

          sleep 5:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

       The sleep 10 will be started first, then the state system will block on starting nginx until the sleep 10
       completes. Once nginx has been ensured to be running then the sleep 5 will start.

       This  means  that the order of evaluation of Salt States and requisites are still honored, and given that
       in the above case, parallel: True does not actually speed things up.

       To run the above state much faster make sure that the sleep 5 is evaluated before the nginx state

          sleep 10:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

          sleep 5:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - parallel: True
              - require:
                - cmd: sleep 10

       Now both of the sleep calls will be started in parallel and nginx  will  still  wait  for  the  state  it
       requires, but while it waits the sleep 5 state will also complete.

   Things to be Careful of
       Parallel  States  do  not prevent you from creating parallel conflicts on your system. This means that if
       you start multiple package installs using Salt then the package  manager  will  block  or  fail.  If  you
       attempt  to  manage  the  same  file  with  multiple  states  in  parallel then the result can produce an
       unexpected file.

       Make sure that the states you choose to run in parallel do not conflict, or else, like  in  any  parallel
       programming environment, the outcome may not be what you expect. Doing things like just making all states
       run in parallel will almost certainly result in unexpected behavior.

       With  that  said,  running  states  in parallel should be safe the vast majority of the time and the most
       likely culprit for unexpected behavior is running multiple package installs in parallel.

   State Providers
       New in version 0.9.8.

       Salt predetermines what modules should be mapped to what uses based on the properties of a system.  These
       determinations are generally made for modules that provide things like package and service management.

       Sometimes  in  states,  it  may  be  necessary  to  use  an  alternative  module  to  provide  the needed
       functionality. For instance, an very old Arch Linux system may not be  running  systemd,  so  instead  of
       using the systemd service module, you can revert to the default service module:

          httpd:
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - provider: service

       In  this  instance,  the  basic  service  module (which manages sysvinit-based services) will replace the
       systemd module which is used by default on Arch Linux.

       This change only affects this one state though. If it is necessary to make  this  override  for  most  or
       every service, it is better to just override the provider in the minion config file, as described here.

       Also,  keep  in  mind  that  this  only  works  for states with an identically-named virtual module (pkg,
       service, etc.).

   Arbitrary Module Redirects
       The provider statement can also be used for more powerful means, instead of overwriting or extending  the
       module used for the named service an arbitrary module can be used to provide certain functionality.

          emacs:
            pkg.installed:
              - provider:
                - cmd: customcmd

       In this example, the state is being instructed to use a custom module to invoke commands.

       Arbitrary module redirects can be used to dramatically change the behavior of a given state.

   Requisites and Other Global State Arguments
   Requisites
       The  Salt  requisite  system  is  used  to create relationships between states. This provides a method to
       easily define inter-dependencies between states.  These  dependencies  are  expressed  by  declaring  the
       relationships  using  state  names and IDs or names. The generalized form of a requisite target is <state
       name>: <ID or name>. The specific form is defined as a Requisite Reference.

       A common use-case for requisites is ensuring a package has been installed before  trying  to  ensure  the
       service  is running. In the following example, Salt will ensure nginx has been installed before trying to
       manage the service. If the package could not be installed, Salt will not try to manage the service.

          nginx:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nginx-light
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx

       Without the requisite defined, salt would attempt to install the package and then attempt to  manage  the
       service even if the installation failed.

       These  requisites  always  form  dependencies  in  a predictable single direction.  Each requisite has an
       alternate <requisite>_in form that can be used to establish a "reverse" dependency--useful in for loops.

       In the end, a single dependency map is created and everything is executed in  a  finite  and  predictable
       order.

   Requisite matching
       Requisites typically need two pieces of information for matching:

       • The state module name (e.g. pkg or service)

       • The state identifier (e.g. nginx or /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)

          nginx:
            pkg.installed: []
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx
                - file: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

   Glob matching in requisites
       New in version 0.9.8.

       Glob matching is supported in requisites. This is mostly useful for file changes. In the example below, a
       change  in  /etc/apache2/httpd.conf  or /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf will reload/restart the
       service:

          apache2:
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/apache2/*

   Omitting state module in requisites
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       In version 2016.3.0, the state module name was made optional. If the state module is omitted, all  states
       matching the ID will be required, regardless of which module they are using.

          - require:
            - vim

   State target matching
       In  order  to  understand  how state targets are matched, it is helpful to know how the state compiler is
       working. Consider the following example:

          Deploy server package:
            file.managed:
              - name: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
              - source: salt://myapp.tar.xz

          Extract server package:
            archive.extracted:
              - name: /usr/local/share/myapp
              - source: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
              - archive_format: tar
              - onchanges:
                - file: Deploy server package

       The first formula is converted to a  dictionary  which  looks  as  follows  (represented  as  YAML,  some
       properties omitted for simplicity) as High Data:

          Deploy server package:
            file:
              - managed
              - name: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
              - source: salt://myapp.tar.xz

       The  file.managed  format  used  in the formula is essentially syntactic sugar: at the end, the target is
       file, which is used in the Extract server package state above.

   Identifier matching
       Requisites match on both the ID Declaration and the name parameter.  This  means  that,  in  the  "Deploy
       server  package"  example  above,  a  require  requisite  would  match  with  Deploy  server  package  or
       /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz, so either of the  following  versions  for  "Extract  server  package"  is
       correct:

          # (Archive arguments omitted for simplicity)

          # Match by ID declaration
          Extract server package:
            archive.extracted:
              - onchanges:
                - file: Deploy server package

          # Match by name parameter
          Extract server package:
            archive.extracted:
              - onchanges:
                - file: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz

   Omitting state module in requisites
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       In  version 2016.3.0, the state module name was made optional. If the state module is omitted, all states
       matching the ID will be required, regardless of which module they are using.

          - require:
            - vim

   Requisites Types
       All requisite types have a corresponding <requisite>_in form:

       • require: Requires that a list of target states succeed before execution

       • onchanges: Execute if any target states succeed with changes

       • watch: Similar to onchanges; modifies state behavior using mod_watchlisten: Similar to onchanges; delays execution to end of state run using mod_waitprereq: Execute prior to target state if target state expects to produce changes

       • onfail: Execute only if a target state fails

       • use: Copy arguments from another state

       Several requisite types have a corresponding requisite_any form:

       • require_anywatch_anyonchanges_anyonfail_any

       Lastly, onfail has one special onfail_all form to account for when AND logic is desired  instead  of  the
       default OR logic of onfail/onfail_any (which are equivalent).

       All requisites define specific relationships and always work with the dependency logic defined above.

   require
       The  use  of  require  builds a dependency that prevents a state from executing until all required states
       execute successfully. If any required state fails, then the state will fail due to requisites.

       In the following example, the service state will not be checked unless both file states  execute  without
       failure.

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - require:
                - file: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
                - file: /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf

   Require SLS File
       As  of Salt 0.16.0, it is possible to require an entire sls file. Do this by first including the sls file
       and then setting a state to require the included sls file:

          include:
            - foo

          bar:
            pkg.installed:
              - require:
                - sls: foo

       This will add a require to all of the state declarations found in the given sls file. This means that bar
       will require every state within foo.  This makes it very easy to batch large groups of states  easily  in
       any requisite statement.

   onchanges
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The  onchanges  requisite  makes  a  state only apply if the required states generate changes, and if the
       watched state's "result" is True (does not fail).  This can be a useful way to execute a post hook  after
       changing aspects of a system.

       If  a  state  has  multiple onchanges requisites then the state will trigger if any of the watched states
       changes.

          myservice:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
              - source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
            cmd.run:
              - name: /usr/local/sbin/run-build
              - onchanges:
                - file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf

       In the example above, cmd.run will run only if there are changes in the file.managed state.

       An easy mistake to make is using onchanges_in when onchanges is the correct choice, as seen in this  next
       example.

          myservice:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
              - source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
            cmd.run:
              - name: /usr/local/sbin/run-build
              - onchanges_in:  # <-- broken logic
                - file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf

       This  will  set  up  a  requisite  relationship  in  which  the  cmd.run  state  always executes, and the
       file.managed state only executes if the cmd.run state has  changes  (which  it  always  will,  since  the
       cmd.run state includes the command results as changes).

       It may semantically seem like the cmd.run state should only run when there are changes in the file state,
       but  remember  that  requisite relationships involve one state watching another state, and a requisite_in
       does the opposite: it forces the specified state to watch the state with the requisite_in.

       NOTE:
          An onchanges requisite has no effect on SLS requisites (monitoring for changes in  an  included  SLS).
          Only the individual state IDs from an included SLS can be monitored.

   watch
       A watch requisite is used to add additional behavior when there are changes in other states. This is done
       using  the  mod_watch  function  available  from the execution module and will execute any time a watched
       state changes.

       NOTE:
          If a state should only execute when another state has changes, and otherwise do nothing, the onchanges
          requisite should be used instead of watch. watch is designed to add additional behavior when there are
          changes, but otherwise the state executes normally.

       NOTE:
          A watch requisite has no effect on SLS requisites (watching for changes in an included SLS). Only  the
          individual state IDs from an included SLS can be watched.

       A  good  example of using watch is with a service.running state. When a service watches a state, then the
       service is reloaded/restarted when the watched state changes, in  addition  to  Salt  ensuring  that  the
       service is running.

          ntpd:
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/ntp.conf
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/ntp.conf
              - source: salt://ntp/files/ntp.conf

       Another  useful example of watch is using salt to ensure a configuration file is present and in a correct
       state, ensure the service is running, and trigger service nginx reload instead of service  nginx  restart
       in order to avoid dropping any connections.

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - reload: True
              - watch:
                - file: nginx
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/nginx/conf.d/tls-settings.conf
              - source: salt://nginx/files/tls-settings.conf

       NOTE:
          Not  all  state  modules contain mod_watch. If mod_watch is absent from the watching state module, the
          watch requisite behaves exactly like a require requisite.

       The state containing the watch requisite is defined as the watching state. The  state  specified  in  the
       watch  statement  is  defined  as  the  watched  state. When the watched state executes, it will return a
       dictionary containing a key named "changes". Here are two examples of state return dictionaries, shown in
       json for clarity:

          {
              "local": {
                  "file_|-/tmp/foo_|-/tmp/foo_|-directory": {
                      "comment": "Directory /tmp/foo updated",
                      "__run_num__": 0,
                      "changes": {
                          "user": "bar"
                      },
                      "name": "/tmp/foo",
                      "result": true
                  }
              }
          }

          {
              "local": {
                  "pkgrepo_|-salt-minion_|-salt-minion_|-managed": {
                      "comment": "Package repo 'salt-minion' already configured",
                      "__run_num__": 0,
                      "changes": {},
                      "name": "salt-minion",
                      "result": true
                  }
              }
          }

       If the "result" of the watched state is True, the watching state will execute  normally,  and  if  it  is
       False,  the  watching  state will never run.  This part of watch mirrors the functionality of the require
       requisite.

       If the "result" of the watched state is True and  the  "changes"  key  contains  a  populated  dictionary
       (changes  occurred  in  the  watched  state),  then the watch requisite can add additional behavior. This
       additional behavior is defined by the mod_watch  function  within  the  watching  state  module.  If  the
       mod_watch  function  exists  in  the  watching  state module, it will be called in addition to the normal
       watching state. The return data from the mod_watch function is what will be returned  to  the  master  in
       this case; the return data from the main watching function is discarded.

       If  the  "changes"  key  contains  an empty dictionary, the watch requisite acts exactly like the require
       requisite (the watching state will execute if "result" is True, and fail if  "result"  is  False  in  the
       watched state).

       NOTE:
          If  the watching state changes key contains values, then mod_watch will not be called. If you're using
          watch or watch_in then it's a good idea to have a state that only enforces one  attribute  -  such  as
          splitting out service.running into its own state and have service.enabled in another.

       One  common source of confusion is expecting mod_watch to be called for every necessary change. You might
       be tempted to write something like this:

          httpd:
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - file: httpd-config

          httpd-config:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/files/apache.conf

       If your service is already running but not enabled, you might expect that Salt will be able to tell  that
       since  the  config  file  changed  your  service needs to be restarted. This is not the case. Because the
       service needs to be enabled, that change will be made and mod_watch will  never  be  triggered.  In  this
       case,  changes to your apache.conf will fail to be loaded. If you want to ensure that your service always
       reloads the correct way to handle this is either ensure that your service is not running before  applying
       your state, or simply make sure that service.running is in a state on its own:

          enable-httpd:
            service.enabled:
              - name: httpd

          start-httpd:
            service.running:
              - name: httpd
              - watch:
                - file: httpd-config

          httpd-config:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/files/apache.conf

       Now  that  service.running  is its own state, changes to service.enabled will no longer prevent mod_watch
       from getting triggered, so your httpd service will get restarted like you want.

   listen
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       A listen requisite is used to trigger the mod_wait function of an execution module. Rather than modifying
       execution order, the mod_wait state created by listen will execute at the end of the state run.

          restart-apache2:
            service.running:
              - name: apache2
              - listen:
                - file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

          configure-apache2:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
              - source: salt://apache2/apache2.conf

       This example will cause apache2 to restart when the apache2.conf file is changed, but the apache2 restart
       will happen at the end of the state run.

          restart-apache2:
            service.running:
              - name: apache2

          configure-apache2:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
              - source: salt://apache2/apache2.conf
              - listen_in:
                - service: apache2

       This example does the same as the above example, but puts the state argument on the file resource, rather
       than the service resource.

   prereq
       New in version 0.16.0.

       The prereq requisite works similar to onchanges except that it uses the  result  from  test=True  on  the
       observed state to determine if it should run prior to the observed state being run.

       The  best  way  to  define  how  prereq  operates is displayed in the following practical example: When a
       service should be shut down because underlying code is going to change, the service  should  be  off-line
       while  the  update occurs. In this example, graceful-down is the pre-requiring state and site-code is the
       pre-required state.

          graceful-down:
            cmd.run:
              - name: service apache graceful
              - prereq:
                - file: site-code

          site-code:
            file.recurse:
              - name: /opt/site_code
              - source: salt://site/code

       In this case, the apache server will only be shut down if the site-code state  expects  to  deploy  fresh
       code  via  the file.recurse call. The site-code deployment will only be executed if the graceful-down run
       completes successfully.

       When a prereq requisite is evaluated, the pre-required state reports if it expects to have  any  changes.
       It  does this by running the pre-required single state as a test-run by enabling test=True. This test-run
       will return a dictionary containing a key named "changes". (See the watch section above for  examples  of
       "changes" dictionaries.)

       If  the  "changes"  key  contains  a  populated  dictionary, it means that the pre-required state expects
       changes to occur when the state is actually executed, as opposed to the test-run. The pre-requiring state
       will now run. If the pre-requiring state executes successfully, the pre-required state will then execute.
       If the pre-requiring state fails, the pre-required state will not execute.

       If the "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, this means  that  changes  are  not  expected  by  the
       pre-required state. Neither the pre-required state nor the pre-requiring state will run.

   onfail
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The  onfail  requisite  allows  for  reactions to happen strictly as a response to the failure of another
       state. This can be used in a number of ways, such as sending a notification or  attempting  an  alternate
       task or thread of tasks when an important state fails.

       The onfail requisite is applied in the same way as require and watch:

          primary_mount:
            mount.mounted:
              - name: /mnt/share
              - device: 10.0.0.45:/share
              - fstype: nfs

          backup_mount:
            mount.mounted:
              - name: /mnt/share
              - device: 192.168.40.34:/share
              - fstype: nfs
              - onfail:
                - mount: primary_mount

          build_site:
            cmd.run:
              - name: /srv/web/app/build_site

          notify-build_failure:
            hipchat.send_message:
              - room_id: 123456
              - message: "Building website fail on {{ salt.grains.get('id') }}"

       The  default  behavior  of  the  onfail  when  multiple  requisites  are  listed is the opposite of other
       requisites in the salt state engine, it acts by default like any() instead of all(). This means that when
       you list multiple onfail requisites on a state, if any fail the requisite  will  be  satisfied.   If  you
       instead need all logic to be applied, you can use onfail_all form:

          test_site_a:
            cmd.run:
              - name: ping -c1 10.0.0.1

          test_site_b:
            cmd.run:
              - name: ping -c1 10.0.0.2

          notify_site_down:
            hipchat.send_message:
              - room_id: 123456
              - message: "Both primary and backup sites are down!"
            - onfail_all:
              - cmd: test_site_a
              - cmd: test_site_b

       In  this  contrived  example notify_site_down will run when both 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 fail to respond to
       ping.

       NOTE:
          Setting failhard (globally or in  the  failing  state)  to  True  will  cause  onfail,  onfail_in  and
          onfail_any  requisites  to  be  ignored.   If  you  want to combine a global failhard set to True with
          onfail, onfail_in or onfail_any, you will have to explicitly set failhard  to  False  (overriding  the
          global setting) in the state that could fail.

       NOTE:
          Beginning  in  the  2016.11.0  release  of  Salt,  onfail  uses  OR  logic  for multiple listed onfail
          requisites. Prior to the 2016.11.0  release,  onfail  used  AND  logic.  See  Issue  #22370  for  more
          information.   Beginning  in the Neon release of Salt, a new onfail_all requisite form is available if
          AND logic is desired.

   use
       The use requisite is used to inherit the arguments passed in another id declaration. This is useful  when
       many files need to have the same defaults.

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf
              - template: jinja
              - mkdirs: True
              - user: apache
              - group: apache
              - mode: 755

          /etc/bar.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://bar.conf
              - use:
                - file: /etc/foo.conf

       The  use  statement  was  developed  primarily for the networking states but can be used on any states in
       Salt. This makes sense for the networking state because it can define a long list of options that need to
       be applied to multiple network interfaces.

       The use statement does not inherit the requisites arguments of the targeted  state.  This  means  also  a
       chain of use requisites would not inherit inherited options.

   The _in version of requisites
       Direct  requisites  form  a  dependency  in a single direction. This makes it possible for Salt to detect
       cyclical dependencies and helps prevent faulty logic. In some cases, often in loops, it is  desirable  to
       establish a dependency in the opposite direction.

       All  direct  requisites  have  an  _in  counterpart that behaves the same but forms the dependency in the
       opposite direction. The following sls examples will produce the exact same dependency mapping.

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd

          httpd:
            pkg.installed:
              - require_in:
                - service: httpd
            service.running: []

       In the following example, Salt will not try to manage the nginx service or any configuration files unless
       the nginx package is installed because of the pkg: nginx requisite.

          nginx:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - reload: True
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx

       php.sls

          include:
            - http

          php:
            pkg.installed:
              - require_in:
                - service: httpd

       mod_python.sls

          include:
            - http

          mod_python:
            pkg.installed:
              - require_in:
                - service: httpd

       Now the httpd server will only start if both php and mod_python are first verified to be installed.  Thus
       allowing for a requisite to be defined "after the fact".

          {% for cfile in salt.pillar.get('nginx:config_files') %}
          /etc/nginx/conf.d/{{ cfile }}:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://nginx/configs/{{ cfile }}
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx
              - listen_in:
                - service: nginx
          {% endfor %}

       In  this scenario, listen_in is a better choice than require_in because the listen requisite will trigger
       mod_wait behavior which will wait until the end of state execution and then reload the service.

   The _any version of requisites
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Some requisites have an _any counterpart that changes the requisite behavior from all() to any().

          A:
            cmd.run:
              - name: echo A
              - require_any:
                - cmd: B
                - cmd: C

          B:
            cmd.run:
              - name: echo B

          C:
            cmd.run:
              - name: /bin/false

       In this example A will run because at least one of the requirements specified, B or C, will succeed.

          myservice:
            pkg.installed

          /etc/myservice/myservice.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf

          /etc/yourservice/yourservice.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://yourservice/files/yourservice.conf

          /usr/local/sbin/myservice/post-changes-hook.sh
            cmd.run:
              - onchanges_any:
                - file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
                - file: /etc/your_service/yourservice.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: myservice

       In this example, cmd.run would be run only if either of the file.managed states generated changes and  at
       least one of the watched state's "result" is True.

   Altering States
       The  state altering system is used to make sure that states are evaluated exactly as the user expects. It
       can be used to double check that a state preformed exactly how it was expected to, or to make  100%  sure
       that  a  state  only  runs under certain conditions. The use of unless or onlyif options help make states
       even more stateful. The check_cmd option helps ensure that the result of a state is evaluated correctly.

   reload
       reload_modules is a boolean option that forces salt  to  reload  its  modules  after  a  state  finishes.
       reload_pillar and reload_grains can also be set.  See Reloading Modules.

          grains_refresh:
            module.run:
             - name: saltutil.refresh_grains
             - reload_grains: true

          grains_read:
            module.run:
             - name: grains.items

   unless
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The  unless  requisite  specifies  that a state should only run when any of the specified commands return
       False. The unless requisite operates as NAND and is useful in giving more granular control  over  when  a
       state should execute.

       NOTE:  Under the hood unless calls cmd.retcode with python_shell=True. This means the commands referenced
       by unless will be parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this shell will be run  with  the  same
       privileges  as the salt-minion. Also be aware that the boolean value is determined by the shell's concept
       of True and False, rather than Python's concept of True and False.

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - unless:
                - rpm -q vim-enhanced
                - ls /usr/bin/vim

       In the example above, the state will only run  if  either  the  vim-enhanced  package  is  not  installed
       (returns  False)  or  if /usr/bin/vim does not exist (returns False). The state will run if both commands
       return False.

       However, the state will not run if both commands return True.

       Unless checks are resolved for each name to which they are associated.

       For example:

          deploy_app:
            cmd.run:
              - names:
                - first_deploy_cmd
                - second_deploy_cmd
              - unless: some_check

       In the above case, some_check will be run prior to _each_ name -- once for first_deploy_cmd and a  second
       time for second_deploy_cmd.

       Changed  in  version  3000:  The unless requisite can take a module as a dictionary field in unless.  The
       dictionary must contain an argument fun which is the module that is being run, and everything  else  must
       be passed in under the args key or will be passed as individual kwargs to the module function.

          install apache on debian based distros:
            cmd.run:
              - name: make install
              - cwd: /path/to/dir/whatever-2.1.5/
              - unless:
                - fun: file.file_exists
                  path: /usr/local/bin/whatever

          set mysql root password:
            debconf.set:
              - name: mysql-server-5.7
              - data:
                  'mysql-server/root_password': {'type': 'password', 'value': {{pillar['mysql.pass']}} }
              - unless:
                - fun: pkg.version
                  args:
                    - mysql-server-5.7

       Changed  in  version  sodium: For modules which return a deeper data structure, the get_return key can be
       used to access results.

          test:
            test.nop:
              - name: foo
              - unless:
                - fun: consul.get
                  consul_url: http://127.0.0.1:8500
                  key:  not-existing
                  get_return: res

   onlyif
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The onlyif requisite specifies that if each command listed in onlyif returns True, then the state is run.
       If any of the specified commands return False, the state will not run.

       NOTE: Under the hood onlyif calls cmd.retcode with python_shell=True. This means the commands  referenced
       by  onlyif  will  be parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this shell will be run with the same
       privileges as the salt-minion. Also be aware that the boolean value is determined by the shell's  concept
       of True and False, rather than Python's concept of True and False.

          stop-volume:
            module.run:
              - name: glusterfs.stop_volume
              - m_name: work
              - onlyif:
                - gluster volume status work
              - order: 1

          remove-volume:
            module.run:
              - name: glusterfs.delete
              - m_name: work
              - onlyif:
                - gluster volume info work
              - watch:
                - cmd: stop-volume

       The above example ensures that the stop_volume and delete modules only run if the gluster commands return
       a 0 ret value.

       Changed  in  version  3000:  The onlyif requisite can take a module as a dictionary field in onlyif.  The
       dictionary must contain an argument fun which is the module that is being run, and everything  else  must
       be passed in under the args key or will be passed as individual kwargs to the module function.

   Creates
       New in version 3001.

       The creates requisite specifies that a state should only run when any  of  the  specified  files  do  not
       already  exist.  Like  unless,  creates  requisite operates as NAND and is useful in giving more granular
       control over when a state should execute. This was  previously  used  by  the  cmd  and  docker_container
       states.

              contrived creates example:
                file.touch:
                  - name: /path/to/file
                  - creates: /path/to/file

       creates also accepts a list of files, in which case this state will run if any of the files do not exist:

              creates list:
                file.cmd:
                  - name: /path/to/command
                  - creates:
                      - /path/file
                      - /path/file2

   runas
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       The  runas  global  option  is  used to set the user which will be used to run the command in the cmd.run
       module.

              - runas: daniel
              - require:
                - pkg: python-pip

       In the above state, the pip command run by cmd.run will be run by the daniel user.

   runas_password
       New in version 2017.7.2.

       The runas_password global option is used to set the password used by the runas  global  option.  This  is
       required  by cmd.run on Windows when runas is specified. It will be set when runas_password is defined in
       the state.

          run_script:
            cmd.run:
              - name: Powershell -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\\Temp\\script.ps1
              - runas: frank
              - runas_password: supersecret

       In the above state, the Powershell script run by cmd.run will be run by the frank user with the  password
       supersecret.

   check_cmd
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Check Command is used for determining that a state did or did not run as expected.

       NOTE:  Under  the  hood  check_cmd  calls  cmd.retcode  with  python_shell=True.  This means the commands
       referenced by unless will be parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this shell will be run  with
       the same privileges as the salt-minion.

          comment-repo:
            file.replace:
              - name: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
              - pattern: '^enabled=0'
              - repl: enabled=1
              - check_cmd:
                - "! grep 'enabled=0' /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo"

       This  will  attempt  to do a replace on all enabled=0 in the .repo file, and replace them with enabled=1.
       The check_cmd is just a bash command. It will do a grep for enabled=0 in the file, and if it  finds  any,
       it  will  return  a  0,  which  will  be inverted by the leading !, causing check_cmd to set the state as
       failed. If it returns a 1, meaning it didn't find any enabled=0, it will be inverted by  the  leading  !,
       returning a 0, and declaring the function succeeded.

       NOTE: This requisite check_cmd functions differently than the check_cmd of the file.managed state.

   Overriding Checks
       There are two commands used for the above checks.

       mod_run_check  is  used  to  check for onlyif and unless. If the goal is to override the global check for
       these to variables, include a mod_run_check in the salt/states/ file.

       mod_run_check_cmd is used  to  check  for  the  check_cmd  options.  To  override  this  one,  include  a
       mod_run_check_cmd in the states file for the state.

   Fire Event Notifications
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       The  fire_event  option  in  a  state  will  cause  the  minion  to send an event to the Salt Master upon
       completion of that individual state.

       The following example will cause the minion  to  send  an  event  to  the  Salt  Master  with  a  tag  of
       salt/state_result/20150505121517276431/dasalt/nano  and the result of the state will be the data field of
       the event. Notice that the name of the state gets added to the tag.

          nano_stuff:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - fire_event: True

       In the following example instead of setting fire_event to True, fire_event is set to an arbitrary string,
       which      will      cause      the      event      to      be      sent       with       this       tag:
       salt/state_result/20150505121725642845/dasalt/custom/tag/nano/finished

          nano_stuff:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - fire_event: custom/tag/nano/finished

   Retrying States
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       The retry option in a state allows it to be executed multiple times until a desired result is obtained or
       the maximum number of attempts have been made.

       The retry option can be configured by the attempts, until, interval, and splay parameters.

       The  attempts  parameter controls the maximum number of times the state will be run.  If not specified or
       if an invalid value is specified, attempts will default to 2.

       The until parameter defines the result that is required to stop retrying the state.  If not specified  or
       if an invalid value is specified, until will default to True

       The  interval  parameter  defines  the  amount  of  time,  in  seconds, that the system will wait between
       attempts.  If not specified or if an invalid value is specified, interval will default to 30.

       The splay parameter allows the interval to be additionally spread out.  If not specified or if an invalid
       value is specified, splay defaults to 0 (i.e. no splaying will occur).

       The following example will run the pkg.installed state until it returns True or it has been run 5  times.
       Each attempt will be 60 seconds apart and the interval will be splayed up to an additional 10 seconds:

          my_retried_state:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - retry:
                  attempts: 5
                  until: True
                  interval: 60
                  splay: 10

       The  following  example will run the pkg.installed state with all the defaults for retry.  The state will
       run up to 2 times, each attempt being 30 seconds apart, or until it returns True.

          install_nano:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - retry: True

       The following example will run the file.exists state every 30 seconds up to 15 times or  until  the  file
       exists (i.e. the state returns True).

          wait_for_file:
            file.exists:
              - name: /path/to/file
              - retry:
                  attempts: 15
                  interval: 30

   Return data from a retried state
       When a state is retried, the returned output is as follows:

       The  result  return value is the result from the final run.  For example, imagine a state set to retry up
       to three times or until True.  If the state returns False on the first run and then True on  the  second,
       the result of the state will be True.

       The started return value is the started from the first run.

       The duration return value is the total duration of all attempts plus the retry intervals.

       The comment return value will include the result and comment from all previous attempts.

       For example:

          wait_for_file:
            file.exists:
              - name: /path/to/file
              - retry:
                  attempts: 10
                  interval: 2
                  splay: 5

       Would  return  similar  to  the following.  The state result in this case is False (file.exist was run 10
       times with a 2 second interval, but the file specified did not exist on any run).

                ID: wait_for_file
          Function: file.exists
            Result: False
           Comment: Attempt 1: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 2: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 3: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 4: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 5: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 6: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 7: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 8: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 9: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"

           Changes:

   Startup States
       Sometimes it may be desired that the salt minion execute a state run when it is started. This  alleviates
       the need for the master to initiate a state run on a new minion and can make provisioning much easier.

       As  of  Salt  0.10.3 the minion config reads options that allow for states to be executed at startup. The
       options are startup_states, sls_list, and top_file.

       The startup_states option can be passed one of a number of arguments to define how to execute states. The
       available options are:

       highstate
              Execute state.apply

       sls    Read in the sls_list option and execute the named sls files

       top    Read in the top_file option and execute states based on that top file on the Salt Master

   Examples:
       Execute state.apply to run the highstate when starting the minion:

          startup_states: highstate

       Execute the sls files edit.vim and hyper:

          startup_states: sls

          sls_list:
            - edit.vim
            - hyper

   State Testing
       Executing a Salt state run can potentially change many aspects of a system and it  may  be  desirable  to
       first see what a state run is going to change before applying the run.

       Salt has a test interface to report on exactly what will be changed, this interface can be invoked on any
       of the major state run functions:

          salt '*' state.apply test=True
          salt '*' state.apply mysls test=True
          salt '*' state.single test=True

       The  test  run is mandated by adding the test=True option to the states. The return information will show
       states that will be applied in yellow and the result is reported as None.

   Default Test
       If the value test is set to True in the minion configuration file  then  states  will  default  to  being
       executed in test mode. If this value is set then states can still be run by calling test=False:

          salt '*' state.apply test=False
          salt '*' state.apply mysls test=False
          salt '*' state.single test=False

   The Top File
   Introduction
       Most  infrastructures  are  made  up  of  groups of machines, each machine in the group performing a role
       similar to others. Those groups of machines work in concert with each  other  to  create  an  application
       stack.

       To  effectively  manage  those  groups of machines, an administrator needs to be able to create roles for
       those groups. For example, a group of machines that serve front-end web traffic might  have  roles  which
       indicate  that  those machines should all have the Apache webserver package installed and that the Apache
       service should always be running.

       In Salt, the file which contains a mapping between groups of machines on a network and the  configuration
       roles that should be applied to them is called a top file.

       Top  files are named top.sls by default and they are so-named because they always exist in the "top" of a
       directory hierarchy that contains state files.  That directory hierarchy is called a state tree.

   A Basic Example
       Top files have three components:

       • Environment: A state tree directory containing a set of state files to configure systems.

       • Target: A grouping of machines which will have a set of states applied to them.

       • State files: A list of state files to apply to a target. Each state file describes one or  more  states
         to be configured and enforced on the targeted machines.

       The relationship between these three components is nested as follows:

       • Environments contain targets

       • Targets contain states

       Putting  these  concepts together, we can describe a scenario in which all minions with an ID that begins
       with web have an apache state applied to them:

          base:          # Apply SLS files from the directory root for the 'base' environment
            'web*':      # All minions with a minion_id that begins with 'web'
              - apache   # Apply the state file named 'apache.sls'

   Environments
       Environments are directory hierarchies which contain a top file and a set of state files.

       Environments can be used in many ways, however there is no requirement that they be used at all. In fact,
       the most common way to deploy Salt is with a single environment, called  base.  It  is  recommended  that
       users  only  create  multiple  environments if they have a use case which specifically calls for multiple
       versions of state trees.

   Getting Started with Top Files
       Each environment is defined inside a salt master configuration variable called, file_roots .

       In the most common single-environment setup, only the base environment is  defined  in  file_roots  along
       with only one directory path for the state tree.

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       In the above example, the top file will only have a single environment to pull from.

       Next  is  a  simple  single-environment  top  file placed in /srv/salt/top.sls, illustrating that for the
       environment called base, all minions will have the state files named core.sls  and  edit.sls  applied  to
       them.

          base:
            '*':
              - core
              - edit

       Assuming  the file_roots configuration from above, Salt will look in the /srv/salt directory for core.sls
       and edit.sls.

   Multiple Environments
       In some cases, teams may  wish  to  create  versioned  state  trees  which  can  be  used  to  test  Salt
       configurations  in  isolated  sets  of systems such as a staging environment before deploying states into
       production.

       For this case, multiple environments can be used to accomplish this task.

       To create multiple environments, the file_roots option can be expanded:

          file_roots:
            dev:
              - /srv/salt/dev
            qa:
              - /srv/salt/qa
            prod:
              - /srv/salt/prod

       In the above, we declare three environments: dev, qa and prod.  Each environment has a  single  directory
       assigned to it.

       Our top file references the environments:

          dev:
            'webserver*':
              - webserver
            'db*':
              - db
          qa:
            'webserver*':
              - webserver
            'db*':
              - db
          prod:
            'webserver*':
              - webserver
            'db*':
              - db

       As  seen  above,  the  top  file now declares the three environments and for each, target expressions are
       defined to map minions to state files. For example, all minions which  have  an  ID  beginning  with  the
       string webserver will have the webserver state from the requested environment assigned to it.

       In  this  manner,  a  proposed change to a state could first be made in a state file in /srv/salt/dev and
       then be applied to development webservers before moving the state into QA by copying the state file  into
       /srv/salt/qa.

   Choosing an Environment to Target
       The  top  file is used to assign a minion to an environment unless overridden using the methods described
       below. The environment in the top file must match valid fileserver environment (a.k.a. saltenv) in  order
       for  any states to be applied to that minion. When using the default fileserver backend, environments are
       defined in file_roots.

       The states that will be applied to a minion in a given environment can be viewed using the state.show_top
       function.

       Minions may be pinned to a particular  environment  by  setting  the  environment  value  in  the  minion
       configuration  file.  In  doing  so, a minion will only request files from the environment to which it is
       assigned.

       The environment may also be dynamically selected at runtime by passing  it  to  the  salt,  salt-call  or
       salt-ssh  command.  This  is  most  commonly done with functions in the state module by using the saltenv
       argument. For example, to run a highstate on all minions, using only the top file and SLS  files  in  the
       prod environment, run: salt '*' state.highstate saltenv=prod.

       NOTE:
          Not  all  functions  accept  saltenv  as an argument, see the documentation for an individual function
          documentation to verify.

   Shorthand
       If you assign only one SLS to a system, as in this example, a shorthand is also available:

          base:
            '*': global
          dev:
            'webserver*': webserver
            'db*':        db
          qa:
            'webserver*': webserver
            'db*':        db
          prod:
            'webserver*': webserver
            'db*':        db

   Advanced Minion Targeting
       In the examples above, notice that all of the target expressions are globs. The default match type in top
       files (since version 2014.7.0) is actually the compound matcher, not the glob matcher as in the CLI.

       A single glob, when passed through the compound matcher, acts the same way as matching  by  glob,  so  in
       most  cases  the  two are indistinguishable. However, there is an edge case in which a minion ID contains
       whitespace. While it is not recommended to include spaces in a minion ID, Salt will  not  stop  you  from
       doing  so. However, since compound expressions are parsed word-by-word, if a minion ID contains spaces it
       will fail to match. In this edge case, it will be necessary to explicitly use the glob matcher:

          base:
            'minion 1':
              - match: glob
              - foo

       The available match types which can be set for a target expression in the top file are:

RETURN CODES

       When the salt or salt-call CLI commands result in an error, the command will exit with a return  code  of
       1. Error cases consist of the following:

       1. Errors are encountered while running States, or any state returns a False result

       2. Any exception is raised

       3. In  the  case  of  remote-execution  functions, when the return data is a Python dictionary with a key
          named either result or success, which has a value of False

   Retcode Passthrough
       In addition to the cases listed above, if a state or remote-execution function sets a  nonzero  value  in
       the  retcode  key of the __context__ dictionary, the command will exit with a return code of 1. For those
       developing custom states and execution modules, using __context__['retcode']  can  be  a  useful  way  of
       signaling that an error has occurred:

          if something_went_wrong:
              __context__["retcode"] = 42

       This is actually how states signal that they have failed. Different cases result in different codes being
       set in the __context__ dictionary:

       • 1 is set when any error is encountered in the state compiler (missing SLS file, etc.)

       • 2 is set when any state returns a False result

       • 5 is set when Pillar data fails to be compiled before running the state(s)

       When  the  --retcode-passthrough  flag  is  used  with salt-call, then salt-call will exit with whichever
       retcode was set in the __context__ dictionary, rather than the default behavior which simply exits with 1
       for any error condition.

UTILITY MODULES - CODE REUSE IN CUSTOM MODULES

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0: These can now be synced to the Master for use in  custom  Runners,  and  in
       custom execution modules called within Pillar SLS files.

       When extending Salt by writing custom (state modules), execution modules, etc., sometimes there is a need
       for  a  function  to  be  available  to  more  than just one kind of custom module. For these cases, Salt
       supports what are called "utility modules". These modules are like normal execution modules, but  instead
       of being invoked in Salt code using __salt__, the __utils__ prefix is used instead.

       For example, assuming the following simple utility module, saved to salt://_utils/foo.py

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My utils module
          ---------------

          This module contains common functions for use in my other custom types.
          """

          def bar():
              return "baz"

       Once synced to a minion, this function would be available to other custom Salt types like so:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My awesome execution module
          ---------------------------
          """

          def observe_the_awesomeness():
              """
              Prints information from my utility module

              CLI Example:

              .. code-block:: bash

                  salt '*' mymodule.observe_the_awesomeness
              """
              return __utils__["foo.bar"]()

       Utility  modules,  like  any  other  kind  of  Salt  extension,  support  using a __virtual__ function to
       conditionally load them, or load them under a different namespace. For instance, if  the  utility  module
       above were named salt://_utils/mymodule.py it could be made to be loaded as the foo utility module with a
       __virtual__ function.

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My utils module
          ---------------

          This module contains common functions for use in my other custom types.
          """

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Load as a different name
              """
              return "foo"

          def bar():
              return "baz"

       New  in  version  2018.3.0: Instantiating objects from classes declared in util modules works with Master
       side modules, such as Runners, Outputters, etc.

       Also you could even write your utility modules in object oriented fashion:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My OOP-style utils module
          -------------------------

          This module contains common functions for use in my other custom types.
          """

          class Foo(object):
              def __init__(self):
                  pass

              def bar(self):
                  return "baz"

       And import them into other custom modules:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My awesome execution module
          ---------------------------
          """

          import mymodule

          def observe_the_awesomeness():
              """
              Prints information from my utility module

              CLI Example:

              .. code-block:: bash

                  salt '*' mymodule.observe_the_awesomeness
              """
              foo = mymodule.Foo()
              return foo.bar()

       These are, of course, contrived examples, but they should serve to show some of the possibilities  opened
       up  by writing utility modules. Keep in mind though that states still have access to all of the execution
       modules, so it is not necessary to write a utility module to make a function available to  both  a  state
       and an execution module. One good use case for utility modules is one where it is necessary to invoke the
       same function from a custom outputter/returner, as well as an execution module.

       Utility  modules  placed in salt://_utils/ will be synced to the minions when a highstate is run, as well
       as when any of the following Salt functions are called:

       • saltutil.sync_utilssaltutil.sync_all

       As of the 2019.2.0 release, as well as 2017.7.7 and 2018.3.2 in their respective release cycles, the sync
       argument to state.apply/state.sls can be used to sync custom types when running individual SLS files.

       To sync to the Master, use either of the following:

       • saltutil.sync_utilssaltutil.sync_all

EVENTS & REACTOR

   Event System
       The Salt Event System is used to fire off events enabling third party applications or external  processes
       to  react  to behavior within Salt.  The event system uses a publish-subscribe pattern, otherwise know as
       pub/sub.

   Event Bus
       The event system is comprised of a two primary components, which make up the concept of an Event Bus:

       • The event sockets, which publish events

       • The event library, which can listen to events and send events into the salt system

       Events are published onto the event bus and event bus subscribers listen for the published events.

       The event bus is used for both  inter-process  communication  as  well  as  network  transport  in  Salt.
       Inter-process communication is provided through UNIX domain sockets (UDX).

       The Salt Master and each Salt Minion has their own event bus.

   Event types
   Salt Master Events
       These events are fired on the Salt Master event bus. This list is not comprehensive.

   Authentication events
       salt/auth
              Fired when a minion performs an authentication check with the master.

              Variablesid -- The minion ID.

                     • act -- The current status of the minion key: accept, pend, reject.

                     • pub -- The minion public key.

              NOTE:
                 Minions  fire auth events on fairly regular basis for a number of reasons.  Writing reactors to
                 respond to events through the auth cycle can lead to infinite reactor event loops (minion tries
                 to auth, reactor responds by doing something that generates another auth  event,  minion  sends
                 auth event, etc.).  Consider reacting to salt/key or salt/minion/<MID>/start or firing a custom
                 event tag instead.

   Start events
       salt/minion/<MID>/start
              Fired every time a minion connects to the Salt master.

              Variables
                     id -- The minion ID.

   Key events
       salt/key
              Fired  when  accepting and rejecting minions keys on the Salt master.  These happen as a result of
              actions undertaken by the salt-key command.

              Variablesid -- The minion ID.

                     • act -- The new status of the minion key: accept, delete,

       WARNING:
          If a master is in auto_accept mode, salt/key events will not be fired when the keys are accepted.   In
          addition, pre-seeding keys (like happens through Salt-Cloud) will not cause firing of these events.

   Job events
       salt/job/<JID>/new
              Fired as a new job is sent out to minions.

              Variablesjid -- The job ID.

                     • tgt -- The target of the job: *, a minion ID, G@os_family:RedHat, etc.

                     • tgt_type -- The type of targeting used: glob, grain, compound, etc.

                     • fun -- The function to run on minions: test.version, network.interfaces, etc.

                     • arg -- A list of arguments to pass to the function that will be called.

                     • minions -- A list of minion IDs that Salt expects will return data for this job.

                     • user  --  The name of the user that ran the command as defined in Salt's Publisher ACL or
                       external auth.

       salt/job/<JID>/ret/<MID>
              Fired each time a minion returns data for a job.

              Variablesid -- The minion ID.

                     • jid -- The job ID.

                     • retcode -- The return code for the job.

                     • fun -- The function the minion ran. E.g., test.version.

                     • return -- The data returned from the execution module.

       salt/job/<JID>/prog/<MID>/<RUN NUM>
              Fired each time a each function in a state run completes execution.  Must  be  enabled  using  the
              state_events option.

              Variablesdata -- The data returned from the state module function.

                     • id -- The minion ID.

                     • jid -- The job ID.

   Runner Events
       salt/run/<JID>/new
              Fired as a runner begins execution

              Variablesjid -- The job ID.

                     • fun   --   The  name  of  the  runner  function,  with  runner.  prepended  to  it  (e.g.
                       runner.jobs.lookup_jid)

                     • fun_args -- The arguments passed to the runner function (e.g.  ['20160829225914848058'])

                     • user -- The user who executed the runner (e.g. root)

       salt/run/<JID>/ret
              Fired when a runner function returns

              Variablesjid -- The job ID.

                     • fun  --  The  name  of  the  runner  function,  with  runner.  prepended  to   it   (e.g.
                       runner.jobs.lookup_jid)

                     • fun_args -- The arguments passed to the runner function (e.g.  ['20160829225914848058'])

                     • return -- The data returned by the runner function

       salt/run/<JID>/args
              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Fired by the state.orchestrate runner

              Variablesname  --  The  ID  declaration for the orchestration job (i.e. the line above salt.state,
                       salt.function, salt.runner, etc.)

                     • type -- The type of orchestration job being run (e.g. state)

                     • tgt -- The target expression (e.g. *). Included for state and function types only.

                     • args -- The args passed to the orchestration job. Note: for  state  and  function  types,
                       also  includes  a  tgt_type  value  which shows what kind of match (glob, pcre, etc.) was
                       used.  This value was named expr_form in the 2016.11 release cycle but has  been  renamed
                       to tgt_type in 2017.7.0 for consistency with other events.

   Presence Events
       salt/presence/present
              Events  fired  on  a  regular  interval  about  currently  connected, newly connected, or recently
              disconnected minions. Requires the presence_events setting to be enabled.

              Variables
                     present -- A list of minions that are currently connected to the Salt master.

       salt/presence/change
              Fired when the Presence system detects new minions connect or disconnect.

              Variablesnew -- A list of minions that have connected since the last presence event.

                     • lost -- A list of minions that have disconnected since the last presence event.

   Cloud Events
       Unlike other Master events, salt-cloud events are  not  fired  on  behalf  of  a  Salt  Minion.  Instead,
       salt-cloud events are fired on behalf of a VM. This is because the minion-to-be may not yet exist to fire
       events to or also may have been destroyed.

       This  behavior  is  reflected by the name variable in the event data for salt-cloud events as compared to
       the id variable for Salt Minion-triggered events.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/creating
              Fired when salt-cloud starts the VM creation process.

              Variablesname -- the name of the VM being created.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/deploying
              Fired when the VM is available and salt-cloud begins deploying Salt to the new VM.

              Variablesname -- the name of the VM being created.

                     • event -- description of the event.

                     • kwargs -- options available as the deploy script is invoked:  conf_file,  deploy_command,
                       display_ssh_output,   host,   keep_tmp,  key_filename,  make_minion,  minion_conf,  name,
                       parallel, preseed_minion_keys, script, script_args, script_env,  sock_dir,  start_action,
                       sudo, tmp_dir, tty, username

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/requesting
              Fired when salt-cloud sends the request to create a new VM.

              Fired when salt-cloud queries data for a new instance.

              Variablesevent -- description of the event.

                     • instance_id -- the ID of the new VM.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/tagging
              Fired when salt-cloud tags a new instance.

              Variablesevent -- description of the event.

                     • tags -- tags being set on the new instance.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/waiting_for_ssh
              Fired while the salt-cloud deploy process is waiting for  ssh  to  become  available  on  the  new
              instance.

              Variablesevent -- description of the event.

                     • ip_address -- IP address of the new instance.

              Variablesname -- the name of the VM being created.

                     • event -- description of the event.

                     • instance_id -- the ID of the new instance.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/destroyed
              Fired when an instance has been destroyed.

              Variablesname -- the name of the VM being created.

                     • event -- description of the event.

                     • instance_id -- the ID of the new instance.

   Listening for Events
       Salt's event system is used heavily within Salt and it is also written to integrate heavily with existing
       tooling and scripts. There is a variety of ways to consume it.

   From the CLI
       The quickest way to watch the event bus is by calling the state.event runner:

          salt-run state.event pretty=True

       That  runner  is  designed  to interact with the event bus from external tools and shell scripts. See the
       documentation for more examples.

   Remotely via the REST API
       Salt's event bus can be consumed salt.netapi.rest_cherrypy.app.Events as an  HTTP  stream  from  external
       tools or services.

          curl -SsNk https://salt-api.example.com:8000/events?token=05A3

   From Python
       Python scripts can access the event bus only as the same system user that Salt is running as.

       The  event system is accessed via the event library and can only be accessed by the same system user that
       Salt is running as. To listen to events a SaltEvent object needs to be created  and  then  the  get_event
       function  needs to be run. The SaltEvent object needs to know the location that the Salt Unix sockets are
       kept.  In  the  configuration  this  is  the  sock_dir  option.   The   sock_dir   option   defaults   to
       "/var/run/salt/master" on most systems.

       The following code will check for a single event:

          import salt.config
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.client_config("/etc/salt/master")

          event = salt.utils.event.get_event(
              "master", sock_dir=opts["sock_dir"], transport=opts["transport"], opts=opts
          )

          data = event.get_event()

       Events will also use a "tag". Tags allow for events to be filtered by prefix.  By default all events will
       be returned. If only authentication events are desired, then pass the tag "salt/auth".

       The  get_event  method  has a default poll time assigned of 5 seconds. To change this time set the "wait"
       option.

       The following example will only listen for auth events and will  wait  for  10  seconds  instead  of  the
       default 5.

          data = event.get_event(wait=10, tag="salt/auth")

       To retrieve the tag as well as the event data, pass full=True:

          evdata = event.get_event(wait=10, tag="salt/job", full=True)

          tag, data = evdata["tag"], evdata["data"]

       Instead  of looking for a single event, the iter_events method can be used to make a generator which will
       continually yield salt events.

       The iter_events method also accepts a tag but not a wait time:

          for data in event.iter_events(tag="salt/auth"):
              print(data)

       And finally event tags can be globbed, such as they can be in the Reactor, using the fnmatch library.

          import fnmatch

          import salt.config
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.client_config("/etc/salt/master")

          sevent = salt.utils.event.get_event(
              "master", sock_dir=opts["sock_dir"], transport=opts["transport"], opts=opts
          )

          while True:
              ret = sevent.get_event(full=True)
              if ret is None:
                  continue

              if fnmatch.fnmatch(ret["tag"], "salt/job/*/ret/*"):
                  do_something_with_job_return(ret["data"])

   Firing Events
       It is possible to fire events on either the minion's local bus or to fire events intended for the master.

       To fire a local event from the minion on the command line call the event.fire execution function:

          salt-call event.fire '{"data": "message to be sent in the event"}' 'tag'

       To fire an event to be sent up to the master from the minion  call  the  event.send  execution  function.
       Remember YAML can be used at the CLI in function arguments:

          salt-call event.send 'myco/mytag/success' '{success: True, message: "It works!"}'

       If  a  process  is listening on the minion, it may be useful for a user on the master to fire an event to
       it. An example of listening local events on a minion on a non-Windows system:

          # Job on minion
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.minion_config("/etc/salt/minion")
          event = salt.utils.event.MinionEvent(opts)

          for evdata in event.iter_events(match_type="regex", tag="custom/.*"):
              # do your processing here...
              ...

       And an example of listening local events on a Windows system:

          # Job on minion
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.minion_config(salt.minion.DEFAULT_MINION_OPTS)
          event = salt.utils.event.MinionEvent(opts)

          for evdata in event.iter_events(match_type="regex", tag="custom/.*"):
              # do your processing here...
              ...

          salt minionname event.fire '{"data": "message for the minion"}' 'customtag/african/unladen'

   Firing Events from Python
   From Salt execution modules
       Events can be very useful when writing execution modules, in order to inform  various  processes  on  the
       master when a certain task has taken place. This is easily done using the normal cross-calling syntax:

          # /srv/salt/_modules/my_custom_module.py

          def do_something():
              """
              Do something and fire an event to the master when finished

              CLI Example::

                  salt '*' my_custom_module:do_something
              """
              # do something!
              __salt__["event.send"](
                  "myco/my_custom_module/finished",
                  {"finished": True, "message": "The something is finished!"},
              )

   From Custom Python Scripts
       Firing events from custom Python code is quite simple and mirrors how it is done at the CLI:

          import salt.client

          caller = salt.client.Caller()

          ret = caller.cmd(
              "event.send", "myco/event/success", {"success": True, "message": "It works!"}
          )

          if not ret:
              # the event could not be sent, process the error here
              ...

   Beacons
       Beacons  let  you  use  the Salt event system to monitor non-Salt processes. The beacon system allows the
       minion to hook into a variety of system processes and continually monitor these processes. When monitored
       activity occurs in a system process, an event is sent on the Salt event bus that can be used to trigger a
       reactor.

       Salt beacons can currently monitor and send Salt events for many system activities, including:

       • file system changes

       • system load

       • service status

       • shell activity, such as user login

       • network and disk usage

       See beacon modules for a current list.

       NOTE:
          Salt beacons are an event generation mechanism. Beacons leverage  the  Salt  reactor  system  to  make
          changes when beacon events occur.

   Configuring Beacons
       Salt  beacons do not require any changes to the system components that are being monitored, everything is
       configured using Salt.

       Beacons are typically enabled by placing a beacons: top level block in /etc/salt/minion or  any  file  in
       /etc/salt/minion.d/ such as /etc/salt/minion.d/beacons.conf or add it to pillars for that minion:

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
                  /opt: {}

       The  beacon  system,  like  many others in Salt, can also be configured via the minion pillar, grains, or
       local config file.

       NOTE:
          The inotify beacon only works on OSes that have  inotify  kernel  support.   Currently  this  excludes
          FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows.

       All beacon configuration is done using list based configuration.

       New in version Neon.

       Multiple copies of a particular Salt beacon can be configured by including the beacon_module parameter in
       the beacon configuration.

          beacons:
            watch_important_file:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
              - beacon_module: inotify
            watch_another_file:
              - files:
                  /etc/another_file: {}
              - beacon_module: inotify

   Beacon Monitoring Interval
       Beacons  monitor  on  a  1-second  interval  by default. To set a different interval, provide an interval
       argument to a beacon. The following beacons run on 5- and 10-second intervals:

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
                  /opt: {}
              - interval: 5
              - disable_during_state_run: True
            load:
              - averages:
                  1m:
                    - 0.0
                    - 2.0
                  5m:
                    - 0.0
                    - 1.5
                  15m:
                    - 0.1
                    - 1.0
              - interval: 10

   Avoiding Event Loops
       It is important to carefully consider the possibility of creating a loop between a reactor and a  beacon.
       For  example,  one  might  set  up  a  beacon which monitors whether a file is read which in turn fires a
       reactor to run a state which in turn reads the file and re-fires the beacon.

       To avoid these types of scenarios, the disable_during_state_run argument may be set. If a state run is in
       progress, the beacon will not be run on its regular interval until the minion detects that the state  run
       has completed, at which point the normal beacon interval will resume.

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
              - disable_during_state_run: True

       NOTE:
          For  beacon  writers:   If  you  need  extra  stuff  to  happen,  like  closing  file  handles for the
          disable_during_state_run to actually work, you can add a close() function to the beacon to  run  those
          extra things. See the inotify beacon.

   Beacon Example
       This example demonstrates configuring the inotify beacon to monitor a file for changes, and then restores
       the file to its original contents if a change was made.

       NOTE:
          The  inotify  beacon  requires  Pyinotify  on  the  minion, install it using salt myminion pkg.install
          python-inotify.

   Create Watched File
       Create the file named /etc/important_file and add some simple content:

          important_config: True

   Add Beacon Configs to Minion
       On the Salt minion, add the following configuration to /etc/salt/minion.d/beacons.conf:

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file:
                    mask:
                      - modify
              - disable_during_state_run: True

       Save the configuration file and restart the minion service. The beacon is now set up to notify salt  upon
       modifications made to the file.

       NOTE:
          The  disable_during_state_run:  True  parameter  prevents  the  inotify beacon from generating reactor
          events due to salt itself modifying the file.

   View Events on the Master
       On your Salt master, start the event runner using the following command:

          salt-run state.event pretty=true

       This runner displays events as they are received by the master on the Salt event bus. To test the  beacon
       you  set  up  in the previous section, make and save a modification to /etc/important_file. You'll see an
       event similar to the following on the event bus:

          {
           "_stamp": "2015-09-09T15:59:37.972753",
           "data": {
               "change": "IN_IGNORED",
               "id": "larry",
               "path": "/etc/important_file"
           },
           "tag": "salt/beacon/larry/inotify//etc/important_file"
          }

       This indicates that the event is being captured and sent correctly. Now you can create a reactor to  take
       action when this event occurs.

   Create a Reactor
       This  reactor reverts the file named /etc/important_file to the contents provided by salt each time it is
       modified.

   Reactor SLS
       On your Salt master, create a file named /srv/reactor/revert.sls.

       NOTE:
          If the /srv/reactor directory doesn't exist, create it.

              mkdir -p /srv/reactor

       Add the following to /srv/reactor/revert.sls:

          revert-file:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: {{ data['data']['id'] }}
              - arg:
                - maintain_important_file

       NOTE:
          In addition to setting disable_during_state_run: True for an  inotify  beacon  whose  reaction  is  to
          modify the watched file, it is important to ensure the state applied is also idempotent.

       NOTE:
          The expression {{ data['data']['id'] }} is correct as it matches the event structure shown above.

   State SLS
       Create  the  state  sls  file  referenced  by  the  reactor sls file.  This state file will be located at
       /srv/salt/maintain_important_file.sls.

          important_file:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/important_file
              - contents: |
                  important_config: True

   Master Config
       Configure   the   master   to   map   the   inotify   beacon   event   to   the   revert   reaction    in
       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf:

          reactor:
            - salt/beacon/*/inotify//etc/important_file:
              - /srv/reactor/revert.sls

       NOTE:
          You  can  have  only  one  top  level  reactor section, so if one already exists, add this code to the
          existing section. See here to learn more about reactor SLS syntax.

   Start the Salt Master in Debug Mode
       To help with troubleshooting, start the Salt master in debug mode:

          service salt-master stop
          salt-master -l debug

       When debug logging is enabled, event and reactor data are displayed so you can discover syntax and  other
       issues.

   Trigger the Reactor
       On your minion, make and save another change to /etc/important_file. On the Salt master, you'll see debug
       messages that indicate the event was received and the state.apply job was sent. When you inspect the file
       on the minion, you'll see that the file contents have been restored to important_config: True.

       All  beacons  are  configured  using a similar process of enabling the beacon, writing a reactor SLS (and
       state SLS if needed), and mapping a beacon event to the reactor SLS.

   Writing Beacon Plugins
       Beacon plugins use the standard Salt loader system, meaning that many of the constructs from other plugin
       systems holds true, such as the __virtual__ function.

       The important function in the Beacon Plugin is the beacon function. When the beacon is configured to run,
       this function will be executed repeatedly by the minion. The beacon function therefore cannot  block  and
       should  be as lightweight as possible. The beacon also must return a list of dicts, each dict in the list
       will be translated into an event on the master.

       Beacons may also choose to implement a validate function which  takes  the  beacon  configuration  as  an
       argument  and  ensures that it is valid prior to continuing. This function is called automatically by the
       Salt loader when a beacon is loaded.

       Please see the inotify beacon as an example.

   The beacon Function
       The beacons system will look for a function named beacon in the module. If this function is  not  present
       then  the  beacon  will  not  be  fired. This function is called on a regular basis and defaults to being
       called on every iteration of the minion, which can be tens to hundreds of times a second. This means that
       the beacon function cannot block and should not be CPU or IO intensive.

       The beacon function will be passed in the configuration for the executed beacon. This makes  it  easy  to
       establish  a  flexible configuration for each called beacon. This is also the preferred way to ingest the
       beacon's configuration as it allows for the configuration to be dynamically updated while the  minion  is
       running by configuring the beacon in the minion's pillar.

   The Beacon Return
       The information returned from the beacon is expected to follow a predefined structure. The returned value
       needs  to  be  a  list  of dictionaries (standard python dictionaries are preferred, no ordered dicts are
       needed).

       The dictionaries represent individual events to be fired on the minion and master event buses. Each  dict
       is  a single event. The dict can contain any arbitrary keys but the 'tag' key will be extracted and added
       to the tag of the fired event.

       The return data structure would look something like this:

          [{"changes": ["/foo/bar"], "tag": "foo"}, {"changes": ["/foo/baz"], "tag": "bar"}]

   Calling Execution Modules
       Execution modules are still the preferred location for all work and system interaction to happen in Salt.
       For this reason the __salt__ variable is available inside the beacon.

       Please be careful when calling functions in __salt__, while this is  the  preferred  means  of  executing
       complicated  routines  in  Salt  not all of the execution modules have been written with beacons in mind.
       Watch out for execution modules that may be CPU intense  or  IO  bound.  Please  feel  free  to  add  new
       execution modules and functions to back specific beacons.

   Distributing Custom Beacons
       Custom beacons can be distributed to minions via the standard methods, see Modular Systems.

   Reactor System
       Salt's  Reactor  system gives Salt the ability to trigger actions in response to an event. It is a simple
       interface to watching Salt's event bus for event tags that match a given pattern and then running one  or
       more commands in response.

       This  system  binds  sls  files  to event tags on the master. These sls files then define reactions. This
       means that the reactor system has two parts. First, the reactor option needs to  be  set  in  the  master
       configuration  file.   The reactor option allows for event tags to be associated with sls reaction files.
       Second, these reaction files use highdata (like the state system) to define reactions to be executed.

   Event System
       A basic understanding of the event system is required to understand reactors.   The  event  system  is  a
       local  ZeroMQ  PUB  interface  which fires salt events. This event bus is an open system used for sending
       information notifying Salt and other systems about operations.

       The event system fires events with a very specific criteria. Every event has a tag. Event tags allow  for
       fast  top-level  filtering  of events. In addition to the tag, each event has a data structure. This data
       structure is a dictionary, which contains information about the event.

   Mapping Events to Reactor SLS Files
       Reactor SLS files and event tags  are  associated  in  the  master  config  file.   By  default  this  is
       /etc/salt/master, or /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf.

       New in version 2014.7.0: Added Reactor support for salt:// file paths.

       In  the  master  config section 'reactor:' is a list of event tags to be matched and each event tag has a
       list of reactor SLS files to be run.

          reactor:                            # Master config section "reactor"

            - 'salt/minion/*/start':          # Match tag "salt/minion/*/start"
              - /srv/reactor/start.sls        # Things to do when a minion starts
              - /srv/reactor/monitor.sls      # Other things to do

            - 'salt/cloud/*/destroyed':       # Globs can be used to match tags
              - /srv/reactor/destroy/*.sls    # Globs can be used to match file names

            - 'myco/custom/event/tag':        # React to custom event tags
              - salt://reactor/mycustom.sls   # Reactor files can come from the salt fileserver

       NOTE:
          In the above example, salt://reactor/mycustom.sls refers to the base environment. To  pull  this  file
          from      a      different      environment,      use      the      querystring      syntax      (e.g.
          salt://reactor/mycustom.sls?saltenv=reactor).

       Reactor SLS files are similar to State and Pillar SLS files. They are by default YAML +  Jinja  templates
       and  are  passed  familiar  context variables.  Click here for more detailed information on the variables
       available in Jinja templating.

       Here is the SLS for a simple reaction:

          {% if data['id'] == 'mysql1' %}
          highstate_run:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: mysql1
          {% endif %}

       This simple reactor file uses Jinja to further refine the reaction to be made.  If the id  in  the  event
       data  is  mysql1  (in  other  words,  if the name of the minion is mysql1) then the following reaction is
       defined.  The same data structure and compiler used for the state system is used for the reactor  system.
       The  only  difference  is  that the data is matched up to the salt command API and the runner system.  In
       this example, a command is published to the mysql1 minion with a function of state.apply, which  performs
       a highstate. Similarly, a runner can be called:

          {% if data['data']['custom_var'] == 'runit' %}
          call_runit_orch:
            runner.state.orchestrate:
              - args:
                - mods: orchestrate.runit
          {% endif %}

       This example will execute the state.orchestrate runner and intiate an execution of the runit orchestrator
       located at /srv/salt/orchestrate/runit.sls.

       NOTE:
          The  local  and caller reaction types will likely be renamed in a future release. These reaction types
          were named after Salt's internal client interfaces, and are not  intuitively  named.  Both  local  and
          caller will continue to work in Reactor SLS files, however.

   Where to Put Reactor SLS Files
       Reactor  SLS files can come both from files local to the master, and from any of backends enabled via the
       fileserver_backend config option. Files placed in the Salt fileserver can be referenced using  a  salt://
       URL, just like they can in State SLS files.

       It  is recommended to place reactor and orchestrator SLS files in their own uniquely-named subdirectories
       such as orch/, orchestrate/, react/, reactor/, etc., to keep them organized.

   Writing Reactor SLS
       The different reaction types were developed separately and have historically had  different  methods  for
       passing  arguments.  For  the  2017.7.2  release a new, unified configuration schema has been introduced,
       which applies to all reaction types.

       The old config schema will continue to be supported, and there is no plan to deprecate it at this time.

   Local Reactions
       A local reaction runs a remote-execution function on the targeted minions.

       The old config schema required the positional and keyword arguments to be manually separated by the  user
       under  arg  and  kwarg  parameters.  However,  this  is  not very user-friendly, as it forces the user to
       distinguish which type of argument is  which,  and  make  sure  that  positional  arguments  are  ordered
       properly. Therefore, the new config schema is recommended if the master is running a supported release.

       The below two examples are equivalent:
                    ┌──────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────┐
                    │ Supported in 2017.7.2 and later      │ Supported in all releases           │

                    │                                      │                                     │
                    │           install_zsh:               │           install_zsh:              │
                    │             local.state.single:      │             local.state.single:     │

                    │               - tgt_type: grain      │               - tgt_type: grain     │
                    │               - args:                │               - arg:                │
                    │                 - fun: pkg.installed │                 - pkg.installed     │
                    │                 - name: zsh          │                 - zsh               │
                    │                 - fromrepo: updates  │               - kwarg:              │
                    │                                      │                   fromrepo: updates │
                    └──────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────┘

       This reaction would be equivalent to running the following Salt command:

          salt -G 'kernel:Linux' state.single pkg.installed name=zsh fromrepo=updates

       NOTE:
          Any  other  parameters  in  the LocalClient().cmd_async() method can be passed at the same indentation
          level as tgt.

       NOTE:
          tgt_type is only required when the target expression defined in tgt uses a target type  other  than  a
          minion ID glob.

          The tgt_type argument was named expr_form in releases prior to 2017.7.0.

   Runner Reactions
       Runner reactions execute runner functions locally on the master.

       The  old config schema called for passing arguments to the reaction directly under the name of the runner
       function. However,  this  can  cause  unpredictable  interactions  with  the  Reactor  system's  internal
       arguments. It is also possible to pass positional and keyword arguments under arg and kwarg like above in
       local  reactions,  but as noted above this is not very user-friendly. Therefore, the new config schema is
       recommended if the master is running a supported release.

       The below two examples are equivalent:
 ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │ Supported in 2017.7.2 and later                         │ Supported in all releases                               │

 │             runner.state.orchestrate:                   │             runner.state.orchestrate:                   │
 │               - args:                                   │               - mods: orchestrate.deploy_app            │
 │                 - mods: orchestrate.deploy_app          │               - kwarg:                                  │
 │                 - pillar:                               │                   pillar:                               │
 │                     event_tag: {{ tag }}                │                     event_tag: {{ tag }}                │
 │                     event_data: {{ data['data']|json }} │                     event_data: {{ data['data']|json }} │
 └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

       Assuming that the event tag is foo, and the data passed  to  the  event  is  {'bar':  'baz'},  then  this
       reaction is equivalent to running the following Salt command:

          salt-run state.orchestrate mods=orchestrate.deploy_app pillar='{"event_tag": "foo", "event_data": {"bar": "baz"}}'

   Wheel Reactions
       Wheel reactions run wheel functions locally on the master.

       Like runner reactions, the old config schema called for wheel reactions to have arguments passed directly
       under the name of the wheel function (or in arg or kwarg parameters).

       The below two examples are equivalent:
               ┌───────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────┐
               │ Supported in 2017.7.2 and later           │ Supported in all releases               │
               ├───────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────┤
               │                                           │                                         │
               │           remove_key:                     │           remove_key:                   │

               │               - args:                     │               - match: {{ data['id'] }} │
               │                 - match: {{ data['id'] }} │                                         │
               └───────────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────┘

   Caller Reactions
       Caller  reactions run remote-execution functions on a minion daemon's Reactor system. To run a Reactor on
       the minion, it is necessary to configure the Reactor Engine in the minion config  file,  and  then  setup
       your watched events in a reactor section in the minion config file as well.

       NOTE:
          Masterless Minions use this Reactor

          This is the only way to run the Reactor if you use masterless minions.

       Both  the  old and new config schemas involve passing arguments under an args parameter. However, the old
       config schema only supports positional arguments.  Therefore, the new config schema is recommended if the
       masterless minion is running a supported release.

       The below two examples are equivalent:
                        ┌──────────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┐
                        │ Supported in 2017.7.2 and later  │ Supported in all releases      │

                        │                                  │                                │
                        │           touch_file:            │           touch_file:          │
                        │             caller.file.touch:   │             caller.file.touch: │
                        │               - args:            │               - args:          │
                        │                 - name: /tmp/foo │                 - /tmp/foo     │
                        └──────────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────┘

       This reaction is equivalent to running the following Salt command:

          salt-call file.touch name=/tmp/foo

   Best Practices for Writing Reactor SLS Files
       The Reactor works as follows:

       1. The Salt Reactor watches Salt's event bus for new events.

       2. Each event's tag is matched against the list of event tags configured under the reactor section in the
          Salt Master config.

       3. The SLS files for any matches are rendered into a data structure that represents one or more  function
          calls.

       4. That data structure is given to a pool of worker threads for execution.

       Matching  and  rendering  Reactor  SLS  files  is done sequentially in a single process. For that reason,
       reactor SLS files should contain few individual reactions (one, if at all possible). Also, keep  in  mind
       that reactions are fired asynchronously (with the exception of caller) and do not support requisites.

       Complex  Jinja  templating  that  calls  out  to slow remote-execution or runner functions slows down the
       rendering and causes other reactions to pile up behind the current one. The worker pool  is  designed  to
       handle complex and long-running processes like orchestration jobs.

       Therefore,  when  complex tasks are in order, orchestration is a natural fit. Orchestration SLS files can
       be more complex, and use requisites. Performing a complex  task  using  orchestration  lets  the  Reactor
       system fire off the orchestration job and proceed with processing other reactions.

   Jinja Context
       Reactor  SLS  files only have access to a minimal Jinja context. grains and pillar are not available. The
       salt object is available for calling  remote-execution  or  runner  functions,  but  it  should  be  used
       sparingly and only for quick tasks for the reasons mentioned above.

       In addition to the salt object, the following variables are available in the Jinja context:

       • tag - the tag from the event that triggered execution of the Reactor SLS file

       • data - the event's data dictionary

       The  data dict will contain an id key containing the minion ID, if the event was fired from a minion, and
       a data key containing the data passed to the event.

   Advanced State System Capabilities
       Reactor SLS files, by design, do not support requisites, ordering, onlyif/unless  conditionals  and  most
       other powerful constructs from Salt's State system.

       Complex  Master-side  operations  are best performed by Salt's Orchestrate system so using the Reactor to
       kick off an Orchestrate run is a very common pairing.

       For example:

          # /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf
          # A custom event containing: {"foo": "Foo!", "bar: "bar*", "baz": "Baz!"}
          reactor:
            - my/custom/event:
              - /srv/reactor/some_event.sls

          # /srv/reactor/some_event.sls
          invoke_orchestrate_file:
            runner.state.orchestrate:
              - args:
                  - mods: orchestrate.do_complex_thing
                  - pillar:
                      event_tag: {{ tag }}
                      event_data: {{ data|json }}

          # /srv/salt/orchestrate/do_complex_thing.sls
          {% set tag = salt.pillar.get('event_tag') %}
          {% set data = salt.pillar.get('event_data') %}

          # Pass data from the event to a custom runner function.
          # The function expects a 'foo' argument.
          do_first_thing:
            salt.runner:
              - name: custom_runner.custom_function
              - foo: {{ data.foo }}

          # Wait for the runner to finish then send an execution to minions.
          # Forward some data from the event down to the minion's state run.
          do_second_thing:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: {{ data.bar }}
              - sls:
                - do_thing_on_minion
              - kwarg:
                  pillar:
                    baz: {{ data.baz }}
              - require:
                - salt: do_first_thing

   Beacons and Reactors
       An event initiated by a beacon, when it arrives at the master will be wrapped inside a second event, such
       that the data object containing the beacon information will be data['data'], rather than data.

       For example, to access the id field of the beacon event in a reactor file, you will need to reference  {{
       data['data']['id'] }} rather than {{ data['id'] }} as for events initiated directly on the event bus.

       Similarly,  the  data  dictionary  attached  to  the event would be located in {{ data['data']['data'] }}
       instead of {{ data['data'] }}.

       See the beacon documentation for examples.

   Manually Firing an Event
   From the Master
       Use the event.send runner:

          salt-run event.send foo '{orchestrate: refresh}'

   From the Minion
       To fire an event to the master from a minion, call event.send:

          salt-call event.send foo '{orchestrate: refresh}'

       To fire an event to the minion's local event bus, call event.fire:

          salt-call event.fire '{orchestrate: refresh}' foo

   Referencing Data Passed in Events
       Assuming any of the above examples, any reactor SLS files triggered by watching the event  tag  foo  will
       execute with {{ data['data']['orchestrate'] }} equal to 'refresh'.

   Getting Information About Events
       The  best  way  to see exactly what events have been fired and what data is available in each event is to
       use the state.event runner.

              "fun_args": [
                  "20150213001905721678"
              ],
              "id": "jerry",
              "jid": "20150213001910749506",
              "retcode": 0,
              "return": {},
              "success": true
          }

   Debugging the Reactor
       The best window into the Reactor is to run the master in the foreground with debug logging  enabled.  The
       output  will  include when the master sees the event, what the master does in response to that event, and
       it will also include the rendered SLS file (or any errors generated while rendering the SLS file).

       1. Stop the master.

       2. Start the master manually:

             salt-master -l debug

       3. Look for log entries in the form:

             [DEBUG   ] Gathering reactors for tag foo/bar
             [DEBUG   ] Compiling reactions for tag foo/bar
             [DEBUG   ] Rendered data from file: /path/to/the/reactor_file.sls:
             <... Rendered output appears here. ...>

          The rendered output is the result of the Jinja parsing and is  a  good  way  to  view  the  result  of
          referencing  Jinja  variables.  If  the  result  is  empty then Jinja produced an empty result and the
          Reactor will ignore it.

   Passing Event Data to Minions or Orchestration as Pillar
       An interesting trick to pass data from the Reactor SLS file to state.apply is to pass it as inline Pillar
       data since both functions take a keyword argument named pillar.

       The following example uses Salt's Reactor to listen for the event that is fired when the key  for  a  new
       minion is accepted on the master using salt-key.

       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/key':
              - /srv/salt/haproxy/react_new_minion.sls

       The  Reactor  then  fires a :state.apply command targeted to the HAProxy servers and passes the ID of the
       new minion from the event to the state file via inline Pillar.

       /srv/salt/haproxy/react_new_minion.sls:

          {% if data['act'] == 'accept' and data['id'].startswith('web') %}
          add_new_minion_to_pool:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: 'haproxy*'
              - args:
                - mods: haproxy.refresh_pool
                - pillar:
                    new_minion: {{ data['id'] }}
          {% endif %}

       The above command is equivalent to the following command at the CLI:

          salt 'haproxy*' state.apply haproxy.refresh_pool pillar='{new_minion: minionid}'

       This works with Orchestrate files as well:

          call_some_orchestrate_file:
            runner.state.orchestrate:
              - args:
                - mods: orchestrate.some_orchestrate_file
                - pillar:
                    stuff: things

       Which is equivalent to the following command at the CLI:

          salt-run state.orchestrate orchestrate.some_orchestrate_file pillar='{stuff: things}'

       Finally, that data is available in the state file using the normal Pillar lookup  syntax.  The  following
       example  is  grabbing web server names and IP addresses from Salt Mine. If this state is invoked from the
       Reactor then the custom Pillar value from above will be available and the new minion will be added to the
       pool but with the disabled flag so that HAProxy won't yet direct traffic to it.

       /srv/salt/haproxy/refresh_pool.sls:

          {% set new_minion = salt['pillar.get']('new_minion') %}

          listen web *:80
              balance source
              {% for server,ip in salt['mine.get']('web*', 'network.interfaces', ['eth0']).items() %}
              {% if server == new_minion %}
              server {{ server }} {{ ip }}:80 disabled
              {% else %}
              server {{ server }} {{ ip }}:80 check
              {% endif %}
              {% endfor %}

   A Complete Example
       In this example, we're going to assume that we have a group of servers that will come  online  at  random
       and  need  to  have  keys  automatically  accepted.  We'll  also add that we don't want all servers being
       automatically accepted. For this example, we'll assume that all hosts that have an id  that  starts  with
       'ink'  will  be  automatically accepted and have state.apply executed. On top of this, we're going to add
       that a host coming up that was replaced (meaning a new key) will also be accepted.

       Our master configuration will be rather simple. All minions that attempte to authenticate will match  the
       tag of salt/auth. When it comes to the minion key being accepted, we get a more refined tag that includes
       the minion id, which we can use for matching.

       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/auth':
              - /srv/reactor/auth-pending.sls
            - 'salt/minion/ink*/start':
              - /srv/reactor/auth-complete.sls

       In  this SLS file, we say that if the key was rejected we will delete the key on the master and then also
       tell the master to ssh in to the minion and tell it to restart the minion, since a  minion  process  will
       die if the key is rejected.

       We  also  say that if the key is pending and the id starts with ink we will accept the key. A minion that
       is waiting on a pending key will retry authentication every ten seconds by default.

       /srv/reactor/auth-pending.sls:

          {# Ink server failed to authenticate -- remove accepted key #}
          {% if not data['result'] and data['id'].startswith('ink') %}
          minion_remove:
            wheel.key.delete:
              - args:
                - match: {{ data['id'] }}
          minion_rejoin:
            local.cmd.run:
              - tgt: salt-master.domain.tld
              - args:
                - cmd: ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no "{{ data['id'] }}" 'sleep 10 && /etc/init.d/salt-minion restart'
          {% endif %}

          {# Ink server is sending new key -- accept this key #}
          {% if 'act' in data and data['act'] == 'pend' and data['id'].startswith('ink') %}
          minion_add:
            wheel.key.accept:
              - args:
                - match: {{ data['id'] }}
          {% endif %}

       No if statements are needed here because we already limited this action to just Ink servers in the master
       configuration.

       /srv/reactor/auth-complete.sls:

          {# When an Ink server connects, run state.apply. #}
          highstate_run:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: {{ data['id'] }}
              - ret: smtp

       The above will also return the highstate result data using the smtp_return returner (use virtualname like
       when using from the command line with --return).  The returner needs to be configured on the  minion  for
       this to work.  See salt.returners.smtp_return documentation for that.

   Syncing Custom Types on Minion Start
       Salt  will sync all custom types (by running a saltutil.sync_all) on every highstate. However, there is a
       chicken-and-egg issue where, on the initial highstate, a minion will not  yet  have  these  custom  types
       synced when the top file is first compiled. This can be worked around with a simple reactor which watches
       for  salt/minion/*/start  events,  which  each  minion  fires when it first starts up and connects to the
       master.

       On the master, create /srv/reactor/sync_grains.sls with the following contents:

          sync_grains:
            local.saltutil.sync_grains:
              - tgt: {{ data['id'] }}

       And in the master config file, add the following reactor configuration:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/minion/*/start':
              - /srv/reactor/sync_grains.sls

       This will cause the master to instruct each minion to sync its custom grains when it starts, making these
       grains available when the initial highstate is executed.

       Other types can be  synced  by  replacing  local.saltutil.sync_grains  with  local.saltutil.sync_modules,
       local.saltutil.sync_all, or whatever else suits the intended use case.

       Also,  if  it is not desirable that every minion syncs on startup, the * can be replaced with a different
       glob to narrow down the set of minions which will match  that  reactor  (e.g.  salt/minion/appsrv*/start,
       which would only match minion IDs beginning with appsrv).

   Reactor Tuning for Large-Scale Installations
       The  reactor  uses a thread pool implementation that's contained inside salt.utils.process.ThreadPool. It
       uses Python's stdlib Queue to enqueue jobs which are picked up by standard Python threads. If  the  queue
       is full, False is simply returned by the firing method on the thread pool.

       As such, there are a few things to say about the selection of proper values for the reactor.

       For  situations  where  it  is  expected  that  many  long-running jobs might be executed by the reactor,
       reactor_worker_hwm should be increased or even set to 0 to bound it only by available memory. If  set  to
       zero, a close eye should be kept on memory consumption.

       If  many  long-running jobs are expected and execution concurrency and performance are a concern, you may
       also increase the value for reactor_worker_threads. This will control the number  of  concurrent  threads
       which  are  pulling  jobs  from the queue and executing them. Obviously, this bears a relationship to the
       speed at which the queue itself will fill up.  The price to pay for this value is that each  thread  will
       contain a copy of Salt code needed to perform the requested action.

ORCHESTRATION

   Orchestrate Runner
       Executing  states  or highstate on a minion is perfect when you want to ensure that minion configured and
       running the way you want. Sometimes however you want to configure a set of minions all at once.

       For example, if you want to set up a load balancer in front of a cluster of web servers  you  can  ensure
       the  load  balancer  is  set  up  first, and then the same matching configuration is applied consistently
       across the whole cluster.

       Orchestration is the way to do this.

   The Orchestrate Runner
       New in version 0.17.0.

       NOTE:
          Orchestrate Deprecates OverState

          The Orchestrate Runner (originally called the state.sls runner) offers all the  functionality  of  the
          OverState, but with some advantages:

          • All requisites available in states can be used.

          • The states/functions will also work on salt-ssh minions.

          The Orchestrate Runner replaced the OverState system in Salt 2015.8.0.

       The  orchestrate  runner  generalizes  the  Salt  state  system  to  a  Salt master context.  Whereas the
       state.sls, state.highstate, et al. functions are concurrently and independently  executed  on  each  Salt
       minion, the state.orchestrate runner is executed on the master, giving it a master-level view and control
       over  requisites, such as state ordering and conditionals.  This allows for inter minion requisites, like
       ordering the application of states on different minions that  must  not  happen  simultaneously,  or  for
       halting the state run on all minions if a minion fails one of its states.

       The  state.sls,  state.highstate,  et  al.  functions  allow you to statefully manage each minion and the
       state.orchestrate runner allows you to statefully manage your entire infrastructure.

   Writing SLS Files
       Orchestrate SLS files are stored in the same location as State SLS files. This means that both file_roots
       and gitfs_remotes impact what SLS files are available to the reactor and orchestrator.

       It is recommended to keep reactor and orchestrator SLS files in their own uniquely  named  subdirectories
       such  as  _orch/, orch/, _orchestrate/, react/, _reactor/, etc. This will avoid duplicate naming and will
       help prevent confusion.

   Executing the Orchestrate Runner
       The Orchestrate Runner command format is the same as for the state.sls function, except that since it  is
       a  runner,  it  is  executed  with  salt-run rather than salt.  Assuming you have a state.sls file called
       /srv/salt/orch/webserver.sls the following command, run on the master, will apply the states  defined  in
       that file.

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.webserver

       NOTE:
          state.orch is a synonym for state.orchestrate

       Changed in version 2014.1.1: The runner function was renamed to state.orchestrate to avoid confusion with
       the state.sls execution function. In versions 0.17.0 through 2014.1.0, state.sls must be used.

   Masterless Orchestration
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       To  support salt orchestration on masterless minions, the Orchestrate Runner is available as an execution
       module. The syntax for masterless orchestration is exactly the same, but it uses  the  salt-call  command
       and  the  minion  configuration  must  contain  the file_mode: local option. Alternatively, use salt-call
       --local on the command line.

          salt-call --local state.orchestrate orch.webserver

       NOTE:
          Masterless orchestration supports only the salt.state command in an sls file; it does not  (currently)
          support the salt.function command.

   Examples
   Function
       To execute a function, use salt.function:

          # /srv/salt/orch/cleanfoo.sls
          cmd.run:
            salt.function:
              - tgt: '*'
              - arg:
                - rm -rf /tmp/foo

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.cleanfoo

       If  you  omit  the  "name"  argument,  the  ID  of  the state will be the default name, or in the case of
       salt.function, the execution module function to run.  You  can  specify  the  "name"  argument  to  avoid
       conflicting IDs:

          copy_some_file:
            salt.function:
              - name: file.copy
              - tgt: '*'
              - arg:
                - /path/to/file
                - /tmp/copy_of_file
              - kwarg:
                  remove_existing: true

   Fail Functions
       When  running a remote execution function in orchestration, certain return values for those functions may
       indicate failure, while the function itself doesn't set a return code. For those circumstances,  using  a
       "fail function" allows for a more flexible means of assessing success or failure.

       A  fail  function  can  be  written  as part of a custom execution module. The function should accept one
       argument, and return a boolean result. For example:

          def check_func_result(retval):
              if some_condition:
                  return True
              else:
                  return False

       The function can then be referenced in orchestration SLS like so:

          do_stuff:
            salt.function:
              - name: modname.funcname
              - tgt: '*'
              - fail_function: mymod.check_func_result

       IMPORTANT:
          Fail functions run on the master, so they must be synced using salt-run saltutil.sync_modules.

   State
       To execute a state, use salt.state.

          # /srv/salt/orch/webserver.sls
          install_nginx:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'web*'
              - sls:
                - nginx

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.webserver

   Highstate
       To run a highstate, set highstate: True in your state config:

          # /srv/salt/orch/web_setup.sls
          webserver_setup:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'web*'
              - highstate: True

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.web_setup

   Runner
       To execute another runner, use salt.runner.   For  example  to  use  the  cloud.profile  runner  in  your
       orchestration state additional options to replace values in the configured profile, use this:

          # /srv/salt/orch/deploy.sls
          create_instance:
            salt.runner:
              - name: cloud.profile
              - prof: cloud-centos
              - provider: cloud
              - instances:
                - server1
              - opts:
                  minion:
                    master: master1

       To  get  a  more  dynamic  state,  use  jinja variables together with inline pillar data.  Using the same
       example but passing on pillar data, the state would be like this.

          # /srv/salt/orch/deploy.sls
          {% set servers = salt['pillar.get']('servers', 'test') %}
          {% set master = salt['pillar.get']('master', 'salt') %}
          create_instance:
            salt.runner:
              - name: cloud.profile
              - prof: cloud-centos
              - provider: cloud
              - instances:
                - {{ servers }}
              - opts:
                  minion:
                    master: {{ master }}

       To execute with pillar data.

          salt-run state.orch orch.deploy pillar='{"servers": "newsystem1",
          "master": "mymaster"}'

   Return Codes in Runner/Wheel Jobs
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       State (salt.state) jobs are able to report failure via the  state  return  dictionary.  Remote  execution
       (salt.function)  jobs  are able to report failure by setting a retcode key in the __context__ dictionary.
       However, runner (salt.runner) and wheel (salt.wheel) jobs would only  report  a  False  result  when  the
       runner/wheel  function  raised  an  exception.  As  of  the 2018.3.0 release, it is now possible to set a
       retcode in runner and wheel functions just as you can do in remote  execution  functions.  Here  is  some
       example pseudocode:

          def myrunner():
              ...
              # do stuff
              ...
              if some_error_condition:
                  __context__["retcode"] = 1
              return result

       This  allows  a custom runner/wheel function to report its failure so that requisites can accurately tell
       that a job has failed.

   More Complex Orchestration
       Many states/functions can be configured in a single file, which when combined  with  the  full  suite  of
       requisites,   can   be   used   to  easily  configure  complex  orchestration  tasks.  Additionally,  the
       states/functions will be executed in the order in which they are defined, unless prevented from doing  so
       by any requisites, as is the default in SLS files since 0.17.0.

          bootstrap_servers:
            salt.function:
              - name: cmd.run
              - tgt: 10.0.0.0/24
              - tgt_type: ipcidr
              - arg:
                - bootstrap

          storage_setup:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'role:storage'
              - tgt_type: grain
              - sls: ceph
              - require:
                - salt: webserver_setup

          webserver_setup:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'web*'
              - highstate: True

       Given the above setup, the orchestration will be carried out as follows:

       1. The shell command bootstrap will be executed on all minions in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet.

       2. A  Highstate  will  be  run  on  all minions whose ID starts with "web", since the storage_setup state
          requires it.

       3. Finally, the ceph SLS target will be executed on all minions which have a grain  called  role  with  a
          value of storage.

       NOTE:
          Remember, salt-run is always executed on the master.

   Parsing Results Programmatically
       Orchestration  jobs  return  output  in  a  specific  data  structure. That data structure is represented
       differently depending on the outputter used. With the default outputter for orchestration, you get a nice
       human-readable output.  Assume the following orchestration SLS:

          good_state:
            salt.state:

       The 2018.3.0 release includes a couple fixes to make parsing this data  easier  and  more  accurate.  The
       first  is  the  ability  to  set  a return code in a custom runner or wheel function, as noted above. The
       second is a change to how failures are included in the  return  data.  Prior  to  the  2018.3.0  release,
       minions that failed a salt.state orchestration job would show up in the comment field of the return data,
       in  a  human-readable  string that was not easily parsed. They are now included in the changes dictionary
       alongside the minions that succeeded. In addition, salt.function  jobs  which  failed  because  the  fail
       function  returned  False used to handle their failures in the same way salt.state jobs did, and this has
       likewise been corrected.

   Running States on the Master without a Minion
       The orchestrate runner can be used to execute states on the master without using a minion.  For  example,
       assume that salt://foo.sls contains the following SLS:

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://files/foo.conf
              - mode: 0600

       In  this case, running salt-run state.orchestrate foo would be the equivalent of running a state.sls foo,
       but it would execute on the master only, and would not require a minion  daemon  to  be  running  on  the
       master.

       This is not technically orchestration, but it can be useful in certain use cases.

   Limitations
       Only one SLS target can be run at a time using this method, while using state.sls allows for multiple SLS
       files to be passed in a comma-separated list.

       Salt is capable of managing Solaris systems, however due to various  differences  between  the  operating
       systems, there are some things you need to keep in mind.

       This document will contain any quirks that apply across Salt or limitations in some modules.

   FQDN/UQDN
       On  Solaris  platforms  the  FQDN will not always be properly detected.  If an IPv6 address is configured
       pythons `socket.getfqdn()` fails to return a FQDN and returns the nodename instead. For a full  breakdown
       see the following issue on github: #37027

   Grains
       Not  all  grains  are  available  or  some  have  empty or 0 as value. Mostly grains that are depenend on
       hardware discovery like: - num_gpus - gpus

       Also some resolver related grains like: - domain - dns:options - dns:sortlist

SALT SSH

   Getting Started
       Salt SSH is very easy to use, simply set up a basic roster file of the systems  to  connect  to  and  run
       salt-ssh commands in a similar way as standard salt commands.

       • Salt ssh is considered production ready in version 2014.7.0

       • Python  is  required  on  the remote system (unless using the -r option to send raw ssh commands).  The
         python version requirement is the same as that for a standard Salt installation.

       • On many systems, the salt-ssh executable will be in its own package, usually named salt-ssh

       • The Salt SSH system does not supersede the standard Salt communication systems,  it  simply  offers  an
         SSH-based  alternative  that  does  not  require  ZeroMQ  and  a  remote agent. Be aware that since all
         communication with Salt SSH is executed via SSH it is substantially  slower  than  standard  Salt  with
         ZeroMQ.

       • At  the  moment  fileserver  operations must be wrapped to ensure that the relevant files are delivered
         with the salt-ssh commands.  The state module is an exception, which compiles  the  state  run  on  the
         master, and in the process finds all the references to salt:// paths and copies those files down in the
         same tarball as the state run.  However, needed fileserver wrappers are still under development.

   Salt SSH Roster
       The roster system in Salt allows for remote minions to be easily defined.

       NOTE:
          See the SSH roster docs for more details.

       Simply create the roster file, the default location is /etc/salt/roster:

          web1: 192.168.42.1

       This  is  a  very  basic roster file where a Salt ID is being assigned to an IP address. A more elaborate
       roster can be created:

          web1:
            host: 192.168.42.1 # The IP addr or DNS hostname
            user: fred         # Remote executions will be executed as user fred
            passwd: foobarbaz  # The password to use for login, if omitted, keys are used
            sudo: True         # Whether to sudo to root, not enabled by default
          web2:
            host: 192.168.42.2

       NOTE:
          sudo works only if NOPASSWD is set for user in /etc/sudoers: fred ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

   Deploy ssh key for salt-ssh
       By   default,   salt-ssh   will   generate   key   pairs   for   ssh,   the   default   path   will    be
       /etc/salt/pki/master/ssh/salt-ssh.rsa.  The  key  generation  happens when you run salt-ssh for the first
       time.

       You can use ssh-copy-id, (the OpenSSH key deployment tool) to deploy keys to your servers.

          ssh-copy-id -i /etc/salt/pki/master/ssh/salt-ssh.rsa.pub user@server.demo.com

       One could also create a simple shell script, named salt-ssh-copy-id.sh as follows:

          #!/bin/bash
          if [ -z $1 ]; then
             echo $0 user@host.com
             exit 0
          fi
          ssh-copy-id -i /etc/salt/pki/master/ssh/salt-ssh.rsa.pub $1

       NOTE:
          Be certain to chmod +x salt-ssh-copy-id.sh.

          ./salt-ssh-copy-id.sh user@server1.host.com
          ./salt-ssh-copy-id.sh user@server2.host.com

       Once keys are successfully deployed, salt-ssh can be used to control them.

       Alternatively ssh agent forwarding can be used by setting the priv to agent-forwarding.

   Calling Salt SSH
       NOTE:
          salt-ssh on target hosts without Python 3

          The salt-ssh command requires at least python 3, which is not installed  by  default  on  some  target
          hosts.   An  easy workaround in this situation is to use the -r option to run a raw shell command that
          installs python26:

              salt-ssh centos-5-minion -r 'yum -y install epel-release ; yum -y install python26'

       NOTE:
          salt-ssh on systems with Python 3.x

          Salt, before the 2017.7.0 release, does not support Python 3.x which is the default on for example the
          popular 16.04 LTS release of Ubuntu. An easy workaround for this scenario is  to  use  the  -r  option
          similar to the example above:

              salt-ssh ubuntu-1604-minion -r 'apt update ; apt install -y python-minimal'

       The salt-ssh command can be easily executed in the same way as a salt command:

          salt-ssh '*' test.version

       Commands with salt-ssh follow the same syntax as the salt command.

       The  standard salt functions are available! The output is the same as salt and many of the same flags are
       available. Please see Salt SSH reference for all of the available options.

   Raw Shell Calls
       By default salt-ssh runs Salt execution modules on the remote system, but salt-ssh can also  execute  raw
       shell commands:

          salt-ssh '*' -r 'ifconfig'

   States Via Salt SSH
       The  Salt  State  system can also be used with salt-ssh. The state system abstracts the same interface to
       the user in salt-ssh as it does when using standard salt. The intent is that Salt  Formulas  defined  for
       standard salt will work seamlessly with salt-ssh and vice-versa.

       The standard Salt States walkthroughs function by simply replacing salt commands with salt-ssh.

   Targeting with Salt SSH
       Due  to  the  fact  that  the  targeting  approach  differs  in salt-ssh, only glob and regex targets are
       supported as of this writing, the remaining target systems still need to be implemented.

       NOTE:
          By default, Grains are settable through salt-ssh. By default,  these  grains  will  not  be  persisted
          across reboots.

          See the "thin_dir" setting in Roster documentation for more details.

   Configuring Salt SSH
       Salt  SSH  takes  its  configuration  from  a  master  configuration  file.  Normally,  this  file  is in
       /etc/salt/master. If one wishes to use a customized  configuration  file,  the  -c  option  to  Salt  SSH
       facilitates passing in a directory to look inside for a configuration file named master.

   Minion Config
       New in version 2015.5.1.

       Minion  config  options can be defined globally using the master configuration option ssh_minion_opts. It
       can also be defined on a per-minion basis with the minion_opts entry in the roster.

   Running Salt SSH as non-root user
       By default, Salt read all the configuration from /etc/salt/. If you are running Salt SSH with  a  regular
       user  you  have to modify some paths or you will get "Permission denied" messages. You have to modify two
       parameters: pki_dir and cachedir. Those should point to a full path writable for the user.

       It's recommended not to modify /etc/salt for this purpose. Create a private copy  of  /etc/salt  for  the
       user and run the command with -c /new/config/path.

   Define CLI Options with Saltfile
       If  you  are  commonly passing in CLI options to salt-ssh, you can create a Saltfile to automatically use
       these options. This is common if you're managing several different salt projects on the same server.

       So you can cd into a directory that has a Saltfile with the following YAML contents:

          salt-ssh:
            config_dir: path/to/config/dir
            ssh_log_file: salt-ssh.log
            ssh_max_procs: 30
            ssh_wipe: True

       Instead of having to call salt-ssh --config-dir=path/to/config/dir --max-procs=30 --wipe \*  test.version
       you can call salt-ssh \* test.version.

       Boolean-style options should be specified in their YAML representation.

       NOTE:
          The  option  keys  specified  must  match  the destination attributes for the options specified in the
          parser salt.utils.parsers.SaltSSHOptionParser.  For example, in the case of the  --wipe  command  line
          option,  its  dest  is  configured  to  be  ssh_wipe and thus this is what should be configured in the
          Saltfile.  Using the names of flags for this option, being wipe: True or w: True, will not work.

       NOTE:
          For the Saltfile to be automatically detected it needs to be named Saltfile with a capital  S  and  be
          readable by the user running salt-ssh.

       At last you can create ~/.salt/Saltfile and salt-ssh will automatically load it by default.

   Advanced options with salt-ssh
       Salt's  ability  to  allow  users  to  have  custom grains and custom modules is also applicable to using
       salt-ssh. This is done through first packing the custom  grains  into  the  thin  tarball  before  it  is
       deployed on the system.

       For  this  to  happen,  the  config  file must be explicit enough to indicate where the custom grains are
       located on the machine like so:

          file_client: local
          file_roots:
            base:
              - /home/user/.salt
              - /home/user/.salt/_states
              - /home/user/.salt/_grains
          module_dirs:
            - /home/user/.salt
          pillar_roots:
            base:
              - /home/user/.salt/_pillar
          root_dir: /tmp/.salt-root

       It's better to be explicit rather than implicit in this situation. This will allow urls all under salt://
       to be resolved such as salt://_grains/custom_grain.py.

       One can confirm this  action  by  executing  a  properly  setup  salt-ssh  minion  with  salt-ssh  minion
       grains.items.  During  this  process,  a  saltutil.sync_all  is ran to discover the thin tarball and then
       consumed. Output similar to this indicates a successful sync with custom grains.

          local:
              ----------
              ...
              executors:
              grains:
                  - grains.custom_grain
              log_handlers:
              ...

       This is especially important when using a custom file_roots that differ from /etc/salt/.

       NOTE:
          Please see https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/grains/ for more  information  on  grains  and
          custom grains.

   Debugging salt-ssh
       One  common  approach  for  debugging salt-ssh is to simply use the tarball that salt ships to the remote
       machine and call salt-call directly.

       To determine the location of salt-call, simply run salt-ssh with the -ltrace flag and  look  for  a  line
       containing the string, SALT_ARGV. This contains the salt-call command that salt-ssh attempted to execute.

       It  is  recommended  that one modify this command a bit by removing the -l quiet, --metadata and --output
       json to get a better idea of what's going on the target system.

   Salt Rosters
       Salt rosters are pluggable systems added in Salt 0.17.0 to facilitate the salt-ssh  system.   The  roster
       system  was  created  because  salt-ssh  needs  a means to identify which systems need to be targeted for
       execution.

       SEE ALSO:
          all-salt.roster

       NOTE:
          The Roster System is not needed or used in standard Salt because  the  master  does  not  need  to  be
          initially aware of target systems, since the Salt Minion checks itself into the master.

       Since  the  roster  system  is pluggable, it can be easily augmented to attach to any existing systems to
       gather information about what servers are presently available and should be attached to by  salt-ssh.  By
       default the roster file is located at /etc/salt/roster.

   How Rosters Work
       The  roster  system compiles a data structure internally referred to as targets. The targets is a list of
       target systems and attributes about how to connect to said systems. The only  requirement  for  a  roster
       module in Salt is to return the targets data structure.

   Targets Data
       The information which can be stored in a roster target is the following:

          <Salt ID>:       # The id to reference the target system with
              host:        # The IP address or DNS name of the remote host
              user:        # The user to log in as
              passwd:      # The password to log in with

              # Optional parameters
              port:        # The target system's ssh port number
              sudo:        # Boolean to run command via sudo
              sudo_user:   # Str: Set this to execute Salt as a sudo user other than root.
                           # This user must be in the same system group as the remote user
                           # that is used to login and is specified above. Alternatively,
                           # the user must be a super-user.
              tty:         # Boolean: Set this option to True if sudo is also set to
                           # True and requiretty is also set on the target system
              priv:        # File path to ssh private key, defaults to salt-ssh.rsa
                           # The priv can also be set to agent-forwarding to not specify
                           # a key, but use ssh agent forwarding
              priv_passwd: # Passphrase for ssh private key
              timeout:     # Number of seconds to wait for response when establishing
                           # an SSH connection
              minion_opts: # Dictionary of minion opts
              thin_dir:    # The target system's storage directory for Salt
                           # components. Defaults to /tmp/salt-<hash>.
              cmd_umask:   # umask to enforce for the salt-call command. Should be in
                           # octal (so for 0o077 in YAML you would do 0077, or 63)
              ssh_pre_flight: # Path to a script that will run before all other salt-ssh
                              # commands. Will only run the first time when the thin dir
                              # does not exist, unless --pre-flight is passed to salt-ssh
                              # command or ssh_run_pre_flight is set to true in the config
                              # Added in 3001 Release.
              set_path:    # Set the path environment variable, to ensure the expected python
                           # binary is in the salt-ssh path, when running the command.
                           # Example: '$PATH:/usr/local/bin/'. Added in 3001 Release.
              ssh_options: # List of options (as 'option=argument') to pass to ssh.

   ssh_pre_flight
       A  Salt-SSH  roster option ssh_pre_flight was added in the 3001 release. This enables you to run a script
       before Salt-SSH tries to run any commands. You can set this option in the roster for a specific minion or
       use the roster_defaults to set it for all minions.  This script will only run if  the  thin  dir  is  not
       currently on the minion. This means it will only run on the first run of salt-ssh or if you have recently
       wiped out your thin dir. If you want to intentionally run the script again you have a couple of options:

       • Wipe out your thin dir by using the -w salt-ssh arg.

       • Set ssh_run_pre_flight to True in the config

       • Run salt-ssh with the --pre-flight arg.

   Target Defaults
       The  roster_defaults  dictionary  in  the  master  config  is used to set the default login variables for
       minions in the roster so that the same arguments do not need to be passed with commandline arguments.

          roster_defaults:
            user: daniel
            sudo: True
            priv: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            tty: True

   thin_dir
       Salt  needs  to  upload  a  standalone  environment  to  the  target  system,  and   this   defaults   to
       /tmp/salt-<hash>. This directory will be cleaned up per normal systems operation.

       If you need a persistent Salt environment, for instance to set persistent grains, this value will need to
       be changed.

   SSH Ext Alternatives
       In  the 2019.2.0 release the ssh_ext_alternatives feature was added.  This allows salt-ssh to work across
       different supported python versions. You will need to ensure you have the following:

          • Salt is installed, with all required dependnecies for the Python version.

          • Everything needs to be importable from the respective Python environment.

       To enable using this feature you will need to edit the master configuration similar to below:

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  dependencies:           # List of dependencies and their installation paths
                    jinja2: /opt/jinja2
                    yaml: /opt/yaml
                    tornado: /opt/tornado
                    msgpack: /opt/msgpack
                    certifi: /opt/certifi
                    singledispatch: /opt/singledispatch.py
                    singledispatch_helpers: /opt/singledispatch_helpers.py
                    markupsafe: /opt/markupsafe
                    backports_abc: /opt/backports_abc.py

       WARNING:
          When using Salt versions >= 3001 and Python 2 is your py-version you need to use an older  version  of
          Salt  that  supports  Python  2.   For  example, if using Salt-SSH version 3001 and you do not want to
          install Python 3 on your target host you can use ssh_ext_alternatives's path option. This option needs
          to point to a 2019.2.3 Salt installation directory on your Salt-SSH host, which still supports  Python
          2.

   auto_detect
       In  the 3001 release the auto_detect feature was added for ssh_ext_alternatives.  This allows salt-ssh to
       automatically detect the path to all of your dependencies and does not require you to define  them  under
       dependencies.

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  auto_detect: True       # Auto detect dependencies
                  py_bin: /usr/bin/python2.7 # Python binary path used to auto detect dependencies

       If  py_bin  is  not  set alongside auto_detect, it will attempt to auto detect the dependnecies using the
       major version set in py-version. For example if you have [2, 7] set as your py-version, it  will  attempt
       to use the binary python2.

       You can also use auto_detect and dependencies together.

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  auto_detect: True       # Auto detect dependencies
                  py_bin: /usr/bin/python2.7 # Python binary path to auto detect dependencies
                  dependencies:           # List of dependencies and their installation paths
                    jinja2: /opt/jinja2

       If a dependency is defined in the dependecies list ssh_ext_alternatives will use this dependency, instead
       of  the  path  that auto_detect finds. For example, if you define /opt/jinja2 under your dependencies for
       jinja2, it will not try to autodetect the file path to the jinja2 module, and will favor /opt/jinja2.

   Different Python Versions
       The 3001 release removed python 2 support in Salt. Even though this python 2 support is being dropped  we
       have provided multiple ways to work around this with Salt-SSH. You can use the following options:

          • ssh_pre_flight

          • Using the Salt-SSH raw shell calls to install Python3.

          • Use  an  older version of Salt on the target host that still supports Python 2 using the feature SSH
            ext alternatives

THORIUM COMPLEX REACTOR

       The original Salt Reactor is based on the idea of listening for a specific event and then reacting to it.
       This model comes with many logical limitations, for instance it is very difficult (and hacky) to  fire  a
       reaction based on aggregate data or based on multiple events.

       The  Thorium  reactor  is  intended  to  alleviate  this problem in a very elegant way.  Instead of using
       extensive jinja routines or complex python sls files the aggregation of data  and  the  determination  of
       what should run becomes isolated to the sls data logic, makes the definitions much cleaner.

   Starting the Thorium Engine
       To  enable  the thorium engine add the following configuration to the engines section of your Salt Master
       or Minion configuration file and restart the daemon:

          engines:
            - thorium: {}

   Thorium Modules
       Because of its specialized nature, Thorium uses its own set of modules. However, many  of  these  modules
       are designed to wrap the more commonly-used Salt subsystems. These modules are:

       • local: Execution modules

       • runner: Runner modules

       • wheel: Wheel modules

       There  are  other modules that ship with Thorium as well. Some of these will be highlighted later in this
       document.

   Writing Thorium Formulas
       Like some other Salt subsystems, Thorium uses its own directory structure. The default location for  this
       structure  is  /srv/thorium/,  but  it  can  be  changed  using  the  thorium_roots setting in the master
       configuration file.

       This would explicitly set the roots to the default:

          thorium_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/thorium

       Example thorium_roots configuration:

          thorium_roots:
            base:
              - /etc/salt/thorium

       It is also possible to use gitfs with Thorium, using the thoriumenv or thorium_top settings.

       Example using thorium_top:

          thorium_top: salt://thorium/top.sls
          gitfs_provider: pygit2

          gitfs_remotes:
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: salt-backend
              - root: salt
              - base: master
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: thorium-backend
              - root: thorium
              - base: master
              - mountpoint: salt://thorium

       NOTE:
          When using this method don't forget to prepend the mountpoint  to  files  served  by  this  repo,  for
          example top.sls:

              base:
                '*':
                  - thorium.key_clean

       Example using thoriumenv:

          thoriumenv: thorium
          gitfs_provider: pygit2

          gitfs_remotes:
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: salt-backend
              - root: salt
              - base: master
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: thorium-backend
              - root: thorium
              - saltenv:
                - thorium:
                  - ref: master

       NOTE:
          When using this method all state will run under the defined environment, for example top.sls:

              thorium:
                '*':
                  - key_clean

   The Thorium top.sls File
       Thorium uses its own top.sls file, which follows the same convention as is found in /srv/salt/:

          <srv>:
            <target>:
              - <formula 1>
              - <formula 2>
              - <etc...>

       For  instance, a top.sls using a standard base environment and a single Thorium formula called key_clean,
       would look like:

          base:
            '*':
              - key_clean

       Take note that the target in a Thorium top.sls is not used; it only exists to follow the same  convention
       as other top.sls files. Leave this set to '*' in your own Thorium top.sls.

   Thorium Formula Files
       Thorium  SLS  files  are processed by the same state compiler that processes Salt state files. This means
       that features like requisites, templates, and so on are available.

       Let's take a look at an example, and then discuss each component of it.  This  formula  uses  Thorium  to
       detect  when  a  minion has disappeared and then deletes the key from the master when the minion has been
       gone for 60 seconds:

          statreg:
            status.reg

          keydel:
            key.timeout:
              - delete: 60
              - require:
                - status: statreg

       There are two stanzas in this formula, whose IDs are statreg and keydel. The first stanza, statreg, tells
       Thorium to keep track of minion status beacons in its register. We'll talk more about the register  in  a
       moment.

       The  second  stanza,  keydel,  is  the  one  that  does the real work. It uses the key module to apply an
       expiration (using the timeout function) to a minion. Because delete is set to 60, this  is  a  60  second
       expiration.  If  a  minion does not check in at least once every 60 seconds, its key will be deleted from
       the master. This particular function also allows you to use reject instead  of  delete,  allowing  for  a
       minion to be rejected instead of deleted if it does not check in within the specified time period.

       There  is  also  a  require requisite in this stanza. It states that the key.timeout function will not be
       called unless the status.reg function in the statreg codeblock has been successfully called first.

   Thorium Links to Beacons
       The above example was added in the 2016.11.0 release of Salt and makes use  of  the  status  beacon  also
       added  in  the  2016.11.0 release. For the above Thorium state to function properly you will also need to
       enable the status beacon in the minion configuration file:

          beacons:
            status:
              - interval: 10

       This will cause the minion to use the status beacon to check in with the master every 10 seconds.

   The Thorium Register
       In order to keep track of information, Thorium uses an  in-memory  register  (or  rather,  collection  of
       registers) on the master. These registers are only populated when told to by a formula, and they normally
       will  be  erased when the master is restarted. It is possible to persist the registers to disk, but we'll
       get to that in a moment.

       The example above uses status.reg to populate a register for you, which  is  automatically  used  by  the
       key.timeout function. However, you can set your own register values as well, using the reg module.

       Because  Thorium  watches  the event bus, the reg module is designed to look for user-specified tags, and
       then extract data from the payload of events that match those tags. For instance,  the  following  stanza
       will look for an event with a tag of my/custom/event:

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event

       When  such  an  event  is  found, the data found in the payload dictionary key of bar will be stored in a
       register called foo. This register will store that data in a list. You may also use reg.set to  add  data
       to a set() instead.

       If  you  would  like  to  see a copy of the register as it is stored in memory, you can use the file.save
       function:

          myreg:
            file.save

       In  this  case,  each  time  the  register  is  updated,  a  copy  will  be  saved  in  JSON  format   at
       /var/cache/salt/master/thorium/saves/myreg.  If you would like to see when particular events are added to
       a list-type register, you may add a stamp option to reg.list  (but  not  reg.set).  With  the  above  two
       stanzas put together, this would look like:

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event
              - stamp: True

          myreg:
            file.save

       If  you  would like to only keep a certain number of the most recent register entries, you may also add a
       prune option to reg.list (but not reg.set):

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event
              - stamp: True
              - prune: 50

       This example will only keep the 50 most recent entries in the foo register.

   Using Register Data
       Putting data in a register is useless if you don't do anything with it. The check module is  designed  to
       examine  register  data  and  determine  whether  it  matches  the  given  parameters.  For instance, the
       check.contains function will return True if the given value is contained in the specified register:

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event
              - stamp: True
              - prune: 50
            check.contains:
              - value: somedata

       Used with a require requisite, we can call one of the wrapper  modules  and  perform  an  operation.  For
       example:

          shell_test:
            local.cmd:
              - tgt: dufresne
              - func: cmd.run
              - arg:
                - echo 'thorium success' > /tmp/thorium.txt
              - require:
                - check: foo

       This stanza will only run if the check.contains function under the foo ID returns true (meaning the match
       was found).

       There are a number of other functions in the check module which use different means of comparing values:

       • gt: Check whether the register entry is greater than the given value

       • gte: Check whether the register entry is greater than or equal to the given value

       • lt: Check whether the register entry is less than the given value

       • lte: Check whether the register entry is less than or equal to the given value

       • eq: Check whether the register entry is equal to the given value

       • ne: Check whether the register entry is not equal to the given value

       There  is  also  a  function  called  check.event  which does not examine the register. Instead, it looks
       directly at an event as it is coming in on the event bus, and returns True if that event's  tag  matches.
       For example:

          salt/foo/*/bar:
            check.event

          run_remote_ex:
            local.cmd:
              - tgt: '*'
              - func: test.version
              - require:
                - check: salt/foo/*/bar

       This  formula  will  look  for  an event whose tag is salt/foo/<anything>/bar and if it comes in, issue a
       test.version to all minions.

   Register Persistence
       It is possible to persist the register data to disk when a master is stopped gracefully,  and  reload  it
       from  disk when the master starts up again. This functionality is provided by the returner subsystem, and
       is enabled whenever any returner containing a load_reg and a save_reg function is used.

SALT CLOUD

   Configuration
       Salt Cloud provides a powerful interface  to  interact  with  cloud  hosts.  This  interface  is  tightly
       integrated  with  Salt,  and  new  virtual machines are automatically connected to your Salt master after
       creation.

       Since Salt Cloud is designed to be an automated system, most configuration is done  using  the  following
       YAML configuration files:

       • /etc/salt/cloud:  The  main configuration file, contains global settings that apply to all cloud hosts.
         See Salt Cloud Configuration.

       • /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf: Contains settings that configure a specific  cloud  host,  such  as
         credentials,  region  settings,  and so on. Since configuration varies significantly between each cloud
         host, a separate file should be created for each cloud host. In Salt Cloud, a  provider  is  synonymous
         with a cloud host (Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine, Rackspace, and so on).  See Provider Specifics.

       • /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:  Contains settings that define a specific VM type. A profile defines
         the systems specs and image, and any other settings that are specific to this VM type. Each specific VM
         type is called a profile, and multiple profiles can  be  defined  in  a  profile  file.   Each  profile
         references  a  parent  provider  that  defines  the cloud host in which the VM is created (the provider
         settings are in the provider configuration explained above).  Based on your  needs,  you  might  define
         different profiles for web servers, database servers, and so on. See VM Profiles.

   Configuration Inheritance
       Configuration settings are inherited in order from the cloud config => providers => profile.  [image]

       For  example,  if  you wanted to use the same image for all virtual machines for a specific provider, the
       image name could be placed in the provider file. This value is inherited by all profiles  that  use  that
       provider, but is overridden if a image name is defined in the profile.

       Most  configuration  settings  can  be defined in any file, the main difference being how that setting is
       inherited.

   QuickStart
       The Salt Cloud Quickstart walks you through defining a provider, a VM  profile,  and  shows  you  how  to
       create virtual machines using Salt Cloud.

       Note  that  if  you installed Salt via Salt Bootstrap, it may not have automatically installed salt-cloud
       for you. Use your distribution's package manager to install the salt-cloud package  from  the  same  repo
       that you used to install Salt.  These repos will automatically be setup by Salt Bootstrap.

       Alternatively,  the  -L  option  can  be passed to the Salt Bootstrap script when installing Salt. The -L
       option will install salt-cloud and the required libcloud package.

          salt-cloud -m /etc/salt/cloud.map NAME1 NAME2

          salt-cloud -p PROFILE NAME

          salt-cloud -p PROFILE NAME1 NAME2 NAME3 NAME4 NAME5 NAME6

   Description
       Salt Cloud is the system used to provision virtual machines  on  various  public  clouds  via  a  cleanly
       controlled profile and mapping system.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The  location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory contains the configuration files
              for Salt master and minions. The default location on most systems is /etc/salt.

   Execution Options
       -L LOCATION, --location=LOCATION
              Specify which region to connect to.

       -a ACTION, --action=ACTION
              Perform an action that may be specific to this cloud provider. This argument requires one or  more
              instance names to be specified.

       -f <FUNC-NAME> <PROVIDER>, --function=<FUNC-NAME> <PROVIDER>
              Perform  an  function  that  may  be  specific  to  this cloud provider, that does not apply to an
              instance. This argument requires a provider to be specified (i.e.: nova).

       -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE
              Select a single profile to build the named cloud VMs from. The profile  must  be  defined  in  the
              specified profiles file.

       -m MAP, --map=MAP
              Specify  a map file to use. If used without any other options, this option will ensure that all of
              the mapped VMs are created. If the named VM already exists then it will be skipped.

       -H, --hard
              When specifying a map file, the default behavior is to ensure that all of the VMs specified in the
              map file are created. If the --hard option is set, then any VMs that  exist  on  configured  cloud
              providers  that are not specified in the map file will be destroyed. Be advised that this can be a
              destructive operation and should be used with care.

       -d, --destroy
              Pass in the name(s) of VMs to destroy, salt-cloud will search the configured cloud  providers  for
              the  specified  names  and  destroy  the  VMs. Be advised that this is a destructive operation and
              should be used with care. Can be used in conjunction with the -m option to specify a map of VMs to
              be deleted.

       -P, --parallel
              Normally when building many cloud VMs they are executed serially. The  -P  option  will  run  each
              cloud vm build in a separate process allowing for large groups of VMs to be build at once.

              Be  advised  that some cloud provider's systems don't seem to be well suited for this influx of vm
              creation. When creating large groups of VMs watch the cloud provider carefully.

       -u, --update-bootstrap
              Update salt-bootstrap to the latest stable bootstrap release.

       -y, --assume-yes
              Default yes in answer to all confirmation questions.

       -k, --keep-tmp
              Do not remove files from /tmp/ after deploy.sh finishes.

       --show-deploy-args
              Include the options used to deploy the minion in the data returned.

       --script-args=SCRIPT_ARGS
              Script arguments to be fed to the bootstrap script when deploying the VM.

   Query Options

              Execute a query and return some information about the nodes running on configured cloud providers

       -F, --full-query
              Execute a query and print out all available information about all  cloud  VMs.   Can  be  used  in
              conjunction with -m to display only information about the specified map.

       -S, --select-query
              Execute  a  query  and  print  out  selected  information  about  all  cloud  VMs.  Can be used in
              conjunction with -m to display only information about the specified map.

       --list-providers
              Display a list of configured providers.

       --list-profiles
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Display a list of configured profiles. Pass in a cloud provider to view the provider's  associated
              profiles, such as digitalocean, or pass in all to list all the configured profiles.

   Cloud Providers Listings
       --list-locations=LIST_LOCATIONS
              Display  a list of locations available in configured cloud providers. Pass the cloud provider that
              available locations are desired on, such as "linode", or pass "all"  to  list  locations  for  all
              configured cloud providers

       --list-images=LIST_IMAGES
              Display  a  list  of  images available in configured cloud providers. Pass the cloud provider that
              available images are desired on, such as "linode", or pass "all" to list images for all configured
              cloud providers

       --list-sizes=LIST_SIZES
              Display a list of sizes available in configured cloud providers.  Pass  the  cloud  provider  that
              available  sizes  are  desired  on,  such as "AWS", or pass "all" to list sizes for all configured
              cloud providers

   Cloud Credentials
       --set-password=<USERNAME> <PROVIDER>
              Configure password for a cloud provider and save it to the keyring.   PROVIDER  can  be  specified
              with  or  without  a  driver,  for  example:  "--set-password  bob  rackspace"  or  more  specific
              "--set-password bob rackspace:openstack" DEPRECATED!

   Output Options
       --out  Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any  of  the
              available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some  outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.  If an outputter is
              used that does not support the data passed into it,  then  Salt  will  fall  back  on  the  pprint
              outputter and display the return data using the Python pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print  the  output  indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable indentation.
              Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and yellow denotes
                 a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override the configured state_output value for minion output. One  of  'full',  'terse',  'mixed',
              'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override  the  configured  state_verbose  value  for minion output. Set to True or False. Default:
              none.

   Examples
       To create 4 VMs named web1, web2, db1, and db2 from specified profiles:

          salt-cloud -p fedora_rackspace web1 web2 db1 db2

       To read in a map file and create all VMs specified therein:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map

       To read in a map file and create all VMs specified therein in parallel:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -P

       To delete any VMs specified in the map file:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -d

       To delete any VMs NOT specified in the map file:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -H

       To display the status of all VMs specified in the map file:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -Q

   Salt Cloud basic usage
       Salt Cloud needs, at least, one configured Provider and Profile to be functional.

   Creating a VM
       To create a VM with salt cloud, use command:

          salt-cloud -p <profile> name_of_vm

       Assuming there is a profile configured as following:

          fedora_rackspace:
              provider: my-rackspace-config
              image: Fedora 17
              size: 256 server
              script: bootstrap-salt

       Then, the command to create new VM named fedora_http_01 is:

          salt-cloud -p fedora_rackspace fedora_http_01

   Destroying a VM
       To destroy a created-by-salt-cloud VM, use command:

          salt-cloud -d name_of_vm

       For example, to delete the VM created on above example, use:

          salt-cloud -d fedora_http_01

   VM Profiles
       Salt cloud designates virtual machines inside the profile configuration file.  The profile  configuration
       file  defaults to /etc/salt/cloud.profiles and is a yaml configuration. The syntax for declaring profiles
       is simple:

          fedora_rackspace:
              provider: my-rackspace-config
              image: Fedora 17
              size: 256 server
              script: bootstrap-salt

       It should be noted that the script option defaults to bootstrap-salt, and does not normally  need  to  be
       specified. Further examples in this document will not show the script option.

       A  few key pieces of information need to be declared and can change based on the cloud provider. A number
       of additional parameters can also be inserted:

          centos_rackspace:
            provider: my-rackspace-config
            image: CentOS 6.2
            size: 1024 server
            minion:
              master: salt.example.com
              append_domain: webs.example.com
              grains:
                role: webserver

       The image must be selected from available images. Similarly, sizes must be  selected  from  the  list  of
       sizes. To get a list of available images and sizes use the following command:

          salt-cloud --list-images openstack
          salt-cloud --list-sizes openstack

       Some  parameters  can  be specified in the main Salt cloud configuration file and then are applied to all
       cloud profiles. For instance if only a single cloud provider is being used then the provider  option  can
       be declared in the Salt cloud configuration file.

   Multiple Configuration Files
       In   addition  to  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles,  profiles  can  also  be  specified  in  any  file  matching
       cloud.profiles.d/*conf which is a sub-directory relative to  the  profiles  configuration  file(with  the
       above  configuration  file  as  an  example,  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf).   This  allows for more
       extensible configuration, and plays nicely with various configuration management tools as well as version
       control systems.

   Larger Example
          rhel_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: t1.micro
            minion:
              cheese: edam

          ubuntu_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-7e2da54e
            size: t1.micro
            minion:
              cheese: edam

          ubuntu_rackspace:
            provider: my-rackspace-config
            image: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
            size: 256 server
            minion:
              cheese: edam

          fedora_rackspace:
            provider: my-rackspace-config
            image: Fedora 17
            size: 256 server
            minion:
              cheese: edam

          cent_linode:
            provider: my-linode-config
            image: CentOS 6.2 64bit
            size: Linode 512

          cent_gogrid:
            provider: my-gogrid-config
            image: 12834
            size: 512MB

          cent_joyent:
            provider: my-joyent-config
            image: centos-7
            size: g4-highram-16G

   Cloud Map File
       A number of options exist when creating virtual machines. They can be managed directly from profiles  and
       the  command  line execution, or a more complex map file can be created. The map file allows for a number
       of virtual machines to be created and associated with specific profiles. The map file is designed  to  be
       run once to create these more complex scenarios using salt-cloud.

       Map  files  have a simple format, specify a profile and then a list of virtual machines to make from said
       profile:

          fedora_small:
            - web1
            - web2
            - web3
          fedora_high:
            - redis1
            - redis2
            - redis3
          cent_high:
            - riak1
            - riak2
            - riak3

       This map file can then be called to roll out all of these virtual machines. Map files are called from the
       salt-cloud command with the -m option:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile

       Remember, that as with direct profile provisioning the -P option can be  passed  to  create  the  virtual
       machines in parallel:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -P

       NOTE:
          Due  to  limitations  in  the  GoGrid API, instances cannot be provisioned in parallel with the GoGrid
          driver. Map files will work with GoGrid, but the -P argument should not be used  on  maps  referencing
          GoGrid instances.

       A  map  file  can also be enforced to represent the total state of a cloud deployment by using the --hard
       option. When using the hard option any vms that exist but are not specified  in  the  map  file  will  be
       destroyed:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -P -H

       Be careful with this argument, it is very dangerous! In fact, it is so dangerous that in order to use it,
       you must explicitly enable it in the main configuration file.

          enable_hard_maps: True

       A map file can include grains and minion configuration options:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                minion:
                  log_level: debug
                grains:
                  cheese: tasty
                  omelet: du fromage
            - web2:
                minion:
                  log_level: warn
                grains:
                  cheese: more tasty
                  omelet: with peppers

       Any top level data element from your profile may be overridden in the map file:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                size: t2.micro
            - web2:
                size: t2.nano

       As  of Salt 2017.7.0, nested elements are merged, and can can be specified individually without having to
       repeat the complete definition for each top level data  element.  In  this  example  a  separate  MAC  is
       assigned  to  each  VMware  instance  while  inheriting  device  parameters  for  for  disk  and  network
       configuration:

          nyc-vm:
            - db1:
                devices:
                  network:
                    Network Adapter 1:
                      mac: '44:44:44:44:44:41'
            - db2:
                devices:
                  network:
                    Network Adapter 1:
                      mac: '44:44:44:44:44:42'

       A map file may also be used with the various query options:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -Q
          {'ec2': {'web1': {'id': 'i-e6aqfegb',
                               'image': None,
                               'private_ips': [],
                               'public_ips': [],
                               'size': None,
                               'state': 0}},
                   'web2': {'Absent'}}

       ...or with the delete option:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -d
          The following virtual machines are set to be destroyed:
            web1
            web2

          Proceed? [N/y]

       WARNING:
          Specifying Nodes with Maps on the Command Line Specifying the name of a node or nodes  with  the  maps
          options  on  the  command  line  is not supported. This is especially important to remember when using
          --destroy with maps; salt-cloud will ignore any arguments passed in which are not directly relevant to
          the map file. When using ``--destroy`` with a map, every node in the map file will be  deleted!   Maps
          don't  provide  any  useful  information  for  destroying  individual nodes, and should not be used to
          destroy a subset of a map.

   Requiring Other Instances
       The requires directive can be used in map files to ensure that one  instance  is  created  and  available
       before another is created.

          fedora_high:
            - db1:
                size: m5.xlarge
            - web1:
                size: m5.large
                requires:
                  - db1

       This  requisite  is  passed  to  the  instance  definition dicitonary in a map file and accepts a list of
       instance names as defined in the map.

   Setting up New Salt Masters
       Bootstrapping a new master in the map is as simple as:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                make_master: True
            - web2
            - web3

       Notice that ALL bootstrapped minions from the map will answer to the newly created salt-master.

       To make any of the bootstrapped minions answer to the bootstrapping salt-master as opposed to  the  newly
       created salt-master, as an example:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                make_master: True
                minion:
                  master: <the local master ip address>
                  local_master: True
            - web2
            - web3

       The  above says the minion running on the newly created salt-master responds to the local master, ie, the
       master used to bootstrap these VMs.

       Another example:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                make_master: True
            - web2
            - web3:
                minion:
                  master: <the local master ip address>
                  local_master: True

       The above example makes the web3 minion answer to the local master, not the newly created master.

   Using Direct Map Data
       When using modules that access  the  CloudClient  directly  (notably,  the  cloud  execution  and  runner
       modules), it is possible to pass in the contents of a map file, rather than a path to the location of the
       map file.

       Normally when using these modules, the path to the map file is passed in using:

          salt-run cloud.map_run /path/to/cloud.map

       To pass in the actual map data, use the map_data argument:

          salt-run cloud.map_run map_data='{"centos7": [{"saltmaster": {"minion": \
              {"transport": "tcp"}, "make_master": true, "master": {"transport": \
              "tcp"}}}, {"minion001": {"minion": {"transport": "tcp"}}}]}'

   Cloud Actions
       Once  a  VM  has  been  created,  there are a number of actions that can be performed on it. The "reboot"
       action can be used across all providers, but all other actions are specific to  the  cloud  provider.  In
       order  to perform an action, you may specify it from the command line, including the name(s) of the VM to
       perform the action on:

          $ salt-cloud -a reboot vm_name
          $ salt-cloud -a reboot vm1 vm2 vm2

       Or you may specify a map which includes all VMs to perform the action on:

          $ salt-cloud -a reboot -m /path/to/mapfile

       The following is an example list of actions currently supported by salt-cloud:

          all providers:
              - reboot
          ec2:
              - start
              - stop
          joyent:
              - stop
          linode:
              - start
              - stop

       Another useful reference for viewing more salt-cloud actions is the Salt Cloud Feature Matrix.

   Cloud Functions
       Cloud functions work much the same way as cloud actions, except that they don't perform an operation on a
       specific instance, and so do not need a machine name to be specified.  However,  since  they  perform  an
       operation on a specific cloud provider, that provider must be specified.

          $ salt-cloud -f show_image ec2 image=ami-fd20ad94

       There  are three universal salt-cloud functions that are extremely useful for gathering information about
       instances on a provider basis:

       • list_nodes: Returns some general information about the instances for the given provider.

       • list_nodes_full: Returns all information about the instances for the given provider.

       • list_nodes_select: Returns select information about the instances for the given provider.

          $ salt-cloud -f list_nodes linode
          $ salt-cloud -f list_nodes_full linode
          $ salt-cloud -f list_nodes_select linode

       Another useful reference for viewing salt-cloud functions is the Salt Cloud Feature Matrix.

   Core Configuration
   Install Salt Cloud
       Salt Cloud is now part of Salt proper.  It was merged in as of Salt version 2014.1.0.

       On Ubuntu, install Salt Cloud by using following command:

          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saltstack/salt
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install salt-cloud

       If using Salt Cloud on macOS, curl-ca-bundle must be installed. Presently, this package is not  available
       via brew, but it is available using MacPorts:

          sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

       Salt   Cloud   depends  on  apache-libcloud.   Libcloud  can  be  installed  via  pip  with  pip  install
       apache-libcloud.

   Installing Salt Cloud for development
       Installing Salt for development enables Salt Cloud development as well, just make sure apache-libcloud is
       installed as per above paragraph.

       See these instructions: Installing Salt for development.

   Core Configuration
       A number of core configuration options and some options that are global to the VM profiles can be set  in
       the cloud configuration file. By default this file is located at /etc/salt/cloud.

   Thread Pool Size
       When  salt  cloud is operating in parallel mode via the -P argument, you can control the thread pool size
       by specifying the pool_size parameter with a positive integer value.

       By default, the thread pool size will be set to the number of VMs that salt cloud is operating on.

          pool_size: 10

   Minion Configuration
       The default minion configuration is set up in this file.  Minions  created  by  salt-cloud  derive  their
       configuration  from  this  file.  Almost  all parameters found in Configuring the Salt Minion can be used
       here.

          minion:
            master: saltmaster.example.com

       In particular, this is the location to specify the location of the salt master and its listening port, if
       the port is not set to the default.

       Similar to most other settings, Minion configuration settings are inherited across  configuration  files.
       For  example,  the master setting might be contained in the main cloud configuration file as demonstrated
       above, but additional settings can be placed in the provider, profile or map configuration files:

          ec2-web:
            size: t1.micro
            minion:
              environment: test
              startup_states: sls
              sls_list:
                - web

       When salt cloud creates a  new  minion,  it  can  automatically  add  grain  information  to  the  minion
       configuration file identifying the sources originally used to define it.

       The generated grain information will appear similar to:

          grains:
            salt-cloud:
              driver: ec2
              provider: my_ec2:ec2
              profile: ec2-web

       The  generation  of  the salt-cloud grain can be suppressed by the option enable_cloud_grains: 'False' in
       the cloud configuration file.

   Cloud Configuration Syntax
       The data specific to interacting with public clouds is set up here.

       Cloud provider configuration settings can live in several places. The first is in /etc/salt/cloud:

          # /etc/salt/cloud
          providers:
            my-aws-migrated-config:
              id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
              key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
              keyname: test
              securitygroup: quick-start
              private_key: /root/test.pem
              driver: ec2

       Cloud provider configuration data can also be housed in /etc/salt/cloud.providers or  any  file  matching
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf. All files in any of these locations will be parsed for cloud provider
       data.

       Using the example configuration above:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers
          # or could be /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf
          my-aws-config:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: quick-start
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

       NOTE:
          Salt  Cloud  provider  configurations  within  /etc/cloud.provider.d/ should not specify the providers
          starting key.

       It is also possible to have multiple cloud  configuration  blocks  within  the  same  alias  block.   For
       example:

          production-config:
            - id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
              key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
              keyname: test
              securitygroup: quick-start
              private_key: /root/test.pem
              driver: ec2

            - user: example_user
              apikey: 123984bjjas87034
              driver: rackspace

       However,  using  this  configuration  method  requires  a  change with profile configuration blocks.  The
       provider alias needs to have the provider key value appended as in the following example:

          rhel_aws_dev:
            provider: production-config:ec2
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: t1.micro

          rhel_aws_prod:
            provider: production-config:ec2
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: High-CPU Extra Large Instance

          database_prod:
            provider: production-config:rackspace
            image: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
            size: 256 server

       Notice that because of the multiple entries, one has to be explicit about the provider  alias  and  name,
       from the above example, production-config: ec2.

       This  data  interactions  with  the  salt-cloud  binary regarding its --list-location, --list-images, and
       --list-sizes which needs a cloud provider as an argument. The argument  used  should  be  the  configured
       cloud  provider  alias.  If  the  provider  alias has multiple entries, <provider-alias>: <provider-name>
       should be used.

       To   allow   for   a   more   extensible   configuration,   --providers-config,   which    defaults    to
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers, was added to the cli parser.  It allows for the providers' configuration to be
       added on a per-file basis.

   Pillar Configuration
       It  is  possible  to  configure  cloud  providers  using pillars. This is only used when inside the cloud
       module. You can setup a variable called cloud that contains your profile, provider, and map to pass  that
       information  to  the  cloud  servers instead of having to copy the full configuration to every minion. In
       your pillar file, you would use something like this:

          cloud:
            ssh_key_name: saltstack
            ssh_key_file: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            update_cachedir: True
            diff_cache_events: True

            providers:
              my-openstack:
                driver: openstack
                region_name: ORD
                cloud: mycloud

            profiles:
              ubuntu-openstack:
                provider: my-openstack
                size: ds512M
                image: CentOS 7
                script_args: git develop

            maps:
              my-dev-map:
                ubuntu-openstack:
                  - dev-test01
                  - dev-test02
                  - dev-test03
                  - dev-test04
              my-prd-map:
                ubuntu-openstack:
                  - prd-web01
                  - prd-web02
                      minion:
                        id: custom-minion-id-app1-stack1-frontend
                      grains:
                        roles:
                          - webserver
                        deployment: datacenter4-openstack
                  - prod-db01
                  - prod-db02

   Cloud Configurations
   Scaleway
       To use Salt Cloud with Scaleway, you need to get an access key and an API token. API  tokens  are  unique
       identifiers  associated with your Scaleway account.  To retrieve your access key and API token, log-in to
       the Scaleway control panel, open the pull-down menu on your account name and click  on  "My  Credentials"
       link.

       If  you  do  not have API token you can create one by clicking the "Create New Token" button on the right
       corner.

          my-scaleway-config:
            access_key: 15cf404d-4560-41b1-9a0c-21c3d5c4ff1f
            token: a7347ec8-5de1-4024-a5e3-24b77d1ba91d
            driver: scaleway

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-scaleway-config.

   Rackspace
       Rackspace cloud requires two configuration options; a user and an apikey:

          my-rackspace-config:
            user: example_user
            apikey: 123984bjjas87034
            driver: rackspace

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-rackspace-config.

   Amazon AWS
       A number of configuration options are required for Amazon AWS including id, key, keyname,  securitygroup,
       and private_key:

          my-aws-quick-start:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: quick-start
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

          my-aws-default:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: default
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be either provider: my-aws-quick-start or provider: my-aws-default.

   Linode
       Linode requires a single API key, but the default root password also needs to be set:

          my-linode-config:
            apikey: asldkgfakl;sdfjsjaslfjaklsdjf;askldjfaaklsjdfhasldsadfghdkf
            password: F00barbaz
            ssh_pubkey: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIKHEOLLbeXgaqRQT9NBAopVz366SdYc0KKX33vAnq+2R user@host
            ssh_key_file: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
            driver: linode

       The password needs to be 8 characters and contain lowercase, uppercase, and numbers.

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-linode-config

   Joyent Cloud
       The  Joyent cloud requires three configuration parameters: The username and password that are used to log
       into the Joyent system, as well as the location of  the  private  SSH  key  associated  with  the  Joyent
       account.  The  SSH  key  is  needed  to  send the provisioning commands up to the freshly created virtual
       machine.

          my-joyent-config:
            user: fred
            password: saltybacon
            private_key: /root/joyent.pem
            driver: joyent

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-joyent-config

   GoGrid
       To use Salt Cloud with GoGrid, log into the GoGrid web interface and  create  an  API  key.  Do  this  by
       clicking on "My Account" and then going to the API Keys tab.

       The  apikey  and  the  sharedsecret  configuration parameters need to be set in the configuration file to
       enable interfacing with GoGrid:

          my-gogrid-config:
            apikey: asdff7896asdh789
            sharedsecret: saltybacon
            driver: gogrid

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-gogrid-config.

   OpenStack
       Using Salt for OpenStack uses the shade <https://docs.openstack.org/shade/latest/> driver managed by  the
       openstack-infra team.

       This   driver   can   be  configured  using  the  /etc/openstack/clouds.yml  file  with  os-client-config
       <https://docs.openstack.org/os-client-config/latest/>

          myopenstack:
            driver: openstack
            region_name: RegionOne
            cloud: mycloud

       Or by just configuring the same auth block directly in the cloud provider config.

          myopenstack:
            driver: openstack
            region_name: RegionOne
            auth:
              username: 'demo'
              password: secret
              project_name: 'demo'
              auth_url: 'http://openstack/identity'

       Both         of         these         methods         support          using          the          vendor
       <https://docs.openstack.org/os-client-config/latest/user/vendor-support.html> options.

       For more information, look at Openstack Cloud Driver Docs

   DigitalOcean
       Using  Salt for DigitalOcean requires a client_key and an api_key. These can be found in the DigitalOcean
       web interface, in the "My Settings" section, under the API Access tab.

          my-digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            personal_access_token: xxx
            location: New York 1

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-digital-ocean-config.

   Parallels
       Using Salt with Parallels requires a user, password and URL.  These  can  be  obtained  from  your  cloud
       provider.

          my-parallels-config:
            user: myuser
            password: xyzzy
            url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/
            driver: parallels

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-parallels-config.

   Proxmox
       Using  Salt  with Proxmox requires a user, password, and URL. These can be obtained from your cloud host.
       Both PAM and PVE users can be used.

          my-proxmox-config:
            driver: proxmox
            user: saltcloud@pve
            password: xyzzy
            url: your.proxmox.host

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: my-proxmox-config.

   LXC
       The lxc driver uses saltify to install salt and attach the lxc container as a new lxc minion. As soon  as
       we can, we manage baremetal operation over SSH. You can also destroy those containers via this driver.

          devhost10-lxc:
            target: devhost10
            driver: lxc

       And in the map file:

          devhost10-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            from_container: ubuntu
            backing: lvm
            sudo: True
            size: 3g
            ip: 10.0.3.9
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506
            lxc_conf:
              - lxc.utsname: superlxc

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider required field
          would be provider: devhost10-lxc.

   Saltify
       The Saltify driver is a new, experimental driver designed to install Salt on a remote machine, virtual or
       bare  metal,  using SSH. This driver is useful for provisioning machines which are already installed, but
       not Salted. For more information about using this driver and for configuration examples, please  see  the
       Getting Started with Saltify documentation.

   Vagrant
       The  Vagrant  driver  is  a  new,  experimental  driver for controlling a VagrantBox virtual machine, and
       installing Salt on it. The target host machine must be a working salt minion, which is controlled via the
       salt master using salt-api.  For more information, see Getting Started With Vagrant.

   Extending Profiles and Cloud Providers Configuration
       As of 0.8.7, the option to  extend  both  the  profiles  and  cloud  providers  configuration  and  avoid
       duplication  was  added.  The extends feature works on the current profiles configuration, but, regarding
       the cloud providers configuration, only works in the new syntax and respective configuration files,  i.e.
       /etc/salt/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

       NOTE:
          Extending  cloud profiles and providers is not recursive. For example, a profile that is extended by a
          second profile is possible, but the second profile cannot be extended by a third profile.

          Also, if a profile (or provider) is extending another profile and each contains a list of values,  the
          lists  from  the extending profile will override the list from the original profile. The lists are not
          merged together.

   Extending Profiles
       Some  example  usage  on  how  to  use  extends  with  profiles.  Consider  /etc/salt/salt/cloud.profiles
       containing:

          development-instances:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: ec2_user
            securitygroup:
              - default
            deploy: False

          Amazon-Linux-AMI-2012.09-64bit:
            image: ami-54cf5c3d
            extends: development-instances

          Fedora-17:
            image: ami-08d97e61
            extends: development-instances

          CentOS-5:
            provider: my-aws-config
            image: ami-09b61d60
            extends: development-instances

       The above configuration, once parsed would generate the following profiles data:

          [
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "image": "ami-08d97e61",
                  "profile": "Fedora-17",
                  "provider": "my-ec2-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "image": "ami-09b61d60",
                  "profile": "CentOS-5",
                  "provider": "my-aws-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "image": "ami-54cf5c3d",
                  "profile": "Amazon-Linux-AMI-2012.09-64bit",
                  "provider": "my-ec2-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "profile": "development-instances",
                  "provider": "my-ec2-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
          ]

       Pretty cool right?

   Extending Providers
       Some  example  usage  on  how  to  use  extends  within  the  cloud  providers  configuration.   Consider
       /etc/salt/salt/cloud.providers containing:

          my-develop-envs:
            - id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
              key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
              keyname: test
              securitygroup: quick-start
              private_key: /root/test.pem
              location: ap-southeast-1
              availability_zone: ap-southeast-1b
              driver: ec2

            - user: myuser@mycorp.com
              password: mypass
              ssh_key_name: mykey
              ssh_key_file: '/etc/salt/ibm/mykey.pem'
              location: Raleigh
              driver: ibmsce

          my-productions-envs:
            - extends: my-develop-envs:ibmsce
              user: my-production-user@mycorp.com
              location: us-east-1
              availability_zone: us-east-1

       The above configuration, once parsed would generate the following providers data:

          {
              "providers": {
                  "my-develop-envs": [
                      {
                          "availability_zone": "ap-southeast-1b",
                          "id": "HJGRYCILJLKJYG",
                          "key": "kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn",
                          "keyname": "test",
                          "location": "ap-southeast-1",
                          "private_key": "/root/test.pem",
                          "driver": "aws",
                          "securitygroup": "quick-start",
                      },
                      {
                          "location": "Raleigh",
                          "password": "mypass",
                          "driver": "ibmsce",
                          "ssh_key_file": "/etc/salt/ibm/mykey.pem",
                          "ssh_key_name": "mykey",
                          "user": "myuser@mycorp.com",
                      },
                  ],

   Windows Configuration
   Spinning up Windows Minions
       It is possible to use Salt Cloud to spin up Windows instances,  and  then  install  Salt  on  them.  This
       functionality  is  available on all cloud providers that are supported by Salt Cloud. However, it may not
       necessarily be available on all Windows images.

   Requirements
       NOTE:
          Support winexe and impacket has been deprecated and will be removed in 3001.  These  dependencies  are
          replaced  by  pypsexec  and  smbprotocol  respectivly.  These  are  pure  python alternatives that are
          compatible with all supported python versions.

       Salt Cloud makes use of impacket and winexe to set up the Windows Salt Minion installer.

       impacket is usually available as either the impacket or the python-impacket  package,  depending  on  the
       distribution. More information on impacket can be found at the project home:

       • impacket project home

       winexe  is less commonly available in distribution-specific repositories.  However, it is currently being
       built for various distributions in 3rd party channels:

       • RPMs at pbone.netopenSUSE Build Servicepypsexec project homesmbprotocol project home

       Optionally WinRM can be used instead of winexe if the python module pywinrm is  available  and  WinRM  is
       supported on the target Windows version. Information on pywinrm can be found at the project home:

       • pywinrm project home

       Additionally,  a  copy  of  the Salt Minion Windows installer must be present on the system on which Salt
       Cloud is running. This installer may be downloaded from saltstack.com:

       • SaltStack Download Area

   Self Signed Certificates with WinRM
       Salt-Cloud can use versions of pywinrm<=0.1.1 or pywinrm>=0.2.1.

       For versions greater than 0.2.1, winrm_verify_ssl needs to be set to False if  the  certificate  is  self
       signed and not verifiable.

   Firewall Settings
       Because  Salt  Cloud  makes  use of smbclient and winexe, port 445 must be open on the target image. This
       port is not generally open by default on a standard Windows distribution, and care must be taken  to  use
       an image in which this port is open, or the Windows firewall is disabled.

       If  supported  by the cloud provider, a PowerShell script may be used to open up this port automatically,
       using the cloud provider's userdata. The following script would open up port 445, and apply the changes:

          <powershell>
          New-NetFirewallRule -Name "SMB445" -DisplayName "SMB445" -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 445
          Set-Item (dir wsman:\localhost\Listener\*\Port -Recurse).pspath 445 -Force
          Restart-Service winrm
          </powershell>

       For EC2, this script may be saved as a file, and specified in the provider or  profile  configuration  as
       userdata_file. For instance:

          my-ec2-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1

       NOTE:
          From  versions 2016.11.0 and 2016.11.3, this file was passed through the master's renderer to template
          it. However, this caused issues with non-YAML data, so templating is no longer performed  by  default.
          To template the userdata_file, add a userdata_template option to the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1
                userdata_template: jinja

          If no userdata_template is set in the cloud profile, then the master configuration will be checked for
          a  userdata_template  value.   If  this  is  not  set,  then  no  templating  will be performed on the
          userdata_file.

          To disable templating in a cloud  profile  when  a  userdata_template  has  been  set  in  the  master
          configuration file, simply set userdata_template to False in the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1
                userdata_template: False

       If you are using WinRM on EC2 the HTTPS port for the WinRM service must also be enabled in your userdata.
       By  default  EC2 Windows images only have insecure HTTP enabled. To enable HTTPS and basic authentication
       required by pywinrm consider the following userdata example:

          <powershell>
          New-NetFirewallRule -Name "SMB445" -DisplayName "SMB445" -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 445
          New-NetFirewallRule -Name "WINRM5986" -DisplayName "WINRM5986" -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 5986

          winrm quickconfig -q
          winrm set winrm/config/winrs '@{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="300"}'
          winrm set winrm/config '@{MaxTimeoutms="1800000"}'
          winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{Basic="true"}'

          $SourceStoreScope = 'LocalMachine'
          $SourceStorename = 'Remote Desktop'

          $SourceStore = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store -ArgumentList $SourceStorename, $SourceStoreScope
          $SourceStore.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadOnly)

          $cert = $SourceStore.Certificates | Where-Object -FilterScript {
              $_.subject -like '*'
          }

          $DestStoreScope = 'LocalMachine'
          $DestStoreName = 'My'

          $DestStore = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store -ArgumentList $DestStoreName, $DestStoreScope
          $DestStore.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadWrite)
          $DestStore.Add($cert)

          $SourceStore.Close()
          $DestStore.Close()

          winrm create winrm/config/listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS `@`{CertificateThumbprint=`"($cert.Thumbprint)`"`}

          Restart-Service winrm
          </powershell>

       No certificate store is available by default on EC2 images  and  creating  one  does  not  seem  possible
       without  an  MMC  (cannot  be  automated). To use the default EC2 Windows images the above copies the RDP
       store.

   Configuration
       Configuration is set as usual, with some extra  configuration  settings.  The  location  of  the  Windows
       installer  on the machine that Salt Cloud is running on must be specified. This may be done in any of the
       regular configuration files (main, providers, profiles, maps). For example:

       Setting the installer in /etc/salt/cloud.providers:

          my-softlayer:
            driver: softlayer
            user: MYUSER1138
            apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com
            win_installer: /root/Salt-Minion-2014.7.0-AMD64-Setup.exe
            win_username: Administrator
            win_password: letmein
            smb_port: 445

       The default Windows user is Administrator, and the default Windows password is blank.

       If WinRM is to be used use_winrm needs to be set to True. winrm_port can be used to specify a custom port
       (must be HTTPS listener).  And winrm_verify_ssl can be set to False to use a self signed certificate.

   Auto-Generated Passwords on EC2
       On EC2, when the win_password is set to auto, Salt Cloud will query EC2 for an  auto-generated  password.
       This  password  is  expected to take at least 4 minutes to generate, adding additional time to the deploy
       process.

       When the EC2 API is queried for the auto-generated password, it will be returned in a  message  encrypted
       with the specified keyname. This requires that the appropriate private_key file is also specified. Such a
       profile configuration might look like:

          windows-server-2012:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-c49c0dac
            size: m1.small
            securitygroup: windows
            keyname: mykey
            private_key: /root/mykey.pem
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1
            win_installer: /root/Salt-Minion-2014.7.0-AMD64-Setup.exe
            win_username: Administrator
            win_password: auto

   Cloud Provider Specifics
   Getting Started With Aliyun ECS
       The  Aliyun  ECS  (Elastic Computer Service) is one of the most popular public cloud hosts in China. This
       cloud host can be used to manage aliyun instance using salt-cloud.

       http://www.aliyun.com/

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Configuration
       Using Salt for Aliyun ECS requires aliyun access key id and key secret.  These can be found in the aliyun
       web interface, in the "User Center" section, under "My Service" tab.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-aliyun-config:
            # aliyun Access Key ID
            id: wDGEwGregedg3435gDgxd
            # aliyun Access Key Secret
            key: GDd45t43RDBTrkkkg43934t34qT43t4dgegerGEgg
            location: cn-qingdao
            driver: aliyun

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or in the /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          aliyun_centos:
              provider: my-aliyun-config
              size: ecs.t1.small
              location: cn-qingdao

   Getting Started With Azure
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Azure is a cloud service by Microsoft providing virtual machines, SQL services, media services, and more.
       This document describes how to use Salt Cloud to create a virtual machine on Azure, with Salt installed.

       More information about Azure is located at http://www.windowsazure.com/.

   DependenciesMicrosoft Azure SDK for Python >= 1.0.2

       • The python-requests library, for Python < 2.7.9.

       • A Microsoft Azure account

       • OpenSSL (to generate the certificates)

       • Salt

   Configuration
       Set up the provider config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf

          my-azure-config:
            driver: azure
            subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
            certificate_path: /etc/salt/azure.pem

            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Optional
            management_host: management.core.windows.net

       The certificate used must be generated by the  user.  OpenSSL  can  be  used  to  create  the  management
       certificates.  Two  certificates  are  needed:  a .cer file, which is uploaded to Azure, and a .pem file,
       which is stored locally.

       To create the .pem file, execute the following command:

          openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/salt/azure.pem -out /etc/salt/azure.pem

       To create the .cer file, execute the following command:

          openssl x509 -inform pem -in /etc/salt/azure.pem -outform der -out /etc/salt/azure.cer

       After creating these files, the .cer file will need to be uploaded to Azure via the "Upload a  Management
       Certificate"  action of the "Management Certificates" tab within the "Settings" section of the management
       portal.

       Optionally, a management_host may be configured, if necessary for the region.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          azure-ubuntu:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-12_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20131003-en-us-30GB'
            size: Small
            location: 'East US'
            ssh_username: azureuser
            ssh_password: verybadpass
            slot: production
            media_link: 'http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds'
            virtual_network_name: azure-virtual-network
            subnet_name: azure-subnet

       These options are described in more detail below. Once configured, the profile can  be  realized  with  a
       salt command:

          salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu newinstance

       This  will  create an salt minion instance named newinstance in Azure. If the command was executed on the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can  be  verified  with
       Salt:

          salt newinstance test.version

   Profile Options
       The following options are currently available for Azure.

   provider
       The name of the provider as configured in /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf.

       The name of the image to use to create a VM. Available images can be viewed using the following command:

          salt-cloud --list-images my-azure-config

   size
       The name of the size to use to create a VM. Available sizes can be viewed using the following command:

          salt-cloud --list-sizes my-azure-config

   location
       The  name  of  the  location  to  create  a  VM in. Available locations can be viewed using the following
       command:

          salt-cloud --list-locations my-azure-config

   affinity_group
       The name of the affinity group to create a  VM  in.  Either  a  location  or  an  affinity_group  may  be
       specified, but not both. See Affinity Groups below.

   ssh_username
       The user to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt.

   ssh_password
       The password to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt.

   slot
       The environment to which the hosted service is deployed. Valid values are staging or production. When set
       to  production,  the resulting URL of the new VM will be <vm_name>.cloudapp.net. When set to staging, the
       resulting URL will contain a generated hash instead.

   media_link
       This is the URL of the container that will store the disk that this VM uses.  Currently,  this  container
       must  already  exist.  If  a VM has previously been created in the associated account, a container should
       already exist. In the web interface, go into the Storage area and click  one  of  the  available  storage
       selections.  Click  the  Containers  link, and then copy the URL from the container that will be used. It
       generally looks like:

          http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds

   service_name
       The name of the service in which to create the VM. If this is not  specified,  then  a  service  will  be
       created with the same name as the VM.

   virtual_network_name
       Optional.  The  name of the virtual network for the VM to join. If this is not specified, then no virtual
       network will be joined.

   subnet_name
       Optional. The name of the  subnet  in  the  virtual  network  for  the  VM  to  join.   Requires  that  a
       virtual_network_name is specified.

   Show Instance
       This  action  is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single instance only. In
       an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having  to  sort  through  all  instance
       data, just to examine a single instance.

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Destroying VMs
       There  are  certain  options  which  can  be  specified  in  the global cloud configuration file (usually
       /etc/salt/cloud) which affect Salt Cloud's behavior when a VM is destroyed.

   cleanup_disks
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default is False. When set to True, Salt Cloud will wait for the VM to  be  destroyed,  then  attempt  to
       destroy the main disk that is associated with the VM.

   cleanup_vhds
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default  is  False.  Requires cleanup_disks to be set to True. When also set to True, Salt Cloud will ask
       Azure to delete the VHD associated with the disk that is also destroyed.

   cleanup_services
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default is False. Requires cleanup_disks to be set to True. When also set to True, Salt Cloud  will  wait
       for  the disk to be destroyed, then attempt to remove the service that is associated with the VM. Because
       the disk belongs to the service, the disk must be destroyed before the service can be.

   Managing Hosted Services
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       An account can have one or more hosted services. A hosted service is required in order to  create  a  VM.

   Managing Management Certificates
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       A  Azure  management certificate is an X.509 v3 certificate used to authenticate an agent, such as Visual
       Studio Tools for Windows Azure or a client application that uses the Service Management  API,  acting  on
       behalf  of  the  subscription  owner  to manage subscription resources. Azure management certificates are
       uploaded to Azure and stored at the subscription level. The management certificate store can hold  up  to
       100  certificates  per  subscription.  These  certificates  are  used  to authenticate your Windows Azure
       deployment.

       For more information on management certificates, see the following link.

       • Manage Certificates

       The following functions are available.

   list_management_certificates

              thumbalgorithm=sha1 thumbprint=0123456789ABCDEF

   add_management_certificate
       Management certificates must have a key length of at least 2048 bits and should reside  in  the  Personal
       certificate  store. When the certificate is installed on the client, it should contain the private key of
       the certificate. To upload to the certificate to the Microsoft Azure Management Portal, you  must  export
       it  as  a  .cer  format  file  that  does  not  contain the private key. For more information on creating
       management certificates, see the following link:

       • Create and Upload a Management Certificate for Azure

       The following options are available.

   public_key
       A base64 representation of the management certificate public key.

          salt-cloud -f list_virtual_networks my-azure service=myservice deployment=mydeployment

   Managing Input Endpoints
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Input  endpoints  are  used  to  manage port access for roles. Because endpoints cannot be managed by the
       Azure Python SDK, Salt Cloud  uses  the  API  directly.   With  versions  of  Python  before  2.7.9,  the
       requests-python  package  needs  to  be  installed in order for this to work. Additionally, the following
       needs to be set in the master's configuration file:

          backend: requests

       The following functions are available.

   Managing Blob Storage
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Azure storage containers and their contents can be managed with Salt Cloud. This is  not  as  elegant  as
       using  one  of the other available clients in Windows, but it benefits Linux and Unix users, as there are
       fewer options available on those platforms.

   Blob Storage Configuration
       Blob storage must be configured differently than the standard Azure configuration. Both a storage_account
       and a storage_key must be specified either through the Azure provider configuration (in addition  to  the
       other Azure configuration) or via the command line.

          storage_account: mystorage
          storage_key: ffhj334fDSGFEGDFGFDewr34fwfsFSDFwe==

   storage_account
       This is one of the storage accounts that is available via the list_storage function.

   storage_key
       Both  a  primary  and  a secondary storage_key can be obtained by running the show_storage_keys function.
       Either key may be used.

   Blob Functions
       The following functions are made available through Salt Cloud for managing blog storage.

   make_blob_url
       Creates the URL to access a blob

   lease_duration
       Specifies  the  duration of the lease, in seconds, or negative one (-1) for a lease that never expires. A
       non-infinite lease can be between 15 and 60 seconds. A lease duration cannot be changed  using  renew  or
       change.  For  backwards  compatibility,  the  default  is  60,  and  the value is only used on an acquire

       before  it  is broken, between 0 and 60 seconds. This break period is only used if it is shorter than the
       time remaining on the lease. If longer, the time remaining on the lease is used. A new lease will not  be
       available  before  the  break  period  has  expired,  but the lease may be held for longer than the break
       period. If this header does not appear with a break operation, a fixed-duration lease  breaks  after  the
       remaining lease period elapses, and an infinite lease breaks immediately.

       The marker value is opaque to the client.

   maxresults
       Optional. Specifies the maximum number of blobs to return, including  all  BlobPrefix  elements.  If  the
       request does not specify maxresults or specifies a value greater than 5,000, the server will return up to
       5,000  items. Setting maxresults to a value less than or equal to zero results in error response code 400
       (Bad Request).

   include
       Optional. Specifies one or more datasets to include in the response. To specify more than  one  of  these
       options on the URI, you must separate each option with a comma. Valid values are:

              Version 2012-02-12 and newer. Specifies that metadata
              related to any current or previous Copy Blob operation
              should be included in the response.

   delimiter
       Optional.  When  the  request  includes this parameter, the operation returns a BlobPrefix element in the
       response body that acts as a placeholder for all blobs whose names begin with the same  substring  up  to
       the appearance of the delimiter character. The delimiter may be a single character or a string.

   show_blob_service_properties
       Show a blob's service properties

          salt-cloud -f show_blob_service_properties my-azure

   Getting Started With Azure ARM
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Azure is a cloud service by Microsoft providing virtual machines, SQL services, media services, and more.
       Azure  ARM  (aka,  the  Azure Resource Manager) is a next generation version of the Azure portal and API.
       This document describes how to use Salt Cloud to create  a  virtual  machine  on  Azure  ARM,  with  Salt
       installed.

       More information about Azure is located at http://www.windowsazure.com/.

   Installation Tips
       Because the azure library requires the cryptography library, which is compiled on-the-fly by pip, you may
       need to install the development tools for your operating system.

       Before you install azure with pip, you should make sure that the required libraries are installed.

   Debian
       For Debian and Ubuntu, the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are installed:

          sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

   Red Hat
       For  Fedora  and  RHEL-derivatives,  the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are
       installed:

          sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel

   Configuration
       Set up the provider config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azurearm.conf:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azurearm.conf

          my-azurearm-config:
            driver: azurearm

            expire_interface_cache: 3600  # 1 hour
            expire_network_cache: 3600  # 1 hour

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          azure-ubuntu-pass:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: Canonical|UbuntuServer|14.04.5-LTS|14.04.201612050
            size: Standard_D1_v2
            location: eastus
            ssh_username: azureuser
            ssh_password: verybadpass

          azure-ubuntu-key:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: Canonical|UbuntuServer|14.04.5-LTS|14.04.201612050
            size: Standard_D1_v2
            location: eastus
            ssh_username: azureuser
            ssh_publickeyfile: /path/to/ssh_public_key.pub

          azure-win2012:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: MicrosoftWindowsServer|WindowsServer|2012-R2-Datacenter|latest
            size: Standard_D1_v2
            location: westus
            win_username: azureuser
            win_password: verybadpass

       These options are described in more detail below. Once configured, the profile can  be  realized  with  a
       salt command:

          salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu newinstance

       This  will  create an salt minion instance named newinstance in Azure. If the command was executed on the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can  be  verified  with
       Salt:

          salt newinstance test.version

   volumes
       Optional. A list of dictionaries describing data disks to attach to the instance can be  specified  using
       this  setting.  The  data  disk  dictionaries are passed entirely to the Azure DataDisk object, so ad-hoc
       options can be handled as long as they are valid properties of the object.

          volumes:
          - disk_size_gb: 50
            caching: ReadWrite
          - disk_size_gb: 100

       that they are attached to is deleted.  Requires cleanup_disks to be set to True.

   cleanup_interfaces
       Optional. Default is False. Normally when a  VM  is  deleted,  its  associated  interfaces  and  IPs  are
       retained.  This  is  useful  if  you expect the deleted VM to be recreated with the same name and network
       settings. If you would like interfaces and IPs to be deleted when their associated  VM  is  deleted,  set
       this to True.

   userdata
       Optional.  Any  custom  cloud  data  that  needs  to  be  specified. How this data is used depends on the
       operating system and image that is used. For instance, Linux images that use cloud-init will import  this
       data  for  use  with  that  program. Some Windows images will create a file with a copy of this data, and
       others will ignore it. If a Windows image creates a file, then the location will depend upon the  version
       of Windows. This will be ignored if the userdata_file is specified.

   userdata_file
       Optional. The path to a file to be read and submitted to Azure as user data.  How this is used depends on
       the operating system that is being deployed. If used, any userdata setting will be ignored.

   userdata_sendkeys
       Optional. Set to True in order to generate salt minion keys and provide them as variables to the userdata
       script  when running it through the template renderer. The keys can be referenced as {{opts['priv_key']}}
       and {{opts['pub_key']}}.

   userdata_template
       Optional. Enter the renderer, such as jinja, to be used for the userdata script template.

   wait_for_ip_timeout
       Optional. Default is 600. When waiting for a VM to be created, Salt Cloud will attempt to connect to  the
       VM's  IP  address  until  it  starts  responding.  This  setting specifies the maximum time to wait for a
       response.

   wait_for_ip_interval
       Optional. Default is 10. How long to wait between attempts to connect to the VM's IP.

   wait_for_ip_interval_multiplier
       Optional. Default is 1. Increase  the  interval  by  this  multiplier  after  each  request;  helps  with
       throttling.

   expire_publisher_cache
       Optional.  Default is 604800. When fetching image data using --list-images, a number of web calls need to
       be made to the Azure ARM API.  This is normally very fast when performed using a VM  that  exists  inside
       Azure itself, but can be very slow when made from an external connection.

       By  default,  the  publisher  data will be cached, and only updated every 604800 seconds (7 days). If you
       need the publisher cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting.  Setting  it  to  0
       will turn off the publisher cache.

   expire_offer_cache
       Optional. Default is 518400. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default,  the  offer data will be cached, and only updated every 518400 seconds (6 days). If you need
       the offer cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting. Setting it to  0  will  turn
       off the publiser cache.

   expire_sku_cache
       Optional. Default is 432000. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default, the sku data will be cached, and only updated every 432000 seconds (5 days). If you need the
       sku cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting. Setting it to 0 will turn off  the
       sku cache.

   expire_version_cache
       Optional. Default is 345600. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default, the version data will be cached, and only updated every 345600 seconds (4 days). If you need
       the version cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting. Setting it to 0 will  turn
       off the version cache.

   expire_group_cache
       Optional. Default is 14400. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default,  the  resource group data will be cached, and only updated every 14400 seconds (4 hours). If
       you need the resource group cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting. Setting it
       to 0 will turn off the resource group cache.

   expire_interface_cache
       Optional. Default is 3600. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By default, the interface data will be cached, and only updated every 3600 seconds (1 hour). If you  need
       the  interface  cache  to  be updated at a different frequency, change this setting. Setting it to 0 will
       turn off the interface cache.

   expire_network_cache
       Optional. Default is 3600. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By default, the network data will be cached, and only updated every 3600 seconds (1 hour).  If  you  need
       the  network cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting. Setting it to 0 will turn
       off the network cache.

   Other Options
       Other options relevant to Azure ARM.

   storage_account
       Required for actions involving an Azure storage account.

   storage_key
       Required for actions involving an Azure storage account.

   Show Instance
       This action is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single instance  only.  In
       an  environment  with  several  machines,  this will save a user from having to sort through all instance
       data, just to examine a single instance.

   Getting Started with CloudStack
       CloudStack is one the most popular cloud projects. It's an open source project  to  build  public  and/or
       private clouds. You can use Salt Cloud to launch CloudStack instances.

   Dependencies
       • Libcloud >= 0.13.2

   Configuration
       Using  Salt  for  CloudStack,  requires  an  API key and a secret key along with the API address endpoint
       information.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          exoscale:
            driver: cloudstack
            host: api.exoscale.com
            path: /compute
            apikey: EXOAPIKEY
            secretkey: EXOSECRETKEYINYOURACCOUNT

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or in the /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

   Getting Started With DigitalOcean
       DigitalOcean is a public cloud host that specializes in Linux instances.

   Configuration
       Using Salt for DigitalOcean requires a personal_access_token, an ssh_key_file, and at least one  SSH  key
       name  in  ssh_key_names.  More  ssh_key_names  can  be  added  by  separating  each key with a comma. The
       personal_access_token can be found in the DigitalOcean web interface in the "Apps & API" section. The SSH
       key name can be found under the "SSH Keys" section.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-digitalocean-config:

            size: 512MB
            ssh_username: freebsd

   userdata_file
       New in version 2016.11.6.

       Use userdata_file to specify the userdata file to upload for use with cloud-init if available.

          my-openstack-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/cloud-init/packages.yml

          my-do-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/cloud-init/packages.yml
            userdata_template: jinja

       If  no userdata_template is set in the cloud profile, then the master configuration will be checked for a
       userdata_template value.  If this is not set, then no templating will be performed on the userdata_file.

       To disable templating  in  a  cloud  profile  when  a  userdata_template  has  been  set  in  the  master
       configuration file, simply set userdata_template to False in the cloud profile:

          my-do-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/cloud-init/packages.yml
            userdata_template: False

   Miscellaneous Information
       NOTE:
          DigitalOcean's  concept  of  Applications  is  nothing  more than a pre-configured instance (same as a
          normal Droplet). You will find examples such Docker 0.7 Ubuntu 13.04 x64 and Wordpress on Ubuntu 12.10
          when using the --list-images option. These names can be used  just  like  the  rest  of  the  standard
          instances when specifying an image in the cloud profile configuration.

       NOTE:
          If  your  domain's  DNS  is  managed with DigitalOcean, and your minion name matches your DigitalOcean
          managed DNS domain, you can automatically create A and AAA records for  newly  created  droplets.  Use
          create_dns_record:  True  in your config to enable this. Adding delete_dns_record: True to also delete
          records when a droplet is destroyed is optional. Due to limitations in salt-cloud design, the  destroy
          code  does  not  have  access  to  the VM config data. WHETHER YOU ADD create_dns_record: True OR NOT,
          salt-cloud WILL attempt to delete your DNS records if the  minion  name  matches.  This  will  prevent
          advertising any recycled IP addresses for destroyed minions.

       NOTE:
          If  you  need  to  perform  the  bootstrap using the local interface for droplets, this can be done by
          setting ssh_interface: private in your config. By default the  salt-cloud  script  would  run  on  the
          public  interface  however  if  firewall  is  preventing the connection to the Droplet over the public
          interface you might need to set this option to connect  via  private  interface.  Also,  to  use  this
          feature private_networking: True must be set in the config.

       NOTE:
          Additional documentation is available from DigitalOcean.

       CaaS  has  its own non-standard API , SaltStack provides a wrapper on top of this API with common methods
       with other IaaS solutions and Public cloud providers.  Therefore, you can use the Dimension  Data  module
       to communicate with both the public and private clouds.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python apache-libcloud and netaddr library to be installed.

   Configuration
       When you instantiate a driver you need to pass the following arguments to the driver constructor:

       • user_id - Your Dimension Data Cloud username

       • key - Your Dimension Data Cloud password

       • region - The region key, one of the possible region keys

       Possible regions:

       • dd-na : Dimension Data North America (USA)

       • dd-eu : Dimension Data Europe

       • dd-af : Dimension Data Africa

       • dd-au : Dimension Data Australia

       • dd-latam : Dimension Data Latin America

       • dd-ap : Dimension Data Asia Pacific

       • dd-canada : Dimension Data Canada region

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-dimensiondata-config:
            user_id: my_username
            key: myPassword!
            region: dd-na
            driver: dimensiondata

       NOTE:
          In  version 2015.8.0, the provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This
          change was made to avoid confusion  with  the  provider  parameter  that  is  used  in  cloud  profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver to refer to the Salt cloud module that provides
          the underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider
          to refer to provider configurations that you define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Dimension  Data  images  have  an inbuilt size configuration, there is no list of sizes (although, if the
       command --list-sizes is run a default will be returned).

       Images can be obtained using the --list-images option for the salt-cloud command:

   Getting Started With AWS EC2
       Amazon EC2 is a very widely used public cloud platform and one of the core platforms Salt Cloud has  been
       built to support.

       Previously, the suggested driver for AWS EC2 was the aws driver. This has been deprecated in favor of the
       ec2  driver.  Configuration using the old aws driver will still function, but that driver is no longer in
       active development.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Configuration
       The following example illustrates some of the options that can be set. These parameters are discussed  in
       more detail below.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-ec2-southeast-public-ips:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set up grains information, which will be common for all nodes
            # using this provider
            grains:
              node_type: broker
              release: 1.0.1

            # Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script.
            #
            # Valid options are:
            #     private_ips - The salt-cloud command is run inside the EC2
            #     public_ips - The salt-cloud command is run outside of EC2
            #
            ssh_interface: public_ips

            # Optionally configure the Windows credential validation number of
            # retries and delay between retries.  This defaults to 10 retries
            # with a one second delay betwee retries

            # Configure which user to use to run the deploy script. This setting is
            # dependent upon the AMI that is used to deploy. It is usually safer to
            # configure this individually in a profile, than globally. Typical users

            iam_profile: 'my other profile name'

            driver: ec2

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud  provider
          definitions  now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider  to  refer  to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Access Credentials
       The id and key settings may be found in the Security Credentials area of the AWS Account page:

       https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/securityCredentials

       Both are located in the Access Credentials area of the page, under the Access Keys tab. The id setting is
       labeled Access Key ID, and the key setting is labeled Secret Access Key.

       Note: if either id or key is set to 'use-instance-role-credentials' it is assumed that Salt is running on
       an AWS instance, and the instance role credentials will be retrieved and used.  Since both the id and key
       are   required   parameters   for   the   AWS   ec2   provider,   it   is  recommended  to  set  both  to
       'use-instance-role-credentials' for this functionality.

       A "static" and "permanent" Access Key ID and Secret Key can be specified, but this  is  not  recommended.
       Instance  role  keys  are  rotated  on  a regular basis, and are the recommended method of specifying AWS
       credentials.

   Windows Deploy Timeouts
       For Windows instances, it may  take  longer  than  normal  for  the  instance  to  be  ready.   In  these
       circumstances,  the  provider  configuration  can  be  configured with a win_deploy_auth_retries and/or a
       win_deploy_auth_retry_delay setting, which default to 10 retries and a one second delay between  retries.
       These  retries  and  timeouts  relate  to  validating  the  Administrator  password once AWS provides the
       credentials via the AWS API.

   Key Pairs
       In order to create an instance with Salt installed and configured, a key pair will need  to  be  created.
       This  can  be  done in the EC2 Management Console, in the Key Pairs area. These key pairs are unique to a
       specific region. Keys in the us-east-1 region can be configured at:

       https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#s=KeyPairs

       Keys in the us-west-1 region can be configured at

       https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-west-1#s=KeyPairs

       ...and so on. When creating a key pair, the browser will prompt to download a pem file. This file must be
       placed in a directory accessible by Salt Cloud, with permissions set to either 0400 or 0600.

   Security Groups
       An instance on EC2 needs to belong to a security group. Like key pairs, these are unique  to  a  specific
       region. These are also configured in the EC2 Management Console. Security groups for the us-east-1 region
       can be configured at:

       https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#s=SecurityGroups

       ...and so on.

       A  security  group  defines  firewall  rules  which  an  instance  will  adhere to. If the salt-master is
       configured outside of EC2, the security group must open the SSH port (usually port 22) in order for  Salt
       Cloud to install Salt.

   IAM Profile
       Amazon EC2 instances support the concept of an instance profile, which is a logical container for the IAM
       role.  At  the  time  that  you  launch  an EC2 instance, you can associate the instance with an instance
       profile, which in turn corresponds to the IAM role. Any software that runs on the EC2 instance is able to
       access AWS using the permissions associated with the IAM role.

       Scaffolding the profile is a 2-step configuration process:

       1. Configure an IAM Role from the IAM Management Console.

       2. Attach this role to a new profile. It can be done with the AWS CLI:

                 > aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name PROFILE_NAME
                 > aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile --instance-profile-name PROFILE_NAME --role-name ROLE_NAME

       Once the profile is created, you can use the PROFILE_NAME to configure your cloud profiles.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          base_ec2_private:
            provider: my-ec2-southeast-private-ips
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: t2.micro

            tag: {'Environment': 'production', 'Role': 'database'}
            sync_after_install: grains

       The profile can now be realized with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p base_ec2 ami.example.com
          # salt-cloud -p base_ec2_public ami.example.com
          # salt-cloud -p base_ec2_private ami.example.com

       This will create an instance named ami.example.com in EC2. The minion that is installed on this  instance
       will  have  an  id  of ami.example.com. If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will
       automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can  be  verified  with
       Salt:

          # salt 'ami.example.com' test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for EC2:

          # Set the EC2 login data
          my-ec2-config:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: quick-start
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

   Optional Settings
       EC2  allows  a  userdata file to be passed to the instance to be created. This functionality was added to
       Salt in the 2015.5.0 release.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file

       NOTE:
          From versions 2016.11.0 and 2016.11.3, this file was passed through the master's renderer to  template
          it.  However,  this caused issues with non-YAML data, so templating is no longer performed by default.
          To template the userdata_file, add a userdata_template option to the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file
                userdata_template: jinja

          If no userdata_template is set in the cloud profile, then the master configuration will be checked for
          a userdata_template value.  If this  is  not  set,  then  no  templating  will  be  performed  on  the
          userdata_file.

          To  disable  templating  in  a  cloud  profile  when  a  userdata_template  has been set in the master
          configuration file, simply set userdata_template to False in the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file
                userdata_template: False

       EC2 allows a location to be set for servers to be deployed in. Availability zones exist  inside  regions,
       and may be added to increase specificity.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Optionally configure default region
            location: ap-southeast-1
            availability_zone: ap-southeast-1b

       EC2 instances can have a public or private IP, or both. When an instance is deployed, Salt Cloud needs to
       log  into  it  via SSH to run the deploy script.  By default, the public IP will be used for this. If the
       salt-cloud command is run from another EC2 instance, the private IP should be used.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script
            # private_ips or public_ips
            ssh_interface: public_ips

       Many EC2 instances do not allow remote access to the root user by default.  Instead, another user must be
       used to run the deploy script using sudo. Some common usernames  include  ec2-user  (for  Amazon  Linux),
       ubuntu (for Ubuntu instances), admin (official Debian) and bitnami (for images provided by Bitnami).

          my-ec2-config:
            # Configure which user to use to run the deploy script
            ssh_username: ec2-user

       Multiple  usernames can be provided, in which case Salt Cloud will attempt to guess the correct username.
       This is mostly useful in the main configuration file:

          my-ec2-config:
            ssh_username:
              - ec2-user
              - ubuntu
              - admin
              - bitnami

       Multiple security groups can also be specified in the same fashion:

          my-ec2-config:
            securitygroup:
              - default
              - extra

       EC2 instances can be added to an AWS Placement Group by specifying the placementgroup option:

          my-ec2-config:
            placementgroup: my-aws-placement-group

       Your instances may optionally make use of EC2 Spot Instances. The following  example  will  request  that
       spot instances be used and your maximum bid will be $0.10. Keep in mind that different spot prices may be
       needed  based on the current value of the various EC2 instance sizes. You can check current and past spot
       instance pricing via the EC2 API or AWS Console.

          my-ec2-config:
            spot_config:
              spot_price: 0.10

       You can optionally specify tags to apply to the EC2 spot  instance  request.   A  spot  instance  request
       itself is an object in AWS. The following example will set two tags on the spot instance request.

          my-ec2-config:
            spot_config:
              spot_price: 0.10
              tag:
                tag0: value
                tag1: value

       By  default,  the  spot instance type is set to 'one-time', meaning it will be launched and, if it's ever
       terminated for whatever reason, it will not be recreated. If you would like your  spot  instances  to  be
       relaunched after a termination (by you or AWS), set the type to 'persistent'.

       NOTE:  Spot instances are a great way to save a bit of money, but you do run the risk of losing your spot
       instances if the current price for the instance size goes above your maximum bid.

       The following parameters may be set in the cloud configuration file to control  various  aspects  of  the
       spot instance launching:

       • wait_for_spot_timeout: seconds to wait before giving up on spot instance launch (default=600)

       • wait_for_spot_interval:  seconds to wait in between polling requests to determine if a spot instance is
         available (default=30)

       • wait_for_spot_interval_multiplier: a multiplier to add to the interval in between  requests,  which  is
         useful if AWS is throttling your requests (default=1)

       • wait_for_spot_max_failures: maximum number of failures before giving up on launching your spot instance
         (default=10)

       If  you  find  that  you're  being  throttled  by  AWS  while polling for spot instances, you can set the
       following in your core cloud configuration file that will double the polling interval after each  request
       to AWS.

          wait_for_spot_interval: 1
          wait_for_spot_interval_multiplier: 2

       See the AWS Spot Instances documentation for more information.

       Block  device  mappings  enable  you to specify additional EBS volumes or instance store volumes when the
       instance is launched. This setting is also available on each cloud  profile.  Note  that  the  number  of
       instance  stores  varies  by  instance  type.   If  more  mappings are provided than are supported by the
       instance type, mappings will be created in the order provided and additional mappings  will  be  ignored.
       Consult the AWS documentation for a listing of the available instance stores, and device names.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                VirtualName: ephemeral0
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdc
                VirtualName: ephemeral1

       You  can  also  use block device mappings to change the size of the root device at the provisioning time.
       For example, assuming the root device is '/dev/sda', you can set its size to 100G by using the  following
       configuration.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sda
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 100
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.SnapshotId: dummy0
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                # required for devices > 2TB
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 3001

       Tagging  of  block  devices  can be set on a per device basis. For example, you may have multiple devices
       defined in your block_device_mappings structure. You have the option to set tags on any of one device  or
       all of them as shown in the following configuration.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sda
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 100
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                tag:
                  tag0: myserver
                  tag1: value
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 3001
                tag:
                  tagX: value
                  tagY: value

       You  can  configure any AWS valid tag name as shown in the above example, including 'Name'. If you do not
       configure the tag 'Name', it will be automatically created with a value set to the virtual machine  name.
       If  you  configure  the  tag  'Name',  the value you configure will be used rather than defaulting to the
       virtual machine name as shown in the following configuration.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sda
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 100
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                tag:
                  Name: myserver
                  tag0: value
                  tag1: value
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 3001
                tag:
                  Name: customvalue
                  tagX: value
                  tagY: value

       Existing EBS volumes may also be attached (not created) to your instances  or  you  can  create  new  EBS
       volumes based on EBS snapshots. To simply attach an existing volume use the volume_id parameter.

          device: /dev/xvdj
          volume_id: vol-12345abcd

       Or, to create a volume from an EBS snapshot, use the snapshot parameter.

          device: /dev/xvdj
          snapshot: snap-abcd12345

       Note that volume_id will take precedence over the snapshot parameter.

       Tags can be set once an instance has been launched.

          my-ec2-config:
              tag:
                  tag0: value
                  tag1: value

   Setting up a Master inside EC2
       Salt  Cloud  can  configure  Salt  Masters  as  well  as Minions. Use the make_master setting to use this
       functionality.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Optionally install a Salt Master in addition to the Salt Minion
            make_master: True

       When creating a Salt Master inside EC2 with make_master: True, or when the Salt Master is already located
       and configured inside EC2, by default, minions connect to the master's  public  IP  address  during  Salt
       Cloud's  provisioning  process. Depending on how your security groups are defined, the minions may or may
       not be able to communicate with the master. In order to use the master's private IP in EC2 instead of the
       public IP, set the salt_interface to private_ips.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Optionally set the IP configuration to private_ips
            salt_interface: private_ips

   Modify EC2 Tags
       One of the features of EC2 is the ability to tag resources. In fact, under the hood, the names  given  to
       EC2  instances by salt-cloud are actually just stored as a tag called Name. Salt Cloud has the ability to
       manage these tags:

          salt-cloud -a get_tags mymachine
          salt-cloud -a set_tags mymachine tag1=somestuff tag2='Other stuff'
          salt-cloud -a del_tags mymachine tag1,tag2,tag3

       It is possible to manage tags on any resource in EC2 with a Resource ID, not just instances:

          salt-cloud -f get_tags my_ec2 resource_id=af5467ba
          salt-cloud -f set_tags my_ec2 resource_id=af5467ba tag1=somestuff
          salt-cloud -f del_tags my_ec2 resource_id=af5467ba tags=tag1,tag2,tag3

   Rename EC2 Instances
       As mentioned above, EC2 instances are named via a tag. However, renaming an instance by renaming its  tag
       will  cause  the salt keys to mismatch. A rename function exists which renames both the instance, and the
       salt keys.

          salt-cloud -a rename mymachine newname=yourmachine

   Rename on Destroy
       When instances on EC2 are destroyed, there will be a lag between the time that the action  is  sent,  and
       the  time  that  Amazon  cleans up the instance. During this time, the instance still retains a Name tag,
       which will cause a collision if the creation of an instance with the same name is  attempted  before  the
       cleanup  occurs. In order to avoid such collisions, Salt Cloud can be configured to rename instances when
       they are destroyed. The new name will look something like:

          myinstance-DEL20f5b8ad4eb64ed88f2c428df80a1a0c

       In order to enable this, add rename_on_destroy line to the main configuration file:

          my-ec2-config:
            rename_on_destroy: True

   Listing Images
       Normally, images can be queried on a cloud provider by passing the --list-images argument to Salt  Cloud.
       This still holds true for EC2:

          salt-cloud --list-images my-ec2-config

       However,  the full list of images on EC2 is extremely large, and querying all of the available images may
       cause Salt Cloud to behave as if frozen. Therefore, the default behavior of this option may be  modified,
       by adding an owner argument to the provider configuration:

          owner: aws-marketplace

       The  possible  values  for  this  setting are amazon, aws-marketplace, self, <AWS account ID> or all. The
       default setting is amazon.  Take note that all and aws-marketplace may cause Salt Cloud to appear  as  if
       it is freezing, as it tries to handle the large amount of data.

       It  is  also  possible to perform this query using different settings without modifying the configuration
       files. To do this, call the avail_images function directly:

          salt-cloud -f avail_images my-ec2-config owner=aws-marketplace

   EC2 Images
       The following are lists of available AMI images, generally sorted by OS. These  lists  are  on  3rd-party
       websites,  are  not managed by Salt Stack in any way. They are provided here as a reference for those who
       are interested, and contain no warranty (express or implied) from anyone affiliated with Salt Stack. Most
       of them have never been used, much less tested, by the Salt Stack team.

       • Arch LinuxFreeBSDFedoraCentOSUbuntuDebianOmniOSAll Images on Amazon

       NOTE: If image of a profile does not start with ami-, latest image with  that  name  will  be  used.  For
       example,  to create a CentOS 7 profile, instead of using the AMI like image: ami-1caef165, we can use its
       name like image: 'CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 HVM EBS ENA 1803_01'.  We can also use a pattern  like  below  to
       get the latest CentOS 7:

          profile-id:
            provider: provider-name
            subnetid: subnet-XXXXXXXX
            image: 'CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 HVM EBS *'
            size: m1.medium
            ssh_username: centos
            securitygroupid:
              - sg-XXXXXXXX
            securitygroupname:
              - AnotherSecurityGroup
              - AndThirdSecurityGroup

   show_image
       This  is  a function that describes an AMI on EC2. This will give insight as to the defaults that will be
       applied to an instance using a particular AMI.

          $ salt-cloud -f show_image ec2 image=ami-fd20ad94

   show_instance
       This action is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single instance  only.  In
       an  environment  with  several  machines,  this will save a user from having to sort through all instance
       data, just to examine a single instance.

          $ salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   ebs_optimized
       This argument enables switching of the EbsOptimized setting which default to 'false'.  Indicates  whether
       the  instance is optimized for EBS I/O. This optimization provides dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and
       an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal Amazon EBS I/O performance. This  optimization  isn't
       available with all instance types. Additional usage charges apply when using an EBS-optimized instance.

       This setting can be added to the profile or map file for an instance.

       If set to True, this setting will enable an instance to be EbsOptimized

          ebs_optimized: True

       This can also be set as a cloud provider setting in the EC2 cloud configuration:

          my-ec2-config:
            ebs_optimized: True

   del_root_vol_on_destroy
       This  argument  overrides the default DeleteOnTermination setting in the AMI for the EBS root volumes for
       an instance. Many AMIs contain 'false' as a default, resulting in orphaned volumes in  the  EC2  account,
       which may unknowingly be charged to the account. This setting can be added to the profile or map file for
       an instance.

       If set, this setting will apply to the root EBS volume

          del_root_vol_on_destroy: True

       This can also be set as a cloud provider setting in the EC2 cloud configuration:

          my-ec2-config:
            del_root_vol_on_destroy: True

   del_all_vols_on_destroy
       This  argument  overrides the default DeleteOnTermination setting in the AMI for the not-root EBS volumes
       for an instance. Many AMIs contain 'false' as a  default,  resulting  in  orphaned  volumes  in  the  EC2
       account, which may unknowingly be charged to the account. This setting can be added to the profile or map
       file for an instance.

       If  set,  this  setting  will  apply  to any (non-root) volumes that were created by salt-cloud using the
       'volumes' setting.

       The volumes will not be deleted under  the  following  conditions  *  If  a  volume  is  detached  before
       terminating the instance * If a volume is created without this setting and attached to the instance

          del_all_vols_on_destroy: True

       This can also be set as a cloud provider setting in the EC2 cloud configuration:

          my-ec2-config:
            del_all_vols_on_destroy: True

       The  setting  for  this  may be changed on all volumes of an existing instance using one of the following
       commands:

          salt-cloud -a delvol_on_destroy myinstance
          salt-cloud -a keepvol_on_destroy myinstance
          salt-cloud -a show_delvol_on_destroy myinstance

       The setting for this may be changed on a volume on an  existing  instance  using  one  of  the  following
       commands:

          salt-cloud -a delvol_on_destroy myinstance device=/dev/sda1
          salt-cloud -a delvol_on_destroy myinstance volume_id=vol-1a2b3c4d
          salt-cloud -a keepvol_on_destroy myinstance device=/dev/sda1
          salt-cloud -a keepvol_on_destroy myinstance volume_id=vol-1a2b3c4d
          salt-cloud -a show_delvol_on_destroy myinstance device=/dev/sda1
          salt-cloud -a show_delvol_on_destroy myinstance volume_id=vol-1a2b3c4d

   EC2 Termination Protection
       EC2 allows the user to enable and disable termination protection on a specific instance. An instance with
       this  protection  enabled  cannot  be  destroyed.  The  EC2 driver adds a show_term_protect action to the
       regular EC2 functionality.

          salt-cloud -a show_term_protect mymachine
          salt-cloud -a enable_term_protect mymachine
          salt-cloud -a disable_term_protect mymachine

   Alternate Endpoint
       Normally, EC2 endpoints are build using the region and the  service_url.  The  resulting  endpoint  would
       follow this pattern:

          ec2.<region>.<service_url>

       This results in an endpoint that looks like:

          ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

       There are other projects that support an EC2 compatibility layer, which this scheme does not account for.
       This can be overridden by specifying the endpoint directly in the main cloud configuration file:

          my-ec2-config:
            endpoint: myendpoint.example.com:1138/services/Cloud

   Volume Management
       The EC2 driver has several functions and actions for management of EBS volumes.

   Creating Volumes
       A  volume may be created, independent of an instance. A zone must be specified.  A size or a snapshot may
       be specified (in GiB). If neither is given, a default size of 10 GiB will  be  used.  If  a  snapshot  is
       given, the size of the snapshot will be used.

       The following parameters may also be set (when providing a snapshot OR size):

       • type:   choose   between   standard   (magnetic   disk),   gp2   (SSD),   or  io1  (provisioned  IOPS).
         (default=standard)

       • iops: the number of IOPS (only applicable to io1 volumes) (default varies on volume size)

       • encrypted: enable encryption on the volume (default=false)

          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 zone=us-east-1b
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 zone=us-east-1b size=10
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 zone=us-east-1b snapshot=snap12345678
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 size=10 type=standard
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 size=10 type=gp2
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 size=10 type=io1 iops=1000

   Attaching Volumes
       Unattached volumes may  be  attached  to  an  instance.  The  following  values  are  required;  name  or
       instance_id, volume_id, and device.

          salt-cloud -a attach_volume myinstance volume_id=vol-12345 device=/dev/sdb1

   Show a Volume
       The details about an existing volume may be retrieved.

          salt-cloud -a show_volume myinstance volume_id=vol-12345
          salt-cloud -f show_volume ec2 volume_id=vol-12345

   Detaching Volumes
       An existing volume may be detached from an instance.

          salt-cloud -a detach_volume myinstance volume_id=vol-12345

   Deleting Volumes
       A volume that is not attached to an instance may be deleted.

          salt-cloud -f delete_volume ec2 volume_id=vol-12345

   Managing Key Pairs
       The EC2 driver has the ability to manage key pairs.

   Creating a Key Pair
       A  key  pair is required in order to create an instance. When creating a key pair with this function, the
       return data will contain a copy of the private key.  This private key is not stored by Amazon,  will  not
       be obtainable past this point, and should be stored immediately.

          salt-cloud -f create_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair

   Importing a Key Pair
          salt-cloud -f import_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair file=/path/to/id_rsa.pub

   Show a Key Pair
       This function will show the details related to a key pair, not including the private key itself (which is
       not stored by Amazon).

          salt-cloud -f show_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair

   Delete a Key Pair
       This function removes the key pair from Amazon.

          salt-cloud -f delete_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair

   Launching instances into a VPC
   Simple launching into a VPC
       In  the  amazon  web interface, identify the id or the name of the subnet into which your image should be
       created. Then, edit your cloud.profiles file like so:-

          profile-id:
            provider: provider-name
            subnetid: subnet-XXXXXXXX
            image: ami-XXXXXXXX
            size: m1.medium
            ssh_username: ubuntu
            securitygroupid:
              - sg-XXXXXXXX
            securitygroupname:
              - AnotherSecurityGroup
              - AndThirdSecurityGroup

       Note that 'subnetid' takes precedence over 'subnetname', but  'securitygroupid'  and  'securitygroupname'
       are merged together to generate a single list for SecurityGroups of instances.

   Specifying interface properties
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Launching into a VPC allows you to specify more complex configurations for the network interfaces of your
       virtual machines, for example:-

          profile-id:
            provider: provider-name
            image: ami-XXXXXXXX
            size: m1.medium
            ssh_username: ubuntu

            # Do not include either 'subnetid', 'subnetname', 'securitygroupid' or
            # 'securitygroupname' here if you are going to manually specify
            # interface configuration
            #
            network_interfaces:
              - DeviceIndex: 0
                SubnetId: subnet-XXXXXXXX
                SecurityGroupId:
                  - sg-XXXXXXXX

                # Uncomment this line if you would like to set an explicit private
                # IP address for the ec2 instance
                #
                # PrivateIpAddress: 192.168.1.66

                # Uncomment this to associate an existing Elastic IP Address with
                # this network interface:
                #
                # associate_eip: eipalloc-XXXXXXXX

                # You can allocate more than one IP address to an interface. Use the
                # 'ip addr list' command to see them.
                #
                # SecondaryPrivateIpAddressCount: 2

                # Uncomment this to allocate a new Elastic IP Address to this
                # interface (will be associated with the primary private ip address
                # of the interface
                #
                # allocate_new_eip: True

                # Uncomment this instead to allocate a new Elastic IP Address to
                # both the primary private ip address and each of the secondary ones
                #
                allocate_new_eips: True

                # Uncomment this if you're creating NAT instances. Allows an instance
                # to accept IP packets with destinations other than itself.
                # SourceDestCheck: False

              - DeviceIndex: 1
                subnetname: XXXXXXXX-Subnet
                securitygroupname:
                  - XXXXXXXX-SecurityGroup
                  - YYYYYYYY-SecurityGroup

       Note  that  it is an error to assign a 'subnetid', 'subnetname', 'securitygroupid' or 'securitygroupname'
       to a profile where the interfaces are manually configured like this. These are both really properties  of
       each network interface, not of the machine itself.

   Getting Started With GoGrid
       GoGrid is a public cloud host that supports Linux and Windows.

   Configuration
       To  use  Salt  Cloud  with  GoGrid  log  into  the GoGrid web interface and create an API key. Do this by
       clicking on "My Account" and then going to the API Keys tab.

       The apikey and the sharedsecret configuration parameters need to be set  in  the  configuration  file  to
       enable interfacing with GoGrid:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-gogrid-config:
            driver: gogrid
            apikey: asdff7896asdh789
            sharedsecret: saltybacon

       NOTE:
          A Note about using Map files with GoGrid:

          Due  to  limitations  in  the  GoGrid API, instances cannot be provisioned in parallel with the GoGrid
          driver. Map files will work with GoGrid, but the -P argument should not be used  on  maps  referencing
          GoGrid instances.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud  provider
          definitions  now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider  to  refer  to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or in the /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          gogrid_512:
            provider: my-gogrid-config
            size: 512MB
            image: CentOS 6.2 (64-bit) w/ None

       Sizes can be obtained using the --list-sizes option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-sizes my-gogrid-config
          my-gogrid-config:
              ----------
              gogrid:
                  ----------
                  512MB:
                      ----------
                      bandwidth:
                          None
                      disk:
                          30
                      driver:

          ...SNIP...

       Images can be obtained using the --list-images option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-images my-gogrid-config
          my-gogrid-config:

   Assigning IPs
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       The  GoGrid  API  allows  IP addresses to be manually assigned. Salt Cloud supports this functionality by
       allowing an IP address to be specified using the assign_public_ip argument. This likely  makes  the  most
       sense inside a map file, but it may also be used inside a profile.

          gogrid_512:
            provider: my-gogrid-config
            size: 512MB
            image: CentOS 6.2 (64-bit) w/ None
            assign_public_ip: 11.38.257.42

   Getting Started With Google Compute Engine
       Google  Compute  Engine  (GCE)  is  Google-infrastructure as a service that lets you run your large-scale
       computing workloads on virtual machines.  This document covers how to use Salt  Cloud  to  provision  and
       manage your virtual machines hosted within Google's infrastructure.

       You can find out more about GCE and other Google Cloud Platform services at https://cloud.google.com.

   Dependencies
       • LibCloud >= 1.0.0

       Changed in version 2017.7.0.

       • A Google Cloud Platform account with Compute Engine enabled

       • A registered Service Account for authorization

       • Oh, and obviously you'll need salt

   Google Compute Engine Setup
       1. Sign up for Google Cloud Platform

          Go  to  https://cloud.google.com  and use your Google account to sign up for Google Cloud Platform and
          complete the guided instructions.

       2. Create a Project

          Next, go to the console at https://cloud.google.com/console and create a new Project.   Make  sure  to
          select your new Project if you are not automatically directed to the Project.

          Projects  are  a way of grouping together related users, services, and billing.  You may opt to create
          multiple Projects and the remaining instructions will need to be completed for  each  Project  if  you
          wish to use GCE and Salt Cloud to manage your virtual machines.

       3. Enable the Google Compute Engine service

          In  your  Project,  either just click Compute Engine to the left, or go to the APIs & auth section and
          APIs link and enable the Google Compute Engine service.

       4. Create a Service Account

          To set up authorization, navigate to APIs & auth section and then the Credentials link and  click  the
          CREATE  NEW  CLIENT ID button. Select Service Account and click the Create Client ID button. This will
          automatically download a .json file, which may or may not be used in later steps,  depending  on  your
          version of libcloud.

          Look  for  a  new  Service  Account section in the page and record the generated email address for the
          matching key/fingerprint. The email address will be used in the service_account_email_address  of  the
          /etc/salt/cloud.providers or the /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf file.

       5. Key Format

          NOTE:
             If  you  are  using  libcloud  >=  0.17.0  it  is recommended that you use the JSON format file you
             downloaded above and skip to the Provider Configuration section below, using the JSON file in place
             of 'NEW.pem' in the documentation.

             If you are using an older version of libcloud or are unsure of the version you have, please  follow
             the instructions below to generate and format a new P12 key.

          In  the  new  Service Account section, click Generate new P12 key, which will automatically download a
          .p12 private key file. The .p12 private key  needs  to  be  converted  to  a  format  compatible  with
          libcloud.   This  new Google-generated private key was encrypted using notasecret as a passphrase. Use
          the following command and record the location of the converted private key and record the location for
          use in the service_account_private_key of the /etc/salt/cloud file:

             openssl pkcs12 -in ORIG.p12 -passin pass:notasecret \
             -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -out NEW.pem

   Provider Configuration
       Set up the provider cloud config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf:

          gce-config:
            # Set up the Project name and Service Account authorization
            project: "your-project-id"
            service_account_email_address: "123-a5gt@developer.gserviceaccount.com"
            service_account_private_key: "/path/to/your/NEW.pem"

            # Set up the location of the salt master
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set up grains information, which will be common for all nodes
            # using this provider
            grains:
              node_type: broker
              release: 1.0.1

            driver: gce

       NOTE:
          Empty strings as values for service_account_private_key and service_account_email_address can be  used
          on GCE instances. This will result in the service account assigned to the GCE instance being used.

       NOTE:
          The  value  provided for project must not contain underscores or spaces and is labeled as "Project ID"
          on the Google Developers Console.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profile Configuration
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:

          my-gce-profile:
            image: centos-6
            size: n1-standard-1
            location: europe-west1-b
            network: default
            subnetwork: default
            tags: '["one", "two", "three"]'
            metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two"}'
            use_persistent_disk: True
            delete_boot_pd: False
            deploy: True
            make_master: False
            provider: gce-config

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p my-gce-profile gce-instance

       This will create an salt minion instance named gce-instance in GCE.  If the command was executed  on  the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the instance has been created with a salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with
       Salt:

          salt gce-instance test.version

   GCE Specific Settings
       Consult the sample profile below for more information about GCE  specific  settings.  Some  of  them  are
       mandatory and are properly labeled below but typically also include a hard-coded default.

   Initial Profile
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/gce.conf:

          my-gce-profile:
            image: centos-6
            size: n1-standard-1
            location: europe-west1-b
            network: default
            subnetwork: default
            tags: '["one", "two", "three"]'
            metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two"}'
            use_persistent_disk: True
            delete_boot_pd: False
            ssh_interface: public_ips
            external_ip: "ephemeral"

   image
       Image  is  used  to  define  what Operating System image should be used to for the instance. Examples are
       Debian 7 (wheezy) and CentOS 6. Required.

   size
       A 'size', in GCE terms, refers to the instance's 'machine type'. See  the  on-line  documentation  for  a
       complete list of GCE machine types. Required.

   location
       A  'location',  in  GCE  terms, refers to the instance's 'zone'. GCE has the notion of both Regions (e.g.
       us-central1, europe-west1, etc) and Zones (e.g. us-central1-a, us-central1-b, etc). Required.

   network
       Use this setting to define the network resource for the instance.  All GCE  projects  contain  a  network
       named  'default'  but  it's  possible  to  use  this setting to create instances belonging to a different
       network resource.

   subnetwork
       Use this setting to define the subnetwork an instance will be created in.  This requires that the network
       your instance is created under has a mode of 'custom'  or  'auto'.   Additionally,  the  subnetwork  your
       instance is created under is associated with the location you provide.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   tags
       GCE supports instance/network tags and this setting allows you to set custom tags. It should be a list of
       strings and must be parse-able by the python ast.literal_eval() function to convert it to a python list.

   metadata
       GCE supports instance metadata and this setting allows you to set custom metadata. It should be a hash of
       key/value  strings  and  parse-able  by  the python ast.literal_eval() function to convert it to a python
       dictionary.

   use_persistent_disk
       Use this setting to ensure that when new instances are created,  they  will  use  a  persistent  disk  to
       preserve data between instance terminations and re-creations.

   delete_boot_pd
       In  the  event  that  you  wish  the  boot  persistent disk to be permanently deleted when you destroy an
       instance, set delete_boot_pd to True.

   ssh_interface
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script.

       Valid options are:

       • private_ips: The salt-master is also hosted with GCE

       • public_ips: The salt-master is hosted outside of GCE

   external_ip
       Per instance setting: Used a named fixed IP address to this host.

       Valid options are:

       • ephemeral: The host will use a GCE ephemeral IP

       • None: No external IP will be configured on this host.

       Optionally, pass the name of a GCE address to use a fixed IP address.  If the address  does  not  already
       exist, it will be created.

   ex_disk_type
       GCE  supports  two  different  disk  types,  pd-standard  and  pd-ssd.   The default disk type setting is
       pd-standard. To specify using an SSD disk, set pd-ssd as the value.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

   ip_forwarding
       GCE instances can be enabled to use IP Forwarding. When set to True, this options allows the instance  to
       send/receive non-matching src/dst packets. Default is False.

       New in version 2015.8.1.

   Profile with scopes
       Scopes  can  be  specified  by  setting  the  optional ex_service_accounts key in your cloud profile. The
       following example enables the bigquery scope.

          my-gce-profile:
           image: centos-6
            ssh_username: salt
            size: f1-micro
            location: us-central1-a
            network: default
            subnetwork: default
            tags: '["one", "two", "three"]'
            metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two",
                        "sshKeys": ""}'
            use_persistent_disk: True
            delete_boot_pd: False
            deploy: False
            make_master: False
            provider: gce-config
            ex_service_accounts:
              - scopes:
                - bigquery

       Email can also be specified as an (optional) parameter.

          my-gce-profile:
          ...snip
            ex_service_accounts:
              - scopes:
                - bigquery
                email: default

       There can be multiple entries for scopes since ex-service_accounts accepts a list  of  dictionaries.  For
       more information refer to the libcloud documentation on specifying service account scopes.

   SSH Remote Access
       GCE instances do not allow remote access to the root user by default.  Instead, another user must be used
       to  run  the  deploy  script  using  sudo.   Append  something  like  this to /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:

          my-gce-profile:
              ...

              # SSH to GCE instances as gceuser
              ssh_username: gceuser

              # Use the local private SSH key file located here
              ssh_keyfile: /etc/cloud/google_compute_engine

       If you have not already used this SSH key to login to instances in this GCE project you will also need to
       add the public key to your projects metadata at https://cloud.google.com/console. You could also  add  it
       via the metadata setting too:

          my-gce-profile:
              ...

              metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two",
                          "sshKeys": "gceuser:ssh-rsa <Your SSH Public Key> gceuser@host"}'

   Single instance details
       This  action  is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single instance only. In
       an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having  to  sort  through  all  instance
       data, just to examine a single instance.

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Destroy, persistent disks, and metadata
       As  noted  in  the  provider configuration, it's possible to force the boot persistent disk to be deleted
       when you destroy the instance.  The way that this has been implemented is to use the instance metadata to
       record the cloud profile used when creating the instance.   When  destroy  is  called,  if  the  instance
       contains  a  salt-cloud-profile key, it's value is used to reference the matching profile to determine if
       delete_boot_pd is set to True.

       Be aware that any GCE instances created with salt  cloud  will  contain  this  custom  salt-cloud-profile
       metadata entry.

   List various resources
       It's  also  possible to list several GCE resources similar to what can be done with other providers.  The
       following commands can be used to list GCE zones (locations), machine types (sizes), and images.

          salt-cloud --list-locations gce
          salt-cloud --list-sizes gce
          salt-cloud --list-images gce

   Persistent Disk
       The Compute Engine provider provides functions via salt-cloud to manage your Persistent  Disks.  You  can
       create and destroy disks as well as attach and detach them from running instances.

   Create
       When  creating  a  disk,  you can create an empty disk and specify its size (in GB), or specify either an
       'image' or 'snapshot'.

          salt-cloud -f create_disk gce disk_name=pd location=us-central1-b size=200

   Delete
       Deleting a disk only requires the name of the disk to delete

          salt-cloud -f delete_disk gce disk_name=old-backup

   Attach
       Attaching a disk to an existing instance is really an 'action' and requires both  an  instance  name  and
       disk  name.  It's  possible  to  use this ation to create bootable persistent disks if necessary. Compute
       Engine also supports attaching a persistent disk in READ_ONLY mode to multiple instances at the same time
       (but then cannot be attached in READ_WRITE to any instance).

          salt-cloud -a attach_disk myinstance disk_name=pd mode=READ_WRITE boot=yes

   Detach
       Detaching a disk is also an action against an instance and only requires the name of the disk. Note  that
       this  does  not safely sync and umount the disk from the instance. To ensure no data loss, you must first
       make sure the disk is unmounted from the instance.

          salt-cloud -a detach_disk myinstance disk_name=pd

   Show disk
       It's also possible to look up the details for an existing disk with either a function or an action.

          salt-cloud -a show_disk myinstance disk_name=pd
          salt-cloud -f show_disk gce disk_name=pd

   Create snapshot
       You can take a snapshot of an existing disk's content. The snapshot can then in turn be  used  to  create
       other  persistent  disks. Note that to prevent data corruption, it is strongly suggested that you unmount
       the disk prior to taking a snapshot. You must name the snapshot and provide the name of the disk.

          salt-cloud -f create_snapshot gce name=backup-20140226 disk_name=pd

   Delete snapshot
       You can delete a snapshot when it's no longer needed by specifying the name of the snapshot.

          salt-cloud -f delete_snapshot gce name=backup-20140226

   Show snapshot
       Use this function to look up information about the snapshot.

          salt-cloud -f show_snapshot gce name=backup-20140226

   Networking
       Compute Engine supports multiple private networks per project. Instances within  a  private  network  can
       easily  communicate  with  each  other by an internal DNS service that resolves instance names. Instances
       within a private network can also communicate with either directly without  needing  special  routing  or
       firewall rules even if they span different regions/zones.

       Networks  also  support  custom firewall rules. By default, traffic between instances on the same private
       network is open to all ports and protocols.  Inbound SSH traffic (port 22) is also allowed but all  other
       inbound traffic is blocked.

   Create network
       New  networks  require  a  name  and  CIDR  range if they don't have a 'mode'.  Optionally, 'mode' can be
       provided. Supported modes are 'auto', 'custom', 'legacy'.  Optionally, 'description' can be  provided  to
       add an extra note to your network.  New instances can be created and added to this network by setting the
       network name during create. It is not possible to add/remove existing instances to a network.

          salt-cloud -f create_network gce name=mynet cidr=10.10.10.0/24
          salt-cloud -f create_network gce name=mynet mode=auto description=some optional info.

       Changed in version 2017.7.0.

   Destroy network
       Destroy  a  network  by  specifying  the  name.  If  a  resource is currently using the target network an
       exception will be raised.

          salt-cloud -f delete_network gce name=mynet

   Show network
       Specify the network name to view information about the network.

          salt-cloud -f show_network gce name=mynet

   Create subnetwork
       New subnetworks require a name, region, and CIDR range.  Optionally, 'description' can be provided to add
       an extra note to your subnetwork.  New instances can be created and added to this subnetwork  by  setting
       the subnetwork name during create. It is not possible to add/remove existing instances to a subnetwork.

          salt-cloud -f create_subnetwork gce name=mynet network=mynet region=us-central1 cidr=10.0.10.0/24
          salt-cloud -f create_subnetwork gce name=mynet network=mynet region=us-central1 cidr=10.10.10.0/24 description=some info about my subnet.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   Destroy subnetwork
       Destroy  a  subnetwork  by  specifying  the  name and region. If a resource is currently using the target
       subnetwork an exception will be raised.

          salt-cloud -f delete_subnetwork gce name=mynet region=us-central1

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   Show subnetwork
       Specify the subnetwork name to view information about the subnetwork.

          salt-cloud -f show_subnetwork gce name=mynet

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   Create address
       Create a new named static IP address in a region.

          salt-cloud -f create_address gce name=my-fixed-ip region=us-central1

   Delete address
       Delete an existing named fixed IP address.

          salt-cloud -f delete_address gce name=my-fixed-ip region=us-central1

   Show address
       View details on a named address.

          salt-cloud -f show_address gce name=my-fixed-ip region=us-central1

   Create firewall
       You'll need to create custom firewall rules if you want to allow other traffic  than  what  is  described
       above.  For  instance,  if  you run a web service on your instances, you'll need to explicitly allow HTTP
       and/or SSL traffic.  The firewall rule must have a name and it will  use  the  'default'  network  unless
       otherwise   specified   with   a   'network'   attribute.   Firewalls  also  support  instance  tags  for
       source/destination

          salt-cloud -f create_fwrule gce name=web allow=tcp:80,tcp:443,icmp

   Delete firewall
       Deleting a firewall rule will prevent any previously allowed traffic for the named firewall rule.

          salt-cloud -f delete_fwrule gce name=web

   Show firewall
       Use this function to review an existing firewall rule's information.

          salt-cloud -f show_fwrule gce name=web

   Load Balancer
       Compute Engine possess a load-balancer feature for splitting traffic across  multiple  instances.  Please
       reference the documentation for a more complete description.

       The load-balancer functionality is slightly different than that described in Google's documentation.  The
       concept of TargetPool and ForwardingRule are consolidated in salt-cloud/libcloud.  HTTP Health Checks are
       optional.

   HTTP Health Check
       HTTP  Health Checks can be used as a means to toggle load-balancing across instance members, or to detect
       if an HTTP site is functioning.  A common use-case is to set up a health check URL and  if  you  want  to
       toggle  traffic  on/off to an instance, you can temporarily have it return a non-200 response.  A non-200
       response to the load-balancer's health check will keep the LB from sending any new traffic to the  "down"
       instance.   Once  the instance's health check URL beings returning 200-responses, the LB will again start
       to send traffic to it. Review Compute Engine's documentation for allowable parameters.  You can  use  the
       following salt-cloud functions to manage your HTTP health checks.

          salt-cloud -f create_hc gce name=myhc path=/ port=80
          salt-cloud -f delete_hc gce name=myhc
          salt-cloud -f show_hc gce name=myhc

   Load-balancer
       When creating a new load-balancer, it requires a name, region, port range, and list of members. There are
       other  optional parameters for protocol, and list of health checks. Deleting or showing details about the
       LB only requires the name.

          salt-cloud -f create_lb gce name=lb region=... ports=80 members=w1,w2,w3
          salt-cloud -f delete_lb gce name=lb
          salt-cloud -f show_lb gce name=lb

       You can also create a load balancer using a named fixed IP addressby specifying the name of the  address.
       If the address does not exist yet it will be created.

          salt-cloud -f create_lb gce name=my-lb region=us-central1 ports=234 members=s1,s2,s3 address=my-lb-ip

   Attach and Detach LB
       It  is  possible  to  attach or detach an instance from an existing load-balancer.  Both the instance and
       load-balancer must exist before using these functions.

          salt-cloud -f attach_lb gce name=lb member=w4
          salt-cloud -f detach_lb gce name=lb member=oops

   Getting Started With HP Cloud
       HP Cloud is a major public cloud platform and uses the libcloud openstack driver. The current version  of
       OpenStack  that  HP Cloud uses is Havana. When an instance is booted, it must have a floating IP added to
       it in order to connect to it and further below you  will  see  an  example  that  adds  context  to  this
       statement.

   Set up a cloud provider configuration file
       To  use the openstack driver for HP Cloud, set up the cloud provider configuration file as in the example
       shown below:

       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/hpcloud.conf:

          hpcloud-config:
            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Configure HP Cloud using the OpenStack plugin
            #
            identity_url: https://region-b.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/tokens
            compute_name: Compute
            protocol: ipv4

            # Set the compute region:
            #
            compute_region: region-b.geo-1

            # Configure HP Cloud authentication credentials
            #
            user: myname
            tenant: myname-project1
            password: xxxxxxxxx

            # keys to allow connection to the instance launched
            #
            ssh_key_name: yourkey
            ssh_key_file: /path/to/key/yourkey.priv

            driver: openstack

       The subsequent example that follows is using the openstack driver.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Compute Region
       Originally, HP Cloud, in its OpenStack Essex version (1.0), had 3 availability zones in  one  region,  US
       West (region-a.geo-1), which each behaved each as a region.

       This  has  since  changed,  and the current OpenStack Havana version of HP Cloud (1.1) now has simplified
       this and now has two regions to choose from:

          region-a.geo-1 -> US West
          region-b.geo-1 -> US East

   Authentication
       The user is the same user as is used to log into the HP Cloud management UI. The tenant can be  found  in
       the  upper left under "Project/Region/Scope".  It is often named the same as user albeit with a -project1
       appended.  The password is of course what you created your account with. The management UI also has other
       information such as being able to select US East or US West.

   Set up a cloud profile config file
       The profile shown below is a know working profile for an Ubuntu instance. The profile configuration  file
       is stored in the following location:

       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/hp_ae1_ubuntu.conf:

          hp_ae1_ubuntu:
              provider: hp_ae1
              image: 9302692b-b787-4b52-a3a6-daebb79cb498
              ignore_cidr: 10.0.0.1/24
              networks:
                - floating: Ext-Net
              size: standard.small
              ssh_key_file: /root/keys/test.key
              ssh_key_name: test
              ssh_username: ubuntu

       Some important things about the example above:

       • The  image  parameter  can use either the image name or image ID which you can obtain by running in the
         example below (this case US East):

          # salt-cloud --list-images hp_ae1

       • The parameter ignore_cidr specifies a range of addresses to  ignore  when  trying  to  connect  to  the
         instance. In this case, it's the range of IP addresses used for an private IP of the instance.

       • The  parameter  networks is very important to include. In previous versions of Salt Cloud, this is what
         made it possible for salt-cloud to be able to attach a floating IP to the instance in order to  connect
         to  the  instance  and  set up the minion. The current version of salt-cloud doesn't require it, though
         having it is of no harm either. Newer versions of salt-cloud  will  use  this,  and  without  it,  will
         attempt to find a list of floating IP addresses to use regardless.

       • The ssh_key_file and ssh_key_name are the keys that will make it possible to connect to the instance to
         set up the minion

       • The  ssh_username  parameter,  in  this  case,  being  that the image used will be ubuntu, will make it
         possible to not only log in but install the minion

   Launch an instance
       To instantiate a machine based on this profile (example):

          # salt-cloud -p hp_ae1_ubuntu ubuntu_instance_1

       After several minutes, this will create an instance named ubuntu_instance_1 running in HP Cloud in the US
       East region and will set up the minion and then return information about the instance once completed.

   Manage the instance
       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can  be  verified  with
       Salt:

          # salt ubuntu_instance_1 ping

   SSH to the instance
       Additionally, the instance can be accessed via SSH using the floating IP assigned to it

          # ssh ubuntu@<floating ip>

   Using a private IP
       Alternatively,  in  the cloud profile, using the private IP to log into the instance to set up the minion
       is another option, particularly if salt-cloud is running within the cloud on an instance that is  on  the
       same network with all the other instances (minions)

       The example below is a modified version of the previous example. Note the use of ssh_interface:

          hp_ae1_ubuntu:
              provider: hp_ae1
              image: 9302692b-b787-4b52-a3a6-daebb79cb498
              size: standard.small
              ssh_key_file: /root/keys/test.key
              ssh_key_name: test
              ssh_username: ubuntu
              ssh_interface: private_ips

       With  this  setup,  salt-cloud  will  use  the private IP address to ssh into the instance and set up the
       salt-minion

   Getting Started With Joyent
       Joyent is a public cloud host that supports SmartOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Configuration
       The Joyent cloud requires three configuration parameters. The user name and password that are used to log
       into the Joyent system, and the location of the private ssh key associated with the Joyent  account.  The
       ssh key is needed to send the provisioning commands up to the freshly created virtual machine.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-joyent-config:
            driver: joyent
            user: fred
            password: saltybacon
            private_key: /root/mykey.pem
            keyname: mykey

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud  provider
          definitions  now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider  to  refer  to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or in the /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          joyent_512:
            provider: my-joyent-config
            size: g4-highcpu-512M

   SmartDataCenter
       This driver can also be used with the Joyent SmartDataCenter project. More details can be found at:

       Using  SDC  requires  that an api_host_suffix is set. The default value for this is .api.joyentcloud.com.
       All characters, including the leading ., should be included:

          api_host_suffix: .api.myhostname.com

   Miscellaneous Configuration
       The following configuration items can be set in either provider or profile configuration files.

   use_ssl
       When set to True (the default), attach https:// to any URL that does not already have http:// or https://
       included at the beginning. The best practice is to leave the protocol  out  of  the  URL,  and  use  this
       setting to manage it.

   verify_ssl
       When  set  to True (the default), the underlying web library will verify the SSL certificate. This should
       only be set to False for debugging.`

   Getting Started With Libvirt
       Libvirt is a toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions  of  Linux  (and
       other OSes). This driver Salt cloud provider is currently geared towards libvirt with qemu-kvm.

       https://libvirt.org/

   Host Dependencies
       • libvirt >= 1.2.18 (older might work)

   Salt-Cloud Dependencies
       • libvirt-python

   Provider Configuration
       For every KVM host a provider needs to be set up. The provider currently maps to one libvirt daemon (e.g.
       one KVM host).

       Set     up     the    provider    cloud    configuration    file    at    /etc/salt/cloud.providers    or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

          # Set up a provider with qemu+ssh protocol
          kvm-via-ssh:
            driver: libvirt
            url: qemu+ssh://user@kvm.company.com/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock

          # Or connect to a local libvirt instance
          local-kvm:
            driver: libvirt
            url: qemu:///system
            # work around flag for XML validation errors while cloning
            validate_xml: no

   Cloud Profiles
       Virtual  machines  get  cloned  from  so  called  Cloud   Profiles.   Profiles   can   be   set   up   at
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:

       • Configure a profile to be used:

          centos7:
            # points back at provider configuration
            provider: local-kvm
            base_domain: base-centos7-64
            ip_source: ip-learning
            ssh_username: root
            password: my-very-secret-password
            # /tmp is mounted noexec.. do workaround
            deploy_command: sh /tmp/.saltcloud/deploy.sh
            script_args: -F
            # grains to add to the minion
            grains:
              clones-are-awesome: true
            # override minion settings
            minion:
              master: 192.168.16.1
              master_port: 5506

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p centos7 my-centos7-clone

       This  will create an instance named my-centos7-clone on the cloud host. Also the minion id will be set to
       my-centos7-clone.

       If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt  key  will  automatically  be  accepted  on  the
       master.

       Once  the  instance  has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with
       Salt:

          salt my-centos7-clone test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for libvirt:

          centos7:
            provider: local-kvm
            # the domain to clone
            base_domain: base-centos7-64

   SSH Key Authentication
       Instead of specifying a password, an authorized key can be used for the minion setup. Ensure that the ssh
       user of your base image has the public key you want to use in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.  If you want to use
       a non-root user you will likely want to configure salt-cloud to use sudo.

       An example using root:

          centos7:
            provider: local-kvm
            # the domain to clone
            base_domain: base-centos7-64
            ssh_username: root
            private_key: /path/to/private/key

       An example using a non-root user:

          centos7:
            provider: local-kvm
            # the domain to clone
            base_domain: base-centos7-64
            ssh_username: centos
            private_key: /path/to/private/key
            sudo: True
            sudo_password: "--redacted--"

   Optional Settings
          centos7:
            # ssh settings
            # use forwarded agent instead of a local key
            ssh_agent: True
            ssh_port: 4910

            # credentials
            ssh_username: root
            # password will be used for sudo if defined, use sudo_password if using ssh keys
            password: my-secret-password
            private_key: /path/to/private/key
            sudo: True
            sudo_password: "--redacted--"

            # bootstrap options
            deploy_command: sh /tmp/.saltcloud/deploy.sh
            script_args: -F

            # minion config
            grains:
              sushi: more tasty
            # point at the another master at another port
            minion:
              master: 192.168.16.1
              master_port: 5506

            # libvirt settings
            # clone_strategy: [ quick | full ] # default is full
            clone_strategy: quick
            # ip_source: [ ip-learning | qemu-agent ] # default is ip-learning
            ip_source: qemu-agent
            # validate_xml: [ false | true ] # default is true
            validate_xml: false

       The clone_strategy controls how the clone is done. In case of  full  the  disks  are  copied  creating  a
       standalone  clone. If quick is used the disks of the base domain are used as backing disks for the clone.
       This results in nearly instantaneous clones at  the  expense  of  slower  write  performance.  The  quick
       strategy has a number of requirements:

       • The disks must be of type qcow2

       • The base domain must be turned off

       • The base domain must not change after creating the clone

       The  ip_source  setting  controls  how  the  IP address of the cloned instance is determined.  When using
       ip-learning the IP is requested from libvirt. This needs a recent libvirt version and may only  work  for
       NAT/routed  networks  where  libvirt  runs  the  dhcp  server.   Another option is to use qemu-agent this
       requires that the qemu-agent is installed and configured to run at startup in the base domain.

       The validate_xml setting is available to disable xml validation by libvirt when cloning.

   Getting Started With Linode
       Linode is a public cloud host with a focus on Linux instances.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Provider Configuration
   Configuration Options
       apikey (Required) The key to use to authenticate with the Linode API.

       password
              (Required) The default password to set on new  VMs.  Must  be  8  characters  with  at  least  one
              lowercase, uppercase, and numeric.

       api_version
              The version of the Linode API to interact with. Defaults to v3.

       poll_interval
              The rate of time in milliseconds to poll the Linode API for changes. Defaults to 500.

       ratelimit_sleep
              The time in seconds to wait before retrying after a ratelimit has been enforced. Defaults to 0.

   Example Configuration
       Set     up     the    provider    cloud    configuration    file    at    /etc/salt/cloud.providers    or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

          my-linode-provider:
              driver: linode
              api_version: v4
              apikey: f4ZsmwtB1c7f85Jdu43RgXVDFlNjuJaeIYV8QMftTqKScEB2vSosFSr...
              password: F00barbaz

       For use with APIv3 (deprecated):

          my-linode-provider-v3:
              driver: linode
              apikey: f4ZsmwtB1c7f85Jdu43RgXVDFlNjuJaeIYV8QMftTqKScEB2vSosFSr...
              password: F00barbaz

   Profile Configuration
   Configuration Options
       image  (Required)  The  image  to  deploy  the  boot  disk  from.  This  should  be  an  image  ID  (e.g.
              linode/ubuntu16.04);  official  images start with linode/. For APIv3, this would be an image label
              (i.e. Ubuntu 16.04). See listing images for more options.

       location
              (Required) The location of the VM. This should be a Linode region (e.g. us-east). For APIv3,  this
              would be a datacenter location (e.g. Newark, NJ, USA). See listing locations for more options.

       size   (Required)  The size of the VM. This should be a Linode instance type ID (e.g. g6-standard-2). For
              APIv3, this would be a plan ID (e.g. Linode 2GB).  See listing sizes for more options.

       password (overrides provider)
              (*Required) The default password for the VM. Must be provided at the profile or provider level.

       assign_private_ip
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Whether or not to assign a private key to the VM. Defaults to False.

       cloneform
              The name of the Linode to clone from.

       disk_size
              (Deprecated) The amount of disk space to allocate for the OS disk. This has no effect with  APIv4;
              the  size  of  the  boot  disk  will  be  the  remainder of disk space after the swap partition is
              allocated.

       ssh_interface
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              The interface with which to connect  over  SSH.  Valid  options  are  private_ips  or  public_ips.
              Defaults to public_ips.

              If  specifying  private_ips,  the  Linodes must be hosted within the same data center and have the
              Network Helper enabled on your entire  account.  The  instance  that  is  running  the  Salt-Cloud
              provisioning command must also have a private IP assigned to it.

              Newer accounts created on Linode have the Network Helper setting enabled by default, account-wide.
              Legacy  accounts do not have this setting enabled by default. To enable the Network Helper on your
              Linode account, please see Linode's Network Helper documentation.

       ssh_pubkey
              The public key to authorize for SSH with the VM.

       swap   The amount of disk space to allocate for the swap partition. Defaults to 256.

   Example Configuration
       Set up a profile configuration in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/:

          my-linode-profile:
              provider: my-linode-provider
              size: g6-standard-1
              image: linode/alpine3.12
              location: us-east

       The my-linode-profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p my-linode-profile my-linode-instance

       This will create a salt minion instance named my-linode-instance in Linode. If the command  was  executed
       on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the instance has been created with a salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with
       Salt:

          salt my-linode-instance test.version

       A more advanced configuration utlizing all of the configuration options might look like:

          my-linode-profile-advanced:
              provider: my-linode-provider
              size: g6-standard-3
              image: linode/alpine3.10
              location: eu-west
              password: bogus123X

       A legacy configuration for use with APIv3 might look like:

          my-linode-profile-v3:
              provider: my-linode-provider-v3
              size: Nanode 1GB
              image: Alpine 3.12
              location: Fremont, CA, USA

   Migrating to APIv4
       Linode APIv3 has been deprecated and will be shutdown in the coming months. You can opt-in to using APIv4
       by setting the api_version provider configuration option to v4.

       When switching to APIv4, you will also need to generate a new token. See here for more information.

   Notable Changes
       Move from label references to ID references. The profile configuration  parameters  location,  size,  and
       image  have moved from accepting label based references to IDs. See the profile configuration section for
       more details.

       The ``disk_size`` profile configuration parameter has been deprecated. The parameter will  not  be  taken
       into account when creating new VMs while targeting APIv4. See the disk_size description under the profile
       configuration section for more details.

       The  ``boot``  function  no  longer requires a ``config_id``. A config can be inferred by the API instead
       when booting.

       The ``clone`` function has renamed parameters to match convention. The old version  of  these  parameters
       will not be supported when targeting APIv4.  * datacenter_id has been deprecated in favor of location.  *
       plan_id has been deprecated in favor of size.

       The ``get_plan_id`` function has been deprecated and will not be supported by APIv4. IDs are now the only
       way of referring to a "plan" (or type/size).

   Cloning
       To clone a Linode, add a profile with a clonefrom key, and a script_args: -C.  clonefrom  should  be  the
       name  of  the Linode that is the source for the clone.  script_args: -C passes a -C to the salt-bootstrap
       script, which only configures the minion and doesn't try to install a new copy of salt-minion.  This  way
       the minion gets new keys and the keys get pre-seeded on the master, and the /etc/salt/minion file has the
       right minion 'id:' declaration.

       Cloning requires a post 2015-02-01 salt-bootstrap.

       It is safest to clone a stopped machine. To stop a machine run

          salt-cloud -a stop machine_to_clone

       To  create  a  new machine based on another machine, add an entry to your linode cloud profile that looks
       like this:

          li-clone:
            provider: my-linode-config
            clonefrom: machine_to_clone
            script_args: -C -F

       Then run salt-cloud as normal, specifying -p li-clone. The profile name can be anything; It doesn't  have
       to be li-clone.

       clonefrom:  is  the  name  of  an  existing machine in Linode from which to clone.  Script_args: -C -F is
       necessary to avoid re-deploying Salt via salt-bootstrap.  -C will just re-deploy keys so the  new  minion
       will  not  have  a  duplicate  key  or minion_id on the Master, and -F will force a rewrite of the Minion
       config file on the new Minion. If -F isn't provided, the new  Minion  will  have  the  machine_to_clone's
       Minion ID, instead of its own Minion ID, which can cause problems.

       NOTE:
          Pull  Request #733 to the salt-bootstrap repo makes the -F argument non-necessary. Once that change is
          released into a stable version of the Bootstrap Script, the -C argument will  be  sufficient  for  the
          script_args setting.

       If  the  machine_to_clone  does  not have Salt installed on it, refrain from using the script_args: -C -F
       altogether, because the new machine will need to have Salt installed.

   Getting Started With LXC
       The LXC module is designed to install Salt in an LXC  container  on  a  controlled  and  possibly  remote
       minion.

       In other words, Salt will connect to a minion, then from that minion:

       • Provision and configure a container for networking access

       • Use those modules to deploy salt and re-attach to master.

            • lxc runnerlxc moduleseed

   Limitations
       • You can only act on one minion and one provider at a time.

       • Listing images must be targeted to a particular LXC provider (nothing will be outputted with all)

   Operation
       Salt's  LXC  support  does  use  lxc.init  via  the  lxc.cloud_init_interface  and  seeds  the minion via
       seed.mkconfig.

       You can provide to those lxc VMs a profile and a network profile like if  you  were  directly  using  the
       minion module.

       Order of operation:

       • Create the LXC container on the desired minion (clone or template)

       • Change LXC config options (if any need to be changed)

       • Start container

       • Change base passwords if any

       • Change base DNS configuration if necessary

       • Wait for LXC container to be up and ready for ssh

       • Test SSH connection and bailout in error

       • Upload deploy script and seeds, then re-attach the minion.

   Provider configuration
       Here is a simple provider configuration:

          # Note: This example goes in /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.
          devhost10-lxc:
            target: devhost10
            driver: lxc

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud  provider
          definitions  now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider  to  refer  to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profile configuration
       Please read tutorial-lxc before anything else.  And specially tutorial-lxc-profiles.

       Here are the options to configure your containers:

          target Host minion id to install the lxc Container into

          lxc_profile
                 Name   of  the  profile  or  inline  options  for  the  LXC  vm  creation/cloning,  please  see
                 tutorial-lxc-profiles-container.

          network_profile
                 Name  of  the  profile  or  inline  options  for  the  LXC  vm  network  settings,  please  see
                 tutorial-lxc-profiles-network.

          nic_opts
                 Totally  optional.   Per interface new-style configuration options mappings which will override
                 any profile default option:

                     eth0: {'mac': '00:16:3e:01:29:40',
                                   'gateway': None, (default)
                                   'link': 'br0', (default)
                                   'gateway': None, (default)
                                   'netmask': '', (default)
                                   'ip': '22.1.4.25'}}

          password
                 password for root and sysadmin users

          dnsservers
                 List of DNS servers to use. This is optional.

          minion minion configuration (see Minion Configuration in Salt Cloud)

          bootstrap_delay
                 specify the time to wait (in seconds) between container creation and salt bootstrap  execution.
                 It  is useful to ensure that all essential services have started before the bootstrap script is
                 executed. By default there's no wait time between container creation and bootstrap  unless  you
                 are on systemd where we wait that the system is no more in starting state.

          bootstrap_shell
                 shell for bootstraping script (default: /bin/sh)

          script defaults to salt-boostrap

          script_args
                 arguments which are given to the bootstrap script.  the {0} placeholder will be replaced by the
                 path which contains the minion config and key files, eg:

                     script_args="-c {0}"

       Using profiles:

          # Note: This example would go in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.
          devhost10-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            lxc_profile: foo
            network_profile: bar
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

       Using inline profiles (eg to override the network bridge):

          devhost11-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            lxc_profile:
              clone_from: foo
            network_profile:
              etho:
                link: lxcbr0
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

       Using a lxc template instead of a clone:

          devhost11-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            lxc_profile:
              template: ubuntu
              # options:
              #   release: trusty
            network_profile:
              etho:
                link: lxcbr0
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

       Static ip:

          # Note: This example would go in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.
          devhost10-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            nic_opts:
              eth0:
                ipv4: 10.0.3.9
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

   Dependencies
       • 1and1 >= 1.2.0

   Configuration
       • Using   the   new   format,   set   up   the   cloud   configuration  at  /etc/salt/cloud.providers  or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/oneandone.conf:

          my-oneandone-config:
            driver: oneandone

            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Configure oneandone authentication credentials
            #
            api_token: <api_token>
            ssh_private_key: /path/to/id_rsa
            ssh_public_key: /path/to/id_rsa.pub

   Authentication
       The api_key is used for API authorization. This  token  can  be  obtained  from  the  CloudPanel  in  the
       Management section below Users.

   Profiles
       Here is an example of a profile:

          oneandone_fixed_size:
            provider: my-oneandone-config
            description: Small instance size server
            fixed_instance_size: S
            appliance_id: 8E3BAA98E3DFD37857810E0288DD8FBA

          oneandone_custom_size:
            provider: my-oneandone-config
            description: Custom size server
            vcore: 2
            cores_per_processor: 2
            ram: 8

   Getting Started with OpenNebula
       OpenNebula is an open-source solution for the comprehensive management of  virtualized  data  centers  to
       enable the mixed use of private, public, and hybrid IaaS clouds.

   Dependencies
       The  driver  requires  Python's lxml library to be installed. It also requires an OpenNebula installation
       running version 4.12 or greater.

   Configuration
       The following example illustrates some of the options that can be set. These parameters are discussed  in
       more detail below.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-opennebula-provider:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Define xml_rpc setting which Salt-Cloud uses to connect to the OpenNebula API. Required.
            #
            xml_rpc: http://localhost:2633/RPC2

            # Define the OpenNebula access credentials. This can be the main "oneadmin" user that OpenNebula uses as the
            # OpenNebula main admin, or it can be a user defined in the OpenNebula instance. Required.
            #
            user: oneadmin
            password: JHGhgsayu32jsa

            # Define the private key location that is used by OpenNebula to access new VMs. This setting is required if
            # provisioning new VMs or accessing VMs previously created with the associated public key.
            #
            private_key: /path/to/private/key

            driver: opennebula

   Access Credentials
       The Salt Cloud driver for OpenNebula was written using OpenNebula's native XML RPC API. Every interaction
       with  OpenNebula's  API  requires a username and password to make the connection from the machine running
       Salt Cloud to API running on the  OpenNebula  instance.  Based  on  the  access  credentials  passed  in,
       OpenNebula  filters  the  commands  that  the  user can perform or the information for which the user can
       query. For example, the images that a user can view with a --list-images command are the images that  the
       connected user and the connected user's groups can access.

   Key Pairs
       Salt  Cloud  needs  to be able to access a virtual machine in order to install the Salt Minion by using a
       public/private key pair. The virtual machine will need to be seeded with the public key,  which  is  laid
       down  by  the  OpenNebula  template.  Salt Cloud then uses the corresponding private key, provided by the
       private_key setting in the cloud provider file, to SSH into the new virtual machine.

       To seed the virtual machine with the public key, the public key must be added to the OpenNebula template.
       If using the OpenNebula web interface, navigate to the template, then click  Update.  Click  the  Context
       tab.  Under  the  Network  & SSH section, click Add SSH Contextualization and paste the public key in the
       Public Key box.  Don't forget to save your changes by clicking the green Update button.

       NOTE:
          The key pair must not have a pass-phrase.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set  up  an  initial  profile  at  either  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles  or  the  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/
       directory.

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04

       The profile can now be realized with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p my-opennebula-profile my-new-vm

       This  will  create  a  new  instance  named my-new-vm in OpenNebula. The minion that is installed on this
       instance will have a minion id of my-new-vm. If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key
       will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can  be  verified  with
       Salt:

          salt my-new-vm test.version

       OpenNebula uses an image --> template --> virtual machine paradigm where the template draws on the image,
       or  disk,  and virtual machines are created from templates. Because of this, there is no need to define a
       size in the cloud profile. The size of the virtual machine is defined in the template.

   Change Disk Size
       You can now change the size of a VM on creation by cloning an image  and  expanding  the  size.  You  can
       accomplish this by the following cloud profile settings below.

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096
                image: centos7-base-image-v2
              disk1:
                disk_type: volatile
                type: swap
                size: 4096
              disk2:
                disk_type: volatile
                size: 4096
                type: fs
                format: ext3

       There  are currently two different disk_types a user can use: volatile and clone. Clone which is required
       when specifying devices will clone an image in open nebula and will expand it to the  size  specified  in
       the  profile  settings.  By  default  this will clone the image attached to the template specified in the
       profile but a user can add the image argument under the disk definition.

       For example the profile below will not use Ubuntu-14.04 for the  cloned  disk  image.  It  will  use  the
       centos7-base-image image:

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096
                image: centos7-base-image

       If  you want to use the image attached to the template set in the profile you can simply remove the image
       argument as show below.  The profile below will clone the image Ubuntu-14.04 and expand the disk to 8GB.:

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096

       A user can also currently specify swap or fs disks. Below is an example of this profile setting:

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096
              disk1:
                disk_type: volatile
                type: swap
                size: 4096
              disk2:
                disk_type: volatile
                size: 4096
                type: fs
                format: ext3

       The example above will attach both a swap disk and a ext3 filesystem with a size of 4GB. To note  if  you
       define  other  disks  you have to define the image disk to clone because the template will write over the
       entire 'DISK=[]' template definition on creation.

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for OpenNebula:

          my-opennebula-config:
            xml_rpc: http://localhost:26633/RPC2
            user: oneadmin
            password: JHGhgsayu32jsa
            driver: opennebula

   Required Settings for VM Deployment
       The settings defined in the Required Settings section are required for all interactions with  OpenNebula.
       However,  when  deploying  a  virtual machine via Salt Cloud, an additional setting, private_key, is also
       required:

          my-opennebula-config:
            private_key: /path/to/private/key

   Listing Images
       Images can be queried on OpenNebula by passing the --list-images argument to Salt Cloud:

          salt-cloud --list-images opennebula

   Listing Locations
       In OpenNebula, locations are defined as hosts. Locations, or "hosts", can be querried  on  OpenNebula  by
       passing the --list-locations argument to Salt Cloud:

          salt-cloud --list-locations opennebula

   Listing Sizes
       Sizes  are defined by templates in OpenNebula. As such, the --list-sizes call returns an empty dictionary
       since there are no sizes to return.

   Additional OpenNebula API Functionality
       The Salt Cloud driver for OpenNebula was written using OpenNebula's native XML RPC  API.  As  such,  many
       --function  and  --action  calls were added to the OpenNebula driver to enhance support for an OpenNebula
       infrastructure with additional control from Salt Cloud. See the OpenNebula function definitions for  more
       information.

   Access via DNS entry instead of IP
       Some  OpenNebula installations do not assign IP addresses to new VMs, instead they establish the new VM's
       hostname based on OpenNebula's name of the VM, and then allocate an IP  out  of  DHCP  with  dynamic  DNS
       attaching  the  hostname.  This driver supports this behavior by adding the entry fqdn_base to the driver
       configuration or the OpenNebula profile with a value  matching  the  base  fully-qualified  domain.   For
       example:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-opennebula-provider:
            [...]
            fqdn_base: corp.example.com
            [...]

   Getting Started With Parallels
       Parallels  Cloud  Server  is a product by Parallels that delivers a cloud hosting solution. The PARALLELS
       module for Salt Cloud enables you to manage instances hosted using PCS. Further information can be  found
       at:

       http://www.parallels.com/products/pcs/

       • Using the old format, set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud:

          # Set up the location of the salt master
          #
          minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

          # Set the PARALLELS access credentials (see below)
          #
          PARALLELS.user: myuser
          PARALLELS.password: badpass

          # Set the access URL for your PARALLELS host
          #
          PARALLELS.url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/

       • Using   the   new   format,   set   up   the   cloud   configuration  at  /etc/salt/cloud.providers  or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/parallels.conf:

          my-parallels-config:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set the PARALLELS access credentials (see below)
            #
            user: myuser
            password: badpass

            # Set the access URL for your PARALLELS provider
            #
            url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/
            driver: parallels

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Access Credentials
       The user, password, and url will be provided to you by your cloud host. These are all required  in  order
       for the PARALLELS driver to work.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/parallels.conf:

          parallels-ubuntu:
              provider: my-parallels-config
              image: ubuntu-12.04-x86_64

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p parallels-ubuntu myubuntu

       This  will  create  an  instance  named  myubuntu on the cloud host. The minion that is installed on this
       instance will have an id of myubuntu.  If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key  will
       automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance  has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with
       Salt:

          # salt myubuntu test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for PARALLELS:

       • Using the old cloud configuration format:

          PARALLELS.user: myuser
          PARALLELS.password: badpass
          PARALLELS.url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/

       • Using the new cloud configuration format:

          my-parallels-config:
            user: myuser
            password: badpass
            url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/
            driver: parallels

   Optional Settings
       Unlike other cloud providers in Salt Cloud, Parallels does not utilize a size setting.  This  is  because
       Parallels  allows  the  end-user  to  specify  a  more detailed configuration for their instances than is
       allowed by many other cloud hosts. The following options are available to be  used  in  a  profile,  with
       their default settings listed.

          # Description of the instance. Defaults to the instance name.
          desc: <instance_name>

          # How many CPU cores, and how fast they are (in MHz)
          cpu_number: 1
          cpu_power: 1000

          # How many megabytes of RAM
          ram: 256

          # Bandwidth available, in kbps
          bandwidth: 100

          # How many public IPs will be assigned to this instance
          ip_num: 1

          # Size of the instance disk (in GiB)
          disk_size: 10

          # Username and password
          ssh_username: root
          password: <value from PARALLELS.password>

          # The name of the image, from ``salt-cloud --list-images parallels``
          image: ubuntu-12.04-x86_64

   Getting Started With ProfitBricks
       ProfitBricks provides an enterprise-grade Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution that can be managed
       through  a browser-based "Data Center Designer" (DCD) tool or via an easy to use API. A unique feature of
       the ProfitBricks platform is that it allows you to define your own settings for cores, memory,  and  disk
       size without being tied to a particular server size.

   Dependencies
       • profitbricks >= 4.1.1

   Configuration
       • Using   the   new   format,   set   up   the   cloud   configuration  at  /etc/salt/cloud.providers  or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/profitbricks.conf:

          my-profitbricks-config:
            driver: profitbricks

            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            #
            username: user@domain.com
            password: 123456
            # datacenter is the UUID of a pre-existing virtual data center.
            datacenter: 9e6709a0-6bf9-4bd6-8692-60349c70ce0e
            # delete_volumes is forcing a deletion of all volumes attached to a server on a deletion of a server
            delete_volumes: true
            # Connect to public LAN ID 1.
            public_lan: 1
            ssh_public_key: /path/to/id_rsa.pub
            ssh_private_key: /path/to/id_rsa

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Virtual Data Center
       ProfitBricks uses the concept of Virtual Data Centers. These are logically separated from one another and
       allow you to have a self-contained environment for all servers, volumes, networking,  snapshots,  and  so
       forth.

       A list of existing virtual data centers can be retrieved with the following command:

          salt-cloud -f list_datacenters my-profitbricks-config

       A new data center can be created with the following command:

          salt-cloud -f create_datacenter my-profitbricks-config name=example location=us/las description="my description"

   Authentication
       The username and password are the same as those used to log into the ProfitBricks "Data Center Designer".

   Profiles
       Here is an example of a profile:

          profitbricks_staging

   Getting Started With Proxmox
       Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete server virtualization management solution, based  on  OpenVZ(in
       Proxmox  up  to  3.4)/LXC(from Proxmox 4.0 and up) and full virtualization with KVM.  Further information
       can be found at:

       https://www.proxmox.com

   Dependencies
       • IPy >= 0.81

       • requests >= 2.2.1

       Please note: This module allows you to create OpenVZ/LXC containers and KVM VMs, but installing  Salt  on
       it will only be done on containers rather than a KVM virtual machine.

       • Set       up       the       cloud       configuration       at       /etc/salt/cloud.providers      or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/proxmox.conf:

          my-proxmox-config:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set the PROXMOX access credentials (see below)
            #
            user: myuser@pve
            password: badpass

            # Set the access URL for your PROXMOX host
            #
            url: your.proxmox.host
            driver: proxmox

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Access Credentials
       The user, password, and url will be provided to you by your cloud host. These are all required  in  order
       for the PROXMOX driver to work.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/proxmox.conf:

       • Configure a profile to be used:

          proxmox-ubuntu:
              provider: my-proxmox-config
              image: local:vztmpl/ubuntu-12.04-standard_12.04-1_amd64.tar.gz
              technology: lxc

              # host needs to be set to the configured name of the proxmox host
              # and not the ip address or FQDN of the server
              host: myvmhost
              ip_address: 192.168.100.155
              password: topsecret

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p proxmox-ubuntu myubuntu

       This  will  create  an  instance  named  myubuntu on the cloud host. The minion that is installed on this
       instance will have a hostname of myubuntu.  If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt  key
       will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance  has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with
       Salt:

          # salt myubuntu test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for PROXMOX:

       • Using the new cloud configuration format:

          my-proxmox-config:
            driver: proxmox
            user: saltcloud@pve
            password: xyzzy
            url: your.proxmox.host

   Optional Settings
       Unlike other cloud providers in Salt Cloud, Proxmox does not utilize a  size  setting.  This  is  because
       Proxmox allows the end-user to specify a more detailed configuration for their instances, than is allowed
       by  many  other  cloud providers. The following options are available to be used in a profile, with their
       default settings listed.

          # Description of the instance.
          desc: <instance_name>

          # How many CPU cores, and how fast they are (in MHz)
          cpus: 1
          cpuunits: 1000

          # How many megabytes of RAM
          memory: 256

          # How much swap space in MB
          swap: 256

          # Whether to auto boot the vm after the host reboots
          onboot: 1

          # Size of the instance disk (in GiB)
          disk: 10

          # Host to create this vm on
          host: myvmhost

          # Nameservers. Defaults to host
          nameserver: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

          # Username and password
          ssh_username: root
          password: <value from PROXMOX.password>

          # The name of the image, from ``salt-cloud --list-images proxmox``
          image: local:vztmpl/ubuntu-12.04-standard_12.04-1_amd64.tar.gz

          # Whether or not to verify the SSL cert on the Proxmox host
          verify_ssl: False

          # Network interfaces, netX
          net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,ip=dhcp

          # Public key to add to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.
          pubkey: 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABA...'

   QEMU
       Some functionnalities works differently if you use 'qemu' as technology. In order to create a new VM with
       qemu, you need to specificy some more information.  You can also clone a qemu template which  already  is
       on your Proxmox server.

       QEMU profile file (for a new VM):

          proxmox-win7:
            # Image of the new VM
            image: image.iso # You can get all your available images using 'salt-cloud --list-images provider_name' (Ex: 'salt-cloud --list-images my-proxmox-config')

            # Technology used to create the VM ('qemu', 'openvz'(on Proxmox <4.x) or 'lxc'(on Proxmox 4.x+))
            technology: qemu

            # Proxmox node name
            host: node_name

            # Proxmox password
            password: your_password

            # Workaround https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/27821
            size: ''

            # RAM size (MB)
            memory: 2048

            # OS Type enum (other / wxp / w2k / w2k3 / w2k8 / wvista / win7 / win8 / l24 / l26 / solaris)
            ostype: win7

            # Hard disk location
            sata0: <location>:<size>, format=<qcow2/vmdk/raw>, size=<size>GB #Example: local:120,format=qcow2,size=120GB

            #CD/DVD Drive
            ide2: <content_location>,media=cdrom #Example: local:iso/name.iso,media=cdrom

            # Network Device
            net0:<model>,bridge=<bridge> #Example: e1000,bridge=vmbr0

            # Enable QEMU Guest Agent (0 / 1)
            agent: 1

            # VM name
            name: Test

       More     information     about    these    parameters    can    be    found    on    Proxmox    API    (‐
       http://pve.proxmox.com/pve2-api-doc/) under the 'POST' method of nodes/{node}/qemu

       QEMU profile file (for a clone):

          proxmox-win7:
            # Enable Clone
            clone: True

            # New VM description
            clone_description: 'description'

            # New VM name
            clone_name: 'name'

            # New VM format (qcow2 / raw / vmdk)
            clone_format: qcow2

            # Full clone (1) or Link clone (0)
            clone_full: 0

            # VMID of Template to clone
            clone_from: ID

            # Technology used to create the VM ('qemu' or 'lxc')
            technology: qemu

            # Proxmox node name
            host: node_name

            password: your_password

            # Workaround https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/27821
            size: ''

       More information can be found on Proxmox API under the 'POST' method of /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/clone

       NOTE:
          The Proxmox API offers a lot more options  and  parameters,  which  are  not  yet  supported  by  this
          salt-cloud  'overlay'.  Feel  free  to  add  your  contribution  by  forking the github repository and
          modifying  the following file: salt/cloud/clouds/proxmox.py

          An easy way to support more parameters for VM creation would be to  add  the  names  of  the  optional
          parameters  in  the  'create_nodes(vm_)' function, under the 'qemu' technology. But it requires you to
          dig into the code ...

   Getting Started With Scaleway
       Scaleway is the first IaaS host worldwide to offer an ARM  based  cloud.  It’s  the  ideal  platform  for
       horizontal  scaling  with BareMetal SSD servers. The solution provides on demand resources: it comes with
       on-demand  SSD  storage,  movable  IPs  ,  images,  security  group  and  an  Object  Storage   solution.
       https://scaleway.com

   Configuration
       Using  Salt  for  Scaleway,  requires  an  access key and an API token. API tokens are unique identifiers
       associated with your Scaleway account.  To retrieve your access key and API token, log-in to the Scaleway
       control panel, open the pull-down menu on your account name and click on "My Credentials" link.

       If you do not have API token you can create one by clicking the "Create New Token" button  on  the  right
       corner.

   Getting Started With Saltify
       The Saltify driver is a driver for installing Salt on existing machines (virtual or bare metal).

   Dependencies
       The Saltify driver has no external dependencies.

   Configuration
       Because the Saltify driver does not use an actual cloud provider host, it  can  have  a  simple  provider
       configuration.  The  only  thing that is required to be set is the driver name, and any other potentially
       useful information, like the location of the salt-master:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers file or any file in
          # the /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-saltify-config:
            minion:
              master: 111.222.333.444
            driver: saltify

       However, if you wish to use the more advanced capabilities of salt-cloud, such as rebooting, listing, and
       disconnecting machines, then the salt master must fill the role usually performed  by  a  vendor's  cloud
       management  system.  The salt master must be running on the salt-cloud machine, and created nodes must be
       connected to the master.

       Additional information about which configuration options apply to which actions can  be  studied  in  the
       Saltify Module documentation and the Miscellaneous Salt Cloud Options document.

   Profiles
       Saltify  requires a separate profile to be configured for each machine that needs Salt installed [1]. The
       initial profile  can  be  set  up  at  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles  or  in  the  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/
       directory.  Each profile requires both an ssh_host and an ssh_username key parameter as well as either an
       key_filename or a password.

       [1]  Unless you are using a map file to provide the unique parameters.

            Profile configuration example:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          salt-this-machine:
            ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
            ssh_username: root
            key_filename: '/etc/salt/mysshkey.pem'
            provider: my-saltify-config

       The machine can now be "Salted" with the following command:

          salt-cloud -p salt-this-machine my-machine

       This will install salt on the machine specified by the cloud profile, salt-this-machine,  and  will  give
       the  machine  the  minion  id of my-machine. If the command was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key
       will automatically be accepted by the master.

       Once a salt-minion has been successfully installed on the instance, connectivity to it  can  be  verified
       with Salt:

          salt my-machine test.version

   Destroy Options
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       For  obvious  reasons,  the  destroy  action does not actually vaporize hardware.  If the salt  master is
       connected, it can tear down parts of the client machines.  It will remove the client's key from the  salt
       master, and can execute the following options:

          - remove_config_on_destroy: true
            # default: true
            # Deactivate salt-minion on reboot and
            # delete the minion config and key files from its "/etc/salt" directory,
            #   NOTE: If deactivation was unsuccessful (older Ubuntu machines) then when
            #   salt-minion restarts it will automatically create a new, unwanted, set
            #   of key files. Use the "force_minion_config" option to replace them.

          - shutdown_on_destroy: false
            # default: false
            # last of all, send a "shutdown" command to the client.

   Wake On LAN
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       In  addition  to  connecting  a  hardware  machine  to  a  Salt  master, you have the option of sending a
       wake-on-LAN magic packet to start that machine running.

       The "magic packet" must be sent by an existing salt minion which is on the same network  segment  as  the
       target machine. (Or your router must be set up especially to route WoL packets.) Your target machine must
       be set up to listen for WoL and to respond appropriately.

       You  must  provide  the  Salt  node  id  of  the  machine  which  will  send  the  WoL  packet (parameter
       wol_sender_node),  and  the  hardware  MAC  address  of  the  machine  you  intend  to  wake,  (parameter
       wake_on_lan_mac).  If both parameters are defined, the WoL will be sent. The cloud master will then sleep
       a while (parameter wol_boot_wait) to give the target machine time to boot up before we start probing  its
       SSH port to begin deploying Salt to it. The default sleep time is 30 seconds.

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          salt-this-machine:
            ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
            ssh_username: root
            key_filename: '/etc/salt/mysshkey.pem'
            provider: my-saltify-config
            wake_on_lan_mac: '00:e0:4c:70:2a:b2'  # found with ifconfig
            wol_sender_node: bevymaster  # its on this network segment
            wol_boot_wait: 45  # seconds to sleep

   Using Map Files
       The  settings  explained in the section above may also be set in a map file. An example of how to use the
       Saltify driver with a map file follows:

          # /etc/salt/saltify-map

          make_salty:
            - my-instance-0:
                ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
                ssh_username: root
                password: very-bad-password
            - my-instance-1:
                ssh_host: 44.33.22.11
                ssh_username: root
                password: another-bad-pass

       In this example, the names my-instance-0 and my-instance-1  will  be  the  identifiers  of  the  deployed
       minions.

       Note:  The  ssh_host  directive is also used for Windows hosts, even though they do not typically run the
       SSH service. It indicates IP address or host name for the target system.

       Note: When using a cloud map with the Saltify driver, the name of  the  profile  to  use,  in  this  case
       make_salty, must be defined in a profile config. For example:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          make_salty:
            provider: my-saltify-config

       The machines listed in the map file can now be "Salted" by applying the following salt map command:

          salt-cloud -m /etc/salt/saltify-map

       This  command  will  install  salt  on the machines specified in the map and will give each machine their
       minion id of  my-instance-0  and  my-instance-1,  respectively.  If  the  command  was  executed  on  the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Connectivity to the new "Salted" instances can now be verified with Salt:

          salt 'my-instance-*' test.version

   Bulk Deployments
       When  deploying  large  numbers  of  Salt  Minions  using  Saltify,  it may be preferable to organize the
       configuration in a way that duplicates data as little as possible. For example,  if  a  group  of  target
       systems have the same credentials, they can be specified in the profile, rather than in a map file.

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          make_salty:
            provider: my-saltify-config
            ssh_username: root
            password: very-bad-password

          # /etc/salt/saltify-map

          make_salty:
            - my-instance-0:
                ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
            - my-instance-1:
                ssh_host: 44.33.22.11

       If  ssh_host  is  not  provided,  its  default  value  will  be  the Minion identifier (my-instance-0 and
       my-instance-1, in the example above). For deployments with working DNS resolution, this can save a lot of
       redundant data in the map. Here is an example map file using DNS names instead of IP addresses:

          # /etc/salt/saltify-map

          make_salty:
            - my-instance-0
            - my-instance-1

   Credential Verification
       Because the Saltify driver does not actually create VM's, unlike other salt-cloud drivers, it has special
       behaviour when the deploy option is set to False. When the cloud configuration specifies  deploy:  False,
       the  Saltify  driver will attempt to authenticate to the target node(s) and return True for each one that
       succeeds. This can be  useful  to  verify  ports,  protocols,  services  and  credentials  are  correctly
       configured before a live deployment.

       Return values:True: Credential verification succeeded

              • False: Credential verification succeeded

              • None: Credential verification was not attempted.

   Getting Started With SoftLayer
       SoftLayer is a public cloud host, and baremetal hardware hosting service.

   Dependencies
       The SoftLayer driver for Salt Cloud requires the softlayer package, which is available at PyPI:

       https://pypi.org/project/SoftLayer/

       This package can be installed using pip or easy_install:

          # pip install softlayer
          # easy_install softlayer

   Configuration
       Set up the cloud config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers:

          # Note: These examples are for /etc/salt/cloud.providers

            my-softlayer:
              # Set up the location of the salt master
              minion:
                master: saltmaster.example.com

              # Set the SoftLayer access credentials (see below)
              user: MYUSER1138
              apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'

              driver: softlayer

            my-softlayer-hw:
              # Set up the location of the salt master
              minion:
                master: saltmaster.example.com

              # Set the SoftLayer access credentials (see below)
              user: MYUSER1138
              apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'

              driver: softlayer_hw

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud  provider
          definitions  now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider  to  refer  to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Access Credentials
       The  user  setting  is the same user as is used to log into the SoftLayer Administration area. The apikey
       setting is found inside the Admin area after logging in:

       • Hover over the Account menu item.

       • Click the Users link.

       • Find the API Key column and click View.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
            provider: my-softlayer
            image: UBUNTU_LATEST
            cpu_number: 1
            ram: 1024
            disk_size: 100
            local_disk: True
            hourly_billing: True
            domain: example.com
            location: sjc01
            # Optional
            max_net_speed: 1000
            private_vlan: 396
            private_network: True
            private_ssh: True
            # Use a dedicated host instead of cloud
            dedicated_host_id: 1234
            # May be used _instead_of_ image
            global_identifier: 320d8be5-46c0-dead-cafe-13e3c51

       Most of the above items are required; optional items are specified below.

   image
       Images to build an instance can be found using the --list-images option:

          # salt-cloud --list-images my-softlayer

       The setting used will be labeled as template.

   cpu_number
       This is the number of CPU cores that will be used for this instance. This number may  be  dependent  upon
       the image that is used. For instance:

          Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (1 - 4 Core):
              ----------
              name:
                  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (1 - 4 Core)
              template:
                  REDHAT_6_64
          Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (5 - 100 Core):
              ----------
              name:
                  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (5 - 100 Core)
              template:
                  REDHAT_6_64

       Note  that the template (meaning, the image option) for both of these is the same, but the names suggests
       how many CPU cores are supported.

   ram
       This is the amount of memory, in megabytes, that will be allocated to this instance.

   disk_size
       The amount of disk space that will be allocated to this image, in gigabytes.

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
            disk_size: 100

   Using Multiple Disks
       New in version 2015.8.1.

       SoftLayer allows up to 5 disks to be specified for a virtual machine upon creation. Multiple disks can be
       specified either as a list or a comma-delimited string. The first disk_size specified in  the  string  or
       list will be the first disk size assigned to the VM.

       List Example: .. code-block:: yaml

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
                 disk_size: ['100', '20', '20']

       String Example: .. code-block:: yaml

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
                 disk_size: '100, 20, 20'

   local_disk
       When  true  the disks for the computing instance will be provisioned on the host which it runs, otherwise
       SAN disks will be provisioned.

   hourly_billing
       When true the computing instance will be billed on hourly usage, otherwise it will be billed on a monthly
       basis.

   domain
       The domain name that will be used in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for this instance. The domain
       setting will be used in conjunction with the instance name to form the FQDN.

   use_fqdn
       If set to True, the Minion will be identified by the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) which is a result
       of combining the domain configuration value and the Minion name specified either via the  CLI  or  a  map
       file rather than only using the short host name, or Minion ID. Default is False.

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       For  example,  if the value of domain is example.com and a new VM was created via the CLI with salt-cloud
       -p base_softlayer_ubuntu my-vm, the resulting Minion ID would be my-vm.example.com.

       NOTE:
          When enabling the use_fqdn setting, the Minion ID will  be  the  FQDN  and  will  interact  with  salt
          commands  with  the  FQDN  instead of the short hostname. However, due to the way the SoftLayer API is
          constructed, some Salt Cloud functions such as listing nodes or destroying  VMs  will  only  list  the
          short hostname of the VM instead of the FQDN.

       Example output displaying the SoftLayer hostname quirk mentioned in the note above (note the Minion ID is
       my-vm.example.com, but the VM to be destroyed is listed with its short hostname, my-vm):

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          my-vm.example.com

                      True

   location
       Images to build an instance can be found using the --list-locations option:

          # salt-cloud --list-location my-softlayer

   max_net_speed
       Specifies  the  connection  speed  for  the  instance's  network components. This setting is optional. By
       default, this is set to 10.

   post_uri
       Specifies the uri location of the script to be downloaded and run after the instance is provisioned.

       New in version 2015.8.1.

       Example: .. code-block:: yaml

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
                 post_uri: 'https://SOMESERVERIP:8000/myscript.sh'

   public_vlan
       If it is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific frontend VLAN, the ID  for  that  VLAN
       can be specified in either the provider or profile configuration.

       This ID can be queried using the list_vlans function, as described below. This setting is optional.

       If this setting is set to None, salt-cloud will connect to the private ip of the server.

       NOTE:
          If  this  setting  is  not  provided  and  the  server is not built with a public vlan, private_ssh or
          private_wds will need to be set to make sure that salt-cloud attempts to connect to the private ip.

   private_vlan
       If it is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific backend VLAN, the ID for that VLAN can
       be specified in either the provider or profile configuration.

       This ID can be queried using the list_vlans function, as described below. This setting is optional.

   private_network
       If a server is to only be used internally, meaning it does not have a public  VLAN  associated  with  it,
       this value would be set to True. This setting is optional. The default is False.

   private_ssh or private_wds
       Whether  to run the deploy script on the server using the public IP address or the private IP address. If
       set to True, Salt Cloud will attempt to SSH or WinRM into the new server using the  private  IP  address.
       The default is False.  This settiong is optional.

   global_identifier
       When creating an instance using a custom template, this option is set to the corresponding value obtained
       using  the  list_custom_images function. This option will not be used if an image is set, and if an image
       is not set, it is required.

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p base_softlayer_ubuntu myserver

       Using the above configuration, this will create myserver.example.com.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can  be  verified  with
       Salt:

          # salt 'myserver.example.com' test.version

   Dedicated Host
       Soflayer  allows  the  creation  of  new VMs in a dedicated host. This means that you can order and pay a
       fixed amount for a bare metal dedicated host and use it to provision as many VMs as you can fit in there.
       If you want your VMs to be  launched  in  a  dedicated  host,  instead  of  Sofltayer's  cloud,  set  the
       dedicated_host_id parameter in your profile.

   dedicated_host_id
       The  id  of  the  dedicated  host  where  the  VMs  should be created. If not set, VMs will be created in
       Softlayer's cloud instead.

   Bare metal Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          base_softlayer_hw_centos:
            provider: my-softlayer-hw
            # CentOS 6.0 - Minimal Install (64 bit)
            image: 13963
            # 2 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance - 2 GB Ram
            size: 1921
            # 500GB SATA II
            hdd: 1267
            # San Jose 01
            location: 168642
            domain: example.com
            # Optional
            vlan: 396
            port_speed: 273
            banwidth: 248

       Most of the above items are required; optional items are specified below.

   image
       Images to build an instance can be found using the --list-images option:

          # salt-cloud --list-images my-softlayer-hw

       A list of id`s and names will be provided. The `name will describe the operating system and architecture.
       The id will be the setting to be used in the profile.

   size
       Sizes to build an instance can be found using the --list-sizes option:

          # salt-cloud --list-sizes my-softlayer-hw

       A list of id`s and names will be provided. The `name will describe the speed and quantity of  CPU  cores,
       and  the  amount  of  memory that the hardware will contain. The id will be the setting to be used in the
       profile.

   hdd
       There is currently only one size of hard disk drive (HDD) that is available  for  hardware  instances  on
       SoftLayer:

          1267: 500GB SATA II

       The hdd setting in the profile should be 1267. Other sizes may be added in the future.

   location
       Locations to build an instance can be found using the --list-images option:

          # salt-cloud --list-locations my-softlayer-hw

       A  list of IDs and names will be provided. The location will describe the location in human terms. The id
       will be the setting to be used in the profile.

   domain
       The domain name that will be used in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for this instance. The domain
       setting will be used in conjunction with the instance name to form the FQDN.

   vlan
       If it is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific VLAN, the ID  for  that  VLAN  can  be
       specified in either the provider or profile configuration.

       This ID can be queried using the list_vlans function, as described below.

   port_speed
       Specifies  the  speed  for the instance's network port. This setting refers to an ID within the SoftLayer
       API, which sets the port speed. This setting is optional. The default is  273,  or,  100  Mbps  Public  &
       Private Networks. The following settings are available:

       • 273: 100 Mbps Public & Private Networks

       • 274: 1 Gbps Public & Private Networks

       • 21509: 10 Mbps Dual Public & Private Networks (up to 20 Mbps)

       • 21513: 100 Mbps Dual Public & Private Networks (up to 200 Mbps)

       • 2314: 1 Gbps Dual Public & Private Networks (up to 2 Gbps)

       • 272: 10 Mbps Public & Private Networks

   bandwidth
       Specifies  the  network  bandwidth  available  for  the instance. This setting refers to an ID within the
       SoftLayer API, which sets the bandwidth. This setting is optional.  The  default  is  248,  or,  5000  GB
       Bandwidth. The following settings are available:

       • 248: 5000 GB Bandwidth

       • 129: 6000 GB Bandwidth

       • 130: 8000 GB Bandwidth

       • 131: 10000 GB Bandwidth

       • 36: Unlimited Bandwidth (10 Mbps Uplink)

       • 125: Unlimited Bandwidth (100 Mbps Uplink)

   Actions
       The following actions are currently supported by the SoftLayer Salt Cloud driver.

   show_instance
       This  action  is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single instance only. In
       an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having  to  sort  through  all  instance
       data, just to examine a single instance.

          $ salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Functions
       The following functions are currently supported by the SoftLayer Salt Cloud driver.

   list_vlans
       This  function  lists  all  VLANs  associated with the account, and all known data from the SoftLayer API
       concerning those VLANs.

          $ salt-cloud -f list_vlans my-softlayer
          $ salt-cloud -f list_vlans my-softlayer-hw

       The id returned in this list is necessary for the vlan option when creating an instance.

   list_custom_images
       This function lists any custom templates associated with the account, that can be used to  create  a  new
       instance.

          $ salt-cloud -f list_custom_images my-softlayer

       The globalIdentifier returned in this list is necessary for the global_identifier option when creating an
       image using a custom template.

   Optional Products for SoftLayer HW
       The softlayer_hw driver supports the ability to add optional products, which are supported by SoftLayer's
       API.  These  products  each  have an ID associated with them, that can be passed into Salt Cloud with the
       optional_products option:

          softlayer_hw_test:
            provider: my-softlayer-hw
            # CentOS 6.0 - Minimal Install (64 bit)
            image: 13963
            # 2 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance - 2 GB Ram
            size: 1921
            # 500GB SATA II
            hdd: 1267
            # San Jose 01
            location: 168642
            domain: example.com
            optional_products:
              # MySQL for Linux
              - id: 28
              # Business Continuance Insurance
              - id: 104

   Getting Started With Vagrant
       The  Vagrant  driver  is  a  new,  experimental  driver for spinning up a VagrantBox virtual machine, and
       installing Salt on it.

   Dependencies
       The Vagrant driver itself has no external dependencies.

       The machine which will host the VagrantBox must be an already existing minion of the cloud server's  Salt
       master.   It  must  have  Vagrant  installed,  and  a  Vagrant-compatible virtual machine engine, such as
       VirtualBox.  (Note: The Vagrant driver does not depend on the salt-cloud VirtualBox driver in any way.)

       [Caution: The version of Vagrant packaged for apt install in Ubuntu 16.04  will  not  connect  a  bridged
       network adapter correctly. Use a version downloaded directly from the web site.]

       Include the Vagrant guest editions plugin: vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest.

   Configuration
       Configuration  of  the  client virtual machine (using VirtualBox, VMware, etc) will be done by Vagrant as
       specified in the Vagrantfile on the host machine.

       Salt-cloud will push the commands to install and provision a salt minion on the virtual machine,  so  you
       need not (perhaps should not) provision salt in your Vagrantfile, in most cases.

       If, however, your cloud master cannot open an SSH connection to the child VM, you may need to let Vagrant
       provision  the VM with Salt, and use some other method (such as passing a pillar dictionary to the VM) to
       pass the master's IP address to the VM. The VM can then attempt to reach the salt master in the usual way
       for non-cloud minions. Specify the profile configuration argument as deploy: False to prevent  the  cloud
       master from trying.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers file or any file in
          # the /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-vagrant-config:
            minion:
              master: 111.222.333.444
            provider: vagrant

       Because  the  Vagrant  driver  needs  a place to store the mapping between the node name you use for Salt
       commands and the Vagrantfile which controls the VM, you must configure your salt minion  as  a  Salt  smb
       server.  (See host provisioning example below.)

   Profiles
       Vagrant  requires  a  profile  to  be  configured for each machine that needs Salt installed. The initial
       profile can be set up at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or in the /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.

       Each profile requires a vagrantfile parameter. If the Vagrantfile has definitions for  multiple  machines
       then you need a machine parameter,

       Salt-cloud  uses  SSH to provision the minion. There must be a routable path from the cloud master to the
       VM. Usually, you will want to use a bridged network adapter for SSH. The address may not be  known  until
       DHCP  assigns  it.  If ssh_host is not defined, and target_network is defined, the driver will attempt to
       read the address from the output of an ifconfig command. Lacking either setting, the driver will  try  to
       use  the  value  Vagrant  returns  as  its  ssh_host, which will work only if the cloud master is running
       somewhere on the same host.

       The target_network setting should be used to identify the IP network your bridged adapter is expected  to
       appear on.  Use CIDR notation, like target_network: '2001:DB8::/32' or target_network: '192.0.2.0/24'.

       Profile configuration example:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/vagrant.conf

          vagrant-machine:
            host: my-vhost  # the Salt id of the virtual machine's host computer.
            provider: my-vagrant-config
            cwd: /srv/machines  # the path to your Vagrantfile.
            vagrant_runas: my-username  # the username who defined the Vagrantbox on the host
            # vagrant_up_timeout: 300 # (seconds) timeout for cmd.run of the "vagrant up" command
            # vagrant_provider: '' # option for "vagrant up" like: "--provider vmware_fusion"
            # ssh_host: None  # "None" means try to find the routable IP address from "ifconfig"
            # ssh_username: '' # also required when ssh_host is used.
            # target_network: None  # Expected CIDR address range of your bridged network
            # force_minion_config: false  # Set "true" to re-purpose an existing VM

       The machine can now be created and configured with the following command:

          salt-cloud -p vagrant-machine my-id

       This  will  create  the machine specified by the cloud profile vagrant-machine, and will give the machine
       the minion id of my-id. If the cloud master is also the salt-master, its Salt key will  automatically  be
       accepted on the master.

       Once  a  salt-minion  has been successfully installed on the instance, connectivity to it can be verified
       with Salt:

          salt my-id test.version

   Provisioning a Vagrant cloud host (example)
       In order to query or control minions it created, each host minion needs to  track  the  Salt  node  names
       associated with any guest virtual machines on it.  It does that using a Salt sdb database.

       The Salt sdb is not configured by default. The following example shows a simple installation.

       This example assumes:

       • you are on a large network using the 10.x.x.x IP address space

       • your Salt master's Salt id is "bevymaster"

       • it will also be your salt-cloud controller

       • it is at hardware address 10.124.30.7

       • it is running a recent Debian family Linux (raspbian)

       • your workstation is a Salt minion of bevymaster

       • your workstation's minion id is "my_laptop"

       • VirtualBox has been installed on "my_laptop" (apt install is okay)

       • Vagrant was installed from vagrantup.com. (not the 16.04 Ubuntu apt)

       • "my_laptop" has done "vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest"

       • the VM you want to start is on "my_laptop" at "/home/my_username/Vagrantfile"

          # file /etc/salt/minion.d/vagrant_sdb.conf on host computer "my_laptop"
          #  -- this sdb database is required by the Vagrant module --
          vagrant_sdb_data:  # The sdb database must have this name.
            driver: sqlite3  # Let's use SQLite to store the data ...
            database: /var/cache/salt/vagrant.sqlite  # ... in this file ...
            table: sdb  # ... using this table name.
            create_table: True  # if not present

       Remember to re-start your minion after changing its configuration files...
          sudo systemctl restart salt-minion

   Getting Started with VEXXHOST
       VEXXHOST  is  a  cloud computing host which provides Canadian cloud computing services which are based in
       Monteral and use the libcloud OpenStack driver.  VEXXHOST currently runs the Havana release of OpenStack.
       When provisioning new instances, they automatically get a public IP and private IP  address.   Therefore,
       you do not need to assign a floating IP to access your instance after it's booted.

   Cloud Provider Configuration
       To  use  the  openstack  driver for the VEXXHOST public cloud, you will need to set up the cloud provider
       configuration file as in the example below:

       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vexxhost.conf: In order to use the VEXXHOST public cloud, you  will  need  to
       setup a cloud provider configuration file as in the example below which uses the OpenStack driver.

          my-vexxhost-config:
            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Configure VEXXHOST using the OpenStack plugin
            #
            identity_url: http://auth.api.thenebulacloud.com:5000/v2.0/tokens
            compute_name: nova

            # Set the compute region:
            #
            compute_region: na-yul-nhs1

            # Configure VEXXHOST authentication credentials
            #
            user: your-tenant-id
            password: your-api-key
            tenant: your-tenant-name

            # keys to allow connection to the instance launched
            #
            ssh_key_name: yourkey
            ssh_key_file: /path/to/key/yourkey.priv

            driver: openstack

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud  provider
          definitions  now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider  to  refer  to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Authentication
       All  of  the  authentication  fields  that  you  need can be found by logging into your VEXXHOST customer
       center.  Once you've logged in, you will  need  to  click  on  "CloudConsole"  and  then  click  on  "API
       Credentials".

   Cloud Profile Configuration
       In order to get the correct image UUID and the instance type to use in the cloud profile, you can run the
       following command respectively:

          # salt-cloud --list-images=vexxhost-config
          # salt-cloud --list-sizes=vexxhost-config

       Once  you  have that, you can go ahead and create a new cloud profile.  This profile will build an Ubuntu
       12.04 LTS nb.2G instance.

       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/vh_ubuntu1204_2G.conf:

          vh_ubuntu1204_2G:
            provider: my-vexxhost-config
            image: 4051139f-750d-4d72-8ef0-074f2ccc7e5a
            size: nb.2G

   Provision an instance
       To create an instance based on the sample profile that we  created  above,  you  can  run  the  following
       salt-cloud command.

          # salt-cloud -p vh_ubuntu1204_2G vh_instance1

       Typically,  instances  are  provisioned  in  under  30  seconds  on the VEXXHOST public cloud.  After the
       instance provisions, it will be set up a minion and then return all the instance  information  once  it's
       complete.

       Once the instance has been setup, you can test connectivity to it by running the following command:

          # salt vh_instance1 test.version

       You  can  now continue to provision new instances and they will all automatically be set up as minions of
       the master you've defined in the configuration file.

   Getting Started With Virtualbox
       The Virtualbox cloud module allows you to manage a local Virtualbox hypervisor.  Remote  hypervisors  may
       come later on.

   Dependencies
       The  virtualbox  module  for  Salt  Cloud  requires the Virtualbox SDK which is contained in a virtualbox
       installation from

       https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

   Configuration
       The Virtualbox cloud module just needs to use the virtualbox driver for now. Virtualbox will  be  run  as
       the running user.

       /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/virtualbox.conf:

          virtualbox-config:
             driver: virtualbox

   Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/virtualbox.conf:

          virtualbox-test:
              provider: virtualbox-config
              clonefrom: VM_to_clone_from
              # Optional
              power_on: True
              deploy: True
              ssh_username: a_username
              password: a_password
              sudo: a_username
              sudo_password: a_password
              # Example minion config
              minion:
                  master: localhost
              make_master: True

       clonefrom Mandatory
              Enter the name of the VM/template to clone from.

       So far only machines can only be cloned and automatically provisioned by Salt Cloud.

   Provisioning
       In order to provision when creating a new machine power_on and deploy have to be True.

       Furthermore to connect to the VM ssh_username and password will have to be set.

       sudo and sudo_password are the credentials for getting root access in order to deploy salt

   Actions
       start  Attempt to boot a VM by name. VMs should have unique names in order to boot the correct one.

       stop   Attempt to stop a VM. This is akin to a force shutdown or 5 second press.

   Functions
       show_image
              Show all available information about a VM given by the image parameter

                 $ salt-cloud -f show_image virtualbox image=my_vm_name

   Getting Started With VMware
       New in version 2015.5.4.

       Author: Nitin Madhok <nmadhok@g.clemson.edu>

       The VMware cloud module allows you to manage VMware ESX, ESXi, and vCenter.

   Dependencies
       The vmware module for Salt Cloud requires the pyVmomi package, which is available at PyPI:

       https://pypi.org/project/pyvmomi/

       This package can be installed using pip or easy_install:

          pip install pyvmomi
          easy_install pyvmomi

       NOTE:
          Version  6.0  of  pyVmomi  has some problems with SSL error handling on certain versions of Python. If
          using version 6.0 of pyVmomi, the machine that you are running the proxy minion process from must have
          either Python 2.7.9 or newer This is due to  an  upstream  dependency  in  pyVmomi  6.0  that  is  not
          supported  in  Python version 2.6 to 2.7.8. If the version of Python running the salt-cloud command is
          not in the supported range, you will need to install an earlier version of pyVmomi. See  Issue  #29537
          for more information.

       NOTE:
          pyVmomi  doesn't  expose  the  ability  to  specify  the locale when connecting to VMware. This causes
          parsing issues when connecting to an instance of VMware running under a non-English locale. Until this
          feature is added upstream Issue #38402 contains a workaround.

   Configuration
       The VMware cloud module needs the vCenter or ESX/ESXi URL, username and password to  be  set  up  in  the
       cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vmware.conf:

          my-vmware-config:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: '10.20.30.40'

          vcenter01:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'vcenter01.domain.com'
            protocol: 'https'
            port: 443

          vcenter02:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'vcenter02.domain.com'
            protocol: 'http'
            port: 80

          esx01:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'admin'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'esx01.domain.com'

       NOTE:
          Optionally,  protocol  and  port  can  be  specified  if the vCenter server is not using the defaults.
          Default is protocol: https and port: 443.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider configuration was renamed to driver.  This change was made to
          avoid confusion with the provider parameter  that  is  used  in  cloud  profile  configuration.  Cloud
          provider  configuration now uses driver to refer to the salt-cloud driver that provides the underlying
          functionality to connect to a cloud provider, while  cloud  profile  configuration  continues  to  use
          provider to refer to the cloud provider configuration that you define.

   Profiles

                     switch_type
                            Enter the type of switch to use. This decides  whether  to  use  a  standard  switch
                            network  or  a distributed virtual portgroup. Currently supported types are standard
                            for standard portgroups and distributed for distributed virtual portgroups.

                     ip     Enter the static IP you want the network adapter to be mapped  to.  If  the  network
                            specified is DHCP enabled, you do not have to specify this.

                     gateway
                            Enter  the  gateway  for  the  network  as  a list. If the network specified is DHCP

                            DHCP enabled, you do not have to specify this.

                     mac    Enter the MAC for this network adapter. If not specified an address will be selected
                            automatically.

              scsi   Enter  the  SCSI controller specification here. If the SCSI controller doesn't exist, a new
                     SCSI controller will be created of the specified  type.  If  the  SCSI  controller  already
                     exists,  it  will be reconfigured with the specifications. The following additional options
                     can be specified per SCSI controller:

                     type   Enter the SCSI controller type you want to create.  Currently  supported  types  are
                            lsilogic,  lsilogic_sas  and paravirtual. Type must be specified when creating a new
                            SCSI controller.

                                   Virtual disks can be shared between virtual machines on any server.

                            no     Virtual disks cannot be shared between virtual machines.

              ide    Enter the IDE controller specification here. If the IDE controller doesn't exist, a new IDE
                     controller  is  created. If the IDE controller already exists, no further changes to it are
                     made. The IDE controller specification is a dictionary.

                        ide:
                          IDE 2: {}

       domain Enter the global domain name to be used for DNS. If not specified and if the VM name  is  a  FQDN,

       resourcepool
              Enter  the  name  of  the  resourcepool  to which the new virtual machine should be attached. This
              determines what compute resources will be available to the clone.

              NOTE:

                 • For a clone operation from a virtual machine, it  will  use  the  same  resourcepool  as  the
                   original virtual machine unless specified.

                 • For a clone operation from a template to a virtual machine, specifying either this or cluster
                   is required. If both are specified, the resourcepool value will be used.

                 • For a clone operation to a template, this argument is ignored.

       cluster
              Enter the name of the cluster whose resource pool the new virtual machine should be attached to.

              NOTE:

                 • For  a clone operation from a virtual machine, it will use the same cluster's resourcepool as
                   the original virtual machine unless specified.

                 • For a clone operation from a template  to  a  virtual  machine,  specifying  either  this  or
                   resourcepool is required. If both are specified, the resourcepool value will be used.

                 • For a clone operation to a template, this argument is ignored.

       datastore
              Enter  the  name  of  the  datastore  or the datastore cluster where the virtual machine should be
              located on physical storage. If not specified, the current datastore is used.

              NOTE:

                 • If you specify a datastore cluster name, DRS Storage recommendation is automatically applied.

                 • If you specify a datastore name, DRS Storage recommendation is disabled.

       folder Enter the name of the folder that will contain the new virtual machine.

              NOTE:

                 • For a clone operation from a VM/template, the new VM/template  will  be  added  to  the  same
                   folder that the original VM/template belongs to unless specified.

                 • If both folder and datacenter are specified, the folder value will be used.

       datacenter
              Enter the name of the datacenter that will contain the new virtual machine.

              NOTE:

                 • For  a  clone  operation  from  a  VM/template, the new VM/template will be added to the same
                   folder that the original VM/template belongs to unless specified.

                 • If both folder and datacenter are specified, the folder value will be used.

       host   Enter the name of the target host where the virtual machine should be registered.

              If not specified:

              NOTE:

                 • If resource pool is not specified, current host is used.

                 • If resource pool is specified, and the target pool represents a stand-alone host, the host is
                   used.

                 • If resource pool is specified, and the target pool represents a DRS-enabled cluster,  a  host
                   selected by DRS is used.

                 • If  resource  pool is specified and the target pool represents a cluster without DRS enabled,
                   an InvalidArgument exception be thrown.

       template
              Specifies whether the new virtual machine should be marked as  a  template  or  not.   Default  is
              template: False.

       power_on
              Specifies  whether  the new virtual machine should be powered on or not. If template: True is set,
              this field is ignored. Default is power_on: True.

       extra_config
              Specifies the additional configuration information for the virtual machine. This describes  a  set
              of  modifications  to the additional options. If the key is already present, it will be reset with
              the new value provided. Otherwise, a new option is added. Keys with empty values will be removed.

       annotation
              User-provided description of the virtual machine.  This  will  store  a  message  in  the  vSphere
              interface, under the annotations section in the Summary view of the virtual machine.

       deploy Specifies  if  salt  should  be installed on the newly created VM. Default is True so salt will be
              installed using the bootstrap script. If template: True or power_on: False is set, this  field  is
              ignored and salt will not be installed.

       wait_for_ip_timeout
              When  deploy:  True,  this  timeout  determines  the  maximum  time to wait for VMware tools to be
              installed on the virtual machine. If this timeout is reached, an attempt to determine the client's
              IP will be made by resolving the VM's name.  By lowering this value a salt bootstrap can be  fully
              automated for systems that are not built with VMware tools.  Default is wait_for_ip_timeout: 1200.

       customization
              Specify  whether  the  new virtual machine should be customized or not. If customization: False is
              set, the new virtual machine will not be customized.  Default is customization: True.

       private_key
              Specify the path to the private key to use to be able to ssh to the VM.

       ssh_username
              Specify the username to use in order to ssh to the VM. Default is root

       password
              Specify a password to use in order to ssh to the VM. If private_key is specified, you do not  need
              to specify this.

       minion Specify  custom  minion configuration you want the salt minion to have. A good example would be to
              specify the master as the IP/DNS name of the master.

       file_map
              Specify file/files you want to copy to the VM before the bootstrap  script  is  run  and  salt  is
              installed.  A  good  example  of  using  this would be if you need to put custom repo files on the
              server in case your server will be in a private network and cannot reach external networks.

       hardware_version
              Specify the virtual hardware version for the vm/template that is supported by the host.

       image  Specify the guest id of the VM. For a full  list  of  supported  values  see  the  VMware  vSphere
              documentation:

              NOTE:
                 For a clone operation, this argument is ignored.

       win_username
              Specify windows vm administrator account.

              NOTE:
                 Windows template should have "administrator" account.

       win_password
              Specify windows vm administrator account password.

              NOTE:
                 During  network  configuration  (if network specified), it is used to specify new administrator
                 password for the machine.

       win_organization_name

              Specify windows vm user's organization. Default organization name is Organization

   Cloning a VM
       Cloning VMs/templates is the easiest and the preferred way to work with VMs using the VMware driver.

       NOTE:
          Cloning operations are unsupported on standalone ESXi hosts, a vCenter server will be required.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-minimal-clone:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'test-vm'

       When  cloning  a  VM,  all  the  profile configuration parameters are optional and the configuration gets
       inherited from the clone.

       Example to add/resize a disk:

          my-disk-example:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'test-vm'

            devices:
              disk:
                Hard disk 1:
                  size: 30

       Depending on the configuration of the VM that is getting cloned, the disk in  the  resulting  clone  will
       differ.

       NOTE:

          • If the VM has no disk named 'Hard disk 1' an empty disk with the specified size will be added to the
            clone.

          • If the VM has a disk named 'Hard disk 1' and the size specified is larger than the original disk, an
            empty disk with the specified size will be added to the clone.

          • If  the  VM has a disk named 'Hard disk 1' and the size specified is smaller than the original disk,
            an empty disk with the original size will be added to the clone.

       Example to reconfigure the memory and number of vCPUs:

          my-disk-example:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'test-vm'

            memory: 16GB
            num_cpus: 8

   Cloning a Template
       Cloning a template works similar to cloning a VM except for the fact that a resource pool or cluster must
       be specified additionally in the profile.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-template-clone:
           provider: vcenter01
           clonefrom: 'test-template'
           cluster: 'Prod'

   Cloning from a Snapshot
       New in version 2016.3.5.

       Cloning from a snapshot requires that one of the supported options be set in the cloud profile.

       Supported        options         are         createNewChildDiskBacking,         moveChildMostDiskBacking,
       moveAllDiskBackingsAndAllowSharing and moveAllDiskBackingsAndDisallowSharing.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-template-clone:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'salt_vm'
            snapshot:
              disk_move_type: createNewChildDiskBacking
              # these types are also supported
              # disk_move_type: moveChildMostDiskBacking
              # disk_move_type: moveAllDiskBackingsAndAllowSharing
              # disk_move_type: moveAllDiskBackingsAndDisallowSharing

   Creating a VM
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       Creating a VM from scratch means that more configuration has to be specified in the profile because there
       is no place to inherit configuration from.

       NOTE:
          Unlike  most  cloud  drivers that use prepared images, creating VMs using VMware cloud driver needs an
          installation method that requires no human interaction.  For Example: preseeded ISO, kickstart URL  or
          network PXE boot.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-minimal-profile:
            provider: esx01
            datastore: esx01-datastore
            resourcepool: Resources
            folder: vm

       NOTE:
          The  example above contains the minimum required configuration needed to create a VM from scratch. The
          resulting VM will only have 1 VCPU, 32MB of RAM and will not have any storage or networking.

       Example of a complete profile:

          my-complete-example:
            provider: esx01
            datastore: esx01-datastore
            resourcepool: Resources
            folder: vm

            num_cpus: 2
            memory: 8GB

            image: debian7_64Guest

            devices:
              scsi:
                SCSI controller 0:
                  type: lsilogic_sas
              ide:
                IDE 0: {}
                IDE 1: {}
              disk:
                Hard disk 0:
                  controller: 'SCSI controller 0'
                  size: 20
                  mode: 'independent_nonpersistent'
              cd:
                CD/DVD drive 0:
                  controller: 'IDE 0'
                  device_type: datastore_iso_file
                  iso_path: '[esx01-datastore] debian-8-with-preseed.iso'
              network:
                Network adapter 0:
                  name: 'VM Network'
                  swith_type: standard

       NOTE:
          Depending on VMware ESX/ESXi version, an exact match for image might not be available. In such  cases,
          the  closest  match  to  another  image should be used. In the example above, a Debian 8 VM is created
          using the image debian7_64Guest which is for a Debian 7 guest.

   Specifying disk backing mode
       New in version 2016.3.5.

       Disk backing mode can now be specified when cloning a VM. This option can be set in the cloud profile  as
       shown in example below:

          my-vm:
            provider: esx01
            datastore: esx01-datastore
            resourcepool: Resources
            folder: vm

            devices:
              disk:
                Hard disk 1:
                  mode: 'independent_nonpersistent'
                  size: 42
                Hard disk 2:
                  mode: 'independent_nonpersistent'

   Getting Started With Xen
       The Xen cloud driver works with Citrix XenServer.

       It can be used with a single XenServer or a XenServer resource pool.

   Setup Dependencies
       This driver requires a copy of the freely available XenAPI.py Python module.

       Information   about   the   Xen   API   Python   module   in   the   XenServer   SDK   can  be  found  at
       https://pypi.org/project/XenAPI/

       Place a copy of this module on your system. For example, it can be placed in the site  packages  location
       on your system.

       The location of site packages can be determined by running:

          python -m site --user-site

   Provider Configuration
       Xen requires login credentials to a XenServer.

       Set     up     the    provider    cloud    configuration    file    at    /etc/salt/cloud.providers    or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/myxen.conf
          myxen:
            driver: xen
            url: https://10.0.0.120
            user: root
            password: p@ssw0rd

       url:   The url option supports both http and https uri prefixes.

       user:  A valid user id to login to the XenServer host.

       password:
              The associated password for the user.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change  was  made  to
          avoid  confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider
          definitions now  use  driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud  module  that  provides  the  underlying
          functionality  to  connect  to a cloud host, while cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to
          provider configurations that you define.

   Profile Configuration
       Xen profiles require a provider and  image.

       provider:
              This will be the name of your defined provider.

       image: The name of the VM template used to clone or copy.

       clone: The default behavior is to clone a template or VM. This is very  fast,  but  requires  the  source
              template  or  VM  to be in the same storage repository of the new target system. If the source and
              target are in different storage repositories then you must copy the source and  not  clone  it  by
              setting clone: False.

       deploy:
              The  provisioning process will attempt to install the Salt minion service on the new target system
              by default. This will require login credentials for Salt cloud to login via ssh to it.   The  user
              and password options are required.  If deploy is set to False then these options are not needed.

       resource_pool:
              The name of the resource pool used for this profile.

       storage_repo:
              The name of the storage repository for the target system.

       ipv4_cidr:
              If template is Windows, and running guest tools then a static ip address can be set.

       ipv4_gw:
              If template is Windows, and running guest tools then a gateway can be set.

       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or in the /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          # file: /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/xenprofiles.conf
          sles:
            provider: myxen
            deploy: False
            image: sles12sp2-template

          suse:
            user: root
            password: p@ssw0rd
            provider: myxen
            image: opensuseleap42_2-template
            storage_repo: 'Local storage'
            clone: False
            minion:
              master: 10.0.0.20

          w2k12:
            provider: myxen
            image: w2k12svr-template
            clone: True
            userdata_file: /srv/salt/win/files/windows-firewall.ps1
            win_installer: /srv/salt/win/files/Salt-Minion-2016.11.3-AMD64-Setup.exe
            win_username: Administrator
            win_password: p@ssw0rd
            use_winrm: False
            ipv4_cidr: 10.0.0.215/24
            ipv4_gw: 10.0.0.1
            minion:
              master: 10.0.0.21

       The  first  example  will create a clone of the sles12sp2-template in the same storage repository without
       deploying the Salt minion.

       The second example will make a copy of the image and deploy a new suse VM with the Salt minion installed.

       The third example will create a clone of the Windows 2012 template and deploy the Salt minion.

       The profile can be used with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p suse  xenvm02

       This will create an salt minion instance named xenvm02 in  Xen.  If  the  command  was  executed  on  the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the instance has been created with a salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be verified with
       Salt:

          salt xenvm02 test.version

   Listing Sizes
       Sizes can be obtained using the --list-sizes option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-sizes myxen

       NOTE:
          Since size information is build in a template this command is not implemented.

   Listing Images
       Images can be obtained using the --list-images option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-images myxen

       This command will return a list of templates with details.

   Listing Locations
       Locations can be obtained using the --list-locations option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-locations myxen

       Returns a list of resource pools.

   Miscellaneous Options
   Miscellaneous Salt Cloud Options
       This page describes various miscellaneous options available in Salt Cloud

   Deploy Script Arguments
       Custom deploy scripts are unlikely to need custom arguments to be passed to them, but salt-bootstrap  has
       been  extended quite a bit, and this may be necessary. script_args can be specified in either the profile
       or the map file, to pass arguments to the deploy script:

          ec2-amazon:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-1624987f
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: ec2-user
            script: bootstrap-salt
            script_args: -c /tmp/

       This has also been tested to work with pipes, if needed:

          script_args: '| head'

   Selecting the File Transport
       By default, Salt Cloud uses SFTP to transfer files to Linux hosts. However, if SFTP is not available,  or
       specific SCP functionality is needed, Salt Cloud can be configured to use SCP instead.

          file_transport: sftp
          file_transport: scp

   Sync After Install
       Salt  allows  users  to create custom modules, grains, and states which can be synchronised to minions to
       extend Salt with further functionality.

       This option will inform Salt Cloud to synchronise your custom modules, grains, states or all these to the
       minion just after it has been created. For this to happen, the following line needs to be  added  to  the
       main cloud configuration file:

          sync_after_install: all

       The available options for this setting are:

          modules
          grains
          states
          all

   Setting Up New Salt Masters
       It  has become increasingly common for users to set up multi-hierarchal infrastructures using Salt Cloud.
       This sometimes involves setting up an instance to be a master in addition to a minion. With that in mind,
       you can now lay down master configuration on a machine by specifying master options in the profile or map
       file.

          make_master: True

       This will cause Salt Cloud to generate master keys for the instance, and tell salt-bootstrap  to  install
       the salt-master package, in addition to the salt-minion package.

       The  default  master  configuration is usually appropriate for most users, and will not be changed unless
       specific master configuration has been added to the profile or map:

          master:
            user: root
            interface: 0.0.0.0

   Setting Up a Salt Syndic with Salt Cloud
       In addition to setting up new Salt Masters, syndics can also be provisioned using Salt Cloud. In order to
       set up a Salt Syndic via Salt Cloud, a Salt Master needs to be installed on the new machine and a  master
       configuration  file  needs to be set up using the make_master setting. This setting can be defined either
       in a profile config file or in a map file:

          make_master: True

       To install the Salt Syndic, the only other specification that needs to be configured is the syndic_master
       key to specify the location of the master that the syndic will be reporting to. This  modification  needs
       to  be  placed  in  the  master  setting,  which  can  be  configured either in the profile, provider, or
       /etc/salt/cloud config file:

          master:
            syndic_master: 123.456.789  # may be either an IP address or a hostname

       Many other Salt Syndic configuration settings and specifications can be passed through to the new  syndic
       machine via the master configuration setting.  See the syndic documentation for more information.

   SSH Port
       By  default  ssh  port  is  set to port 22. If you want to use a custom port in provider, profile, or map
       blocks use ssh_port option.

       New in version 2015.5.0.

          ssh_port: 2222

   Delete SSH Keys
       When Salt Cloud deploys an instance, the SSH pub key for the instance is added to  the  known_hosts  file
       for  the  user  that  ran  the  salt-cloud  command. When an instance is deployed, a cloud host generally
       recycles the IP address for the instance.  When Salt  Cloud  attempts  to  deploy  an  instance  using  a
       recycled  IP  address  that  has  previously  been  accessed  from  the  same machine, the old key in the
       known_hosts file will cause a conflict.

       In order to mitigate this issue, Salt Cloud can be configured to remove old  keys  from  the  known_hosts
       file  when  destroying  the  node.  In order to do this, the following line needs to be added to the main
       cloud configuration file:

          delete_sshkeys: True

   Keeping /tmp/ Files
       When Salt Cloud deploys an instance, it uploads temporary files to /tmp/ for  salt-bootstrap  to  put  in
       place.  After  the  script  has  run,  they are deleted. To keep these files around (mostly for debugging
       purposes), the --keep-tmp option can be added:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile mymachine --keep-tmp

       For those wondering why /tmp/ was used instead of /root/, this had to be done for  images  which  require
       the  use  of  sudo,  and  therefore do not allow remote root logins, even for file transfers (which makes
       /root/ unavailable).

   Hide Output From Minion Install
       By default Salt Cloud will stream the output from the minion deploy script directly to  STDOUT.  Although
       this  can been very useful, in certain cases you may wish to switch this off. The following config option
       is there to enable or disable this output:

          display_ssh_output: False

   Connection Timeout
       There are several stages when deploying Salt where Salt Cloud needs to wait for something to happen.  The
       VM getting its IP address, the VM's SSH port is available, etc.

       If  you find that the Salt Cloud defaults are not enough and your deployment fails because Salt Cloud did
       not wait log enough, there are some settings you can tweak.

          Note

                 All settings should be provided in lowercase All values should be provided in seconds

       You can tweak these settings globally, per cloud provider, or event per profile definition.

   wait_for_ip_timeout
       The amount of time Salt Cloud should wait for a VM to start and get an  IP  back  from  the  cloud  host.
       Default: varies by cloud provider ( between 5 and 25 minutes)

   wait_for_ip_interval
       The  amount  of  time  Salt  Cloud should sleep while querying for the VM's IP.  Default: varies by cloud
       provider ( between .5 and 10 seconds)

   ssh_connect_timeout
       The amount of time Salt Cloud should wait for a successful SSH connection to the VM.  Default: varies  by
       cloud provider  (between 5 and 15 minutes)

   wait_for_passwd_timeout
       The  amount  of time until an ssh connection can be established via password or ssh key.  Default: varies
       by cloud provider (mostly 15 seconds)

   wait_for_passwd_maxtries
       The number of attempts to connect to the VM until we abandon.  Default: 15 attempts

   wait_for_fun_timeout
       Some cloud drivers check for an available IP or a successful SSH connection  using  a  function,  namely,
       SoftLayer,  and  SoftLayer-HW.  So,  the  amount  of  time  Salt Cloud should retry such functions before
       failing.  Default: 15 minutes.

   wait_for_spot_timeout
       The amount of time Salt Cloud should wait before an EC2 Spot instance is available. This setting is  only
       available for the EC2 cloud driver.  Default: 10  minutes

   Salt Cloud Cache
       Salt  Cloud can maintain a cache of node data, for supported providers. The following options manage this
       functionality.

   update_cachedir
       On supported cloud providers, whether or not to maintain a cache of nodes returned from  a  --full-query.
       The         data         will        be        stored        in        msgpack        format        under
       <SALT_CACHEDIR>/cloud/active/<DRIVER>/<PROVIDER>/<NODE_NAME>.p. This setting can be True or False.

   diff_cache_events
       When the cloud cachedir is being managed, if  differences  are  encountered  between  the  data  that  is
       returned live from the cloud host and the data in the cache, fire events which describe the changes. This
       setting can be True or False.

       Some  of  these  events  will contain data which describe a node. Because some of the fields returned may
       contain sensitive data, the cache_event_strip_fields configuration option exists to  strip  those  fields
       from the event return.

          cache_event_strip_fields:
            - password
            - priv_key

       The following are events that can be fired based on this data.

   salt/cloud/minionid/cache_node_new
       A  new node was found on the cloud host which was not listed in the cloud cachedir. A dict describing the
       new node will be contained in the event.

   salt/cloud/minionid/cache_node_missing
       A node that was previously listed in the cloud cachedir is no longer available on the cloud host.

   salt/cloud/minionid/cache_node_diff
       One or more pieces of data in the cloud cachedir has changed on the cloud host. A  dict  containing  both
       the old and the new data will be contained in the event.

   SSH Known Hosts
       Normally  when  bootstrapping  a VM, salt-cloud will ignore the SSH host key. This is because it does not
       know what the host key is before starting (because it doesn't exist yet). If strict host key checking  is
       turned  on  without the key in the known_hosts file, then the host will never be available, and cannot be
       bootstrapped.

       If a provider is able to determine the host key before trying to bootstrap it, that provider's driver can
       add it to the known_hosts file, and then turn on strict host key checking. This can be set up in the main
       cloud configuration file (normally /etc/salt/cloud) or in the provider-specific configuration file:

          known_hosts_file: /path/to/.ssh/known_hosts

       If this is not set, it will default to /dev/null, and strict host key checking will be turned off.

       It is highly recommended that this option is not set, unless the user  has  verified  that  the  provider
       supports  this  functionality,  and  that  the  image  being  used  is capable of providing the necessary
       information. At this time, only the EC2 driver supports this functionality.

   SSH Agent
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       If the ssh key is not stored on the server salt-cloud is being run on, set ssh_agent, and salt-cloud will
       use the forwarded ssh-agent to authenticate.

          ssh_agent: True

   File Map Upload
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The file_map option allows an arbitrary group of files to be uploaded to the target system before running
       the deploy script. This functionality requires a provider  uses  salt.utils.cloud.bootstrap(),  which  is
       currently limited to the ec2, gce, openstack and nova drivers.

       The file_map can be configured globally in /etc/salt/cloud, or in any cloud provider or profile file. For
       example,  to upload an extra package or a custom deploy script, a cloud profile using file_map might look
       like:

          ubuntu14:
            provider: ec2-config
            image: ami-98aa1cf0
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: root
            securitygroup: default
            file_map:
              /local/path/to/custom/script: /remote/path/to/use/custom/script
              /local/path/to/package: /remote/path/to/store/package

   Running Pre-Flight Commands
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       To execute specified preflight shell commands  on  a  VM  before  the  deploy  script  is  run,  use  the
       preflight_cmds option. These must be defined as a list in a cloud configuration file. For example:

          my-cloud-profile:
            provider: linode-config
            image: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
            size: Linode 2048
            preflight_cmds:
              - whoami
              - echo 'hello world!'

       These commands will run in sequence before the bootstrap script is executed.

   Force Minion Config
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       The   force_minion_config  option  requests  the  bootstrap  process  to  overwrite  an  existing  minion
       configuration file and public/private key files.  Default: False

       This might be important for drivers (such as saltify) which are expected to take over a connection from a
       former salt master.

          my_saltify_provider:
            driver: saltify
            force_minion_config: true

   Troubleshooting Steps
   Troubleshooting Salt Cloud
       This page describes various steps for troubleshooting problems that may arise while using Salt Cloud.

   Virtual Machines Are Created, But Do Not Respond
       Are TCP ports 4505 and 4506 open on the master? This is easy to overlook on new masters.  Information  on
       how to open firewall ports on various platforms can be found here.

   Generic Troubleshooting Steps
       This  section  describes  a  set of instructions that are useful to a large number of situations, and are
       likely to solve most issues that arise.

   Debug Mode
       Frequently, running Salt Cloud in debug mode will reveal  information  about  a  deployment  which  would
       otherwise not be obvious:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile myinstance -l debug

       Keep  in  mind  that  a  number  of  messages will appear that look at first like errors, but are in fact
       intended to give developers factual information to assist in debugging. A number of messages that  appear
       will  be  for  cloud  providers  that  you do not have configured; in these cases, the message usually is
       intended to confirm that they are not configured.

   Salt Bootstrap
       By default, Salt Cloud uses the Salt Bootstrap script to provision instances:

       This script is packaged with Salt Cloud, but may be updated without updating the Salt package:

          salt-cloud -u

   The Bootstrap Log
       If the default  deploy  script  was  used,  there  should  be  a  file  in  the  /tmp/  directory  called
       bootstrap-salt.log. This file contains the full output from the deployment, including any errors that may
       have occurred.

   Keeping Temp Files
       Salt  Cloud uploads minion-specific files to instances once they are available via SSH, and then executes
       a deploy script to put them into the correct place and install Salt. The --keep-tmp option will  instruct
       Salt  Cloud  not  to  remove  those  files when finished with them, so that the user may inspect them for
       problems:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile myinstance --keep-tmp

       By default, Salt Cloud will create a directory on  the  target  instance  called  /tmp/.saltcloud/.  This
       directory  should  be owned by the user that is to execute the deploy script, and should have permissions
       of 0700.

       Most cloud hosts are configured to use root as the default initial user for deployment, and as such, this
       directory and all files in it should be owned by the root user.

       The /tmp/.saltcloud/ directory should the following files:

       • A deploy.sh script. This script should have permissions of 0755.

       • A .pem and .pub key named after the minion. The .pem file should have permissions of 0600. Ensure  that
         the .pem and .pub files have been properly copied to the /etc/salt/pki/minion/ directory.

       • A file called minion. This file should have been copied to the /etc/salt/ directory.

       • Optionally,  a  file  called  grains.  This file, if present, should have been copied to the /etc/salt/
         directory.

   Unprivileged Primary Users
       Some cloud hosts, most notably EC2, are configured with a different primary user.  Some  common  examples
       are  ec2-user, ubuntu, fedora, and bitnami.  In these cases, the /tmp/.saltcloud/ directory and all files
       in it should be owned by this user.

       Some cloud hosts, such as EC2, are configured to not require these users to provide a password when using
       the sudo command. Because it is more secure to require sudo users to provide a password, other hosts  are
       configured that way.

       If  this  instance is required to provide a password, it needs to be configured in Salt Cloud. A password
       for sudo to use may be added to either the provider configuration or the profile configuration:

          sudo_password: mypassword

   /tmp/ is Mounted as noexec
       It is more secure to mount the /tmp/ directory with a noexec option.  This  is  uncommon  on  most  cloud
       hosts,  but  very  common in private environments. To see if the /tmp/ directory is mounted this way, run
       the following command:

          mount | grep tmp

       The if the output of this command includes a line that looks like  this,  then  the  /tmp/  directory  is
       mounted as noexec:

          tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,noexec)

       If  this  is  the case, then the deploy_command will need to be changed in order to run the deploy script
       through the sh command, rather than trying to execute it directly. This may be specified  in  either  the
       provider or the profile config:

          deploy_command: sh /tmp/.saltcloud/deploy.sh

       Please note that by default, Salt Cloud will place its files in a directory called /tmp/.saltcloud/. This
       may be also be changed in the provider or profile configuration:

          tmp_dir: /tmp/.saltcloud/

       If  this directory is changed, then the deploy_command need to be changed in order to reflect the tmp_dir
       configuration.

   Executing the Deploy Script Manually
       If all of the files needed for deployment were  successfully  uploaded  to  the  correct  locations,  and
       contain  the  correct  permissions and ownerships, the deploy script may be executed manually in order to
       check for other issues:

          cd /tmp/.saltcloud/
          ./deploy.sh

   Extending Salt Cloud
   Writing Cloud Driver Modules
       Salt Cloud runs on a module system similar to the main Salt project. The modules inside  saltcloud  exist
       in the salt/cloud/clouds directory of the salt source.

       There  are  two  basic types of cloud modules. If a cloud host is supported by libcloud, then using it is
       the fastest route to getting a module written. The Apache Libcloud project is located at:

       http://libcloud.apache.org/

       Not every cloud host is supported by libcloud. Additionally, not every feature in a supported cloud  host
       is  necessarily  supported  by libcloud. In either of these cases, a module can be created which does not
       rely on libcloud.

   All Driver Modules
       The following functions are required by all driver modules, whether or not they are based on libcloud.

   The __virtual__() Function
       This function determines whether or not to make this cloud module available upon execution.  Most  often,
       it  uses  get_configured_provider()  to  determine if the necessary configuration has been set up. It may
       also check for necessary imports, to decide whether to load the module. In most cases, it will  return  a
       True or False value. If the name of the driver used does not match the filename, then that name should be
       returned instead of True. An example of this may be seen in the Azure module:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/cloud/clouds/msazure.py

   The get_configured_provider() Function
       This function uses config.is_provider_configured() to determine whether all required information for this
       driver  has  been  configured.  The  last  value in the list of required settings should be followed by a
       comma.

   Libcloud Based Modules
       Writing a cloud module based on libcloud has two major advantages. First of all, much  of  the  work  has
       already  been  done by the libcloud project. Second, most of the functions necessary to Salt have already
       been added to the Salt Cloud project.

   The create() Function
       The most important function that does need to be manually written is the create() function. This is  what
       is  used  to  request a virtual machine to be created by the cloud host, wait for it to become available,
       and then (optionally) log in and install Salt on it.

       A good example to follow for writing a cloud driver module based on libcloud is the module  provided  for
       Linode:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/cloud/clouds/linode.py

       The basic flow of a create() function is as follows:

       • Send a request to the cloud host to create a virtual machine.

       • Wait for the virtual machine to become available.

       • Generate kwargs to be used to deploy Salt.

       • Log into the virtual machine and deploy Salt.

       • Return a data structure that describes the newly-created virtual machine.

       At  various  points  throughout  this  function, events may be fired on the Salt event bus. Four of these
       events, which are described  below,  are  required.  Other  events  may  be  added  by  the  user,  where
       appropriate.

       When  the  create()  function  is  called, it is passed a data structure called vm_. This dict contains a
       composite of information describing the virtual machine to be created. A dict  called  __opts__  is  also
       provided  by  Salt,  which contains the options used to run Salt Cloud, as well as a set of configuration
       and environment variables.

       The first thing the create() function must do is fire an event stating that it  has  started  the  create
       process.  This  event  is tagged salt/cloud/<vm name>/creating. The payload contains the names of the VM,
       profile, and provider.

       A set of kwargs is then usually created, to describe the parameters required by the cloud host to request
       the virtual machine.

       An event is then fired to state that a virtual machine is  about  to  be  requested.   It  is  tagged  as
       salt/cloud/<vm  name>/requesting. The payload contains most or all of the parameters that will be sent to
       the cloud host. Any private information (such as passwords) should not be sent in the event.

       After a request is made, a set of deploy kwargs will be generated. These will be used to install Salt  on
       the  target  machine.  Windows  options are supported at this point, and should be generated, even if the
       cloud host does not currently support Windows. This will save  time  in  the  future  if  the  host  does
       eventually decide to support Windows.

       An  event  is  then  fired  to  state  that  the  deploy  process is about to begin. This event is tagged
       salt/cloud/<vm name>/deploying. The payload for the event will contain a set of deploy kwargs, useful for
       debugging purposed. Any private data, including passwords and keys  (including  public  keys)  should  be
       stripped from the deploy kwargs before the event is fired.

       If  any  Windows  options  have  been  passed  in, the salt.utils.cloud.deploy_windows() function will be
       called.  Otherwise,  it  will  be  assumed  that  the  target  is  a  Linux  or  Unix  machine,  and  the
       salt.utils.cloud.deploy_script() will be called.

       Both  of these functions will wait for the target machine to become available, then the necessary port to
       log in, then a successful login that can be used to install Salt. Minion configuration and keys will then
       be uploaded to a temporary directory on the target by the appropriate function. On a Windows target,  the
       Windows  Minion  Installer  will  be  run  in  silent  mode.  On  a  Linux/Unix  target,  a deploy script
       (bootstrap-salt.sh, by default) will be run, which will auto-detect the  operating  system,  and  install
       Salt  using  its  native  package  manager. These do not need to be handled by the developer in the cloud
       module.

       The salt.utils.cloud.validate_windows_cred() function has been extended to take the number of retries and
       retry_delay parameters in case  a  specific  cloud  host  has  a  delay  between  providing  the  Windows
       credentials  and  the  credentials  being  available  for  use.   In  their  create()  function,  or as a
       sub-function called during the creation process, developers should use  the  win_deploy_auth_retries  and
       win_deploy_auth_retry_delay  parameters from the provider configuration to allow the end-user the ability
       to customize the number of tries and delay between tries for their particular host.

       After the appropriate deploy function completes, a final event  is  fired  which  describes  the  virtual
       machine  that  has  just  been  created.  This  event is tagged salt/cloud/<vm name>/created. The payload
       contains the names of the VM, profile, and provider.

       Finally, a dict (queried from the provider) which describes the new virtual machine is  returned  to  the
       user.  Because this data is not fired on the event bus it can, and should, return any passwords that were
       returned by the cloud host. In some cases (for example, Rackspace),  this  is  the  only  time  that  the
       password  can  be  queried  by  the  user;  post-creation  queries  may  not contain password information
       (depending upon the host).

   The libcloudfuncs Functions
       A number of other functions are required for all cloud hosts. However, with libcloud-based modules, these
       are all provided for free by the libcloudfuncs library. The following two lines set up the imports:

          from salt.cloud.libcloudfuncs import *  # pylint: disable=W0614,W0401
          import salt.utils.functools

       And then a series of declarations will make the necessary functions available within the cloud module.

          get_size = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(get_size, globals())
          get_image = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(get_image, globals())
          avail_locations = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(avail_locations, globals())
          avail_images = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(avail_images, globals())
          avail_sizes = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(avail_sizes, globals())
          script = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(script, globals())
          destroy = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(destroy, globals())
          list_nodes = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(list_nodes, globals())
          list_nodes_full = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(list_nodes_full, globals())
          list_nodes_select = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(
              list_nodes_select, globals()
          )
          show_instance = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(show_instance, globals())

       If necessary, these functions may be replaced by removing the  appropriate  declaration  line,  and  then
       adding the function as normal.

       These functions are required for all cloud modules, and are described in detail in the next section.

   Non-Libcloud Based Modules
       In  some  cases,  using  libcloud is not an option. This may be because libcloud has not yet included the
       necessary driver itself, or it may be that the driver that is included with libcloud does not contain all
       of the necessary features required by the developer. When this is the case, some or all of the  functions
       in  libcloudfuncs  may  be replaced. If they are all replaced, the libcloud imports should be absent from
       the Salt Cloud module.

       A good example of a non-libcloud driver is the DigitalOcean driver:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/cloud/clouds/digitalocean.py

   The create() Function
       The create() function must be created as described in the libcloud-based module documentation.

   The get_size() Function
       This function is only necessary for libcloud-based modules, and does not need to exist otherwise.

   The get_image() Function
       This function is only necessary for libcloud-based modules, and does not need to exist otherwise.

   The avail_locations() Function
       This function returns a list of locations available, if the cloud host uses multiple data centers. It  is
       not  necessary  if  the  cloud  host  uses  only  one  data  center.  It  is  normally  called  using the
       --list-locations option.

          salt-cloud --list-locations my-cloud-provider

   The avail_images() Function
       This function returns a list of images available for this cloud provider. There  are  not  currently  any
       known  cloud  providers  that  do  not  provide  this functionality, though they may refer to images by a
       different name (for example, "templates"). It is normally called using the --list-images option.

          salt-cloud --list-images my-cloud-provider

   The avail_sizes() Function
       This function returns a list of sizes available for this cloud provider.  Generally,  this  refers  to  a
       combination  of  RAM,  CPU,  and/or  disk  space.  This  functionality  may  not be present on some cloud
       providers. For example, the Parallels module breaks down RAM, CPU, and disk space into separate  options,
       whereas  in  other  providers,  these  options  are baked into the image. It is normally called using the
       --list-sizes option.

          salt-cloud --list-sizes my-cloud-provider

   The script() Function
       This function builds the deploy script to be used on the remote machine.  It is likely to be  moved  into
       the  salt.utils.cloud  library  in  the  near  future,  as  it  is very generic and can usually be copied
       wholesale from another module. An excellent example is in the Azure driver.

   The destroy() Function
       This function irreversibly destroys a virtual machine on the cloud provider.  Before doing so, it  should
       fire  an event on the Salt event bus. The tag for this event is salt/cloud/<vm name>/destroying. Once the
       virtual machine has been destroyed, another event is fired. The tag  for  that  event  is  salt/cloud/<vm
       name>/destroyed.

       This function is normally called with the -d options:

          salt-cloud -d myinstance

   The list_nodes() Function
       This function returns a list of nodes available on this cloud provider, using the following fields:

       • id (str)

       • image (str)

       • size (str)

       • state (str)

       • private_ips (list)

       • public_ips (list)

       No  other fields should be returned in this function, and all of these fields should be returned, even if
       empty. The private_ips and public_ips fields should always be of a list type,  even  if  empty,  and  the
       other fields should always be of a str type. This function is normally called with the -Q option:

          salt-cloud -Q

   The list_nodes_full() Function
       All  information  available  about  all  nodes  should  be  returned in this function.  The fields in the
       list_nodes() function should also be returned, even if they would not normally be provided by  the  cloud
       provider.  This  is because some functions both within Salt and 3rd party will break if an expected field
       is not present. This function is normally called with the -F option:

          salt-cloud -F

   The list_nodes_select() Function
       This function returns only the fields specified in the query.selection option in /etc/salt/cloud. Because
       this function is so generic, all of the heavy lifting has been moved into the salt.utils.cloud library.

       A function to call list_nodes_select() still needs to be present. In general, the following code  can  be
       used as-is:

          def list_nodes_select(call=None):
              """
              Return a list of the VMs that are on the provider, with select fields
              """
              return salt.utils.cloud.list_nodes_select(
                  list_nodes_full("function"), __opts__["query.selection"], call
              )

       However,  depending  on  the  cloud  provider,  additional variables may be required.  For instance, some
       modules use a conn object, or may need to pass other options into list_nodes_full().  In  this  case,  be
       sure to update the function appropriately:

          def list_nodes_select(conn=None, call=None):
              """
              Return a list of the VMs that are on the provider, with select fields
              """
              if not conn:
                  conn = get_conn()  # pylint: disable=E0602

              return salt.utils.cloud.list_nodes_select(
                  list_nodes_full(conn, "function"), __opts__["query.selection"], call
              )

       This function is normally called with the -S option:

          salt-cloud -S

   The show_instance() Function
       This  function  is  used to display all of the information about a single node that is available from the
       cloud provider. The simplest way to provide this is usually to call list_nodes_full(),  and  return  just
       the data for the requested node. It is normally called as an action:

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Actions and Functions
       Extra  functionality may be added to a cloud provider in the form of an --action or a --function. Actions
       are performed against a cloud instance/virtual machine, and  functions  are  performed  against  a  cloud
       provider.

   Actions
       Actions  are  calls  that are performed against a specific instance or virtual machine. The show_instance
       action should be available in all cloud modules.  Actions are normally called with the -a option:

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

       Actions must accept a name as  a  first  argument,  may  optionally  support  any  number  of  kwargs  as
       appropriate, and must accept an argument of call, with a default of None.

       Before  performing any other work, an action should normally verify that it has been called correctly. It
       may then perform the desired feature, and return useful information to the user.  A  basic  action  looks
       like:

          def show_instance(name, call=None):
              """
              Show the details from EC2 concerning an AMI
              """
              if call != "action":
                  raise SaltCloudSystemExit(
                      "The show_instance action must be called with -a or --action."
                  )

              return _get_node(name)

       Please  note  that  generic kwargs, if used, are passed through to actions as kwargs and not **kwargs. An
       example of this is seen in the Functions section.

   Functions
       Functions are called that are performed against a specific cloud provider. An optional function  that  is
       often useful is show_image, which describes an image in detail. Functions are normally called with the -f
       option:

          salt-cloud -f show_image my-cloud-provider image='Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit'

       A  function  may  accept  any number of kwargs as appropriate, and must accept an argument of call with a
       default of None.

       Before performing any other work, a function should normally verify that it has been called correctly. It
       may then perform the desired feature, and return useful information to the user. A basic  function  looks
       like:

          def show_image(kwargs, call=None):
              """
              Show the details from EC2 concerning an AMI
              """
              if call != "function":
                  raise SaltCloudSystemExit(
                      "The show_image action must be called with -f or --function."
                  )

              params = {"ImageId.1": kwargs["image"], "Action": "DescribeImages"}
              result = query(params)
              log.info(result)

              return result

       Take note that generic kwargs are passed through to functions as kwargs and not **kwargs.

   Cloud deployment scripts
       Salt  Cloud  works  primarily  by  executing  a  script  on  the  virtual machines as soon as they become
       available. The script that is executed is referenced in  the  cloud  profile  as  the  script.  In  older
       versions, this was the os argument. This was changed in 0.8.2.

       A  number  of  legacy  scripts  exist in the deploy directory in the saltcloud source tree. The preferred
       method is currently to use the salt-bootstrap script. A stable version  is  included  with  each  release
       tarball starting with 0.8.4. The most updated version can be found at:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap

       Note   that,   somewhat   counter-intuitively,  this  script  is  referenced  as  bootstrap-salt  in  the
       configuration.

       You can specify a deploy script in the cloud configuration file (/etc/salt/cloud by default):

          script: bootstrap-salt

       Or in a provider:

          my-provider:
            # snip...
            script: bootstrap-salt

       Or in a profile:

          my-profile:
            provider: my-provider
            # snip...
            script: bootstrap-salt

       If you do not specify a script argument in your  cloud  configuration  file,  provider  configuration  or
       profile configuration, the "bootstrap-salt" script will be used by default.

   Other Generic Deploy Scripts
       If  you  want  to  be  assured  of always using the latest Salt Bootstrap script, there are a few generic
       templates available in the deploy directory of your saltcloud source tree:

          curl-bootstrap
          curl-bootstrap-git
          python-bootstrap
          wget-bootstrap
          wget-bootstrap-git

       These are example scripts which were designed to be customized, adapted, and refit to  meet  your  needs.
       One  important  use of them is to pass options to the salt-bootstrap script, such as updating to specific
       git tags.

   Custom Deploy Scripts
       If the Salt Bootstrap script does not meet your needs, you may write your  own.   The  script  should  be
       written  in  shell  and is a Jinja template. Deploy scripts need to execute a number of functions to do a
       complete salt setup. These functions include:

       1. Install the salt minion. If this can be done via system packages this method is HIGHLY preferred.

       2. Add the salt minion keys before the minion is started  for  the  first  time.   The  minion  keys  are
          available as strings that can be copied into place in the Jinja template under the dict named "vm".

       3. Start the salt-minion daemon and enable it at startup time.

       4. Set up the minion configuration file from the "minion" data available in the Jinja template.

       A good, well commented example of this process is the Fedora deployment script:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/cloud/deploy/Fedora.sh

       A  number  of legacy deploy scripts are included with the release tarball. None of them are as functional
       or complete as Salt Bootstrap, and are still included for academic purposes.

       Custom deploy scripts are picked up from /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d by default,  but  you  can  change  the
       location of deploy scripts with the cloud configuration deploy_scripts_search_path. Additionally, if your
       deploy script has the extension .sh, you can leave out the extension in your configuration.

       For  example, if your custom deploy script is located in /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d/my_deploy.sh, you could
       specify it in a cloud profile like this:

          my-profile:
            provider: my-provider
            # snip...
            script: my_deploy

       You're also free to use the full path to the script if you like. Using full paths,  your  script  doesn't
       have    to    live    inside    /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d    or    whatever    you've    configured   with
       deploy_scripts_search_path.

   Post-Deploy Commands
       Once a minion has been deployed, it has the option to run a salt command.  Normally, this  would  be  the
       state.apply,  which  would  finish  provisioning  the  VM.  Another common option (for testing) is to use
       test.version. This is configured in the main cloud config file:

          start_action: state.apply

       This is currently considered to be experimental functionality, and may  not  work  well  with  all  cloud
       hosts.  If you experience problems with Salt Cloud hanging after Salt is deployed, consider using Startup
       States instead:

       https://docs.saltproject.io/ref/states/startup.html

   Skipping the Deploy Script
       For whatever reason, you may want to skip the deploy script altogether. This results in a VM  being  spun
       up much faster, with absolutely no configuration.  This can be set from the command line:

          salt-cloud --no-deploy -p micro_aws my_instance

       Or it can be set from the main cloud config file:

          deploy: False

       Or it can be set from the provider's configuration:

          RACKSPACE.user: example_user
          RACKSPACE.apikey: 123984bjjas87034
          RACKSPACE.deploy: False

       Or even on the VM's profile settings:

          ubuntu_aws:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-7e2da54e
            size: t1.micro
            deploy: False

       The default for deploy is True.

       In the profile, you may also set the script option to None:

          script: None

       This is the slowest option, since it still uploads the None deploy script and executes it.

   Updating Salt Bootstrap
       Salt Bootstrap can be updated automatically with salt-cloud:

          salt-cloud -u
          salt-cloud --update-bootstrap

       Bear in mind that this updates to the latest stable version from:

       https://bootstrap.saltstack.com/stable/bootstrap-salt.sh

       To update Salt Bootstrap script to the develop version, run the following command on the Salt minion host
       with salt-cloud installed:

          salt-call config.gather_bootstrap_script 'https://bootstrap.saltstack.com/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh'

       Or just download the file manually:

          curl -L 'https://bootstrap.saltstack.com/develop' > /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d/bootstrap-salt.sh

   Keeping /tmp/ Files
       When  Salt  Cloud  deploys  an instance, it uploads temporary files to /tmp/ for salt-bootstrap to put in
       place. After the script has run, they are deleted. To keep  these  files  around  (mostly  for  debugging
       purposes), the --keep-tmp option can be added:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile mymachine --keep-tmp

       For  those  wondering  why /tmp/ was used instead of /root/, this had to be done for images which require
       the use of sudo, and therefore do not allow remote root logins, even  for  file  transfers  (which  makes
       /root/ unavailable).

   Deploy Script Arguments
       Custom  deploy scripts are unlikely to need custom arguments to be passed to them, but salt-bootstrap has
       been extended quite a bit, and this may be necessary. script_args can be specified in either the  profile
       or the map file, to pass arguments to the deploy script:

          aws-amazon:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-1624987f
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: ec2-user
            script: bootstrap-salt
            script_args: -c /tmp/

       This has also been tested to work with pipes, if needed:

          script_args: '| head'

   Using Salt Cloud from Salt
   Using the Salt Modules for Cloud
       In  addition  to  the  salt-cloud  command, Salt Cloud can be called from Salt, in a variety of different
       ways. Most users will be interested in either the execution module or the state module, but  it  is  also
       possible to call Salt Cloud as a runner.

       Because  the  actual  work will be performed on a remote minion, the normal Salt Cloud configuration must
       exist on any target minion that needs to execute a Salt Cloud command.  Because Salt Cloud  now  supports
       breaking  out  configuration  into individual files, the configuration is easily managed using Salt's own
       file.managed state function. For example, the  following  directories  allow  this  configuration  to  be
       managed easily:

          /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/
          /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/

   Minion Keys
       Keep  in  mind  that when creating minions, Salt Cloud will create public and private minion keys, upload
       them to the minion, and place the public key on the machine that created the minion. It will not  attempt
       to place any public minion keys on the master, unless the minion which was used to create the instance is
       also the Salt Master. This is because granting arbitrary minions access to modify keys on the master is a
       serious security risk, and must be avoided.

   Execution Module
       The  cloud  module  is  available to use from the command line. At the moment, almost every standard Salt
       Cloud feature is available to use. The following commands are available:

   list_images
       This command is designed to show images that are available to be used to create an  instance  using  Salt
       Cloud.  In  general they are used in the creation of profiles, but may also be used to create an instance
       directly (see below).  Listing images requires a provider to be configured, and specified:

          salt myminion cloud.list_images my-cloud-provider

   list_sizes
       This command is designed to show sizes that are available to be used to create  an  instance  using  Salt
       Cloud.  In  general they are used in the creation of profiles, but may also be used to create an instance
       directly (see below). This command is not available for all cloud providers;  see  the  provider-specific
       documentation for details. Listing sizes requires a provider to be configured, and specified:

          salt myminion cloud.list_sizes my-cloud-provider

   list_locations
       This command is designed to show locations that are available to be used to create an instance using Salt
       Cloud.  In  general they are used in the creation of profiles, but may also be used to create an instance
       directly (see below). This command is not available for all cloud providers;  see  the  provider-specific
       documentation for details. Listing locations requires a provider to be configured, and specified:

          salt myminion cloud.list_locations my-cloud-provider

   query
       This  command  is used to query all configured cloud providers, and display all instances associated with
       those accounts. By default, it will run a standard query, returning the following fields:

       id     The name or ID of the instance, as used by the cloud provider.

       image  The disk image that was used to create this instance.

       private_ips
              Any public IP addresses currently assigned to this instance.

       public_ips
              Any private IP addresses currently assigned to this instance.

       size   The size of the instance; can refer to RAM, CPU(s), disk  space,  etc.,  depending  on  the  cloud
              provider.

       state  The  running  state  of  the  instance; for example, running, stopped, pending, etc. This state is
              dependent upon the provider.

       This command may also be used to perform a full  query  or  a  select  query,  as  described  below.  The
       following usages are available:

          salt myminion cloud.query
          salt myminion cloud.query list_nodes
          salt myminion cloud.query list_nodes_full

   full_query
       This  command  behaves  like  the  query  command,  but lists all information concerning each instance as
       provided by the cloud provider, in addition to the fields returned by the query command.

          salt myminion cloud.full_query

   select_query
       This command behaves like the  query  command,  but  only  returned  select  fields  as  defined  in  the
       /etc/salt/cloud configuration file. A sample configuration for this section of the file might look like:

          query.selection:
            - id
            - key_name

       This  configuration  would only return the id and key_name fields, for those cloud providers that support
       those two fields. This would be called using the following command:

          salt myminion cloud.select_query

   profile
       This command is used to create an instance using a profile that  is  configured  on  the  target  minion.
       Please note that the profile must be configured before this command can be used with it.

          salt myminion cloud.profile ec2-centos64-x64 my-new-instance

       Please  note  that  the  execution module does not run in parallel mode. Using multiple minions to create
       instances can effectively perform parallel instance creation.

   create
       This command is similar to the profile command, in that it is used to create a new instance. However,  it
       does  not  require  a  profile  to  be  pre-configured.   Instead,  all  of the options that are normally
       configured in a profile are passed directly to Salt Cloud to create the instance:

          salt myminion cloud.create my-ec2-config my-new-instance \
              image=ami-1624987f size='t1.micro' ssh_username=ec2-user \
              securitygroup=default delvol_on_destroy=True

       Please note that the execution module does not run in parallel mode. Using  multiple  minions  to  create
       instances can effectively perform parallel instance creation.

   destroy
       This  command  is  used  to  destroy  an  instance  or instances. This command will search all configured
       providers and remove any instance(s) which matches the name(s)  passed  in  here.  The  results  of  this
       command are non-reversable and should be used with caution.

          salt myminion cloud.destroy myinstance
          salt myminion cloud.destroy myinstance1,myinstance2

   action
       This  command  implements  both  the  action  and  the  function commands used in the standard salt-cloud
       command. If one of the standard action commands is used, an instance name must be provided. If one of the
       standard function commands is used, a provider configuration must be named.

          salt myminion cloud.action start instance=myinstance
          salt myminion cloud.action show_image provider=my-ec2-config \
              image=ami-1624987f

       The actions available are largely dependent  upon  the  module  for  the  specific  cloud  provider.  The
       following actions are available for all cloud providers:

       list_nodes
              This  is  a  direct call to the query function as described above, but is only performed against a
              single cloud provider. A provider configuration must be included.

       list_nodes_select
              This is a direct call to the full_query function as described above, but is only performed against
              a single cloud provider. A provider configuration must be included.

       list_nodes_select
              This is a direct call to the select_query function as  described  above,  but  is  only  performed
              against a single cloud provider.  A provider configuration must be included.

       show_instance
              This  is  a  thin  wrapper  around  list_nodes,  which returns the full information about a single
              instance. An instance name must be provided.

   State Module
       A subset of the execution module is available through the cloud  state  module.  Not  all  functions  are
       currently  included,  because  there  is  currently insufficient code for them to perform statefully. For
       example, a command to create an instance may be issued with a series of options, but those options cannot
       currently be statefully managed. Additional states to manage these options will be released  at  a  later
       time.

   cloud.present
       This state will ensure that an instance is present inside a particular cloud provider. Any option that is
       normally  specified  in the cloud.create execution module and function may be declared here, but only the
       actual presence of the instance will be managed statefully.

          my-instance-name:
            cloud.present:
              - cloud_provider: my-ec2-config
              - image: ami-1624987f
              - size: 't1.micro'
              - ssh_username: ec2-user
              - securitygroup: default
              - delvol_on_destroy: True

   cloud.profile
       This state will ensure that an instance is present inside a  particular  cloud  provider.  This  function
       calls  the  cloud.profile  execution  module  and  function,  but  as with cloud.present, only the actual
       presence of the instance will be managed statefully.

          my-instance-name:
            cloud.profile:
              - profile: ec2-centos64-x64

   cloud.absent
       This state will ensure that an instance (identified by name) does not exist in any of the cloud providers
       configured on the target minion. Please note that this state is  non-reversable  and  may  be  considered
       especially destructive when issued as a cloud state.

          my-instance-name:
            cloud.absent

   Runner Module
       The  cloud runner module is executed on the master, and performs actions using the configuration and Salt
       modules on the master itself. This means that any public minion keys will also be  properly  accepted  by
       the master.

       Using  the  functions  in  the  runner  module  is no different than using those in the execution module,
       outside of the behavior described in the above paragraph.  The following functions are  available  inside
       the runner:

       • list_images

       • list_sizes

       • list_locations

       • query

       • full_query

       • select_query

       • profile

       • destroy

       • action

       Outside of the standard usage of salt-run itself, commands are executed as usual:

          salt-run cloud.profile ec2-centos64-x86_64 my-instance-name

   CloudClient
       The execution, state, and runner modules ultimately all use the CloudClient library that ships with Salt.
       To  use  the  CloudClient  library locally (either on the master or a minion), create a client object and
       issue a command against it:

          import salt.cloud
          import pprint

          client = salt.cloud.CloudClient("/etc/salt/cloud")
          nodes = client.query()
          pprint.pprint(nodes)

   Reactor
       Examples  of  using  the  reactor  with  Salt  Cloud  are  available  in  the  ec2-autoscale-reactor  and
       salt-cloud-reactor formulas.

   Feature Comparison
   Feature Matrix
       A number of features are available in most cloud hosts, but not all are available everywhere. This may be
       because  the feature isn't supported by the cloud host itself, or it may only be that the feature has not
       yet been added to Salt Cloud. In a handful of cases, it is because the feature does not make sense for  a
       particular cloud provider (Saltify, for instance).

       This  matrix  shows which features are available in which cloud hosts, as far as Salt Cloud is concerned.
       This is not a comprehensive list of all features available in all cloud hosts, and should not be used  to
       make  business decisions concerning choosing a cloud host. In most cases, adding support for a feature to
       Salt Cloud requires only a little effort.

   Legacy Drivers
       Both AWS and Rackspace are listed as "Legacy". This is because those drivers have been replaced by  other
       drivers, which are generally the preferred method for working with those hosts.

       The  EC2  driver  should be used instead of the AWS driver, when possible. The OpenStack driver should be
       used instead of the Rackspace driver, unless the user is dealing with instances in  "the  old  cloud"  in
       Rackspace.

   Note for Developers
       When  adding  new features to a particular cloud host, please make sure to add the feature to this table.
       Additionally, if you notice a feature that is not properly listed here, pull  requests  to  fix  them  is
       appreciated.

   Standard Features
       These are features that are available for almost every cloud host.

SALT PROXY MINION

       Proxy  minions  are a developing Salt feature that enables controlling devices that, for whatever reason,
       cannot run a standard salt-minion.  Examples include network gear that has an API but runs a  proprietary
       OS,  devices  with  limited  CPU or memory, or devices that could run a minion, but for security reasons,
       will not.

       There are some proxy modules available, but if your device interface is not currently supported you  will
       most  likely  have  to write the interface yourself, because there are an infinite number of controllable
       devices. Fortunately, this is only as difficult as the actual interface to the  proxied  device.  Devices
       that have an existing Python module (PyUSB for example) would be relatively simple to interface.  Code to
       control  a  device  that  has  an HTML REST-based interface should be easy.  Code to control your typical
       housecat would be excellent source material for a PhD thesis.

       Salt proxy-minions provide the 'plumbing' that allows device enumeration and discovery, control,  status,
       remote execution, and state management.

       See the Proxy Minion Walkthrough for an end-to-end demonstration of a working REST-based proxy minion.

       See the Proxy Minion SSH Walkthrough for an end-to-end demonstration of a working SSH proxy minion.

       See  Proxyminion  States to configure and run salt-proxy on a remote minion. Specify all your master side
       proxy (pillar) configuration and use this state to remotely configure proxies on one or more minions.

       See Proxyminion Beacon to help with easy configuration and management of salt-proxy processes.

   New in 2017.7.0
       The  proxy_merge_grains_in_module  configuration  variable  introduced  in  2016.3,  has  been   changed,
       defaulting to True.

       The  connection  with  the  remote  device is kept alive by default, when the module implements the alive
       function  and  proxy_keep_alive  is  set   to   True.   The   polling   interval   is   set   using   the
       proxy_keep_alive_interval option which defaults to 1 minute.

       The developers are also able to use the proxy_always_alive, when designing a proxy module flexible enough
       to open the connection with the remote device only when required.

   New in 2016.11.0
       Proxy   minions   now   support  configuration  files  with  names  ending  in  '*.conf'  and  placed  in
       /etc/salt/proxy.d.

       Proxy minions can now be configured in /etc/salt/proxy  or  /etc/salt/proxy.d  instead  of  just  pillar.
       Configuration format is the same as it would be in pillar.

   New in 2016.3
       The deprecated config option enumerate_proxy_minions has been removed.

       As  mentioned  in  earlier  documentation, the add_proxymodule_to_opts configuration variable defaults to
       False  in  this  release.   This  means  if  you   have   proxymodules   or   other   code   looking   in
       __opts__['proxymodule']  you  will need to set this variable in your /etc/salt/proxy file, or modify your
       code to use the __proxy__ injected variable.

       The __proxyenabled__ directive now only  applies  to  grains  and  proxy  modules  themselves.   Standard
       execution modules and state modules are not prevented from loading for proxy minions.

       Enhancements  in grains processing have made the __proxyenabled__ directive somewhat redundant in dynamic
       grains code.  It is still required, but best practices for the __virtual__ function in grains files  have
       changed.   It  is now recommended that the __virtual__ functions check to make sure they are being loaded
       for the correct proxytype, example below:

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Only work on proxy
              """
              try:
                  if (
                      salt.utils.platform.is_proxy()
                      and __opts__["proxy"]["proxytype"] == "ssh_sample"
                  ):
                      return __virtualname__
              except KeyError:
                  pass

              return False

       The try/except block above exists because grains are processed very early in  the  proxy  minion  startup
       process, sometimes earlier than the proxy key in the __opts__ dictionary is populated.

       Grains  are  loaded  so early in startup that no dunder dictionaries are present, so __proxy__, __salt__,
       etc. are not available.  Custom grains located in  /srv/salt/_grains  and  in  the  salt  install  grains
       directory  can  now take a single argument, proxy, that is identical to __proxy__.  This enables patterns
       like

          def get_ip(proxy):
              """
              Ask the remote device what IP it has
              """
              return {"ip": proxy["proxymodulename.get_ip"]()}

       Then the grain ip will contain the result of calling the get_ip()  function  in  the  proxymodule  called
       proxymodulename.

       Proxy  modules  now  benefit from including a function called initialized().  This function should return
       True if the proxy's init() function has  been  successfully  called.   This  is  needed  to  make  grains
       processing easier.

       Finally,  if  there  is  a function called grains in the proxymodule, it will be executed on proxy-minion
       startup and its contents will be merged with the rest of the proxy's grains.  Since  older  proxy-minions
       might have used other methods to call such a function and add its results to grains, this is config-gated
       by  a  new  proxy configuration option called proxy_merge_grains_in_module.  This defaults to True in the
       2017.7.0 release.

   New in 2015.8.2
       BREAKING CHANGE: Adding the proxymodule variable  to __opts__ is deprecated.   The  proxymodule  variable
       has  been moved a new globally-injected variable called __proxy__.  A related configuration option called
       add_proxymodule_to_opts has been added and defaults to True.  In the next major release,  2016.3.0,  this
       variable will default to False.

       In  the  meantime,  proxies that functioned under 2015.8.0 and .1 should continue to work under 2015.8.2.
       You should rework your proxy code to use __proxy__ as soon as possible.

       The rest_sample example proxy minion has been updated to use __proxy__.

       This change was made because proxymodules are a LazyLoader object, but LazyLoaders cannot be  serialized.
       __opts__  gets  serialized,  and  so  things  like  saltutil.sync_all  and  state.highstate  would  throw
       exceptions.

       Support has been added to Salt's loader allowing custom  proxymodules  to  be  placed  in  salt://_proxy.
       Proxy  minions that need these modules will need to be restarted to pick up any changes.  A corresponding
       utility function, saltutil.sync_proxymodules, has been added to sync these modules to minions.

       In addition, a salt.utils helper function called is_proxy() was added to make it easier to tell when  the
       running  minion  is a proxy minion. NOTE: This function was renamed to salt.utils.platform.is_proxy() for
       the 2018.3.0 release

   New in 2015.8
       Starting with the 2015.8 release of Salt, proxy processes are no longer forked  off  from  a  controlling
       minion.   Instead,  they  have their own script salt-proxy which takes mostly the same arguments that the
       standard Salt minion does with the addition of --proxyid.  This is the id that the salt-proxy will use to
       identify itself to the master.  Proxy configurations are still best kept in Pillar and their  format  has
       not changed.

       This  change  allows  for  better  process  control  and logging.  Proxy processes can now be listed with
       standard process management utilities (ps from the command line).  Also, a full Salt minion is no  longer
       required (though it is still strongly recommended) on machines hosting proxies.

   Getting Started
       The  following diagram may be helpful in understanding the structure of a Salt installation that includes
       proxy-minions: [image]

       The key thing to remember is the left-most section of the diagram.  Salt's nature is  to  have  a  minion
       connect  to  a  master,  then  the master may control the minion.  However, for proxy minions, the target
       device cannot run a minion.

       After the proxy minion is started and initiates its connection to the device, it  connects  back  to  the
       salt-master and for all intents and purposes looks like just another minion to the Salt master.

       To create support for a proxied device one needs to create four things:

       1. The proxy_connection_module (located in salt/proxy).

       2. The grains support code (located in salt/grains).

       3. Salt modules specific to the controlled device.

       4. Salt states specific to the controlled device.

   Configuration parameters
       Proxy minions require no configuration parameters in /etc/salt/master.

       Salt's  Pillar  system  is ideally suited for configuring proxy-minions (though they can be configured in
       /etc/salt/proxy as well).  Proxies can either be designated via a pillar file in pillar_roots, or through
       an external pillar.  External pillars  afford  the  opportunity  for  interfacing  with  a  configuration
       management  system, database, or other knowledgeable system that that may already contain all the details
       of proxy targets.  To use static files in pillar_roots, pattern your files after the following  examples,
       which are based on the diagram above:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            net-device1:
              - net-device1
            net-device2:
              - net-device2
            net-device3:
              - net-device3
            i2c-device4:
              - i2c-device4
            i2c-device5:
              - i2c-device5
            433wireless-device6:
              - 433wireless-device6
            smsgate-device7:
              - device7

       /srv/pillar/net-device1.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: networkswitch
            host: 172.23.23.5
            username: root
            passwd: letmein

       /srv/pillar/net-device2.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: networkswitch
            host: 172.23.23.6
            username: root
            passwd: letmein

       /srv/pillar/net-device3.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: networkswitch
            host: 172.23.23.7
            username: root
            passwd: letmein

       /srv/pillar/i2c-device4.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: i2c_lightshow
            i2c_address: 1

       /srv/pillar/i2c-device5.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: i2c_lightshow
            i2c_address: 2

       /srv/pillar/433wireless-device6.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: 433mhz_wireless

       /srv/pillar/smsgate-device7.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: sms_serial
            deventry: /dev/tty04

       Note  the  contents  of  each minioncontroller key may differ widely based on the type of device that the
       proxy-minion is managing.

       In the above example

       • net-devices 1, 2, and 3 are network switches that have a management interface available at a particular
         IP address.

       • i2c-devices 4 and 5 are very low-level devices controlled over an i2c bus.  In this  case  the  devices
         are  physically  connected  to machine 'minioncontroller2', and are addressable on the i2c bus at their
         respective i2c addresses.

       • 433wireless-device6 is a 433 MHz wireless transmitter, also physically connected to minioncontroller2

       • smsgate-device7 is an SMS gateway connected to machine minioncontroller3 via a serial port.

       Because of the way pillar works, each of the salt-proxy processes that fork off the  proxy  minions  will
       only see the keys specific to the proxies it will be handling.

       Proxies  can  be  configured in /etc/salt/proxy or with files in /etc/salt/proxy.d as of Salt's 2016.11.0
       release.

       Also, in general, proxy-minions are lightweight, so the machines that run them could conceivably  control
       a  large number of devices.  To run more than one proxy from a single machine, simply start an additional
       proxy process with --proxyid set to the id to which you want the proxy to bind.  It is possible  for  the
       proxy services to be spread across many machines if necessary, or intentionally run on machines that need
       to  control  devices  because  of some physical interface (e.g. i2c and serial above).  Another reason to
       divide proxy services might be security.  In more secure environments only certain machines  may  have  a
       network path to certain devices.

   Proxymodules
       A  proxy module encapsulates all the code necessary to interface with a device.  Proxymodules are located
       inside the salt.proxy module, or can be placed in the _proxy directory in  your  file_roots  (default  is
       /srv/salt/_proxy.  At a minimum a proxymodule object must implement the following functions:

       __virtual__():  This function performs the same duty that it does for other types of Salt modules.  Logic
       goes here to determine if the module can be loaded, checking for the presence of Python modules on  which
       the proxy depends.  Returning False will prevent the module from loading.

       init(opts):  Perform  any  initialization  that  the  device  needs.   This is a good place to bring up a
       persistent connection to a device, or authenticate to create a persistent authorization token.

       initialized(): Returns True if init() was successfully called.

       shutdown(): Code to cleanly shut down or close a connection to  a  controlled  device  goes  here.   This
       function must exist, but can contain only the keyword pass if there is no shutdown logic required.

       ping():  While  not  required,  it  is  highly  recommended  that  this  function  also be defined in the
       proxymodule. The code for ping should contact the controlled device and make sure it is really available.

       alive(opts): Another optional function, it is used together with the  proxy_keep_alive  option  (default:
       True).  This function should return a boolean value corresponding to the state of the connection.  If the
       connection is down, will try to restart (shutdown followed by init). The polling frequency is  controlled
       using the proxy_keep_alive_interval option, in minutes.

       Grains are data about minions.  Most proxied devices will have a paltry amount of data as compared  to  a
       typical  Linux  server.   By  default, a proxy minion will have several grains taken from the host.  Salt
       core code requires values for kernel, os, and  os_family--all  of  these  are  forced  to  be  proxy  for
       proxy-minions.

       To  add  others  to  your  proxy  minion  for  a  particular  device,  create a file in salt/grains named
       [proxytype].py and place inside it the different functions that need to be run to collect  the  data  you
       are  interested in.  Here's an example.  Note the function below called proxy_functions.  It demonstrates
       how a grains function can take a single argument, which will be set to the value  of  __proxy__.   Dunder
       variables  are  not yet injected into Salt processes at the time grains are loaded, so this enables us to
       get a handle to the proxymodule so we can cross-call the functions therein used to communicate  with  the
       controlled device.

       Note  that  as  of  2016.3,  grains  values  can  also be calculated in a function called grains() in the
       proxymodule itself.  This might be useful if a proxymodule author wants to keep  all  the  code  for  the
       proxy interface in the same place instead of splitting it between the proxy and grains directories.

       This    function    will    only    be    called    automatically    if    the   configuration   variable
       proxy_merge_grains_in_module is set to True in the proxy configuration  file  (default  /etc/salt/proxy).
       This variable defaults to True in the release code-named 2017.7.0.

   The __proxyenabled__ directive
       In  previous  versions  of Salt the __proxyenabled__ directive controlled loading of all Salt modules for
       proxies (e.g. grains, execution modules, state modules).  From 2016.3 on, the only modules  that  respect
       __proxyenabled__ are grains and proxy modules.  These modules need to be told which proxy they work with.

       __proxyenabled__  is  a  list,  and  can  contain a single '*' to indicate a grains module works with all
       proxies.

       Example from salt/grains/rest_sample.py:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

   Salt Proxy Minion End-to-End Example
       The following is walkthrough that documents how to run a sample REST service and configure  one  or  more
       proxy minions to talk to and control it.

       1. Ideally,  create a Python virtualenv in which to run the REST service.  This is not strictly required,
          but without a virtualenv you will need to install bottle via pip globally on your system

       2. Clone   https://github.com/saltstack/salt-contrib   and   copy   the   contents   of   the   directory
          proxyminion_rest_example  somewhere  on a machine that is reachable from the machine on which you want
          to run the salt-proxy.  This machine needs Python 2.7 or later.

       3. Install bottle version 0.12.8 via pip or easy_install

          pip install bottle==0.12.8

       4. Run python rest.py --help for usage

       5. Start the REST API on an appropriate port and IP.

       6. Load the REST service's status page in  your  browser  by  going  to  the  IP/port  combination  (e.g.
          http://127.0.0.1:8000)

       7. You  should  see a page entitled "Salt Proxy Minion" with two sections, one for "services" and one for
          "packages" and you should see a log  entry  in  the  terminal  where  you  started  the  REST  process
          indicating that the index page was retrieved.
       [image]

       Now, configure your salt-proxy.

       1. Edit /etc/salt/proxy and add an entry for your master's location

          master: localhost

       2. On  your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for your proxy (in this
          example we will name the proxy with the letter 'p' followed by the port the proxy  is  answering  on).
          In your pillar topfile, place an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This   says   that   Salt's   pillar  should  load  some  values  for  the  proxy  p8000  from  the  file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       3. In the pillar root for your base environment, create the p8000.sls file with the following contents:

          proxy:
            proxytype: rest_sample
            url: http://<IP your REST listens on>:port

       In other words, if your REST service is listening on port 8000 on 127.0.0.1 the 'url'  key  above  should
       say url: http://127.0.0.1:8000

       4. Make sure your salt-master is running.

       5. Start the salt-proxy in debug mode

          salt-proxy --proxyid=p8000 -l debug

       6. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       7. Now  you should be able to ping your proxy.  When you ping, you should see a log entry in the terminal
          where the REST service is running.

          salt p8000 test.version

       8. The REST service implements a degenerately simple pkg and service provider as well as a small  set  of
          grains.   To  "install" a package, use a standard pkg.install.  If you pass '==' and a verrsion number
          after the package name then the service will parse that and accept that as the package's version.

       9. Try running salt p8000 grains.items to see what grains are available.   You  can  target  proxies  via
          grains if you like.

       10.
          You   can  also  start  and  stop  the  available  services  (apache,  redbull,  and  postgresql  with
          service.start, etc.

       11.
          States can be written to target the proxy.  Feel free to experiment with them.

   SSH Proxymodules
       See above for a general introduction to writing proxy modules.  All of the guidelines that apply to  REST
       are  the  same  for  SSH.   This  sections specifically talks about the SSH proxy module and explains the
       working of the example proxy module ssh_sample.

       Here is a simple example proxymodule used to interface to a device over SSH.  Code for the SSH  shell  is

   Connection Setup
       The  init()  method  is  responsible for connection setup. It uses the host, username and password config
       variables defined in the pillar data. The prompt kwarg  can  be  passed  to  SSHConnection  if  your  SSH
       server's  prompt  differs  from  the  example's  prompt  (Cmd).  Instantiating  the  SSHConnection  class
       establishes an SSH connection to the ssh server (using Salt VT).

   Command execution
       The package_* methods use the SSH connection (established in init()) to send  commands  out  to  the  SSH
       server.  The  sendline() method of SSHConnection class can be used to send commands out to the server. In
       the above example we send commands like pkg_list or pkg_install. You can send any SSH  command  via  this
       utility.

   Output parsing
       Output  returned by sendline() is a tuple of strings representing the stdout and the stderr respectively.
       In the toy example shown we simply scrape the output and convert it to a python dictionary, as  shown  in
       the parse method. You can tailor this method to match your parsing logic.

   Connection teardown
       The shutdown method is responsible for calling the close_connection() method of SSHConnection class. This
       ends the SSH connection to the server.

       For more information please refer to class SSHConnection.

   Salt Proxy Minion SSH End-to-End Example
       The  following  is  walkthrough  that documents how to run a sample SSH service and configure one or more
       proxy minions to talk to and control it.

       1. This walkthrough uses a custom SSH shell to provide an end to end example.  Any other  shells  can  be
          used too.

       2. Setup            the            proxy            command            shell           as           shown
          https://github.com/saltstack/salt-contrib/tree/master/proxyminion_ssh_example

       Now, configure your salt-proxy.

       1. Edit /etc/salt/proxy and add an entry for your master's location

          master: localhost
          multiprocessing: False

       2. On your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for your proxy (in  this
          example  we  will  name the proxy with the letter 'p' followed by the port the proxy is answering on).
          In your pillar topfile, place an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This  says  that  Salt's  pillar  should  load  some  values  for  the  proxy   p8000   from   the   file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       3. In the pillar root for your base environment, create the p8000.sls file with the following contents:

          proxy:
            proxytype: ssh_sample
            host: saltyVM
            username: salt
            password: badpass

       4. Make sure your salt-master is running.

       5. Start the salt-proxy in debug mode

          salt-proxy --proxyid=p8000 -l debug

       6. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       7. Now you should be able to run commands on your proxy.

          salt p8000 pkg.list_pkgs

       8. The  SSH  shell  implements  a  degenerately  simple  pkg.   To  "install"  a  package, use a standard
          pkg.install.  If you pass '==' and a verrsion number after the package  name  then  the  service  will
          parse that and accept that as the package's version.

   Proxy Minion Beacon
       The  salt  proxy  beacon is meant to facilitate configuring multiple proxies on one or many minions. This
       should simplify configuring and managing multiple salt-proxy processes.

       1. On your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for your proxy (in  this
          example we will name the proxy 'p8000').  In your pillar topfile, place an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This   says   that   Salt's   pillar  should  load  some  values  for  the  proxy  p8000  from  the  file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       2. In the pillar root for your base environment, create the p8000.sls file with the following contents:

          proxy:
            # set proxytype for your proxymodule
            proxytype: ssh_sample
            host: saltyVM
            username: salt
            password: badpass

       This should complete the proxy setup for p8000

       3. Configure the salt_proxy beacon

          beacons:
            salt_proxy:
              - proxies:
                  p8000: {}
                  p8001: {}

       Once this beacon is configured it will automatically start the  salt-proxy  process.  If  the  salt-proxy
       process is terminated the beacon will re-start it.

       4. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       5. Now you should be able to run commands on your proxy.

          salt p8000 pkg.list_pkgs
       New in version 2015.8.2.

   Proxy Minion States
       Salt proxy state can be used to deploy, configure and run a salt-proxy instance on your minion. Configure
       proxy settings on the master side and the state configures and runs salt-proxy on the remote end.

       1. On  your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for your proxy (in this
          example we will name the proxy 'p8000').  In your pillar topfile, place an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This  says  that  Salt's  pillar  should  load  some  values  for  the  proxy   p8000   from   the   file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       2. In the pillar root for your base environment, create the p8000.sls file with the following contents:

          proxy:
            # set proxytype for your proxymodule
            proxytype: ssh_sample
            host: saltyVM
            username: salt
            password: badpass

       3. Create the following state in your state tree (let's name it salt_proxy.sls)

          salt-proxy-configure:
            salt_proxy.configure_proxy:
              - proxyname: p8000
              - start: True # start the process if it isn't running

       4. Make sure your salt-master and salt-minion are running.

       5. Run the state salt_proxy on the minion where you want to run salt-proxy

       Example using state.sls to configure and run salt-proxy

          # salt device_minion state.sls salt_proxy

       This starts salt-proxy on device_minion

       6. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       7. Now you should be able to run commands on your proxy.

          salt p8000 pkg.list_pkgs

NETWORK AUTOMATION

       Network  automation is a continuous process of automating the configuration, management and operations of
       a computer network. Although the abstraction could be compared with the operations on  the  server  side,
       there  are  many  particular  challenges, the most important being that a network device is traditionally
       closed hardware able to run proprietary software only. In other words, the user is not  able  to  install
       the salt-minion package directly on a traditional network device. For these reasons, most network devices
       can  be controlled only remotely via proxy minions or using the Salt SSH. However, there are also vendors
       producing whitebox equipment (e.g. Arista, Cumulus) or others that have moved the operating system in the
       container (e.g. Cisco NX-OS, Cisco IOS-XR), allowing the salt-minion to  be  installed  directly  on  the
       platform.

   New in Carbon (2016.11)
       The methodologies for network automation have been introduced in 2016.11.0. Network automation support is
       based on proxy minions.

       • NAPALM proxyJunos proxyCisco NXOSCisco NSO

   NAPALM
       NAPALM  (Network  Automation  and  Programmability  Abstraction  Layer  with  Multivendor  support) is an
       opensourced Python library that implements a set of functions to interact with  different  router  vendor
       devices  using  a  unified  API.   Being  vendor-agnostic simplifies operations, as the configuration and
       interaction with the network device does not rely on a particular vendor.  [image]

       Beginning with 2017.7.0, the NAPALM modules have been transformed so they  can  run  in  both  proxy  and
       regular  minions.  That  means,  if the operating system allows, the salt-minion package can be installed
       directly on the network gear.  The interface between the network operating system and Salt in  that  case
       would be the corresponding NAPALM sub-package.

       For example, if the user installs the salt-minion on a Arista switch, the only requirement is napalm-eos.

       The following modules are available in 2017.7.0:

       • NAPALM grainsNET execution module - Networking basic features

       • NTP execution moduleBGP execution moduleRoutes execution moduleSNMP execution moduleUsers execution moduleProbes execution moduleNTP peers management stateSNMP configuration management stateUsers management stateNetconfig  state module - Manage the configuration of network devices using arbitrary templates and the
         Salt-specific advanced templating methodologies.

       • Network ACL execution module - Generate and load ACL (firewall) configuration on network devices.

       • Network ACL state - Manage the firewall configuration. It only requires writing  the  pillar  structure
         correctly!

       • NAPALM  YANG execution module - Parse, generate and load native device configuration in a standard way,
         using the OpenConfig/IETF models. This module contains also helpers for the states.

       • NAPALM YANG state module - Manage the  network  device  configuration  according  to  the  YANG  models
         (OpenConfig or IETF).

       • NET  finder  -  Runner  to find details easily and fast. It's smart enough to know what you are looking
         for. It will search in the details of the network interfaces, IP addresses,  MAC  address  tables,  ARP
         tables and LLDP neighbors.

       • BGP finder - Runner to search BGP neighbors details.

       • NAPALM  syslog  -  Engine  to  import  events from the napalm-logs library into the Salt event bus. The
         events are based on the  syslog  messages  from  the  network  devices  and  structured  following  the
         OpenConfig/IETF YANG models.

       • NAPALM  Helpers  -  Generic  helpers  for NAPALM-related operations. For example, the Compliance report
         function can be used inside the state modules to compare the expected and the existing configuration.

   Getting started
       Install NAPALM - follow the notes and check the platform-specific dependencies.

       Salt's Pillar system is ideally suited for configuring proxy-minions (though they can  be  configured  in
       /etc/salt/proxy as well).  Proxies can either be designated via a pillar file in pillar_roots, or through
       an  external  pillar.   External  pillars  afford  the  opportunity  for interfacing with a configuration
       management system, database, or other knowledgeable system that may already contain all  the  details  of
       proxy targets. To use static files in pillar_roots, pattern your files after the following examples:

       /etc/salt/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            router1:

            router1:
              - router1
              - ntp

              - switch2
            cpe1:
              - cpe1

       Define the cross-vendor template:

       /etc/salt/templates/ntp.jinja

          {%- if grains.vendor|lower == 'cisco' %}
            no ntp
            {%- for server in servers %}
            ntp server {{ server }}
            {%- endfor %}
            {%- for peer in peers %}
            ntp peer {{ peer }}
            {%- endfor %}
          {%- elif grains.os|lower == 'junos' %}
            system {
              replace:
              ntp {
                {%- for server in servers %}
                server {{ server }};
                {%- endfor %}
                {%- for peer in peers %}
                peer {{ peer }};
                {%- endfor %}
              }
            }
          {%- endif %}

       Define the SLS state file, making use of the Netconfig state module:

       /etc/salt/states/router/ntp.sls

          ntp_config_example:
            netconfig.managed:
              - template_name: salt://ntp.jinja
              - peers: {{ pillar.get('ntp.peers', []) | json }}
              - servers: {{ pillar.get('ntp.servers', []) | json }}

       Run the state and assure NTP configuration consistency across your multi-vendor network:

          $ sudo salt 'router*' state.sls router.ntp

       Besides CLI, the state can be scheduled or executed when triggered by a certain event.

   JUNOS
       Juniper  has  developed  a  Junos  specific  proxy  infrastructure  which  allows  remote  execution  and
       configuration  management  of  Junos  devices  without  having  to  install  SaltStack on the device. The
       infrastructure includes:

       • Junos proxyJunos execution moduleJunos state moduleJunos syslog engine

       The execution and state modules are implemented using junos-eznc (PyEZ).  Junos PyEZ is a  microframework
       for Python that enables you to remotely manage and automate devices running the Junos operating system.

   Getting started
       Install  PyEZ  on the system which will run the Junos proxy minion.  It is required to run Junos specific
       modules.

          pip install junos-eznc

       Next, set the master of the proxy minions.

       /etc/salt/proxy

          master: <master_ip>

       Add the details of the Junos device. Device details are usually stored in salt pillars. If the you do not
       wish to store credentials in the pillar, one can setup passwordless ssh.

       /srv/pillar/vmx_details.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: junos
            host: <hostip>
            username: user
            passwd: secret123

       Map the pillar file to the proxy minion. This is done in the top file.

       /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            vmx:
              - vmx_details

       NOTE:
          Before starting the Junos proxy make sure that netconf is enabled on the Junos  device.  This  can  be
          done by adding the following configuration on the Junos device.

              set system services netconf ssh

       Start the salt master.

          salt-master -l debug

       Then start the salt proxy.

          salt-proxy --proxyid=vmx -l debug

       Once  the master and junos proxy minion have started, we can run execution and state modules on the proxy
       minion. Below are few examples.

   CLI examples
       For detailed documentation of all the junos execution modules refer: Junos execution module

       Display device facts.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.facts

       Refresh the Junos facts. This function will also refresh the facts  which  are  stored  in  salt  grains.
       (Junos proxy stores Junos facts in the salt grains)

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.facts_refresh

       Call an RPC.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.rpc 'get-interface-information' '/var/log/interface-info.txt' terse=True

       Install config on the device.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.install_config 'salt://my_config.set'

       Shutdown the junos device.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.shutdown shutdown=True in_min=10

   State file examples
       For detailed documentation of all the junos state modules refer: Junos state module

       Executing an RPC on Junos device and storing the output in a file.

       /srv/salt/rpc.sls

          get-interface-information:
              junos:
                - rpc
                - dest: /home/user/rpc.log
                - interface_name: lo0

       Lock the junos device, load the configuration, commit it and unlock the device.

       /srv/salt/load.sls

          lock the config:
            junos.lock

          salt://configs/my_config.set:
            junos:
              - install_config
              - timeout: 100
              - diffs_file: 'var/log/diff'

          commit the changes:
            junos:
              - commit

          unlock the config:
            junos.unlock

       According to the device personality install appropriate image on the device.

       /srv/salt/image_install.sls

          {% if grains['junos_facts']['personality'] == MX %}
          salt://images/mx_junos_image.tgz:
            junos:
              - install_os
              - timeout: 100
              - reboot: True
          {% elif grains['junos_facts']['personality'] == EX %}
          salt://images/ex_junos_image.tgz:
            junos:
              - install_os
              - timeout: 150
          {% elif grains['junos_facts']['personality'] == SRX %}
          salt://images/srx_junos_image.tgz:
            junos:
              - install_os
              - timeout: 150
          {% endif %}

   Junos Syslog Engine
       Junos  Syslog  Engine  is  a  Salt  engine which receives data from various Junos devices, extracts event
       information and forwards it on the master/minion event bus. To start the engine on the salt  master,  add
       the following configuration in the master config file.  The engine can also run on the salt minion.

       /etc/salt/master

          engines:
            - junos_syslog:
                port: xxx

       For  junos_syslog engine to receive events, syslog must be set on the Junos device.  This can be done via
       following configuration:

          set system syslog host <ip-of-the-salt-device> port xxx any any

SALT VIRT

       The Salt Virt cloud controller capability was initially added to Salt  in  version  0.14.0  as  an  alpha
       technology.

       The initial Salt Virt system supports core cloud operations:

       • Virtual machine deployment

       • Inspection of deployed VMs

       • Virtual machine migration

       • Network profiling

       • Automatic VM integration with all aspects of Salt

       • Image Pre-seeding

       Many features are currently under development to enhance the capabilities of the Salt Virt systems.

       NOTE:
          It  is  noteworthy  that Salt was originally developed with the intent of using the Salt communication
          system as the backbone to a cloud controller.  This  means  that  the  Salt  Virt  system  is  not  an
          afterthought,  simply  a  system that took the back seat to other development. The original attempt to
          develop the cloud control aspects of Salt was a project called butter.  This project never  took  off,
          but was functional and proves the early viability of Salt to be a cloud controller.

       WARNING:
          Salt Virt does not work with KVM that is running in a VM. KVM must be running on the base hardware.

   Salt Virt Tutorial
       A tutorial about how to get Salt Virt up and running has been added to the tutorial section:

       Cloud Controller Tutorial

   The Salt Virt Runner
       The  point  of  interaction  with  the  cloud  controller  is the virt runner. The virt runner comes with
       routines to execute specific virtual machine routines.

       Reference documentation for the virt runner is available with the runner module documentation:

       Virt Runner Reference

   Based on Live State Data
       The Salt Virt system is based on using Salt to query live data about hypervisors and then using the  data
       gathered  to make decisions about cloud operations. This means that no external resources are required to
       run Salt Virt, and that the information gathered about the cloud is live and accurate.

   Deploy from Network or Disk
   Virtual Machine Disk Profiles
       Salt Virt allows for the disks created for  deployed  virtual  machines  to  be  finely  configured.  The
       configuration  is a simple data structure which is read from the config.option function, meaning that the
       configuration can be stored in the minion config file, the master config file, or the minion's pillar.

       This configuration option is called virt.disk. The default virt.disk data structure looks like this:

          virt.disk:
            default:
              - system:
                size: 8192
                format: qcow2
                model: virtio

       NOTE:
          The format and model does not need to be defined, Salt will default to the optimal format used by  the
          underlying hypervisor, in the case of kvm this it is qcow2 and virtio.

       This  configuration  sets  up  a disk profile called default. The default profile creates a single system
       disk on the virtual machine.

   Define More Profiles
       Many environments will require more complex disk profiles and may require more than one profile, this can
       be easily accomplished:

          virt.disk:
            default:
              - system:
                  size: 8192
            database:
              - system:
                  size: 8192
              - data:
                  size: 30720
            web:
              - system:
                  size: 1024
              - logs:
                  size: 5120

       This configuration allows for one of three profiles to be  selected,  allowing  virtual  machines  to  be
       created with different storage needs of the deployed vm.

   Virtual Machine Network Profiles
       Salt  Virt  allows for the network devices created for deployed virtual machines to be finely configured.
       The configuration is a simple data structure which is read from the config.option function, meaning  that
       the  configuration  can  be  stored  in  the  minion config file, the master config file, or the minion's
       pillar.

       This configuration option is called virt:nic. By default the virt:nic option is empty but defaults  to  a
       data structure which looks like this:

          virt:
            nic:
              default:
                eth0:
                  bridge: br0
                  model: virtio

       NOTE:
          The  model  does not need to be defined, Salt will default to the optimal model used by the underlying
          hypervisor, in the case of kvm this model is virtio

       This configuration sets up a network profile  called  default.  The  default  profile  creates  a  single
       Ethernet  device  on  the virtual machine that is bridged to the hypervisor's br0 interface. This default
       setup does not require setting up the virt:nic configuration, and is the reason  why  a  default  install
       only requires setting up the br0 bridge device on the hypervisor.

   Define More Profiles
       Many  environments will require more complex network profiles and may require more than one profile, this
       can be easily accomplished:

          virt:
            nic:
              dual:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: storage_br
              single:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
              triple:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: storage_br
                eth2:
                  bridge: dmz_br
              all:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: storage_br
                eth2:
                  bridge: dmz_br
                eth3:
                  bridge: database_br
              dmz:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: dmz_br
              database:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: database_br

       This configuration allows for one of six profiles to be selected, allowing virtual machines to be created
       which attach to different network depending on the needs of the deployed vm.

                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and yellow denotes
                 a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override  the  configured  state_output  value for minion output. One of 'full', 'terse', 'mixed',
              'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override the configured state_verbose value for minion output. Set  to  True  or  False.  Default:
              none.

   Synopsis
          salt '*' [ options ] sys.doc

          salt -E '.*' [ options ] sys.doc cmd

   Description
       Salt  allows  for  commands  to be executed across a swath of remote systems in parallel. This means that
       remote systems can be both controlled and queried with ease.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory contains the configuration  files
              for Salt master and minions. The default location on most systems is /etc/salt.

       -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
              The timeout in seconds to wait for replies from the Salt minions. The timeout number specifies how
              long the command line client will wait to query the minions and check on running jobs. Default: 5

       -s, --static
              By default as of version 0.9.8 the salt command returns data to the console as it is received from
              minions,  but previous releases would return data only after all data was received. Use the static
              option to only return the data with a hard timeout and after all minions have  returned.   Without
              the  static option, you will get a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output invalid
              as a whole.

       --async
              Instead of waiting for the job to run on minions only print the job id of  the  started  execution
              and complete.

       --subset=SUBSET
              Execute the routine on a random subset of the targeted minions.  The minions will be verified that
              they  have the named function before executing. The SUBSET argument is the count of the minions to
              target.

       -v VERBOSE, --verbose
              Turn on verbosity for the salt call, this will cause the salt command to print out extra data like
              the job id.

       --hide-timeout
              Instead of showing the return data for all minions. This option prints  only  the  online  minions
              which could be reached.

       -b BATCH, --batch-size=BATCH
              Instead  of  executing  on  all targeted minions at once, execute on a progressive set of minions.
              This option takes an argument in the form of an explicit number of minions to execute at once,  or
              a percentage of minions to execute on.

       --batch-wait=BATCH_WAIT
              Wait  the specified time in seconds after each job is done before freeing the slot in the batch of
              the next one.

       --batch-safe-limit=BATCH_SAFE_LIMIT
              Execute the salt job in batch mode if the job would have executed on at least this many minions.

       --batch-safe-size=BATCH_SAFE_SIZE
              Batch size to use for batch jobs created by --batch-safe-limit.

       -a EAUTH, --auth=EAUTH
              Pass in an external authentication medium to validate against. The credentials  will  be  prompted
              for. The options are auto, keystone, ldap, and pam. Can be used with the -T option.

       -T, --make-token
              Used  in  conjunction  with  the -a option. This creates a token that allows for the authenticated
              user to send commands without needing to re-authenticate.

       --return=RETURNER
              Choose an alternative returner to call on the minion, if an alternative returner is used then  the
              return  will  not  come  back to the command line but will be sent to the specified return system.
              The options are carbon,  cassandra,  couchbase,  couchdb,  elasticsearch,  etcd,  hipchat,  local,
              local_cache,  memcache,  mongo,  mysql,  odbc, postgres, redis, sentry, slack, sms, smtp, sqlite3,
              syslog, and xmpp.

       -d, --doc, --documentation
              Return the documentation for the module functions available on the minions

       --args-separator=ARGS_SEPARATOR
              Set the special argument used as a delimiter between command arguments of compound commands.  This
              is  useful  when  one  wants  to  pass  commas  as arguments to some of the commands in a compound
              command.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console logging log level. One of  all,  garbage,  trace,  debug,  info,  warning,  error,  quiet.
              Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/master.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile  logging  log  level.  One  of  all,  garbage,  trace, debug, info, warning, error, quiet.
              Default: warning.

   Target Selection
       The  default  matching  that  Salt  utilizes  is  shell-style  globbing  around  the   minion   id.   See
       https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch.

       -E, --pcre
              The target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression rather than a shell glob.

       -L, --list
              The    target   expression   will   be   interpreted   as   a   comma-delimited   list;   example:
              server1.foo.bar,server2.foo.bar,example7.quo.qux

       -G, --grain
              The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains system on the minions. The target
              expression is in the format of '<grain value>:<glob expression>'; example: 'os:Arch*'

              This was changed in version 0.9.8 to accept glob expressions instead of regular expression. To use
              regular expression matching with grains, use the --grain-pcre option.

       --grain-pcre
              The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains system on the minions. The target
              expression is in the format of '<grain value>:< regular expression>'; example: 'os:Arch.*'

       -N, --nodegroup
              Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master configuration file.

       -R, --range
              Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a range expression to  identify  targets.
              Range expressions look like %cluster.

              Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the location of the range server
              is referenced in the master configuration file.

       -C, --compound
              Utilize  many  target  definitions  to  make  the call very granular. This option takes a group of
              targets separated by and or or. The default matcher is a glob as usual. If something other than  a
              glob  is used, preface it with the letter denoting the type; example: 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or
              E@db*' Make sure that the compound target is encapsulated in quotes.

       -I, --pillar
              Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a pillar value to identify  targets.  The
              syntax for the target is the pillar key followed by a glob expression: "role:production*"

       -S, --ipcidr
              Match based on Subnet (CIDR notation) or IPv4 address.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass  in  an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the
              available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.  If an outputter  is
              used  that  does  not  support  the  data  passed  into it, then Salt will fall back on the pprint
              outputter and display the return data using the Python pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative  values  disable  indentation.
              Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and yellow denotes
                 a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override  the  configured  state_output  value for minion output. One of 'full', 'terse', 'mixed',
              'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override the configured state_verbose value for minion output. Set  to  True  or  False.  Default:
              none.

       NOTE:
          If using --out=json, you will probably want --static as well.  Without the static option, you will get
          a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output invalid as a whole.  This is due to using an
          iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to a JSON parser, use --static as well.

   salt-cloud
   salt-cp
   salt-cp
       Copy a file or files to one or more minions

   Synopsis
          salt-cp '*' [ options ] SOURCE [SOURCE2 SOURCE3 ...] DEST

          salt-cp -E '.*' [ options ] SOURCE [SOURCE2 SOURCE3 ...] DEST

          salt-cp -G 'os:Arch.*' [ options ] SOURCE [SOURCE2 SOURCE3 ...] DEST

   Description
       salt-cp  copies  files  from  the  master  to  all  of  the  Salt minions matched by the specified target
       expression.

       NOTE:
          salt-cp uses Salt's publishing mechanism. This means the privacy of the contents of the  file  on  the
          wire  is  completely  dependent  upon  the  transport  in use. In addition, if the master or minion is
          running with debug logging, the contents of the file will be logged to disk.

          In addition, this tool is less efficient than the Salt fileserver when copying  larger  files.  It  is
          recommended  to  instead  use  cp.get_file to copy larger files to minions. However, this requires the
          file to be located within one of the fileserver directories.

       Changed in version 2016.3.7,2016.11.6,2017.7.0: Compression support added, disable with -n. Also, if  the
       destination  path ends in a path separator (i.e. /,  or \ on Windows, the desitination will be assumed to
       be a directory. Finally, recursion is now supported, allowing for entire directories to be copied.

       Changed in version  2016.11.7,2017.7.2:  Reverted  back  to  the  old  copy  mode  to  preserve  backward
       compatibility.  The  new  functionality  added  in 2016.6.6 and 2017.7.0 is now available using the -C or
       --chunked CLI arguments. Note that compression, recursive copying, and support for copying large files is
       only available in chunked mode.

              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory contains the configuration  files
              for Salt master and minions. The default location on most systems is /etc/salt.

       -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
              The timeout in seconds to wait for replies from the Salt minions. The timeout number specifies how
              long the command line client will wait to query the minions and check on running jobs. Default: 5

       -N, --nodegroup
              Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master configuration file.

       -R, --range
              Instead  of  using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a range expression to identify targets.
              Range expressions look like %cluster.

              Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the location of the range server
              is referenced in the master configuration file.

       -C, --chunked
              Use new chunked mode to copy files. This mode supports large files, recursive directories  copying
              and compression.

              New in version 2016.11.7,2017.7.2.

       -n, --no-compression
              Disable gzip compression in chunked mode.

              New in version 2016.3.7,2016.11.6,2017.7.0.

   Description
       salt-extend is a templating tool for extending SaltStack. If you're looking to add a module to SaltStack,
       then the salt-extend utility can guide you through the process.

       You  can  use  Salt  Extend  to quickly create templated modules for adding new behaviours to some of the
       module subsystems within Salt.

       Salt Extend takes a template directory and merges it into a SaltStack source code directory.

       See also: Salt Extend.

   Options
       --extension, -e
              The extension type you want to develop, e.g. module, module_unit, state

       --salt-directory, -o
              The path to the salt installation, defaults to .

       --name, -n
              The module name for the new module

       --description, -d
              A description of the new extension

   salt-key
   salt-key
   Synopsis
          salt-key [ options ]

   Description
       Salt-key executes simple management of Salt server public keys used for authentication.

       On  initial  connection, a Salt minion sends its public key to the Salt master. This key must be accepted
       using the salt-key command on the Salt master.

       Salt minion keys can be in one of the following states:

       • unaccepted: key is waiting to be accepted.

       • accepted: key was accepted and the minion can communicate with the Salt master.

       • rejected: key was rejected using the salt-key command. In this state the minion does  not  receive  any
         communication from the Salt master.

       • denied:  key  was rejected automatically by the Salt master.  This occurs when a minion has a duplicate
         ID, or when a minion was rebuilt or had new keys generated and the previous key was  not  deleted  from
         the Salt master. In this state the minion does not receive any communication from the Salt master.

       To change the state of a minion key, use -d to delete the key and then accept or reject the key.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The  location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory contains the configuration files
              for Salt master and minions. The default location on most systems is /etc/salt.

       -u USER, --user=USER
              Specify user to run salt-key

       --hard-crash
              Raise any original exception rather than exiting gracefully. Default is False.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress output

       -y, --yes
              Answer 'Yes' to all questions presented, defaults to False

       --rotate-aes-key=ROTATE_AES_KEY
              Setting this to False prevents the master from refreshing the key session when keys are deleted or
              rejected, this lowers the security of the key deletion/rejection operation. Default is True.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of  all,  garbage,  trace,  debug,  info,  warning,  error,  quiet.
              Default: warning.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass  in  an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the
              available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.  If an outputter  is
              used  that  does  not  support  the  data  passed  into it, then Salt will fall back on the pprint
              outputter and display the return data using the Python pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative  values  disable  indentation.
              Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and yellow denotes
                 a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override  the  configured  state_output  value for minion output. One of 'full', 'terse', 'mixed',
              'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       -L, --list-all
              List all public keys. (Deprecated: use --list all)

       -a ACCEPT, --accept=ACCEPT
              Accept  the  specified public key (use --include-all to match rejected keys in addition to pending
              keys). Globs are supported.

       -A, --accept-all
              Accepts all pending keys.

       -r REJECT, --reject=REJECT
              Reject the specified public key (use --include-all to match accepted keys in addition  to  pending
              keys). Globs are supported.

       --gen-signature
              Create  a  signature  file of the master's public-key named master_pubkey_signature. The signature
              can be sent to a minion in the master's auth-reply and enables the minion to verify  the  master's
              public-key  cryptographically. This requires a new signing-key-pair which can be auto-created with
              the --auto-create parameter.

              disable StrictHostKeyChecking.

       --no-host-keys
              Fully ignores ssh host keys which by default are honored and connections would ask  for  approval.
              Useful   if   the   host  key  of  a  remote  server  has  changed  and  would  still  error  with
              --ignore-host-keys.

              Set  this  flag  to  attempt to deploy the authorized ssh key with all minions. This combined with
              --passwd can make initial deployment of keys very fast and easy.

       --identities-only
              Use the only authentication identity files configured in the ssh_config files. See  IdentitiesOnly
              flag in man ssh_config.

              Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/ssh.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of  all,  garbage,  trace,  debug,  info,  warning,  error,  quiet.
              Default: warning.

   Target Selection
       The   default   matching   that  Salt  utilizes  is  shell-style  globbing  around  the  minion  id.  See
       https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch.

       -E, --pcre
              The target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression rather than a shell glob.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any  of  the
              available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some  outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.  If an outputter is
              used that does not support the data passed into it,  then  Salt  will  fall  back  on  the  pprint
              outputter and display the return data using the Python pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print  the  output  indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable indentation.
              Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and yellow denotes
                 a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override the configured state_output value for minion output. One  of  'full',  'terse',  'mixed',
              'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override  the  configured  state_verbose  value  for minion output. Set to True or False. Default:
              none.

       NOTE:
          If using --out=json, you will probably want --static as well.  Without the static option, you will get
          a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output invalid as a whole.  This is due to using an
          iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to a JSON parser, use --static as well.

   spm
   spm
       Salt Package Manager

   Synopsis
          spm <command> [<argument>]

   Description
       spm is the frontend command for managing Salt packages. Packages normally only include formulas,  meaning
       a  group  of  SLS files that install into the file_roots on the Salt Master, but Salt modules can also be
       installed.

   Options
       -y, --assume-yes
              Assume yes instead of prompting the other whether or not to proceed  with  a  particular  command.
              Default is False.

       -f, --force
              When presented with a course of action that spm would normally refuse to perform, that action will
              be performed anyway. This is often destructive, and should be used with caution.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console  logging  log  level.  One  of  all,  garbage,  trace, debug, info, warning, error, quiet.
              Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/spm.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of  all,  garbage,  trace,  debug,  info,  warning,  error,  quiet.
              Default: warning.

   Commands
       update_repo
              Connect to remote repositories locally configured on the system and download their metadata.

       install
              Install a package from a configured SPM repository. Requires a package name.

       remove Remove an installed package from the system. Requires a package name.

       info   List information about an installed package. Requires a package name.

       files  List files belonging to an installed package. Requires a package name.

       local  Perform one of the above options (except for remove) on a package file, instead of on a package in
              a repository, or an installed package. Requires a valid path to a local file on the system.

       build  Build  a  package  from  a  directory  containing a FORMULA file. Requires a valid path to a local
              directory on the system.

       create_repo
              Scan a directory for valid SPM package files and build an  SPM-METADATA  file  in  that  directory
              which describes them.

   salt.auth.auto
       An "Always Approved" eauth interface to test against, not intended for production use

       salt.auth.auto.auth(username, password)
              Authenticate!

   salt.auth.django
       Provide authentication using Django Web Framework

       depends

              • Django Web Framework

       Django authentication depends on the presence of the django  framework  in  the  PYTHONPATH,  the  Django
       project's  settings.py  file  being  in  the  PYTHONPATH  and  accessible  via the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
       environment variable.

       Django auth can be defined like any other eauth module:

          external_auth:
            django:
              fred:
                - .*
                - '@runner'

       This will authenticate Fred via Django and allow him to run any execution module and all runners.

       The authorization details can optionally be located inside the Django database.  The  relevant  entry  in
       the models.py file would look like this:

          class SaltExternalAuthModel(models.Model):
              user_fk = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
              minion_or_fn_matcher = models.CharField(max_length=255)
              minion_fn = models.CharField(max_length=255)

       The external_auth clause in the master config would then look like this:

          external_auth:
            django:
              ^model: <fully-qualified reference to model class>

       When  a  user attempts to authenticate via Django, Salt will import the package indicated via the keyword
       ^model.  That model must have the fields indicated above, though the model DOES  NOT  have  to  be  named
       'SaltExternalAuthModel'.

       salt.auth.django.acl(username)

              Parameters
                     username -- Username to filter for

              Returns
                     Dictionary  that  can  be slotted into the __opts__ structure for eauth that designates the
                     user associated ACL

                   - .*
                 smartadmin:
                   - server1:
                     - .*

       salt.auth.django.auth(username, password)
              Simple Django auth

       salt.auth.django.is_connection_usable()

   salt.auth.file
       Provide authentication using local files

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       The file auth module allows simple authentication via local files.  Different  filetypes  are  supported,
       including:

          1. Text files, with passwords in plaintext or hashed

          2. Apache-style htpasswd files

          3. Apache-style htdigest files

       NOTE:
          The python-passlib library is required when using a ^filetype of htpasswd or htdigest.

       The simplest example is a plaintext file with usernames and passwords:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /etc/insecure-user-list.txt
              gene:
                - .*
              dean:
                - test.*

       In this example the /etc/insecure-user-list.txt file would be formatted as so:

          dean:goneFishing
          gene:OceanMan

       ^filename  is  the  only required parameter. Any parameter that begins with a ^ is passed directly to the
       underlying file authentication function via kwargs, with the leading ^ being stripped.

       The text file option is configurable to work with legacy formats:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /etc/legacy_users.txt
              ^filetype: text
              ^hashtype: md5
              ^username_field: 2
              ^password_field: 3
              ^field_separator: '|'
              trey:
                - .*

       This would authenticate users against a file of the following format:

          46|trey|16a0034f90b06bf3c5982ed8ac41aab4
          555|mike|b6e02a4d2cb2a6ef0669e79be6fd02e4
          2001|page|14fce21db306a43d3b680da1a527847a
          8888|jon|c4e94ba906578ccf494d71f45795c6cb

       NOTE:
          The hashutil.digest execution function is used  for  comparing  hashed  passwords,  so  any  algorithm
          supported by that function will work.

       There is also support for Apache-style htpasswd and htdigest files:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /var/www/html/.htusers
              ^filetype: htpasswd
              cory:
                - .*

       When using htdigest the ^realm must be set:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /var/www/html/.htdigest
              ^filetype: htdigest
              ^realm: MySecureRealm
              cory:
                - .*

       salt.auth.file.auth(username, password)
              File based authentication

              ^filename
                     The path to the file to use for authentication.

              ^filetype
                     The type of file: text, htpasswd, htdigest.

                     Default: text

              ^realm The realm required by htdigest authentication.

              NOTE:
                 The following parameters are only used with the text filetype.

              ^hashtype
                     The  digest  format  of  the  password.  Can  be  plaintext  or  any  digest  available via
                     hashutil.digest.

                     Default: plaintext

              ^field_separator
                     The character to use as a delimiter between fields in a text file.

                     Default: :

              ^username_field
                     The numbered field in the text file that contains the username, with numbering beginning at
                     1 (one).

                     Default: 1

              ^password_field
                     The numbered field in the text file that contains the password, with numbering beginning at
                     1 (one).

                     Default: 2

   salt.auth.keystone
       Provide authentication using OpenStack Keystone

       depends

              • keystoneclient Python module

       salt.auth.keystone.auth(username, password)
              Try and authenticate

       salt.auth.keystone.get_auth_url()
              Try and get the URL from the config, else return localhost

   salt.auth.ldap
       Provide authentication using simple LDAP binds

       depends

              • ldap Python module

       salt.auth.ldap.auth(username, password)
              Simple LDAP auth

       salt.auth.ldap.groups(username, **kwargs)
              Authenticate against an LDAP group

              Behavior is highly dependent on if Active Directory is in use.

              AD handles group membership very differently  than  OpenLDAP.   See  the  External  Authentication
              documentation for a thorough discussion of available parameters for customizing the search.

              OpenLDAP allows you to search for all groups in the directory and returns members of those groups.
              Then we check against the username entered.

       salt.auth.ldap.process_acl(auth_list, opts=None)
              Query  LDAP,  retrieve list of minion_ids from an OU or other search.  For each minion_id returned
              from the LDAP search, copy the perms matchers into the auth dictionary  :param  auth_list:  :param
              opts: __opts__ for when __opts__ is not injected :return: Modified auth list.

   salt.auth.mysql
       Provide authentication using MySQL.

       When  using MySQL as an authentication backend, you will need to create or use an existing table that has
       a username and a password column.

       To get started, create a simple table that holds just a username and a password. The password field  will
       hold a SHA256 checksum.

          CREATE TABLE `users` (
            `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
            `username` varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL,
            `password` varchar(70) DEFAULT NULL,
            PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
          ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

       To create a user within MySQL, execute the following statement.

          INSERT INTO users VALUES (NULL, 'diana', SHA2('secret', 256))

          mysql_auth:
            hostname: localhost
            database: SaltStack
            username: root
            password: letmein
            auth_sql: 'SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = "{0}" AND password = SHA2("{1}", 256)'

       The  auth_sql contains the SQL that will validate a user to ensure they are correctly authenticated. This
       is where you can specify other SQL queries to authenticate users.

       Enable MySQL authentication.

       salt.auth.mysql.auth(username, password)
              Authenticate using a MySQL user table

   salt.auth.pam
       Authenticate against PAM

       Provides an authenticate function that will allow the caller to authenticate a user against the Pluggable
       Authentication Modules (PAM) on the system.

       Implemented using ctypes, so no compilation is necessary.

       There is one extra configuration option for pam.  The pam_service that is  authenticated  against.   This
       defaults to login

          auth.pam.service: login

       NOTE:
          Solaris-like (SmartOS, OmniOS, ...) systems may need auth.pam.service set to other.

       NOTE:
          PAM authentication will not work for the root user.

          The Python interface to PAM does not support authenticating as root.

       NOTE:
          Using PAM groups with SSSD groups on python2.

          To use sssd with the PAM eauth module and groups the pysss module is needed.  On RedHat/CentOS this is
          python-sss.

          This should not be needed with python >= 3.3, because the os modules has the getgrouplist function.

              Returns True if the given username and password authenticate for the given service.  Returns False
              otherwise

              username: the username to authenticate

              password: the password in plain text

       salt.auth.pam.groups(username, *args, **kwargs)

   salt.auth.pki
       Authenticate via a PKI certificate.

       NOTE:
          This module is Experimental and should be used with caution

       Provides an authenticate function that will allow the caller to authenticate a user via their public cert
       against a pre-defined Certificate Authority.

       TODO: Add a 'ca_dir' option to configure a directory of CA files, a la Apache.

       depends

              • pyOpenSSL module

       salt.auth.pki.auth(username, password, **kwargs)
              Returns  True  if  the given user cert (password is the cert contents) was issued by the CA and if
              cert's Common Name is equal to username.

              Returns False otherwise.

              username: we need it to run the auth function from CLI/API;
                     it should be in master config auth/acl

              password: contents of user certificate (pem-encoded user public key);
                     why "password"? For CLI, it's the only available name

              Configure the CA cert in the master config file:

                 external_auth:
                   pki:
                     ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/ca_certs/trusted-ca.crt
                     your_user:
                       - .*

   salt.auth.rest
       Provide authentication using a REST call

       REST auth can be defined like any other eauth module:

          external_auth:
            rest:
              ^url: https://url/for/rest/call
              fred:
                - .*
                - '@runner'

       If there are entries underneath the ^url entry then they are merged with  any  responses  from  the  REST
       call.   In  the  above  example,  assuming  the  REST call does not return any additional ACLs, this will
       authenticate Fred via a REST call and allow him to run any execution module and all runners.

       The REST call should return a JSON object that maps to a regular eauth YAML structure as above.

       salt.auth.rest.auth(username, password)
              REST authentication

       salt.auth.rest.rest_auth_setup()

   salt.auth.sharedsecret
       Provide authentication using configured shared secret

          external_auth:
            sharedsecret:
              fred:
                - .*
                - '@jobs'

       The   shared   secret   should   be   added   to   the   master    configuration,    for    example    in
       /etc/salt/master.d/sharedsecret.conf  (make  sure  that  file  is  only  readable by the user running the
       master):

          sharedsecret: OIUHF_CHANGE_THIS_12h88

       This auth module should be used with caution. It was initially designed to work with a frontal that takes
       care of authentication (for example kerberos) and places the shared secret in the  HTTP  headers  to  the
       salt-api  call.  This  salt-api call should really be done on localhost to avoid someone eavesdropping on
       the shared secret.

       See the documentation for cherrypy to setup the headers in your frontal.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       salt.auth.sharedsecret.auth(username, password)
              Shared secret authentication

   salt.auth.yubico
       Provide authentication using YubiKey.

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       depends
              yubico-client Python module

       To get your YubiKey API key you will need to visit the website below.

       https://upgrade.yubico.com/getapikey/

       The resulting page will show the generated Client ID (aka AuthID or API ID) and  the  generated  API  key
       (Secret Key). Make a note of both and use these two values in your /etc/salt/master configuration.
          /etc/salt/master

              yubico_users:
                damian:
                  id: 12345
                  key: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

                  damian:
                    - test.*

       Please  wait  five  to  ten  minutes  after generating the key before testing so that the API key will be
       updated on all the YubiCloud servers.

       salt.auth.yubico.auth(username, password)

   salt.beacons.avahi_announce
       Beacon to announce via avahi (zeroconf)

       New in version 2016.11.0.

   Dependencies
       • python-avahi

       • dbus-python

       salt.beacons.avahi_announce.beacon(config)
              Broadcast values via zeroconf

              If  the  announced  values  are  static,  it is advised to set run_once: True (do not poll) on the
              beacon configuration.

              The following are required configuration settings:

              • servicetype - The service type to announce

              • port - The port of the service to announce

              • txt - The TXT record of the service being announced as a dict. Grains can be used to define  TXT
                values using one of following two formats:

                • grains.<grain_name>grains.<grain_name>[i]  where  i  is an integer representing the index of the grain to use. If
                  the grain is not a list, the index is ignored.

              The following are optional configuration settings:

              • servicename - Set the name of the service. Will use the hostname from the minion's host grain if
                this value is not set.

              • reset_on_change - If True and there is a change in TXT records detected, it will stop announcing
                the service and then restart announcing the service. This interruption in  service  announcement
                may  be  desirable  if the client relies on changes in the browse records to update its cache of
                TXT records. Defaults to False.

              • reset_wait - The number of seconds to wait after announcement stops  announcing  and  before  it
                restarts  announcing  in  the  case  where  there  is  a  change  in  TXT  records  detected and
                reset_on_change is True.  Defaults to 0.

              • copy_grains - If True, Salt will copy the grains passed into the beacon when it backs them up to
                check for changes on the next iteration.  Normally, instead of copy, it would use straight value
                assignment. This will allow detection of  changes  to  grains  where  the  grains  are  modified
                in-place  instead of completely replaced.  In-place grains changes are not currently done in the
                main Salt code but may be done due to a custom plug-in. Defaults to False.

   Use Case: Posting Failed Login Events to Slack
       This can be done using the following reactor SLS:

          report-wtmp:
            runner.salt.cmd:
              - args:
                - fun: slack.post_message
                - channel: mychannel      # Slack channel
                - from_name: someuser     # Slack user
                - message: "Failed login from `{{ data.get('user', '') or 'unknown user' }}` on `{{ data['id'] }}`"

       Match the event like so in the master config file:

          reactor:

            - 'salt/beacon/*/btmp/':
              - salt://reactor/btmp.sls

       NOTE:
          This  approach uses the slack execution module directly on the master, and therefore requires that the
          master has a slack API key in its configuration:

              slack:
                api_key: xoxb-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

          See the slack execution module documentation for more information. While you  can  use  an  individual
          user's  API  key  to  post  to  Slack,  a  bot user is likely better suited for this. The slack engine
          documentation has information on how to set up a bot user.

              within  that  timeframe  or  if  notify_days  equals  -1 (always report information).  The default
              notification threshold is 45 days and can be overridden at the beacon level and at  an  individual

              The  first  one  will match all mounted disks beginning with "/", except /home The second one will
              match disks from A:to Z:on a Windows system

              Note that if a regular expression are evaluated after static mount points, which means that  if  a
              regular  expression  matches  another defined mount point, it will override the previously defined

       Caution
              Using generic mask options like open, access, ignored, and closed_nowrite with reactors can easily
              cause   the  reactor  to  loop  on  itself.  To  mitigate  this  behavior,  consider  setting  the

              The mask can also contain the following options:

              • dont_follow       - Don't dereference symbolic links

              • excl_unlink       - Omit events for children after they have been unlinked

              • oneshot           - Remove watch after one event

              • onlydir           - Operate only if name is directory

              recurse:
                     Recursively watch files in the directory

              auto_add:
                     Automatically start watching files that are created in the watched directory

              exclude:
                     Exclude directories or files from triggering events in  the  watched  directory.   Can  use
                     regex if regex is set to True

              coalesce:
                     If  this  coalescing  option  is  enabled, events are filtered based on their unicity, only
                     unique events  are  enqueued,  doublons  are  discarded.   An  event  is  unique  when  the
                     combination  of its fields (wd, mask, cookie, name) is unique among events of a same batch.
                     After a batch of events is processed  any  events  are  accepted  again.   This  option  is
                     top-level  (at  the  same level as the path) and therefore affects all paths that are being
                     watched. This is due to this option being at the Notifier level in pyinotify.

   salt.beacons.napalm_beacon
   Watch NAPALM functions and fire events on specific triggers
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       NOTE:
          The  NAPALM  beacon only works only when running under a regular Minion or a Proxy Minion, managed via
          NAPALM.  Check the documentation for the NAPALM proxy module.

       The configuration accepts a list of Salt functions to be invoked, and the corresponding output  hierarchy
       that  should be matched against. To invoke a function with certain arguments, they can be specified using
       the _args key, or _kwargs for more specific key-value arguments.

       The match structure follows the output hierarchy of the NAPALM functions, under the out key.

       For example, the following is normal structure returned by the ntp.stats execution function:

          {
              "comment": "",
              "result": true,
              "out": [
                  {
                      "referenceid": ".GPSs.",
                      "remote": "172.17.17.1",
                      "synchronized": true,
                      "reachability": 377,
                      "offset": 0.461,
                      "when": "860",
                      "delay": 143.606,
                      "hostpoll": 1024,
                      "stratum": 1,
                      "jitter": 0.027,
                      "type": "-"
                  },
                  {
                      "referenceid": ".INIT.",
                      "remote": "172.17.17.2",
                      "synchronized": false,
                      "reachability": 0,
                      "offset": 0.0,
                      "when": "-",
                      "delay": 0.0,
                      "hostpoll": 1024,
                      "stratum": 16,
                      "jitter": 4000.0,
                      "type": "-"
                  }
              ]
          }

       In order to fire events when the synchronization is lost with one of the NTP peers, e.g., 172.17.17.2, we
       can match it explicitly as:

          ntp.stats:
            remote: 172.17.17.2
            synchronized: false

       There is one single nesting level, as the output of ntp.stats is just a list of  dictionaries,  and  this
       beacon will compare each dictionary from the list with the structure examplified above.

       NOTE:
          When we want to match on any element at a certain level, we can configure * to match anything.

       Considering  a  more  complex  structure  consisting  on  multiple nested levels, e.g., the output of the
       bgp.neighbors execution function, to check when any neighbor from the global routing table is  down,  the
       match structure would have the format:

          bgp.neighbors:
            global:
              '*':
                up: false

       The  match structure above will match any BGP neighbor, with any network (* matches any AS number), under
       the global VRF.  In other words, this beacon will push an event on  the  Salt  bus  when  there's  a  BGP
       neighbor down.

       The  right  operand  can also accept mathematical operations (i.e., <, <=, !=, >, >= etc.) when comparing
       numerical values.

       Configuration Example:

          beacons:
            napalm:
              - net.interfaces:
                  # fire events when any interfaces is down
                  '*':
                    is_up: false
              - net.interfaces:
                  # fire events only when the xe-0/0/0 interface is down
                  'xe-0/0/0':
                    is_up: false
              - ntp.stats:
                  # fire when there's any NTP peer unsynchornized
                  synchronized: false
              - ntp.stats:
                  # fire only when the synchronization
                  # with with the 172.17.17.2 NTP server is lost
                  _args:
                    - 172.17.17.2
                  synchronized: false
              - ntp.stats:
                  # fire only when there's a NTP peer with
                  # synchronization stratum > 5
                  stratum: '> 5'

       Event structure example:

          {
              "_stamp": "2017-09-05T09:51:09.377202",
              "args": [],
              "data": {
                  "comment": "",
                  "out": [

                      }
                  ],

   salt.beacons.network_settings
       Beacon to monitor network adapter setting changes on Linux

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       class salt.beacons.network_settings.Hashabledict
              Helper class that implements a hash function for a dictionary

       salt.beacons.network_settings.beacon(config)
              Watch for changes on network settings

              By default, the beacon will emit when there is a value change on one of the settings on watch. The
              config also support the onvalue parameter for each setting, which instruct the beacon to only emit
              if the setting changed to the value defined.

              Example Config

                 beacons:
                   network_settings:
                     - interfaces:
                         eth0:
                           ipaddr:
                           promiscuity:
                             onvalue: 1
                         eth1:
                           linkmode:

              The  config above will check for value changes on eth0 ipaddr and eth1 linkmode. It will also emit
              if the promiscuity value changes to 1.

              Beacon items can use the * wildcard to make a definition apply to several interfaces. For  example
              an eth* would apply to all ethernet interfaces.

              Setting  the  argument coalesce = True will combine all the beacon results on a single event.  The
              example below shows how to trigger coalesced results:

                 beacons:
                   network_settings:
                     - coalesce: True
                     - interfaces:
                         eth0:

   salt.beacons.salt_monitor
       A beacon to execute salt execution module functions. This beacon will fire only if  the  return  data  is
       "truthy".   The  function  return,  function  name  and args and/or kwargs, will be passed as data in the
       event.

       The configuration can accept a list of salt functions to execute every  interval.   Make  sure  to  allot
       enough  time  via  'interval'  key  to  allow  all salt functions to execute.  The salt functions will be
       executed sequentially.

       The elements in list of functions can be either a simple string (with no arguments) or a dictionary  with
       a single key being the salt execution module and sub keys indicating args and / or kwargs.

       See example config below.

              You  can  either  specify  a  threshold for each value and only emit a beacon if it is exceeded or
              define a range and emit a beacon when the value is out of range.

              Units: * humidity:                     percent * temperature:                  degrees  Celsius  *

   salt.beacons.service
       Send events covering service status

       salt.beacons.service.beacon(config)
              Scan for the configured services and fire events

              Example Config

                 beacons:
                   service:
                     - services:
                         salt-master: {}
                         mysql: {}

              The config above sets up beacons to check for the salt-master and mysql services.

              The config also supports two other parameters for each service:

              onchangeonly:  when  onchangeonly is True the beacon will fire events only when the service status
              changes.  Otherwise, it will fire an event at each beacon interval.  The default is False.

              delay: when delay is greater than 0 the beacon will fire events  only  after  the  service  status
              changes,  and  the delay (in seconds) has passed.  Applicable only when onchangeonly is True.  The
              default is 0.

              emitatstartup: when emitatstartup is False the beacon will not  fire  event  when  the  minion  is
              reload. Applicable only when onchangeonly is True.  The default is True.

              uncleanshutdown:  If  uncleanshutdown is present it should point to the location of a pid file for
              the service.  Most services will not clean up this pid file if they are shutdown  uncleanly  (e.g.
              via  kill -9) or if they are terminated through a crash such as a segmentation fault.  If the file
              is present, then the beacon will add uncleanshutdown: True to the  event.   If  not  present,  the
              field  will  be  False.   The  field  is  only added when the service is NOT running. Omitting the
              configuration variable altogether will turn this feature off.

              Please note that some init systems can remove the pid file if the service  registers  as  crashed.
              One  such  example  is  nginx  on  CentOS  7, where the service unit removes the pid file when the
              service shuts down (IE: the pid file is observed as removed when kill -9  is  sent  to  the  nginx
              master process). The 'uncleanshutdown' option might not be of much use there, unless the unit file
              is modified.

              Here  is an example that will fire an event 30 seconds after the state of nginx changes and report
              an uncleanshutdown.  This example is for Arch, which places nginx's pid file in /run.

                 beacons:
                   service:
                     - services:
                         nginx:
                           onchangeonly: True
                           delay: 30
                           uncleanshutdown: /run/nginx.pid

   salt.beacons.status
       The status beacon is intended to send a basic health check event up to the master, this allows for  event
       driven routines based on presence to be set up.

       The  intention  of  this beacon is to add the config options to add monitoring stats to the health beacon
       making it a one stop shop for gathering systems health and status data

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       To configure this beacon to use the defaults, set up an empty dict for it in the minion config:

          beacons:
            status: []

       By default, all of the information from the following execution module functions will be returned:

          • loadavg

          • cpustats

          • meminfo

          • vmstats

          • time

       You can also configure your own set of functions to be returned:

          beacons:
            status:
              - time:
                - all
              - loadavg:
                - all

       You may also configure only certain fields from each function to be returned.  For instance, the  loadavg
       function returns the following fields:

          • 1-min

          • 5-min

          • 15-min

       If you wanted to return only the 1-min and 5-min fields for loadavg then you would configure:

          beacons:
            status:
              - loadavg:
                - 1-min
                - 5-min

       Other functions only return a single value instead of a dictionary. With these, you may specify all or 0.
       The following are both valid:

          beacons:
            status:
              - time:
                - all

          beacons:
            status:
              - time:
                - 0

       If a status function returns a list, you may return the index marker or markers for specific list items:

          beacons:
            status:
              - w:
                - 0
                - 1
                - 2

       WARNING:
          Not  all status functions are supported for every operating system. Be certain to check the minion log
          for errors after configuring this beacon.

   How to Tell What An Event Means
       In the events that this beacon fires, a type of 7 denotes a login, while a type of 8  denotes  a  logout.
       These  values  correspond  to  the  ut_type  value  from a wtmp/utmp event (see the wtmp manpage for more
       information).  In the extremely unlikely case that your platform  uses  different  values,  they  can  be
       overridden using a ut_type key in the beacon configuration:

          beacons:
            wtmp:
              - ut_type:
                  login: 9
                  logout: 10

       This  beacon's  events  include an action key which will be either login or logout depending on the event
       type.

       Changed in version 2019.2.0: action key added to beacon event, and ut_type config parameter added.

   Use Case: Posting Login/Logout Events to Slack
       This can be done using the following reactor SLS:

          report-wtmp:
            runner.salt.cmd:
              - args:
                - fun: slack.post_message
                - channel: mychannel      # Slack channel
                - from_name: someuser     # Slack user
                - message: "{{ data.get('action', 'Unknown event') | capitalize }} from `{{ data.get('user', '') or 'unknown user' }}` on `{{ data['id'] }}`"

       Match the event like so in the master config file:

          reactor:

            - 'salt/beacon/*/wtmp/':
              - salt://reactor/wtmp.sls

       NOTE:
          This approach uses the slack execution module directly on the master, and therefore requires that  the
          master has a slack API key in its configuration:

              slack:
                api_key: xoxb-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

          See  the  slack  execution  module documentation for more information. While you can use an individual
          user's API key to post to Slack, a bot user is  likely  better  suited  for  this.  The  slack  engine
          documentation has information on how to set up a bot user.

       salt.beacons.wtmp.beacon(config)
              Read the last wtmp file and return information on the logins

       salt.beacons.wtmp.validate(config)
              Validate the beacon configuration

APIS

   Python client API
       Salt  provides  several  entry  points  for interfacing with Python applications.  These entry points are
       often referred to as *Client() APIs. Each client accesses different parts of Salt, either from the master
       or from a minion. Each client is detailed below.

       SEE ALSO:
          There are many ways to access Salt programmatically.

          Salt can be used from CLI scripts as well as via a REST interface.

          See Salt's outputter system to retrieve structured data from Salt as JSON, or as shell-friendly  text,
          or many other formats.

          See the state.event runner to utilize Salt's event bus from shell scripts.

          Salt's  netapi  module  provides  access  to  Salt externally via a REST interface.  Review the netapi
          module documentation for more information.

   Salt's opts dictionary
       Some clients require access to Salt's opts dictionary. (The dictionary representation of  the  master  or
       minion config files.)

       A  common  pattern for fetching the opts dictionary is to defer to environment variables if they exist or
       otherwise fetch the config from the default location.

       salt.config.client_config(path, env_var='SALT_CLIENT_CONFIG', defaults=None)
              Load Master configuration data

              Usage:

                 import salt.config
                 master_opts = salt.config.client_config('/etc/salt/master')

              Returns a dictionary of the Salt Master  configuration  file  with  necessary  options  needed  to
              communicate with a locally-running Salt Master daemon.  This function searches for client specific
              configurations and adds them to the data from the master configuration.

              This is useful for master-side operations like LocalClient.

       salt.config.minion_config(path, env_var='SALT_MINION_CONFIG', defaults=None, cache_minion_id=False,
       ignore_config_errors=True, minion_id=None, role='minion')
              Reads in the minion configuration file and sets up special options

              This  is  useful  for  Minion-side  operations, such as the Caller class, and manually running the
              loader interface.

                 import salt.config
                 minion_opts = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')

   Salt's Loader Interface
       Modules in the Salt ecosystem are loaded into memory using a custom loader system. This allows modules to
       have conditional requirements (OS, OS version, installed  libraries,  etc)  and  allows  Salt  to  inject
       special variables (__salt__, __opts__, etc).

       Most  modules  can  be  manually  loaded. This is often useful in third-party Python apps or when writing
       tests. However some modules require and expect a full, running Salt system  underneath.  Notably  modules
       that facilitate master-to-minion communication such as the mine, publish, and peer execution modules. The
       error  KeyError: 'master_uri' is a likely indicator for this situation. In those instances use the Caller
       class to execute those modules instead.

       Each module type has a corresponding loader function.

       salt.loader.minion_mods(opts, context=None, utils=None, whitelist=None, initial_load=False,
       loaded_base_name=None, notify=False, static_modules=None, proxy=None)
              Load execution modules

              Returns a dictionary of execution modules appropriate for the current  system  by  evaluating  the
              __virtual__() function in each module.

              Parametersopts (dict) -- The Salt options dictionary

                     • context  (dict) -- A Salt context that should be made present inside generated modules in
                       __context__

                     • utils (dict) -- Utility functions which should be  made  available  to  Salt  modules  in
                       __utils__. See utils_dirs in salt.config for additional information about configuration.

                     • whitelist (list) -- A list of modules which should be whitelisted.

                     • initial_load (bool) -- Deprecated flag! Unused.

                     • loaded_base_name (str) -- A string marker for the loaded base name.

                     • notify  (bool) -- Flag indicating that an event should be fired upon completion of module
                       loading.

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 __grains__ = salt.loader.grains(__opts__)
                 __opts__['grains'] = __grains__
                 __utils__ = salt.loader.utils(__opts__)
                 __salt__ = salt.loader.minion_mods(__opts__, utils=__utils__)
                 __salt__['test.ping']()

       salt.loader.raw_mod(opts, name, functions, mod='modules')
              Returns a single module loaded raw and bypassing the __virtual__ function

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 testmod = salt.loader.raw_mod(__opts__, 'test', None)
                 testmod['test.ping']()

       salt.loader.states(opts, functions, utils, serializers, whitelist=None, proxy=None, context=None)
              Returns the state modules

              Parametersopts (dict) -- The Salt options dictionary

                     • functions (dict) -- A dictionary of minion modules, with module names as keys  and  funcs
                       as values.

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 statemods = salt.loader.states(__opts__, None, None)

       salt.loader.grains(opts, force_refresh=False, proxy=None, context=None)
              Return the functions for the dynamic grains and the values for the static grains.

              Since  grains  are computed early in the startup process, grains functions do not have __salt__ or
              __proxy__ available.  At proxy-minion startup,  this  function  is  called  with  the  proxymodule
              LazyLoader object so grains functions can communicate with their controlled device.

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 __grains__ = salt.loader.grains(__opts__)
                 print __grains__['id']

       salt.loader.grain_funcs(opts, proxy=None, context=None)
              Returns the grain functions

                     import salt.config
                     import salt.loader

                     __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                     grainfuncs = salt.loader.grain_funcs(__opts__)

   Salt's Client Interfaces
   LocalClient
       class salt.client.LocalClient(c_path='/etc/salt/master', mopts=None, skip_perm_errors=False,
       io_loop=None, keep_loop=False, auto_reconnect=False, listen=False)
              The interface used by the salt CLI tool on the Salt Master

              LocalClient  is used to send a command to Salt minions to execute execution modules and return the
              results to the Salt Master.

              Importing and using LocalClient must be done on the same machine as the Salt Master and it must be
              done using the same user that the Salt Master is running as. (Unless external_auth  is  configured
              and authentication credentials are included in the execution).

              NOTE:
                 The LocalClient uses a Tornado IOLoop, this can create issues when using the LocalClient inside
                 an  existing  IOLoop.  If  creating  the  LocalClient in partnership with another IOLoop either
                 create  the  IOLoop  before  creating  the  LocalClient,  or  when  creating  the  IOLoop   use
                 ioloop.current() which will return the ioloop created by LocalClient.

                 import salt.client

                 local = salt.client.LocalClient()
                 local.cmd('*', 'test.fib', [10])

              cmd(tgt, fun, arg=(), timeout=None, tgt_type='glob', ret='', jid='', full_return=False,
              kwarg=None, **kwargs)
                     Synchronously execute a command on targeted minions

                     The  cmd method will execute and wait for the timeout period for all minions to reply, then
                     it will return all minion data at once.

                        >>> import salt.client
                        >>> local = salt.client.LocalClient()
                        >>> local.cmd('*', 'cmd.run', ['whoami'])
                        {'jerry': 'root'}

                     With extra keyword arguments for the command function to be run:

                        local.cmd('*', 'test.arg', ['arg1', 'arg2'], kwarg={'foo': 'bar'})

                     Compound commands can be used for multiple executions in a single publish.  Function  names
                     and  function  arguments are provided in separate lists but the index values must correlate
                     and an empty list must be used if no arguments are required.

                        >>> local.cmd('*', [
                                'grains.items',
                                'sys.doc',
                                'cmd.run',
                            ],
                            [
                                [],
                                [],
                                ['uptime'],
                            ])

                     Parameterstgt (string or list) -- Which minions to target  for  the  execution.  Default  is
                              shell glob. Modified by the tgt_type option.

                            • fun (string or list of strings) --

                              The   module   and  function  to  call  on  the  specified  minions  of  the  form
                              module.function. For example test.ping or grains.items.

                              Compound commands
                                     Multiple functions may be called in a single publish by passing a  list  of
                                     commands. This can dramatically lower overhead and speed up the application
                                     communicating with Salt.

                                     This  requires  that the arg param is a list of lists. The fun list and the
                                     arg list must correlate by index meaning a  function  that  does  not  take
                                     arguments must still have a corresponding empty list at the expected index.

                            • arg (list or list-of-lists) -- A list of arguments to pass to the remote function.
                              If  the  function  takes  no  arguments arg may be omitted except when executing a
                              compound command.

                            • timeout -- Seconds to wait after the last minion returns but  before  all  minions
                              return.

                            • tgt_type --

                              The type of tgt. Allowed values:

                              • glob - Bash glob completion - Default

                              • pcre - Perl style regular expression

                              • list - Python list of hosts

                              • grain - Match based on a grain comparison

                              • grain_pcre - Grain comparison with a regex

                              • pillar - Pillar data comparison

                              • pillar_pcre - Pillar data comparison with a regex

                              • nodegroup - Match on nodegroup

                              • range - Use a Range server for matching

                              • compound - Pass a compound match string

                              • ipcidr - Match based on Subnet (CIDR notation) or IPv4 address.

                              Changed in version 2017.7.0: Renamed from expr_form to tgt_typeret  --  The  returner to use. The value passed can be single returner, or a comma
                              delimited list of returners to call in order on the minions

                            • kwarg -- A dictionary with keyword arguments for the function.

                            • full_return -- Output the job return only (default) or the full  return  including
                              exit code and other job metadata.

                            • kwargs --

                              Optional  keyword  arguments.  Authentication credentials may be passed when using
                              external_auth.

                              For example: local.cmd('*', 'test.ping',  username='saltdev',  password='saltdev',
                              eauth='pam').              Or:             local.cmd('*',             'test.ping',
                              token='5871821ea51754fdcea8153c1c745433')

                     Returns
                            A dictionary with the result of the  execution,  keyed  by  minion  ID.  A  compound
                            command will return a sub-dictionary keyed by function name.

              cmd_async(tgt, fun, arg=(), tgt_type='glob', ret='', jid='', kwarg=None, **kwargs)
                     Asynchronously send a command to connected minions

                     The function signature is the same as cmd() with the following exceptions.

                     Returns
                            A job ID or 0 on failure.

                        >>> local.cmd_async('*', 'test.sleep', [300])
                        '20131219215921857715'

              cmd_batch(tgt, fun, arg=(), tgt_type='glob', ret='', kwarg=None, batch='10%', **kwargs)
                     Iteratively execute a command on subsets of minions at a time

                     The function signature is the same as cmd() with the following exceptions.

                     Parameters
                            batch -- The batch identifier of systems to execute on

                     Returns
                            A generator of minion returns

                        >>> returns = local.cmd_batch('*', 'state.highstate', batch='10%')

                     Yields the individual minion returns as they come in

                     The function signature is the same as cmd() with the following exceptions.

                     Normally  cmd_iter() does not yield results for minions that are not connected. If you want
                     it to return results for disconnected minions set expect_minions=True in kwargs.

                     Returns
                            A generator yielding the individual minion returns

                        >>> ret = local.cmd_iter('*', 'test.ping')
                        >>> for i in ret:

              show_jid=False, verbose=False, **kwargs)

                     Yields the individual minion returns as they come in, or None
                            when no returns are available.

                     The function signature is the same as cmd() with the following exceptions.

                     Returns
                            A generator yielding the individual minion returns, or  None  when  no  returns  are
                            available. This allows for actions to be injected in between minion returns.

                        >>> ret = local.cmd_iter_no_block('*', 'test.ping')
                        >>> for i in ret:

                     Execute a command on a random subset of the targeted systems

                     The function signature is the same as cmd() with the following exceptions.

                     Parameterssubset -- The number of systems to execute on

                            • cli  --  When this is set to True, a generator is returned, otherwise a dictionary

              **kwargs)
                     Asynchronously send a command to connected minions

                     Prep the job directory and publish a command to any targeted minions.

                     Returns
                            A dictionary of (validated) pub_data or an empty dictionary on failure. The pub_data
                            contains the job ID and a list of all minions that are expected to return data.

   Salt Caller
       class salt.client.Caller(c_path='/etc/salt/minion', mopts=None)
              Caller is the same interface used by the salt-call command-line tool on the Salt Minion.

              Changed in version 2015.8.0: Added the cmd method for consistency with  the  other  Salt  clients.
              The  existing function and sminion.functions interfaces still exist but have been removed from the
              docs.

              Importing and using Caller must be done on the same machine as a Salt Minion and it must  be  done
              using the same user that the Salt Minion is running as.

              Usage:

                 import salt.client
                 caller = salt.client.Caller()
                 caller.cmd('test.ping')

              Note,  a  running  master  or  minion daemon is not required to use this class.  Running salt-call
              --local simply sets file_client to 'local'. The same can  be  achieved  at  the  Python  level  by
              including that setting in a minion config file.

              New in version 2014.7.0: Pass the minion config as the mopts dictionary.

                 import salt.client
                 import salt.config
                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 __opts__['file_client'] = 'local'
                 caller = salt.client.Caller(mopts=__opts__)

              cmd(fun, *args, **kwargs)
                     Call an execution module with the given arguments and keyword arguments

                     Changed  in  version  2015.8.0:  Added  the  cmd method for consistency with the other Salt
                     clients.  The existing function and sminion.functions interfaces still exist but have  been
                     removed from the docs.

                        caller.cmd('test.arg', 'Foo', 'Bar', baz='Baz')

                        caller.cmd('event.send', 'myco/myevent/something',
                            data={'foo': 'Foo'}, with_env=['GIT_COMMIT'], with_grains=True)

   Salt Proxy Caller
       class salt.client.ProxyCaller(c_path='/etc/salt/proxy', mopts=None)
              ProxyCaller  is  the  same  interface  used  by  the  salt-call  with the args --proxyid <proxyid>
              command-line tool on the Salt Proxy Minion.

              Importing and using ProxyCaller must be done on the same machine as a Salt Minion and it  must  be
              done using the same user that the Salt Minion is running as.

              Usage:

                 import salt.client
                 caller = salt.client.ProxyCaller()
                 caller.cmd('test.ping')

              Note,  a  running  master  or  minion daemon is not required to use this class.  Running salt-call
              --local simply sets file_client to 'local'. The same can  be  achieved  at  the  Python  level  by
              including that setting in a minion config file.

                 import salt.client
                 import salt.config
                 __opts__ = salt.config.proxy_config('/etc/salt/proxy', minion_id='quirky_edison')
                 __opts__['file_client'] = 'local'
                 caller = salt.client.ProxyCaller(mopts=__opts__)

              NOTE:
                 To  use this for calling proxies, the is_proxy functions requires that --proxyid be an argument
                 on the commandline for the script this is used in, or that the string proxy is in the  name  of
                 the script.

              cmd(fun, *args, **kwargs)
                     Call an execution module with the given arguments and keyword arguments

                        caller.cmd('test.arg', 'Foo', 'Bar', baz='Baz')

                        caller.cmd('event.send', 'myco/myevent/something',
                            data={'foo': 'Foo'}, with_env=['GIT_COMMIT'], with_grains=True)

   RunnerClient
       class salt.runner.RunnerClient(opts, context=None)
              The interface used by the salt-run CLI tool on the Salt Master

              It executes runner modules which run on the Salt Master.

              Importing  and  using RunnerClient must be done on the same machine as the Salt Master and it must
              be done using the same user that the Salt Master is running as.

              Salt's external_auth can be used to authenticate calls. The  eauth  user  must  be  authorized  to
              execute runner modules: (@runner).  Only the master_call() below supports eauth.

              asynchronous(fun, low, user='UNKNOWN', pub=None, local=True)
                     Execute  the  function  in  a multiprocess and return the event tag to use to watch for the
                     return

              cmd(fun, arg=None, pub_data=None, kwarg=None, print_event=True, full_return=False)
                     Execute a function

              cmd_async(low)
                     Execute a runner function asynchronously; eauth is respected

                     This function requires that external_auth is configured  and  the  user  is  authorized  to
                     execute runner functions: (@runner).

                        runner.eauth_async({
                            'fun': 'jobs.list_jobs',
                            'username': 'saltdev',
                            'password': 'saltdev',
                            'eauth': 'pam',
                        })

              cmd_sync(low, timeout=None, full_return=False)
                     Execute a runner function synchronously; eauth is respected

                     This  function  requires  that  external_auth  is  configured and the user is authorized to
                     execute runner functions: (@runner).

                            'fun': 'jobs.list_jobs',
                            'username': 'saltdev',
                            'password': 'saltdev',
                            'eauth': 'pam',
                        })

   WheelClient
       class salt.wheel.WheelClient(opts=None)
              An interface to Salt's wheel modules

              Wheel modules interact with various parts of the Salt Master.

              Importing and using WheelClient must be done on the same machine as the Salt Master and it must be
              done using the same user that the Salt Master is running as. Unless  external_auth  is  configured
              and the user is authorized to execute wheel functions: (@wheel).

   netapi modules
   Introduction to netapi modules
       netapi  modules  provide  API-centric  access to Salt. Usually externally-facing services such as REST or
       WebSockets, XMPP, XMLRPC, etc.

       In general netapi modules bind to a port and start a service. They are purposefully open-ended. A  single
       module can be configured to run as well as multiple modules simultaneously.

       netapi  modules are enabled by adding configuration to your Salt Master config file and then starting the
       salt-api daemon. Check the docs for each module to see external requirements and configuration settings.

       Communication with Salt and Salt satellite projects is done using  Salt's  own  Python  API.  A  list  of
       available client interfaces is below.

          salt-api

                 Prior  to  Salt's  2014.7.0  release,  netapi  modules  lived  in the separate sister projected
                 salt-api. That project has been merged into the main Salt project.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of netapi modules

   Client interfaces
       Salt's client interfaces expose executing functions by crafting a dictionary of values that are mapped to
       function arguments. This allows calling functions simply by creating  a  data  structure.  (And  this  is
       exactly how much of Salt's own internals work!)

       class salt.netapi.NetapiClient(opts)
              Provide  a  uniform  method  of  accessing  the  various  client interfaces in Salt in the form of
              low-data data structures. For example:

              >>> client = NetapiClient(__opts__)
              >>> lowstate = {'client': 'local', 'tgt': '*', 'fun': 'test.ping', 'arg': ''}
              >>> client.run(lowstate)

              local(*args, **kwargs)
                     Run execution modules synchronously

                     See salt.client.LocalClient.cmd() for all available parameters.

                     Sends a command from the master to the targeted minions. This is the  same  interface  that
                     Salt's  own  CLI uses. Note the arg and kwarg parameters are sent down to the minion(s) and
                     the given function, fun, is called with those parameters.

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the execution module

              local_async(*args, **kwargs)

                     Wraps salt.runner.RunnerClient.cmd_sync().

                     Note that runner functions must be called using keyword  arguments.   Positional  arguments
                     are not supported.

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the runner module

                     Wraps salt.runner.RunnerClient.cmd_async().

                     Note  that  runner  functions must be called using keyword arguments.  Positional arguments
                     are not supported.

                     Wraps salt.client.ssh.client.SSHClient.cmd_sync().

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the salt-ssh command

                     not supported.

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the wheel module

   Writing netapi modules
       netapi modules, put simply, bind a port and start a service.  They are purposefully open-ended and can be
       used to present a variety of external interfaces to Salt, and even present multiple interfaces at once.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of netapi modules

   Configuration
       All netapi configuration is done in the Salt master config and takes a form similar to the following:

          rest_cherrypy:
            port: 8000
            debug: True
            ssl_crt: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
            ssl_key: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.key

   The __virtual__ function
       Like all module types in Salt, netapi modules go through Salt's loader interface  to  determine  if  they
       should be loaded into memory and then executed.

       The  __virtual__ function in the module makes this determination and should return False or a string that
       will serve as the name of the module. If the module raises an ImportError or any other  errors,  it  will
       not be loaded.

   The start function
       The  start()  function will be called for each netapi module that is loaded. This function should contain
       the server loop that actually starts the service. This is started in a multiprocess.

   Multiple instances
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       rest_cherrypy and rest_tornado  support  running  multiple  instances  by  copying  and  renaming  entire
       directory  of those. To start the copied multiple netapi modules, add configuration blocks for the copied
       netapi modules in the Salt Master config. The name of each added configuration block must match with  the
       name of each directory of the copied netapi module.

   Inline documentation
       As  with the rest of Salt, it is a best-practice to include liberal inline documentation in the form of a
       module docstring and docstrings on any classes, methods, and functions in your netapi module.

   Loader “magic” methods
       The loader makes the __opts__ data structure available to any function in a netapi module.

ARCHITECTURE

       If you are used to configuration management tools that require you to plan down to the last detail before
       you install anything, you are probably wondering why this section doesn't appear before the  installation
       instructions.  With  Salt,  you  can  switch  to  a  high  availability architecture at any time, and add
       additional components to scale your deployment as you go.

       Since a single Salt master can manage thousands of systems,  we  usually  recommend  that  you  start  by
       deploying a single Salt master, and then modifying your deployment as needed for redundancy, geographical
       distribution, and scale.

   High Availability Features in Salt
       Salt  supports several features for high availability and fault tolerance.  Brief documentation for these
       features is listed alongside their configuration parameters in Configuration file examples.

   Multimaster
       Salt minions can connect to multiple  masters  at  one  time  by  configuring  the  master  configuration
       parameter  as  a YAML list of all the available masters.  By default, all masters are "hot", meaning that
       any master can direct commands to the Salt infrastructure.

       In a multimaster configuration, each master must have the same cryptographic keys, and minion  keys  must
       be  accepted  on  all masters separately.  The contents of file_roots and pillar_roots need to be kept in
       sync with processes external to Salt as well

       A tutorial on setting up multimaster with "hot" masters is here:

       Multimaster Tutorial

   Multimaster with Failover
       Changing the master_type parameter from str to failover will  cause  minions  to  connect  to  the  first
       responding  master  in the list of masters. Every master_alive_interval seconds the minions will check to
       make sure the current master is still responding.  If the  master  does  not  respond,  the  minion  will
       attempt  to  connect to the next master in the list.  If the minion runs out of masters, the list will be
       recycled in case dead masters have been restored.  Note that master_alive_interval must be present in the
       minion configuration, or else the recurring job to check master status will not get scheduled.

       Failover can be combined with PKI-style encrypted keys, but PKI is NOT REQUIRED to use failover.

       Multimaster with PKI and Failover is discussed in this tutorial

       master_type: failover can be combined with master_shuffle: True to spread minion connections  across  all
       masters (one master per minion, not each minion connecting to all masters).  Adding Salt Syndics into the
       mix  makes  it  possible  to create a load-balanced Salt infrastructure.  If a master fails, minions will
       notice and select another master from the available list.

   Syndic
       Salt's Syndic feature is a way to create differing infrastructure topologies.  It is not strictly  an  HA
       feature, but can be treated as such.

       With  the  syndic,  a  Salt  infrastructure can be partitioned in such a way that certain masters control
       certain segments of the infrastructure, and "Master of  Masters"  nodes  can  control  multiple  segments
       underneath them.

       Syndics are covered in depth in Salt Syndic.

   Syndic with Multimaster
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Syndic  with  Multimaster lets you connect a syndic to multiple masters to provide an additional layer of
       redundancy in a syndic configuration.

       Syndics are covered in depth in Salt Syndic.

   Salt Syndic
       The most basic or typical Salt topology consists of a single Master node controlling a  group  of  Minion
       nodes.   An  intermediate  node  type, called Syndic, when used offers greater structural flexibility and
       scalability in the construction of Salt topologies than topologies constructed only  out  of  Master  and
       Minion node types.

       A  Syndic  node  can  be  thought  of  as a special passthrough Minion node.  A Syndic node consists of a
       salt-syndic daemon and a salt-master daemon running on the same system.  The salt-master  daemon  running
       on  the  Syndic  node  controls  a  group of lower level Minion nodes and the salt-syndic daemon connects
       higher level Master node, sometimes called a Master of Masters.

       The salt-syndic daemon relays publications and events between the Master node and the  local  salt-master
       daemon.   This  gives  the  Master  node control over the Minion nodes attached to the salt-master daemon
       running on the Syndic node.

   Configuring the Syndic
       To setup a Salt Syndic you need to tell the Syndic node and its Master node about each  other.   If  your
       Master node is located at 10.10.0.1, then your configurations would be:

       On the Syndic node:

          # /etc/salt/master
          syndic_master: 10.10.0.1  # may be either an IP address or a hostname

          # /etc/salt/minion

          # id is shared by the salt-syndic daemon and a possible salt-minion daemon
          # on the Syndic node
          id: my_syndic

       On the Master node:

          # /etc/salt/master
          order_masters: True

       The  syndic_master  option  tells  the Syndic node where to find the Master node in the same way that the
       master option tells a Minion node where to find a Master node.

       The id option is used by the salt-syndic daemon to identify with  the  Master  node  and  if  unset  will
       default to the hostname or IP address of the Syndic just as with a Minion.

       The  order_masters option configures the Master node to send extra information with its publications that
       is needed by Syndic nodes connected directly to it.

       NOTE:
          Each Syndic must provide its own file_roots directory. Files will  not  be  automatically  transferred
          from the Master node.

   Configuring the Syndic with Multimaster
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Syndic  with  Multimaster lets you connect a syndic to multiple masters to provide an additional layer of
       redundancy in a syndic configuration.

       Higher level masters should  first  be  configured  in  a  multimaster  configuration.   See  Multimaster
       Tutorial.

       On the syndic, the syndic_master option is populated with a list of the higher level masters.

       Since  each  syndic  is connected to each master, jobs sent from any master are forwarded to minions that
       are connected to each syndic. If the master_id value is set in the master  config  on  the  higher  level
       masters,  job  results  are  returned to the master that originated the request in a best effort fashion.
       Events/jobs without a master_id are returned to any available master.

   Running the Syndic
       The salt-syndic daemon is a separate process that needs to be started  in  addition  to  the  salt-master
       daemon  running  on  the  Syndic node.  Starting the salt-syndic daemon is the same as starting the other
       Salt daemons.

       The Master node in many ways sees the Syndic as an ordinary Minion node.  In particular, the Master  will
       need to accept the Syndic's Minion key as it would for any other Minion.

       On the Syndic node:

          # salt-syndic
          or
          # service salt-syndic start

       On the Master node:

          # salt-key -a my_syndic

       The  Master  node  will now be able to control the Minion nodes connected to the Syndic.  Only the Syndic
       key will be listed in the Master node's key registry but this also means that key  activity  between  the
       Syndic's  Minions and the Syndic does not encumber the Master node.  In this way, the Syndic's key on the
       Master node can be thought of as a placeholder for the keys of all the Minion and  Syndic  nodes  beneath
       it, giving the Master node a clear, high level structural view on the Salt cluster.

       On the Master node:

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          my_syndic
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          Rejected Keys:

          # salt '*' test.version
          minion_1:
              2018.3.4
          minion_2:
              2018.3.4
          minion_4:
              2018.3.4
          minion_3:
              2018.3.4

   Topology
       A  Master  node  (a  node  which  is  itself not a Syndic to another higher level Master node) must run a
       salt-master daemon and optionally a salt-minion daemon.

       A Syndic node must run salt-syndic and salt-master daemons and optionally a salt-minion daemon.

       A Minion node must run a salt-minion daemon.

       When a salt-master daemon issues a command, it will be received by the Syndic and Minion  nodes  directly
       connected  to  it.   A  Minion node will process the command in the way it ordinarily would.  On a Syndic
       node, the salt-syndic daemon will relay the command to the salt-master daemon running on the Syndic node,
       which then propagates the command to the Minions and Syndics connected to it.

       When events and job return data are  generated  by  salt-minion  daemons,  they  are  aggregated  by  the
       salt-master  daemon they are connected to, which salt-master daemon then relays the data back through its
       salt-syndic daemon until the data reaches the Master or Syndic node that issued the command.

   Syndic wait
       syndic_wait is a master configuration file setting that specifies the number of seconds the  Salt  client
       should  wait  for  additional  syndics to check in with their lists of expected minions before giving up.
       This value defaults to 5 seconds.

       The syndic_wait setting is necessary because the higher-level master does not have a way of knowing which
       minions are below the syndics. The higher-level master has its own  list  of  expected  minions  and  the
       masters  below  them  have their own lists as well, so the Salt client does not know how long to wait for
       all returns. The syndic_wait option allows time for all minions to return to the Salt client.

       NOTE:
          To reduce the amount of time the CLI waits for Minions to respond, install a Minion on the  Syndic  or
          tune the value of the syndic_wait configuration.

       While  it  is  possible to run a Syndic without a Minion installed on the same system, it is recommended,
       for a faster CLI response time, to do so.  Without a Minion installed on the  Syndic  node,  the  timeout
       value  of  syndic_wait increases significantly - about three-fold. With a Minion installed on the Syndic,
       the CLI timeout resides at the value defined in syndic_wait.

       NOTE:
          If you have a very large infrastructure or many layers of Syndics, you may find that the  CLI  doesn't
          wait  long  enough for the Syndics to return their events.  If you think this is the case, you can set
          the syndic_wait value in the Master configs on the Master or Syndic  nodes  from  which  commands  are
          executed.  The default value is 5, and should work for the majority of deployments.

       In order for a Master or Syndic node to return information from Minions that are below their Syndics, the
       CLI requires a short wait time in order to allow the Syndics to gather responses from their Minions. This
       value is defined in the syndic_wait config option and has a default of five seconds.

   Syndic config options
       These  are  the  options  that  can  be used to configure a Syndic node.  Note that other than id, Syndic
       config options are placed in the Master config on the Syndic node.

          • id: Syndic id (shared by the salt-syndic daemon with a potential  salt-minion  daemon  on  the  same
            system)

          • syndic_master: Master node IP address or hostname

          • syndic_master_port: Master node ret_port

          • syndic_log_file: path to the logfile (absolute or not)

          • syndic_pidfile: path to the pidfile (absolute or not)

          • syndic_wait: time in seconds to wait on returns from this syndic

   Minion Data Cache
       Beginning  with  Salt  2016.11.0,  the  Pluggable Minion Data Cache was introduced. The minion data cache
       contains the Salt Mine data, minion grains, and minion pillar information cached on the Salt  Master.  By
       default, Salt uses the localfs cache module, but other external data stores can be used instead.

       Using  a pluggable minion cache modules allows for the data stored on a Salt Master about Salt Minions to
       be replicated on other Salt Masters the Minion  is  connected  to.  Please  see  the  Minion  Data  Cache
       documentation for more information and configuration examples.

MINION DATA CACHE

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       The  Minion data cache contains the Salt Mine data, minion grains and minion pillar information cached on
       the Salt Master. By default, Salt uses the localfs cache module to save the data in a msgpack file on the
       Salt Master.

   Pluggable Data Cache
       While the default Minion data cache is the localfs cache, other external data stores can also be used  to
       store this data such as the consul module.  To configure a Salt Master to use a different data store, the
       cache setting needs to be established:

          cache: consul

       The pluggable data cache streamlines using various Salt topologies such as a Multi-Master or Salt Syndics
       configuration by allowing the data stored on the Salt Master about a Salt Minion to be available to other
       Salt Syndics or Salt Masters that a Salt Minion is connected to.

       Additional minion data cache modules can be easily created by modeling the custom data store after one of
       the existing cache modules.

       See cache modules for a current list.

   Configuring the Minion Data Cache
       The  default  localfs  Minion  data  cache module doesn't require any configuration.  External data cache
       modules with external data stores such as Consul require a configuration setting in the master config.

       Here's an example config for Consul:

          consul.host: 127.0.0.1
          consul.port: 8500
          consul.token: None
          consul.scheme: http
          consul.consistency: default
          consul.dc: dc1
          consul.verify: True

          cache: consul

SLOTS

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Changed in version 3000.

       NOTE:
          This functionality is under development and could be changed in the future releases

       Many times it is useful to store the results of a command during the course of an execution.  Salt  Slots
       are  designed  to  allow you to store this information and use it later during the highstate or other job
       execution.

       Slots extend the state syntax and allows you to do things right before the state function is executed. So
       you can make a decision in the last moment right before a state is executed.

   Execution functions
       NOTE:
          Using execution modules return data as a state values is a first  step  of  Slots  development.  Other
          functionality is under development.

       Slots allow you to use the return from a remote-execution function as an argument value in states.

       Slot syntax looks close to the simple python function call.

          __slot__:salt:<module>.<function>(<args>, ..., <kwargs...>, ...)

       For the 3000 release, this syntax has been updated to support parsing functions which return dictionaries
       and for appending text to the slot result.

          __slot__:salt:<module>.<function>(<args>..., <kwargs...>, ...).dictionary ~ append

       There  are  some  specifics  in  the  syntax  coming  from the execution functions nature and a desire to
       simplify the user experience. First one is that you don't need to quote the strings passed to  the  slots
       functions. The second one is that all arguments handled as strings.

       Here is a simple example:

          copy-some-file:
            file.copy:
              - name: __slot__:salt:test.echo(text=/tmp/some_file)
              - source: __slot__:salt:test.echo(/etc/hosts)

       This  will execute the test.echo execution functions right before calling the state. The functions in the
       example will return /tmp/some_file and /etc/hosts strings that will  be  used  as  a  target  and  source
       arguments in the state function file.copy.

       Here is an example of result parsing and appending:

          file-in-user-home:
            file.copy:
              - name: __slot__:salt:user.info(someuser).home ~ /subdirectory
              - source: salt://somefile

WINDOWS

       This  section  contains  details on the Windows Package Manager, and specific information you need to use
       Salt on Windows.

   Windows Package Manager
   Introduction
       The Windows Package Manager provides a software repository and a  package  manager  similar  to  what  is
       provided  by  yum  and  apt  on  Linux.  This tool enables the installation of software on remote Windows
       systems.

       The repository contains a collection of software definition  files.  A  software  definition  file  is  a
       YAML/JINJA  file  with  an  .sls  file extension. It contains all the information Salt needs to install a
       software package on a Windows  system,  including  the  download  location  of  the  installer,  required
       command-line switches for silent install, etc.

       Software definition files can be hosted in one or more Git repositories. The default repository is hosted
       on  GitHub  by  SaltStack.  It  is  maintained  by SaltStack and the Salt community and contains software
       definition files for many common Windows packages.  Anyone is welcome to submit a pull  request  to  this
       repo to add new software definitions. The default github repository is:

       • salt-winrepo-ng

       The Windows Package Manager is used the same way as other package managers Salt is aware of. For example:

       • the pkg.installed and similar states work on Windows.

       • the pkg.install and similar module functions work on Windows.

       High level differences to yum and apt are:

       • The repository metadata (SLS files) can be managed through either Salt or git

       • Packages  can  be  downloaded  from within the Salt repository, a git repository or from HTTP(S) or FTP
         URLs

       • No dependencies are managed. Dependencies between packages need to be managed manually

   Requirements
       If using the a software definition files hosted on a Git repo, the following libraries are required:

       • GitPython 0.3 or later

         or

       • pygit2 0.20.3 with libgit 0.20.0 or later

   Quick Start
       You can get up and running with winrepo pretty quickly just using the defaults.  Assuming no  changes  to
       the default configuration (ie, file_roots) run the following commands on the master:

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt * pkg.refresh_db
          salt * pkg.install firefox_x64

       On a masterless minion run the following:

          salt-call --local winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt-call --local pkg.refresh_db
          salt-call --local pkg.install firefox_x64

       These  commands  clone  the  default  winrepo from github, update the winrepo database on the minion, and
       install the latest version of Firefox.

   Configuration
       The Github repository (winrepo) is synced to the file_roots in a location specified by the winrepo_dir_ng
       setting in the config. The default value of winrepo_dir_ng is as follows:

       • Linux master: /srv/salt/win/repo-ng (salt://win/repo-ng)

       • Masterless minion: C:\salt\srv\salt\win\repo-ng (salt://win/repo-ng)

   Master Configuration
       The following are settings are available for configuring the winrepo on the master:

       • winrepo_dirwinrepo_dir_ngwinrepo_remoteswinrepo_remotes_ngwinrepo_branchwinrepo_providerwinrepo_ssl_verify

       See here for detailed information on all master config options for winrepo.

   winrepo_dir
       winrepo_dir (str)

       This setting is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to the location  in
       the file_roots where the winrepo files are kept.  The default is: /srv/salt/win/repo

   winrepo_dir_ng
       winrepo_dir_ng (str)

       The location in the file_roots where the winrepo files are kept. The default is /srv/salt/win/repo-ng.

       WARNING:
          You can change the location of the winrepo directory. However, it must always be set to a path that is
          inside the file_roots.  Otherwise the software definition files will be unreachable by the minion.

       IMPORTANT:
          A  common  mistake  is  to  change  the  file_roots  setting and fail to update the winrepo_dir_ng and
          winrepo_dir settings so that they are inside the file_roots

   winrepo_remotes
       winrepo_remotes (list)

       This setting is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to the  legacy  git
       repo. The default is a list containing a single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo

       The legacy repo can be disabled by setting it to an empty list in the master config.

          winrepo_remotes: []

   winrepo_remotes_ng
       winrepo_remotes_ng (list)

       This setting tells the winrepo.upgate_git_repos command where the next generation winrepo is hosted. This
       a list of URLs to multiple git repos. The default is a list containing a single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng

   winrepo_refspecs
       winrepo_refspecs (list)

       Specify     what     references    to    fetch    from    remote    repositories.    The    default    is
       ['+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*', '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*']

   winrepo_branch
       winrepo_branch (str)

       The branch of the git repo to checkout. The default is master

   winrepo_provider
       winrepo_provider (str)

       The provider to be used for winrepo. Default is pygit2. Falls  back  to  gitpython  when  pygit2  is  not
       available

   winrepo_ssl_verify
       winrepo_ssl_verify (bool)

       Ignore SSL certificate errors when contacting remote repository. Default is False

   Master Configuration (pygit2)
       The following configuration options only apply when the winrepo_provider option is set to pygit2.

       • winrepo_insecure_authwinrepo_passphrasewinrepo_passwordwinrepo_privkeywinrepo_pubkeywinrepo_user

   winrepo_insecure_auth
       winrepo_insecure_auth (bool)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Whether or not to allow insecure auth.  Default is False

   winrepo_passphrase
       winrepo_passphrase (str)

       Used  only  with  pygit2  provider.  Used  when  the SSH key being used to authenticate is protected by a
       passphrase. Default is ''

   winrepo_privkey
       winrepo_privkey (str)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_pubkey to authenticate to SSH remotes. Default is ''

   winrepo_pubkey
       winrepo_pubkey (str)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_privkey to authenticate to SSH remotes. Default is ''

   winrepo_user
       winrepo_user (str)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_password to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.  Default  is
       ''

   winrepo_password
       winrepo_password (str)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_user to authenticate to HTTPS remotes. Default is ''

   Minion Configuration
       Refreshing  the  package  definitions  can  take  some  time, these options were introduced to allow more
       control of when it occurs. These settings apply to all minions whether in masterless mode or not.

       • winrepo_cache_expire_maxwinrepo_cache_expire_minwinrepo_cachefilewinrepo_source_dir

   winrepo_cache_expire_max
       winrepo_cache_expire_max (int)

       Sets the maximum age in seconds of the winrepo metadata file to avoid it becoming stale. If the  metadata
       file  is  older  than  this  setting  it  will trigger a pkg.refresh_db on the next run of any pkg module
       function that requires the metadata file. Default is 604800 (1 week).

       Software package  definitions  are  automatically  refreshed  if  stale  after  winrepo_cache_expire_max.
       Running  a  highstate normal forces the refresh of the package definition and generation of the metadata,
       unless the metadata is younger than winrepo_cache_expire_max.

   winrepo_cache_expire_min
       winrepo_cache_expire_min (int)

       Sets the minimum age in seconds of the winrepo metadata file  to  avoid  refreshing  too  often.  If  the
       metadata file is older than this setting the metadata will be refreshed unless you pass refresh: False in
       the state. Default is 1800 (30 min).

   winrepo_cachefile
       winrepo_cachefile (str)

       The  file  name  of  the winrepo cache file. The file is placed at the root of winrepo_dir_ng. Default is
       winrepo.p.

   winrepo_source_dir
       winrepo_source_dir (str)

       The location of the .sls files on the Salt file server. This allows  for  using  different  environments.
       Default is salt://win/repo-ng/.

       WARNING:
          If  the  default  for  winrepo_dir_ng is changed, this setting may need to changed on each minion. The
          default  setting  for   winrepo_dir_ng   is   /srv/salt/win/repo-ng.   If   that   were   changed   to
          /srv/salt/new/repo-ng then the winrepo_source_dir would need to be changed to salt://new/repo-ng

   Masterless Minion Configuration
       The following are settings are available for configuring the winrepo on a masterless minion:

       • winrepo_dirwinrepo_dir_ngwinrepo_remoteswinrepo_remotes_ng

       See here for detailed information on all minion config options for winrepo.

   winrepo_dir
       winrepo_dir (str)

       This  setting is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to the location in
       the file_roots where the winrepo files are kept.  The default is: C:\salt\srv\salt\win\repo

   winrepo_dir_ng
       winrepo_dir_ng (str)

       The   location   in   the   file_roots   where   the   winrepo   files   are   kept.   The   default   is
       ``C:\salt\srv\salt\win\repo-ng.

       WARNING:
          You can change the location of the winrepo directory. However, it must always be set to a path that is
          inside the file_roots.  Otherwise the software definition files will be unreachable by the minion.

       IMPORTANT:
          A  common  mistake  is  to  change  the  file_roots  setting and fail to update the winrepo_dir_ng and
          winrepo_dir settings so  that  they  are  inside  the  file_roots.  You  might  also  want  to  verify
          winrepo_source_dir on the minion as well.

   winrepo_remotes
       winrepo_remotes (list)

       This  setting  is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to the legacy git
       repo. The default is a list containing a single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo

       The legacy repo can be disabled by setting it to an empty list in the minion config.

          winrepo_remotes: []

   winrepo_remotes_ng
       winrepo_remotes_ng (list)

       This setting tells the winrepo.upgate_git_repos command where the next generation winrepo is hosted. This
       a list of URLs to multiple git repos. The default is a list containing a single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng

   Initialization
   Populate the Local Repository
       The SLS files used to install Windows packages  are  not  distributed  by  default  with  Salt.  Use  the
       winrepo.update_git_repos  runner initialize the repository in the location specified by winrepo_dir_ng in
       the master config. This will pull the software definition files down from the git repository.

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos

       If running a minion in masterless mode, the same command can be run using salt-call. The repository  will
       be initialized in the location specified by winrepo_dir_ng in the minion config.

          salt-call --local winrepo.update_git_repos

       These  commands  will  also  sync  down  the  legacy repo to maintain backwards compatibility with legacy
       minions. See Legacy Minions

       The legacy repo can be disabled by setting it to an empty list in the master or minion config.

          winrepo_remotes: []

   Generate the Metadata File (Legacy)
       This step is only required if you are supporting legacy minions. In current usage the  metadata  file  is
       generated  on  the  minion  in the next step, Update the Minion Database. For legacy minions the metadata
       file is generated on the master using the winrepo.genrepo runner.

          salt-run winrepo.genrepo

   Update the Minion Database
       Run pkg.refresh_db on each of your Windows minions to synchronize the package repository  to  the  minion
       and build the package database.

          # From the master
          salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.refresh_db

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.refresh_db

       The  above command returns the following summary denoting the number of packages that succeeded or failed
       to compile:

          local:
              ----------
              failed:
                  0
              success:
                  301
              total:
                  301

       NOTE:
          This command can take a few minutes to complete as the software definition files  are  copied  to  the
          minion and the database is generated.

       NOTE:
          Use  pkg.refresh_db  when  developing  new  Windows  package  definitions  to  check for errors in the
          definitions against one or more Windows minions.

   Usage
       After completing the configuration and initialization steps, you are ready to  manage  software  on  your
       Windows minions.

       NOTE:
          The  following  example commands can be run from the master using salt or on a masterless minion using
          salt-call

   List Installed Packages
       You can get a list of packages installed on the system using pkg.list_pkgs.

          # From the master
          salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.list_pkgs

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.list_pkgs

       This will return all software installed on the system whether it is managed  by  Salt  or  not  as  shown
       below:

          local:
              ----------
              Frhed 1.6.0:
                  1.6.0
              GNU Privacy Guard:
                  2.2.16
              Gpg4win (3.1.9):
                  3.1.9
              git:
                  2.17.1.2
              nsis:
                  3.03
              python3_x64:
                  3.7.4150.0
              salt-minion-py3:
                  2019.2.3

       You  can  tell by how the software name is displayed which software is managed by Salt and which software
       is not. When Salt finds a match in the winrepo database it displays the short  name  as  defined  in  the
       software  definition file. It is usually a single-word, lower-case name. All other software names will be
       displayed with the full name as they are shown in Add/Remove Programs. So, in the return above,  you  can
       see  that  Git  (git), Nullsoft Installer (nsis), Python 3.7 (python3_x64) and Salt (salt-minion-py3) all
       have a corresponding software definition file. The others do not.

   List Available Versions
       You can query the available version of a package using pkg.list_available and passing  the  name  of  the
       software:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.list_available firefox_x64

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.list_available firefox_x64

       The above command will return the following:

          winminion:
              - 69.0
              - 69.0.1
              - 69.0.2
              - 69.0.3
              - 70.0
              - 70.0.1
              - 71.0
              - 72.0
              - 72.0.1
              - 72.0.2
              - 73.0
              - 73.0.1
              - 74.0

       As  you  can  see,  there  are  many  versions of Firefox available for installation.  You can refer to a
       software package by its name or its full_name surrounded by quotes.

       NOTE:
          From a Linux master it is OK to use single-quotes. However, the cmd shell on Windows requires  you  to
          use  double-quotes  when  wrapping  strings that may contain spaces. Powershell seems to accept either
          one.

   Install a Package
       You can install a package using pkg.install:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.install 'firefox_x64'

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.install "firefox_x64"

       The above will install the latest version of Firefox.

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.install 'firefox_x64' version=74.0

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.install "firefox_x64" version=74.0

       The above will install version 74.0 of Firefox.

       If a different version of the package is already installed it will be replaced with the  version  in  the
       winrepo (only if the package itself supports live updating).

       You can also specify the full name:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.install 'Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1 (x86 en-US)'

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.install "Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1 (x86 en-US)"

   Remove a Package
       You can uninstall a package using pkg.remove:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.remove firefox_x64

          # From the minion in masterless mode

       A  software  definition  file is a YAML/JINJA2 file that contains all the information needed to install a
       piece of software using Salt. It defines information about the package to  include  version,  full  name,
       flags  required  for  the  installer and uninstaller, whether or not to use the Windows task scheduler to
       install the package, where to download the installation package, etc.

   Directory Structure and Naming
       The files are stored in the location  designated  by  the  winrepo_dir_ng  setting.  All  files  in  this
       directory  that  have  a  .sls  file  extension  are  considered software definition files. The files are
       evaluated to create the metadata file on the minion.

       You can maintain standalone software definition files that point to software on other servers or  on  the
       internet.  In this case the file name would be the short name of the software with the .sls extension, ie
       firefox.sls.

       You can also store the binaries for your software together with their software definition files in  their
       own  directory.  In  this  scenario,  the directory name would be the short name for the software and the
       software definition file would be inside that directory and named init.sls.

       Look at the following example directory structure on a Linux master assuming default config settings:

          srv/
          |---salt/
          |   |---win/
          |   |   |---repo-ng/
          |   |   |   |---custom_defs/
          |   |   |   |   |---ms_office_2013_x64/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---access.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---excel.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---outlook.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---powerpoint.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---word.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---init.sls
          |   |   |   |   |   |---setup.dll
          |   |   |   |   |   |---setup.exe
          |   |   |   |   |---openssl.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---zoom.sls
          |   |   |   |---salt-winrepo-ng/
          |   |   |   |   |---auditbeat/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---init.sls
          |   |   |   |   |   |---install.cmd
          |   |   |   |   |   |---install.ps1
          |   |   |   |   |   |---remove.cmd
          |   |   |   |   |---gpg4win/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---init.sls
          |   |   |   |   |   |---silent.ini
          |   |   |   |   |---7zip.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---adobereader.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---audacity.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---ccleaner.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---chrome.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---firefox.sls

       In the above directory structure, the user has created the custom_defs directory in which to store  their
       custom software definition files. In that directory you see a folder for MS Office 2013 that contains all
       the  installer  files along with a software definition file named init.sls. The user has also created two
       more standalone software definition files; openssl.sls and zoom.sls.

       The salt-winrepo-ng directory is created by the winrepo.update_git_repos command.  This  folder  contains
       the clone of the git repo designated by the winrepo_remotes_ng config setting.

       WARNING:
          It is recommended that the user not modify the files in the salt-winrepo-ng directory as it will break
          future runs of winrepo.update_git_repos.

       WARNING:
          It  is recommended that the user not place any custom software definition files in the salt-winrepo-ng
          directory. The  winrepo.update_git_repos  command  wipes  out  the  contents  of  the  salt-winrepo-ng
          directory each time it is run. Any extra files stored there will be lost.

   Writing Software Definition Files
       A basic software definition file is really easy to write if you already know some basic things about your
       software:

       • The full name as shown in Add/Remove Programs

       • The exact version number as shown in Add/Remove Programs

       • How to install your software silently from the command line

       The  software  definition  file itself is just a data structure written in YAML.  The top level item is a
       short name that Salt will use to reference the software.  There can be only one short name  in  the  file
       and  it  must  be  unique across all software definition files in the repo. This is the name that will be
       used to install/remove the software. It is also the name that will appear when Salt finds a match in  the
       repo when running pkg.list_pkgs.

       The  next  indentation  level  is the version number. There can be many of these, but they must be unique
       within the file. This is also displayed in pkg.list_pkgs.

       The last indentation level contains  the  information  Salt  needs  to  actually  install  the  software.
       Available parameters are:

       • full_name : The full name as displayed in Add/Remove Programs

       • installer : The location of the installer binary

       • install_flags : The flags required to install silently

       • uninstaller : The location of the uninstaller binary

       • uninstall_flags : The flags required to uninstall silently

       • msiexec : Use msiexec to install this package

       • allusers : If this is an MSI, install to all users

       • cache_dir : Cache the entire directory in the installer URL (salt://)

       • cache_file : Cache a single file in the installer URL (salt://)

       • use_scheduler : Launch the installer using the task scheduler

       • source_hash : The hash sum for the installer

       Usage  of  these parameters is demonstrated in the following examples and discussed in more detail below.
       To understand these examples you'll need a basic understanding of Jinja. The following  links  have  some
       basic tips and best practices for working with Jinja in Salt:

       Understanding Jinja

       Jinja

   Example: Basic
       Take a look at this basic, pure YAML example for a software definition file for Firefox:

          firefox_x64:
            '74.0':
              full_name: Mozilla Firefox 74.0 (x64 en-US)
              installer: 'https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/74.0/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2074.0.exe'
              install_flags: '/S'
              uninstaller: '%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Mozilla Firefox/uninstall/helper.exe'
              uninstall_flags: '/S'
            '73.0.1':
              full_name: Mozilla Firefox 73.0.1 (x64 en-US)
              installer: 'https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/73.0.1/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2073.0.1.exe'
              install_flags: '/S'
              uninstaller: '%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Mozilla Firefox/uninstall/helper.exe'
              uninstall_flags: '/S'

       You  can see the first item is the short name for the software, in this case firefox_x64. It is the first
       line in the definition. The next line is indented two spaces and contains the software version. The lines
       following the version are indented two more spaces and contain all the information needed to install  the
       Firefox package.

       IMPORTANT:
          The  package  name  must  be  unique  to  all other packages in the software repository. The full_name
          combined with the version must also be unique.   They  must  also  match  exactly  what  is  shown  in
          Add/Remove Programs (appwiz.cpl).

       IMPORTANT:
          The  version  number must be enclosed in quotes, otherwise the YAML parser will remove trailing zeros.
          For example, 74.0 will just become 74.

       As you can see in the example above, a software definition file can define multiple versions for the same
       piece of software. These are denoted by putting the next version number at the same indentation level  as
       the first with its software definition information indented below it.

   Example: Jinja
       When  there are tens or hundreds of versions available for a piece of software definition file can become
       quite large. This is a scenario where Jinja can be helpful. Consider the  following  software  definition
       file for Firefox using Jinja:

          {%- set lang = salt['config.get']('firefox:pkg:lang', 'en-US') %}

          firefox_x64:
            {% for version in ['74.0',
                               '73.0.1', '73.0',
                               '72.0.2', '72.0.1', '72.0',
                               '71.0', '70.0.1', '70.0',
                               '69.0.3', '69.0.2', '69.0.1'] %}
            '{{ version }}':
              full_name: 'Mozilla Firefox {{ version }} (x64 {{ lang }})'
              installer: 'https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/{{ version }}/win64/{{ lang }}/Firefox%20Setup%20{{ version }}.exe'
              install_flags: '/S'
              uninstaller: '%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe'
              uninstall_flags: '/S'
            {% endfor %}

       In  this  example  we  are  able  to  generate  a software definition file that defines how to install 12
       versions of Firefox. We use Jinja to create a list of available versions. That list  is  in  a  for  loop
       where  each  version  is placed in the version variable. The version is inserted everywhere there is a {{
       version }} marker inside the for loop.

       You'll notice that there is a single variable (lang) defined at  the  top  of  the  software  definition.
       Because  these  files  are  going  through  the  Salt renderer many Salt modules are exposed via the salt
       keyword. In this case it is calling the config.get function to get a language setting that can be  placed
       in the minion config. If it is not there, it defaults to en-US.

   Example: Latest
       There  are  some  software  vendors that do not provide access to all versions of their software. Instead
       they provide a single URL to what is always the latest version. In some cases the software  keeps  itself
       up to date. One example of this is the Google Chrome web browser.

       Chrome

       To handle situations such as these, set the version to latest. Here's an example:

          chrome:
            latest:
              full_name: 'Google Chrome'
              installer: 'https://dl.google.com/edgedl/chrome/install/GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi'
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: 'https://dl.google.com/edgedl/chrome/install/GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True

       The  above example shows us two things. First it demonstrates the usage of latest as the version. In this
       case Salt will install the version of Chrome at the URL and report that version.

       The second thing to note is that this is installing software using an MSI. You can see  that  msiexec  is
       set to True.

   Example: MSI Patch
       When  the  msiexec  parameter  is  set  to  True it uses the /i option for installs and the /x option for
       uninstalls. This is problematic when trying to install an MSI patch which requires  the  /p  option.  You
       can't  combine  the /i and /p options. So how do you apply a patch to installed software in winrepo using
       an .msp file?

       One wiley contributor came up with the following solution to this problem by using the  %cd%  environment
       variable. Consider the following software definition file:

          MyApp:
            '1.0':
              full_name: MyApp
              installer: 'salt://win/repo-ng/MyApp/MyApp.1.0.msi'
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: '{B5B5868F-23BA-297A-917D-0DF345TF5764}'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True
            '1.1':
              full_name: MyApp
              installer: 'salt://win/repo-ng/MyApp/MyApp.1.0.msi'
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart /update "%cd%\\MyApp.1.1.msp" '
              uninstaller: '{B5B5868F-23BA-297A-917D-0DF345TF5764}'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True
              cache_file: salt://win/repo/MyApp/MyApp.1.1.msp

       There  are a few things to note about this software definition file. First, is the solution we are trying
       to solve, that of applying a patch. Version 1.0 just installs the application using the 1.0  MSI  defined
       in the installer parameter. There is nothing special in the install_flags and nothing is cached.

       Version 1.1 uses the same installer, but uses the cache_file option to specify a single file to cache. In
       order for this to work the MSP file needs to be in the same directory as the MSI file on the file_roots.

       The  final  step  to  getting  this  to  work  is to add the additional /update flag to the install_flags
       parameter. Add the path to the MSP file using the %cd% environment variable. %cd% resolves to the current
       working directory which is the location in the minion cache where the installer file is cached.

       See issue #32780 for more details.

       This same approach could be used for applying MST files for MSIs and answer files for other types of .exe
       based installers.

   Parameters
       These are the parameters that can be used to generate a software definition file.  These  parameters  are
       all placed under the version in the software definition file:

       Example usage can be found on the github repo

   full_name (str)
       This  is the full name for the software as shown in "Programs and Features" in the control panel. You can
       also get this information by installing the package manually and then running  pkg.list_pkgs.  Here's  an
       example of the output from pkg.list_pkgs:

          salt 'test-2008' pkg.list_pkgs
          test-2008
              ----------
              7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition):
                  9.20.00.0
              Mozilla Firefox 74.0 (x64 en-US)
                  74.0
              Mozilla Maintenance Service:
                  74.0
              salt-minion-py3:
                  3001

       Notice  the Full Name for Firefox: Mozilla Firefox 74.0 (x64 en-US). That's exactly what should be in the
       full_name parameter in the software definition file.

       If any of the software installed on the machine matches the full name defined  in  one  of  the  software
       definition  files  in  the  repository  the  package  name  will be returned. The example below shows the
       pkg.list_pkgs for a machine that has Mozilla Firefox 74.0 installed and a software  definition  for  that
       version of Firefox.

          test-2008:
              ----------
              7zip:
                  9.20.00.0
              Mozilla Maintenance Service:
                  74.0
              firefox_x64:
                  74.0
              salt-minion-py3:
                  3001

       IMPORTANT:
          The  version  number  and  full_name  need  to match the output from pkg.list_pkgs exactly so that the
          installation status can be verified by the state system.

       NOTE:
          It is still possible to successfully install packages using pkg.install, even if the full_name or  the
          version number don't match exactly. The module will complete successfully, but continue to display the
          full  name  in  pkg.list_pkgs.  If  this is happening, verify that the full_name and the version match
          exactly what is displayed in Add/Remove Programs.

       TIP:
          To force Salt to display the full name when there's already an existing package definition file on the
          system,  you  can  pass  a  bogus  saltenv  parameter  to   the   command   like   so:   pkg.list_pkgs
          saltenv=NotARealEnv

       TIP:
          It's  important  use pkg.refresh_db to check for errors and ensure the latest package definition is on
          any minion you're testing new definitions on.

   installer (str)
       This is the path to the binary (.exe, .msi) that will install the package. This can be a local path or  a
       URL. If it is a URL or a Salt path (salt://), the package will be cached locally and then executed. If it
       is a path to a file on disk or a file share, it will be executed directly.

       NOTE:
          When  storing  software  in the same location as the winrepo it is usually best practice to place each
          installer in its own directory rather than in the root of winrepo.

          Best practice is to create a sub folder named after the package. That folder will contain the software
          definition file named init.sls. The binary installer should be stored in that  directory  as  well  if
          you're hosting those files on the file_roots.

          pkg.refresh_db will process all .sls files in all sub directories in the winrepo_dir_ng directory.

   install_flags (str)
       This  setting  contains  any  flags  that  need to be passed to the installer to make it perform a silent
       install. These can often be found by adding /? or /h when running the installer from the command-line.  A
       great resource for finding these silent install flags is the WPKG project wiki:

       WARNING:
          Salt  will  appear  to  hang  if  the  installer is expecting user input. So it is imperative that the
          software have the ability to install silently.

   uninstaller (str)
       This is the path to the program used to uninstall this software. This can be the path to the same exe  or
       msi  used to install the software. Exe uninstallers are pretty straight forward. MSIs, on the other hand,
       can be handled a couple different ways. You can use the GUID for the software to uninstall or you can use
       the same MSI used to install the software.

       You can usually find uninstall information in the registry:

       • Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

       • Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

       Here's an example using the GUID to uninstall software.

          7zip:
            '9.20.00.0':
              full_name: 7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)
              installer: salt://win/repo-ng/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: '{23170F69-40C1-2702-0920-000001000000}'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True

       Here's an example using the same MSI used to install the software:

          7zip:
            '9.20.00.0':
              full_name: 7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)
              installer: salt://win/repo-ng/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: salt://win/repo-ng/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True

   uninstall_flags (str)
       This setting contains any flags that need to be passed to the uninstaller to make  it  perform  a  silent
       uninstall.  These  can  often  be  found  by  adding  /?  or  /h  when  running  the uninstaller from the
       command-line. A great resource for finding these silent install flags the WPKG project wiki:

       WARNING:
          Salt will appear to hang if the uninstaller is expecting user input. So  it  is  imperative  that  the
          software have the ability to uninstall silently.

   msiexec (bool, str)
       This  tells  Salt  to use msiexec /i to install the package and msiexec /x to uninstall. This is for .msi
       installations only.

       Possible options are:

       • True

       • False (default)

       • the path to msiexec.exe on your system

              msiexec: 'C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe'

   allusers (bool)
       This parameter is specific to .msi installations. It tells msiexec to install the software for all users.
       The default is True.

   cache_dir (bool)
       This setting requires the software to be stored on the file_roots and only applies  to  URLs  that  begin
       with  salt://.  If True the entire directory where the installer resides will be recursively cached. This
       is useful for installers that depend on other files in the same directory for installation.

       WARNING:
          Be aware that all files and directories in the same location as the installer file will be copied down
          to  the  minion.  If  you  place  your   software   definition   file   in   the   root   of   winrepo
          (/srv/salt/win/repo-ng)  and it contains cache_dir: True the entire contents of winrepo will be cached
          to the minion. Therefore, it is best practice to place your installer files in a subdirectory if  they
          are to be stored in winrepo.

       Here's an example using cache_dir:

          sqlexpress:
            '12.0.2000.8':
              full_name: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Setup (English)
              installer: 'salt://win/repo/sqlexpress/setup.exe'
              install_flags: '/ACTION=install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /Q'
              cache_dir: True

   cache_file (str)
       This  setting  requires  the file to be stored on the file_roots and only applies to URLs that begin with
       salt://. It indicates a single file to copy down for use with the installer. It is  copied  to  the  same
       location  as the installer. Use this over cache_dir if there are many files in the directory and you only
       need a specific file and don't want to cache additional files that may reside in the installer directory.

   use_scheduler (bool)
       If set to True, Windows will use the task scheduler to run the installation.  A  one-time  task  will  be
       created  in  the task scheduler and launched. The return to the minion will be that the task was launched
       successfully, not that the software was installed successfully.

       NOTE:
          This is used by the software definition for Salt itself. The first thing the Salt  installer  does  is
          kill  the  Salt  service,  which then kills all child processes. If the Salt installer is launched via
          Salt, then the installer itself is killed leaving Salt on the machine but not running. Use of the task
          scheduler allows an external process to launch the Salt installation so its  processes  aren't  killed
          when the Salt service is stopped.

   source_hash (str)
       This  tells  Salt  to  compare a hash sum of the installer to the provided hash sum before execution. The
       value can be formatted as <hash_algorithm>=<hash_sum>, or it can be a URI to a file containing  the  hash
       sum.

       For a list of supported algorithms, see the hashlib documentation.

       Here's an example using source_hash:

          messageanalyzer:
            '4.0.7551.0':
              full_name: 'Microsoft Message Analyzer'
              installer: 'salt://win/repo/messageanalyzer/MessageAnalyzer64.msi'
              install_flags: '/quiet /norestart'
              uninstaller: '{1CC02C23-8FCD-487E-860C-311EC0A0C933}'
              uninstall_flags: '/quiet /norestart'
              msiexec: True
              source_hash: 'sha1=62875ff451f13b10a8ff988f2943e76a4735d3d4'

   Not Implemented
       The following parameters are often seen in the software definition files hosted on the Git repo. However,
       they are not implemented and have no effect on the installation process.

       param bool reboot
              Not implemented

       param str locale
              Not implemented

   Managing Windows Software on a Standalone Windows Minion
       The  Windows  Software Repository functions similarly in a standalone environment, with a few differences
       in the configuration.

       To replace the winrepo runner that is used on the Salt master, an execution module exists to provide  the
       same functionality to standalone minions. The functions are named the same as the ones in the runner, and
       are used in the same way; the only difference is that salt-call is used instead of salt-run:

          salt-call winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt-call pkg.refresh_db

       After executing the previous commands the repository on the standalone system is ready for use.

   Troubleshooting
   My software installs correctly but pkg.installed says it failed
       If  you  have  a package that seems to install properly, but Salt reports a failure then it is likely you
       have a version or full_name mismatch.

       Check the exact full_name and version as shown in Add/Remove Programs (appwiz.cpl). Use pkg.list_pkgs  to
       check  that  the full_name and version exactly match what is installed. Make sure the software definition
       file has the exact value for full_name and that the version matches exactly.

       Also, make sure the version is wrapped in single quotes in the software definition file.

   Changes to sls files not being picked up
       You may have recently updated some of the software  definition  files  on  the  repo.   Ensure  you  have
       refreshed the database on the minion.

          salt winminion pkg.refresh_db

   How Success and Failure are Reported by pkg.installed
       The install state/module function of the Windows package manager works roughly as follows:

       1. Execute pkg.list_pkgs to get a list of software currently on the machine

       2. Compare the requested version with the installed version

       3. If versions are the same, report no changes needed

       4. Install the software as described in the software definition file

       5. Execute pkg.list_pkgs to get a new list of software currently on the machine

       6. Compare the requested version with the new installed version

       7. If versions are the same, report success

       8. If versions are different, report failure

   Winrepo Upgrade Issues
       To  minimize potential issues, it is a good idea to remove any winrepo git repositories that were checked
       out by the legacy (pre-2015.8.0) winrepo code when  upgrading  the  master  to  2015.8.0  or  later.  Run
       winrepo.update_git_repos to clone them anew after the master is started.

   pygit2/GitPython Support for Maintaining Git Repos
       The  winrepo.update_git_repos runner now makes use of the same underlying code used by the Git Fileserver
       Backend and Git External Pillar to maintain and update  its  local  clones  of  git  repositories.  If  a
       compatible  version  of either pygit2 (0.20.3 and later) or GitPython (0.3.0 or later) is installed, Salt
       will use it instead of the old method (which invokes the git.latest state).

       NOTE:
          If compatible versions of both pygit2 and GitPython are installed, then Salt will  prefer  pygit2.  To
          override this behavior use the winrepo_provider configuration parameter:

              winrepo_provider: gitpython

          The winrepo execution module (discussed above in the Managing Windows Software on a Standalone Windows
          Minion  section) does not yet officially support the new pygit2/GitPython functionality, but if either
          pygit2 or GitPython is installed into Salt's bundled Python then it should work. However, it should be
          considered experimental at this time.

   Accessing Authenticated Git Repos (pygit2)
       Support for pygit2 added the ability to access authenticated  git  repositories  and  to  set  per-remote
       config settings. An example of this would be the following:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git
            - git@github.com:myuser/myrepo.git:
              - pubkey: /path/to/key.pub
              - privkey: /path/to/key
              - passphrase: myaw3s0m3pa$$phr4$3
            - https://github.com/myuser/privaterepo.git:
              - user: mygithubuser
              - password: CorrectHorseBatteryStaple

       NOTE:
          Per-remote configuration settings work in the same fashion as they do in gitfs, with global parameters
          being  overridden by their per-remote counterparts. For instance, setting winrepo_passphrase would set
          a global passphrase for winrepo that would apply to all SSH-based  remotes,  unless  overridden  by  a
          passphrase per-remote parameter.

          See here for more a more in-depth explanation of how per-remote configuration works in gitfs. The same
          principles apply to winrepo.

   Maintaining Git Repos
       A  clean  argument has been added to the winrepo.update_git_repos runner. When clean is True it will tell
       the runner to dispose of directories under the winrepo_dir_ng/winrepo_dir_ng  which  are  not  explicitly
       configured.  This  prevents the need to manually remove these directories when a repo is removed from the
       config file. To clean these old directories, just pass clean=True:

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos clean=True

       If a mix of git and non-git Windows Repo definition files are being used, then this should not  be  used,
       as it will remove the directories containing non-git definitions.

   Name Collisions Between Repos
       Collisions  between  repo names are now detected. The winrepo.update_git_repos runner will not proceed if
       any are detected. Consider the following configuration:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://foo.com/bar/baz.git
            - https://mydomain.tld/baz.git
            - https://github.com/foobar/baz

       The winrepo.update_git_repos runner will refuse to update repos here, as all three of these  repos  would
       be checked out to the same directory. To work around this, a per-remote parameter called name can be used
       to resolve these conflicts:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://foo.com/bar/baz.git
            - https://mydomain.tld/baz.git:
              - name: baz_junior
            - https://github.com/foobar/baz:
              - name: baz_the_third

   Legacy Minions
       The  Windows  Package Manager was upgraded with breaking changes starting with Salt 2015.8.0. To maintain
       backwards compatibility Salt continues to support older minions.

       The breaking change was to generate the winrepo database on  the  minion  instead  of  the  master.  This
       allowed  for  the  use  of  Jinja in the software definition files. It enabled the use of pillar, grains,
       execution modules, etc. during compile time. To support this new functionality,  a  next-generation  (ng)
       repo was created.

       See the Changes in Version 2015.8.0 for details.

       On prior versions of Salt, or legacy minions, the winrepo database was generated on the master and pushed
       down  to  the minions. Any grains exposed at compile time would have been those of the master and not the
       minion.

       The repository for legacy minions is named salt-winrepo and is located at:

       • https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo

   Legacy Configuration
       Winrepo settings were changed with the introduction of the Next Generation (ng) of winrepo.

   Legacy Master Config Options
       There were three options available for a legacy master to configure winrepo.   Unless  you're  running  a
       legacy master as well, you shouldn't need to configure any of these.

       • win_gitreposwin_repowin_repo_mastercachefile

       win_gitrepos: (list)

       A list of URLs to github repos. Default is a list with a single URL:

       • 'https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git'

       win_repo: (str)

       The location on the master to store the winrepo. The default is /srv/salt/win/repo.

       win_repo_mastercachefile:  (str)  The  location  on the master to generate the winrepo database file. The
       default is /srv/salt/win/repo/winrep.p

   Legacy Minion Config Options
       There is only one option available to configure a legacy minion for winrepo.

       • win_repo_cachefile

       win_repo_cachefile: (str)

       The  location  on  the  Salt  file  server  to  obtain  the  winrepo  database  file.  The   default   is
       salt://win/repo/winrepo.p

       NOTE:
          If  the  location  of  the  winrepo.p  file  is  not  in  the  default  location  on  the  master, the
          win_repo_cachefile setting will need to be updated to reflect the proper location on each minion.

   Legacy Quick Start
       You can get up and running with winrepo pretty quickly just using the defaults.  Assuming no  changes  to
       the default configuration (ie, file_roots) run the following commands on the master:

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt-run winrepo.genrepo
          salt * pkg.refresh_db
          salt * pkg.install firefox

       These  commands clone the default winrepo from github, generate the metadata file, push the metadata file
       down to the legacy minion, and install the latest version of Firefox.

   Legacy Initialization
       Initializing the winrepo for a legacy minion is similar to that for a newer minion.  There  is  an  added
       step  in  that  the metadata file needs to be generated on the master prior to refreshing the database on
       the minion.

   Populate the Local Repository
       The SLS files used to install Windows packages are not distributed by default with Salt.  So,  the  first
       step  is  to  clone  the  repo  to  the  master.  Use  the winrepo.update_git_repos runner initialize the
       repository in the location specified by winrepo_dir in the master config. This  will  pull  the  software
       definition files down from the git repository.

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos

   Generate the Metadata File
       The next step is to create the metadata file for the repo (winrepo.p).  The metadata file is generated on
       the master using the winrepo.genrepo runner.

          salt-run winrepo.genrepo

       NOTE:
          You only need to do this if you need to support legacy minions.

   Update the Minion Database
       Run pkg.refresh_db on each of your Windows minions to copy the metadata file down to the minion.

          # From the master
          salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.refresh_db

   Changes in Version 2015.8.0+
       Git  repository  management  for the Windows Software Repository changed in version 2015.8.0, and several
       master/minion config parameters were renamed for consistency.

       For a complete list of the new winrepo config options, see here for master config options, and  here  for
       configuration options for masterless Windows minions.

   pygit2/GitPython Support
       On  the  master,  the  winrepo.update_git_repos  runner  was updated to use either pygit2 or GitPython to
       checkout the git repositories containing repo data. If pygit2 or GitPython is installed, existing winrepo
       git checkouts should be removed after upgrading to 2015.8.0.  Then they should be cloned again by running
       winrepo.update_git_repos.

       If neither GitPython nor pygit2  are  installed,  Salt  will  fall  back  to  pre-existing  behavior  for
       winrepo.update_git_repos, and a warning will be logged in the master log.

       NOTE:
          Standalone Windows minions do not support the new GitPython/pygit2 functionality, and will instead use
          the  git.latest  state  to  keep  repositories  up-to-date. More information on how to use the Windows
          Software Repo on a standalone minion can be found here.

   Config Parameters Renamed
       Many of the legacy winrepo configuration parameters  changed  in  version  2015.8.0  to  make  them  more
       consistent. Below are the parameters which changed for version 2015.8.0:

          next generation repo.

   Windows-specific Behaviour
       Salt  is  capable  of  managing Windows systems, however due to various differences between the operating
       systems, there are some things you need to keep in mind.

       This document will contain any quirks  that  apply  across  Salt  or  generally  across  multiple  module
       functions. Any Windows-specific behavior for particular module functions will be documented in the module
       function  documentation.  Therefore  this document should be read in conjunction with the module function
       documentation.

   Group parameter for files
       Salt was originally written for managing Unix-based systems, and therefore the file module functions were
       designed around that security model. Rather than trying to  shoehorn  that  model  on  to  Windows,  Salt
       ignores these parameters and makes non-applicable module functions unavailable instead.

       One  of  the  commonly ignored parameters is the group parameter for managing files. Under Windows, while
       files do have a 'primary group'  property,  this  is  rarely  used.   It  generally  has  no  bearing  on
       permissions unless intentionally configured and is most commonly used to provide Unix compatibility (e.g.
       Services For Unix, NFS services).

       Because of this, any file module functions that typically require a group, do not under Windows. Attempts
       to  directly  use  file  module  functions  that  operate  on  the  group (e.g. file.chgrp) will return a
       pseudo-value and cause a log message to appear. No group parameters will be acted on.

       If you do want to access and change the 'primary group' property and understand the implications, use the
       file.get_pgid or file.get_pgroup functions or the pgroup parameter on the file.chown module function.

   Dealing with case-insensitive but case-preserving names
       Windows is case-insensitive, but however preserves the case of names and it is this preserved  form  that
       is  returned  from  system functions. This causes some issues with Salt because it assumes case-sensitive
       names. These issues generally occur in the state functions and can cause bizarre looking errors.

       To avoid such issues, always pretend Windows is case-sensitive and use the right  case  for  names,  e.g.
       specify user=Administrator instead of user=administrator.

       Follow issue #11801 for any changes to this behavior.

   Dealing with various username forms
       Salt  does  not  understand  the  various  forms  that  Windows  usernames  can  come  in, e.g. username,
       mydomain\username, username@mydomain.tld can all refer to the same user. In  fact,  Salt  generally  only
       considers the raw username value, i.e.  the username without the domain or host information.

       Using  these  alternative forms will likely confuse Salt and cause odd errors to happen. Use only the raw
       username value in the correct case to avoid problems.

       Follow issue #11801 for any changes to this behavior.

   Specifying the None group
       Each Windows system has built-in _None_ group. This is the default 'primary group' for  files  for  users
       not on a domain environment.

       Unfortunately,  the  word  _None_  has  special  meaning  in  Python  -  it is a special value indicating
       'nothing', similar to null or nil in other languages.

       To specify the None group, it must be specified in quotes, e.g.  ./salt '*'  file.chpgrp  C:\path\to\file
       "'None'".

   Symbolic link loops
       Under  Windows,  if  any  symbolic  link  loops  are detected or if there are too many levels of symlinks
       (defaults to 64), an error is always raised.

       For some functions, this behavior is different to the behavior  on  Unix  platforms.  In  general,  avoid
       symlink loops on either platform.

DEVELOPING SALT

   Overview
       In  its  most  typical  use,  Salt  is  a  software application in which clients, called "minions" can be
       commanded and controlled from a central command server called a "master".

       Commands are normally issued to the minions (via the master) by calling a client  script  simply  called,
       'salt'.

       Salt  features  a  pluggable  transport  system  to  issue commands from a master to minions. The default
       transport is ZeroMQ.

   Salt Client
   Overview
       The salt client is run on the same machine as the Salt Master and communicates with  the  salt-master  to
       issue commands and to receive the results and display them to the user.

       The primary abstraction for the salt client is called 'LocalClient'.

       When LocalClient wants to publish a command to minions, it connects to the master by issuing a request to
       the master's ReqServer (TCP: 4506)

       The  LocalClient  system  listens  to  responses  for  its  requests by listening to the master event bus
       publisher (master_event_pub.ipc).

   Salt Master
   Overview
       The salt-master daemon runs on the designated Salt master and performs functions such  as  authenticating
       minions,  sending,  and  receiving requests from connected minions and sending and receiving requests and
       replies to the 'salt' CLI.

   Moving Pieces
       When a Salt master starts up, a number of processes are started, all of which are called 'salt-master' in
       a process-list but have various role categories.

       Among those categories are:

          • Publisher

          • EventPublisher

          • MWorker

   Publisher
       The Publisher process is responsible for sending commands over  the  designated  transport  to  connected
       minions. The Publisher is bound to the following:

          • TCP: port 4505

          • IPC: publish_pull.ipc

       Each salt minion establishes a connection to the master Publisher.

   EventPublisher
       The EventPublisher publishes master events out to any event listeners. It is bound to the following:

          • IPC: master_event_pull.ipc

          • IPC: master_event_pub.ipc

   MWorker
       Worker processes manage the back-end operations for the Salt Master.

       The  number  of  workers  is  equivalent  to  the  number  of  'worker_threads'  specified  in the master
       configuration and is always at least one.

       Workers are bound to the following:

          • IPC: workers.ipc

   ReqServer
       The Salt request  server  takes  requests  and  distributes  them  to  available  MWorker  processes  for
       processing. It also receives replies back from minions.

       The ReqServer is bound to the following:

              • TCP: 4506

              • IPC: workers.ipc

       Each salt minion establishes a connection to the master ReqServer.

   Job Flow
       The  Salt  master  works by always publishing commands to all connected minions and the minions decide if
       the command is meant for them by checking themselves against the command target.

       The typical lifecycle of a salt job from the perspective of the master might be as follows:

       1.  A command is issued on the CLI. For example, 'salt my_minion test.version'.

       2.  The 'salt' command uses LocalClient to generate a request to the salt master  by  connecting  to  the
           ReqServer on TCP:4506 and issuing the job.

       3.  The salt-master ReqServer sees the request and passes it to an available MWorker over workers.ipc.

       4.  A  worker picks up the request and handles it. First, it checks to ensure that the requested user has
           permissions to issue the command. Then, it sends the publish command to all  connected  minions.  For
           the curious, this happens in ClearFuncs.publish().

       5.  The  worker announces on the master event bus that it is about to publish a job to connected minions.
           This happens by placing  the  event  on  the  master  event  bus  (master_event_pull.ipc)  where  the
           EventPublisher   picks   it   up   and   distributes   it   to   all  connected  event  listeners  on
           master_event_pub.ipc.

       6.  The message to the minions is encrypted and sent to the Publisher via IPC on publish_pull.ipc.

       7.  Connected minions have a TCP session established with the Publisher on TCP port 4505 where they await
           commands. When the Publisher receives the job over publish_pull, it sends the jobs across the wire to
           the minions for processing.

       8.  After the minions receive the request, they decrypt it  and  perform  any  requested  work,  if  they
           determine that they are targeted to do so.

       9.  When the minion is ready to respond, it publishes the result of its job back to the master by sending
           the  encrypted result back to the master on TCP 4506 where it is again picked up by the ReqServer and
           forwarded to an available MWorker for processing. (Again, this happens by passing this message across
           workers.ipc to an available worker.)

       10. When the MWorker receives the job it decrypts it and  fires  an  event  onto  the  master  event  bus
           (master_event_pull.ipc). (Again for the curious, this happens in AESFuncs._return().

       11. The  EventPublisher  sees this event and re-publishes it on the bus to all connected listeners of the
           master event bus (on master_event_pub.ipc). This is where the LocalClient has been waiting, listening
           to the event bus for minion replies. It gathers the job and stores the result.

       12. When all targeted minions have replied or the timeout has been exceeded, the salt client displays the
           results of the job to the user on the CLI.

   Salt Minion
   Overview
       The salt-minion is a single process that sits on machines to be managed by Salt. It can either operate as
       a stand-alone daemon which accepts commands locally via 'salt-call' or it can connect back  to  a  master
       and receive commands remotely.

       When  starting  up, salt minions connect back to a master defined in the minion config file. They connect
       to two ports on the master:

          •

            TCP: 4505
                   This is the connection to the master Publisher. It is on this port that the  minion  receives
                   jobs from the master.

          •

            TCP: 4506
                   This  is the connection to the master ReqServer. It is on this port that the minion sends job
                   results back to the master.

   Event System
       Similar to the master, a salt-minion has its own event system that operates  over  IPC  by  default.  The
       minion event system operates on a push/pull system with IPC files at minion_event_<unique_id>_pub.ipc and
       minion_event_<unique_id>_pull.ipc.

       The astute reader might ask why have an event bus at all with a single-process daemon. The answer is that
       the salt-minion may fork other processes as required to do the work without blocking the main salt-minion
       process  and  this  necessitates  a  mechanism  by which those processes can communicate with each other.
       Secondarily, this provides a bus by which any user with sufficient permissions can read or write  to  the
       bus as a common interface with the salt minion.

   Minion Job Flow
       When  a  salt  minion  starts  up,  it attempts to connect to the Publisher and the ReqServer on the salt
       master. It then attempts to authenticate and once the minion has successfully  authenticated,  it  simply
       listens for jobs.

       Jobs normally come either come from the 'salt-call' script run by a local user on the salt minion or they
       can come directly from a master.

       The job flow on a minion, coming from the master via a 'salt' command is as follows:

       1)  A master publishes a job that is received by a minion as outlined by the master's job flow above.  2)
       The minion is polling its receive socket that's connected to the master Publisher (TCP 4505  on  master).
       When  it  detects  an  incoming message, it picks it up from the socket and decrypts it.  3) A new minion
       process  or  thread  is  created  and  provided  with  the  contents  of  the  decrypted   message.   The
       _thread_return()  method is provided with the contents of the received message.  4) The new minion thread
       is created. The _thread_return() function starts up and actually calls  out  to  the  requested  function
       contained  in  the  job.  5) The requested function runs and returns a result. [Still in thread.]  6) The
       result of the function that's run is encrypted and returned  to  the  master's  ReqServer  (TCP  4506  on
       master).  [Still in thread.]  7) Thread exits. Because the main thread was only blocked for the time that
       it took to initialize the worker thread, many other requests  could  have  been  received  and  processed
       during this time.

   A Note on ClearFuncs vs. AESFuncs
       A  common  source  of  confusion  is  determining when messages are passed in the clear and when they are
       passed using encryption. There are two rules governing this behaviour:

       1) ClearFuncs is used for intra-master communication and  during  the  initial  authentication  handshake
       between a minion and master during the key exchange.  2) AESFuncs is used everywhere else.

   Changelog
       With the addition of SEP 01 the keepachangelog format was introduced into our CHANGELOG.md file. The Salt
       project  is  using  the towncrier tool to manage the CHANGELOG.md file. The reason this tool was added to
       manage the changelog was because we were previously managing the file manually and it  would  cause  many
       merge conflicts. This tool allows us to add changelog entries into separate files and before a release we
       simply need to run towncrier --version=<version> for it to compile the changelog correctly.

   How do I add a changelog entry
       To  add  a  changelog entry you will need to add a file in the changelog directory.  The file name should
       follow the syntax <issue #>.<type>. If it is a security fix then the following syntax  will  need  to  be
       used cve-<cve-number>.security.

       The types are in alignment with keepachangelog:

          removed:
                 any features that have been removed

          deprecated:
                 any features that will soon be removed

          changed:
                 any changes in current existing features

          fixed: any bug fixes

          added: any new features added

          security:
                 any fixes for a cve

       For  example  if  you  are  fixing  a  bug  for  issue  number  #1234 your filename would look like this:
       changelog/1234.fixed. The contents of the file should contain a summary of what you are fixing. If  there
       is a legitimate reason to not include an issue number with a given contribution you can add the PR number
       as the file name (<PR #>.<type>).

       For a security fix your filename would look like this: changelog/cve-2021-25283.security.

       If your PR does not align with any of the types, then you do not need to add a changelog entry.

   How to generate the changelog
       This step is only used when we need to generate the changelog right before releasing.  You should NOT run
       towncrier on your PR, unless you are preparing the final PR to update the changelog before a release.

       You  can  run the towncrier tool directly or you can use nox to help run the command and ensure towncrier
       is installed in a virtual environment. The instructions below will detail both approaches.

       If you want to see what output towncrier will produce before  generating  the  change  log  you  can  run
       towncrier in draft mode:

          towncrier --draft --version=3001

          nox -e 'changelog(draft=True)' -- 3000.1

       Version  will  need  to  be  set to whichever version we are about to release. Once you are confident the
       draft output looks correct you can now generate the changelog by running:

          towncrier --version=3001

          nox -e 'changelog(draft=False)' -- 3000.1

       After this is run towncrier will automatically remove all the files in the changelog directory.

   Contributing
       So you want to contribute to the Salt project? Excellent! You can help in a number of ways:

       • Using Salt and opening well-written bug reports.

       • Joining a working group.

       • Answering questions on irc, the  community  Slack,  the  salt-users  mailing  list,  Server  Fault,  or
         r/saltstack on Reddit.

       • Fixing bugs.

       • Enhancing the documentation.

       • Providing workarounds, patches, or other code without tests.

       • Telling other people about problems you solved using Salt.

       If  you’d  like  to  update  docs  or  fix  an issue, you’re going to need the Salt repo. The best way to
       contribute is using Git.

   Environment Setup
       To hack on Salt or the docs you’re going to need to set up your development environment. If  you  already
       have  a  workflow  that  you’re  comfortable with, you can use that, but otherwise this is an opinionated
       guide for setting up your dev environment. Follow these steps and you’ll end out with a  functioning  dev
       environment and be able to submit your first PR.

       This  guide  assumes  at  least a passing familiarity with Git, a common version control tool used across
       many open source projects, and is necessary for contributing to Salt. For an introduction to  Git,  watch
       Salt  Docs  Clinic  - Git For the True Beginner.  Because of its widespread use, there are many resources
       for learning more about Git. One popular resource is the free  online  book  Learn  Git  in  a  Month  of
       Lunches.

   pyenv, Virtual Environments, and You
       We recommend pyenv, since it allows installing multiple different Python versions, which is important for
       testing Salt across all the versions of Python that we support.

   On Linux
       Install pyenv:

          git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
          export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
          git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv.git $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv

   On Mac
       Install pyenv using brew:

          brew update
          brew install pyenv
          brew install pyenv-virtualenv

                                                         ----

       Now add pyenv to your .bashrc:

          echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
          pyenv init 2>> ~/.bashrc
          pyenv virtualenv-init 2>> ~/.bashrc

       For other shells, see the pyenv instructions.

       Go ahead and restart your shell. Now you should be able to install a new version of Python:

          pyenv install 3.7.0

       If  that fails, don’t panic! You’re probably just missing some build dependencies. Check out pyenv common
       build problems.

       Now that you’ve got your version of Python installed, you can create a new virtual environment with  this
       command:

          pyenv virtualenv 3.7.0 salt

       Then activate it:

          pyenv activate salt

       Sweet! Now you’re ready to clone Salt so you can start hacking away! If you get stuck at any point, check
       out the resources at the beginning of this guide. IRC and Slack are particularly helpful places to go.

   Get The Source!
       Salt  uses  the fork and clone workflow for Git contributions. See Using the Fork-and-Branch Git Workflow
       for how to implement it. But if you just want to hurry and get started you can go ahead and follow  these
       steps:

       Clones are so shallow. Well, this one is anyway:

          git clone --depth=1 --origin salt https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git

       This  creates a shallow clone of Salt, which should be fast. Most of the time that’s all you’ll need, and
       you can start building out other commits as you go. If you really want all 108,300+ commits you can  just
       run git fetch --unshallow. Then go make a sandwich because it’s gonna be a while.

       You’re  also  going to want to head over to GitHub and create your own fork of Salt. Once you’ve got that
       set up you can add it as a remote:

          git remote add yourname <YOUR SALT REMOTE>

       If you use your name to refer to your fork, and salt to refer to the official Salt repo you’ll never  get
       upstream or origin confused.

       NOTE:
          Each time you start work on a new issue you should fetch the most recent changes from salt/upstream.

   pre-commit and nox Setup
       Here  at  Salt  we  use  pre-commit and nox to make it easier for contributors to get quick feedback, for
       quality control, and to increase the chance that your merge request will get  reviewed  and  merged.  Nox
       enables us to run multiple different test configurations, as well as other common tasks. You can think of
       it  as  Make  with  superpowers.   Pre-commit does what it sounds like: it configures some Git pre-commit
       hooks to run black for formatting, isort for keeping our imports sorted, and pylint to catch issues  like
       unused imports, among others. You can easily install them in your virtualenv with:

          python -m pip install pre-commit nox
          pre-commit install

       WARNING:
          Currently there is an issue with the pip-tools-compile pre-commit hook on Windows.  The details around
          this  issue  are  included  here:  https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/56642.   Please ensure you
          export SKIP=pip-tools-compile to skip pip-tools-compile.

       Now before each commit, it will ensure that your code at  least  looks  right  before  you  open  a  pull
       request. And with that step, it’s time to start hacking on Salt!

   imagemagick Setup
       One  last  prerequisite  is to have imagemagick installed, as it is required by Sphinx for generating the
       HTML documentation.

          # On Mac, via homebrew
          brew install imagemagick

          # Example Linux installation: Debian-based
          sudo apt install imagemagick

   Salt Issues
   Create Your Own
       Perhaps you’ve come to this guide because you found a problem in Salt, and you’ve  diagnosed  the  cause.
       Maybe  you  need some help figuring out the problem. In any case, creating quality bug reports is a great
       way to contribute to Salt even if you lack the skills, time, or inclination to fix it yourself. If that’s
       the case, head on over to Salt’s issue tracker on GitHub.

       Creating a good report can take a little bit of time - but every minute you invest in  making  it  easier
       for  others  to reproduce and understand your issue is time well spent. The faster someone can understand
       your issue, the faster it will be able to get fixed correctly.

       The thing that every issue needs goes by many names, but one at least as good as  any  other  is  MCVE  -
       Minimum Complete Verifiable Example.

       In a nutshell:

       • Minimum: All of the extra information has been removed. Will 2 or 3 lines of master/minion config still
         exhibit the behavior?

       • Complete:  Minimum also means complete. If your example is missing information, then it’s not complete.
         Salt, Python, and OS versions are all bits of information that make your  example  complete.  Have  you
         provided the commands that you ran?

       • Verifiable: Can someone take your report and reproduce it?

       Slow  is  smooth, and smooth is fast - it may feel like you’re taking a long time to create your issue if
       you’re creating a proper MCVE, but a MCVE eliminates back and  forth  required  to  reproduce/verify  the
       issue so someone can actually create a fix.

   Pick An Issue
       If you don’t already have an issue in mind, you can search for help wanted issues. If you also search for
       good  first  issue  then  you  should  be  able  to  find  some  issues that are good for getting started
       contributing to Salt. Documentation issues are also good starter issues. When  you  find  an  issue  that
       catches  your  eye (or one of your own), it’s a good idea to comment on the issue and mention that you’re
       working on it. Good communication is key to collaboration - so if you don’t have time to complete work on
       the issue, just leaving some information about when you expect to pick things up again is a great idea!

   Hacking Away
   Salt, Tests, Documentation, and You
       Before approving code contributions, Salt requires:

       • documentation

       • meaningful passing tests

       • correct code

       Documentation fixes just require correct documentation.

   What If I Don’t Write Tests or Docs?
       If you aren’t into writing documentation or tests, we still welcome your contributions! But your PR  will
       be  labeled  Needs  Testcase  and Help Wanted until someone can get to write the tests/documentation.  Of
       course, if you have a desire but just lack the skill we are more than happy to collaborate and help  out!
       There’s the documentation working group and the testing working group.  We also regularly stream our test
       clinic  live on Twitch every Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning, Central Time. If you’d like specific
       help with tests, bring them to the clinic. If no community members need help, you  can  also  just  watch
       tests written in real time.

   Documentation
       Salt  uses  both  docstrings,  as  well  as  normal  reStructuredText  files  in  the salt/doc folder for
       documentation. Sphinx is used to generate the documentation, and does require setting up  imagemagick  on
       your OS.  Since we use nox, you can build your docs and view them in your browser with this one-liner:

          python -m nox -e 'docs-html(compress=False, clean=False)'; cd doc/_build/html; python -m webbrowser http://localhost:8000/contents.html; python -m http.server

       The  first  time this will take a while because there are a lot of modules. Maybe you should go grab some
       dessert if you already finished that sandwich. But once Sphinx is done building the docs,  python  should
       launch  your  default  browser  with the URL http://localhost:8000/contents.html. Now you can navigate to
       your docs and ensure your changes exist. If you make changes, you can simply run this:

          cd -; python -m nox -e 'docs-html(compress=False, clean=False)'; cd doc/_build/html; python -m http.server

       And then refresh your browser to get your updated docs. This one should  be  quite  a  bit  faster  since
       Sphinx won’t need to rebuild everything.

       If  your  change is a docs-only change, you can go ahead and commit/push your code and open a PR. You can
       indicate that it’s a docs-only change by adding [Documentation] to the title of your PR. Otherwise you’ll
       want to write some tests and code.

   Running Development Salt
       Note: If you run into any issues in this section, check the Troubleshooting section.

       If you’re going to hack on the Salt codebase you’re going to want to be able to  run  Salt  locally.  The
       first thing you need to do is install Salt as an editable pip install:

          python -m pip install -e .

       This will let you make changes to Salt without having to re-install it.

       After  all  of  the  dependencies and Salt are installed, it’s time to set up the config for development.
       Typically Salt runs as root, but you can specify which user to run as. To configure that, just  copy  the
       master  and minion configs. We have .gitignore setup to ignore the local/ directory, so we can put all of
       our personal files there.

          mkdir -p local/etc/salt/

       Create a master config file as local/etc/salt/master:

          cat <<EOF >local/etc/salt/master
          user: $(whoami)
          root_dir: $PWD/local/
          publish_port: 55505
          ret_port: 55506
          EOF

       And a minion config as local/etc/salt/minion:

          cat <<EOF >local/etc/salt/minion
          user: $(whoami)
          root_dir: $PWD/local/
          master: localhost
          id: saltdev
          master_port: 55506
          EOF

       Now you can start your Salt master and minion, specifying the config dir.

          salt-master --config-dir=local/etc/salt/ --log-level=debug --daemon
          salt-minion --config-dir=local/etc/salt/ --log-level=debug --daemon

       Now you should be able to accept the minion key:

          salt-key -c local/etc/salt -Ay

       And check that your master/minion are communicating:

          salt -c local/etc/salt \* test.version

       Rather than running test.version from your master, you can run it from the minion instead:

          salt-call -c local/etc/salt test.version

       Note that you’re running salt-call instead of salt, and you’re not specifying the  minion  (\*),  but  if
       you’re  running  the  dev version then you still will need to pass in the config dir. Now that you’ve got
       Salt running, you can hack away on the Salt codebase!

       If you need to restart Salt for some reason,  if  you’ve  made  changes  and  they  don’t  appear  to  be
       reflected, this is one option:

          kill -INT $(pgrep salt-master)
          kill -INT $(pgrep salt-minion)

       If you’d rather not use kill, you can have a couple of terminals open with your salt virtualenv activated
       and omit the --daemon argument. Salt will run in the foreground, so you can just use ctrl+c to quit.

   Test First? Test Last? Test Meaningfully!
       You can write tests first or tests last, as long as your tests are meaningful and complete! Typically the
       best  tests  for  Salt  are going to be unit tests. Testing is a whole topic on its own, But you may also
       want to write functional or integration tests. You’ll find those in the salt/tests directory.

       When you’re thinking about tests to write, the most important thing to keep in mind is,  “What,  exactly,
       am I testing?” When a test fails, you should know:

       • What, specifically, failed?

       • Why did it fail?

       • As much as possible, what do I need to do to fix this failure?

       If you can’t answer those questions then you might need to refactor your tests.

       When  you’re  running tests locally, you should make sure that if you remove your code changes your tests
       are failing. If your tests aren’t failing when you haven’t yet made  changes,  then  it’s  possible  that
       you’re testing the wrong thing.

       But  whether  you  adhere  to TDD/BDD, or you write your code first and your tests last, ensure that your
       tests are meaningful.

   Running Tests
       As previously mentioned, we use nox, and that’s how we run our tests. You should  have  it  installed  by
       this point but if not you can install it with this:

          python -m pip install nox

       Now you can run your tests:

          python -m nox -e "pytest-3.7(coverage=False)" -- tests/unit/cli/test_batch.py

       It’s  a  good idea to install espeak or use say on Mac if you’re running some long-running tests. You can
       do something like this:

          python -m nox -e "pytest-3.7(coverage=False)" -- tests/unit/cli/test_batch.py; espeak "Tests done, woohoo!"

       That way you don’t have to keep monitoring the actual test run.

   Changelog and Commit!
       When you write your commit message you should use imperative style. Do this:
          Add frobnosticate capability

       Don’t do this:
          Added frobnosticate capability

       But that advice is backwards for the changelog. We follow the keepachangelog approach for our  changelog,
       and  use  towncrier to generate it for each release. As a contributor, all that means is that you need to
       add a file to the salt/changelog directory, using the <issue #>.<type> format. For instanch, if you fixed
       issue 123, you would do:

          echo "Made sys.doc inform when no minions return" > changelog/123.fixed

       And that’s all that would go into your file. When it comes to your commit message, it’s  usually  a  good
       idea to add other information, such as

       • What does a reviewer need to know about the change that you made?

       • If someone isn’t an expert in this area, what will they need to know?

       This  will  also help you out, because when you go to create the PR it will automatically insert the body
       of your commit messages.

   PR Time!
       Once you’ve done all your dev work and tested locally, you should check out our PR guidelines.  After you
       read that page, it’s time to open a new PR. Fill out the PR template - you should have updated or created
       any necessary docs, and written tests if you’re providing a code change. When you submit your PR, we have
       a suite of tests that will run across different  platforms  to  help  ensure  that  no  known  bugs  were
       introduced.

   Now What?
       You’ve made your changes, added documentation, opened your PR, and have passing tests… now what? When can
       you expect your code to be merged?

       When  you  open  your  PR, a reviewer will get automatically assigned. If your PR is submitted during the
       week you should be able to expect some kind of communication within that business day. If your tests  are
       passing  and  we’re not in a code freeze, ideally your code will be merged that day. If you haven’t heard
       from your assigned reviewer, ping them on GitHub, irc, or Community Slack.

       It’s likely that your reviewer will leave some comments that need addressing - it may be a style  change,
       or  you  forgot  a  changelog  entry, or need to update the docs. Maybe it’s something more fundamental -
       perhaps you encountered the rare case where your PR has a much larger scope than initially assumed.

       Whatever the case, simply make the requested changes (or discuss why the  requests  are  incorrect),  and
       push  up  your  new commits. If your PR is open for a significant period of time it may be worth rebasing
       your changes on the most recent changes to Salt. If you need help, the previously  linked  Git  resources
       will be valuable.

       But  if,  for whatever reason, you’re not interested in driving your PR to completion then just note that
       in your PR. Something like, “I’m not interested in writing docs/tests, I just wanted to provide this  fix
       -  someone  else  will need to complete this PR.” If you do that then we’ll add a “Help Wanted” label and
       someone will be able to pick up the PR, make the required changes, and it can eventually get merged in.

       In any case, now that you have a PR open, congrats! You’re a Salt developer! You rock!

   Troubleshooting
   zmq.core.error.ZMQError
       Once the minion starts, you may see an error like the following:

          ::
          zmq.core.error.ZMQError:                                   ipc                                    path
          "/path/to/your/virtualenv/var/run/salt/minion/minion_event_7824dcbcfd7a8f6755939af70b96249f_pub.ipc"
          is longer than 107 characters (sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path)).

       This  means that the path to the socket the minion is using is too long.  This is a system limitation, so
       the only workaround is to reduce the length of this path. This can be done in a couple different ways:

       1. Create your virtualenv in a path that is short enough.

       2. Edit the :conf_minion:sock_dir minion config variable and reduce its length. Remember that  this  path
          is relative to the value you set in :conf_minion:root_dir.

       NOTE:  The socket path is limited to 107 characters on Solaris and Linux, and 103 characters on BSD-based
       systems.

   No permissions to access 
       If you forget to pass your config path to any of the salt* commands, you might see

          No permissions to access "/var/log/salt/master", are you running as the
          correct user?

       Just pass -c local/etc/salt (or whatever you named it)

   File descriptor limit
       You might need to raise your file descriptor limit. You can check it with:

          ulimit -n

       If the value is less than 3072, you should increase it with:

          ulimit -n 3072
          # For c-shell:
          limit descriptors 3072

   Pygit2 or other dependency install fails
       You may see some failure messages  when  installing  requirements.  You  can  directly  access  your  nox
       environment  and  possibly  install  pygit (or other dependency) that way. When you run nox, you’ll see a
       message like this:

          nox > Re-using existing virtual environment at .nox/pytest-parametrized-3-crypto-none-transport-zeromq-coverage-false.

       For this, you would be able to install with:

          .nox/pytest-parametrized-3-crypto-none-transport-zeromq-coverage-false/bin/python -m pip install pygit2

   Deprecating Code
       Salt should remain backwards compatible, though sometimes,  this  backwards  compatibility  needs  to  be
       broken because a specific feature and/or solution is no longer necessary or required.  At first one might
       think, let me change this code, it seems that it's not used anywhere else so it should be safe to remove.
       Then,  once  there's  a  new release, users complain about functionality which was removed and they where
       using it, etc. This should, at all costs, be avoided, and, in these cases, that specific code  should  be
       deprecated.

       In  order  to  give  users  enough  time  to  migrate from the old code behavior to the new behavior, the
       deprecation time frame should be carefully determined based on the significance  and  complexity  of  the
       changes required by the user.

       Salt feature releases are based on the Periodic Table. Any new features going into the master branch will
       be  named  after  the  next element in the Periodic Table. For example, Magnesium was the feature release
       name associated with the v3002 tag. At that point in time, any new features going into the master branch,
       after v3002 was tagged, were part of the Aluminium feature release.

       A deprecation warning should be in place for at least two major releases before the deprecated  code  and
       its  accompanying  deprecation  warning are removed.  More time should be given for more complex changes.
       For example, if the current release under  development  is  3001,  the  deprecated  code  and  associated
       warnings should remain in place and warn for at least Aluminium.

       To  help  in  this  deprecation  task, salt provides salt.utils.versions.warn_until. The idea behind this
       helper function is to show the deprecation warning to the user until salt reaches the  provided  version.
       Once  that  provided  version  is equaled salt.utils.versions.warn_until will raise a RuntimeError making
       salt stop its execution. This stoppage is unpleasant and will remind the developer that  the  deprecation
       limit has been reached and that the code can then be safely removed.

       Consider the following example:

          def some_function(bar=False, foo=None):
              if foo is not None:
                  salt.utils.versions.warn_until(
                      "Aluminium",
                      "The 'foo' argument has been deprecated and its "
                      "functionality removed, as such, its usage is no longer "
                      "required.",
                  )

       Development  begins  on  Aluminium,  or v3003, after the v3002 tag is applied to the master branch.  Once
       this occurs, all uses of the warn_until function targeting  Aluminium,  along  with  the  code  they  are
       warning about should be removed from the code.

   Why are we deprecating Python 2?
       Python 2.7.18 was the final release of Python2, released in April 2020.  At this point, Python 2 will  no
       longer receive any unpaid support. The Python core developers are focusing their efforts on improving and
       enhancing Python 3. Additionally, many libraries that Salt depends on have also dropped Python 2 support.

       To  take  advantage of continued support and improvements, Salt is joining the ranks of projects that are
       dropping legacy Python support in favor of Python 3.

   Was this announced/decided before making the change?
       SEP 5 was approved in April, 2019.

   Can I contribute Python 2 code?
       For several years, Salt has been a Python 2/3 codebase, requiring Python 3 support for all contributions.
       The only changes contributors can expect to this process is that we will now accept  Python  3-only  code
       changes.

       While  there  is  a significant subset of Python that is compatible with both Python 3 and legacy Python,
       changes requiring six or otherwise removing Python 3-only code will not be accepted.

   What if my OS does not include Python 3 packages? Or, how do I upgrade from Salt  on  Python  2  to  Salt  on
       Python 3?
       There are several options to upgrade to Python 3.

   On Modern Platforms
       At  this  point,  most  modern Linux distributions have Python 3 packages.  Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has moved to
       Python 3.8 as it’s default system Python.

   On Other Platforms
   Build Your Own
       If your current distribution does not have Python  3  it’s  pretty  simple  to  use  Salt  to  build  and
       distribute  Python  3 on your own. Installing Python 3 and pip installing Salt gives you the most control
       over your distribution.

   pop-build distributions
       Another approach is to use the pop-build distribution of Salt. With the  Sodium  release  we  will  begin
       releasing  packages  for  Salt  using  pop-build,  in tandem with our normal build process. The pop-build
       distribution will contain Salt, Python, and any necessary dependencies, which will  make  it  trivial  to
       have a completely supported version of Salt.

   Will you support a Python 3 master with an older Python 2 minion?
       Yes!  Our  policy  of  keeping  newer  masters  backwards compatible with at least the most recent minion
       version is not changing. You should be able to run modern Salt Masters on Python 3  with  slightly  older
       minions running on legacy Python. Of course, if you want your minions to be able to take advantage of the
       newest features in Salt, upgrading to Python 3 will be necessary.

   Will you support Python 2 master with a new Python 3 minion?
       In keeping with our existing policy, we make no guarantees about older masters with newer minions. It may
       work, but breakages are common and should be expected.

   How does this impact Salt-SSH support?
       Salt-SSH  will need Python 3 on the target minions. We will be upgrading Salt-SSH to provide instructions
       or recommendations on adding Python3 if it is not detected.

   What is your plan for removing Python 2 code?
       Legacy Python code will be gradually removed from the Salt codebase.

       While we could remove most of it at once, that introduces a high level of risk. Instead,  beginning  with
       the Sodium (v3001) release, Salt will simply drop support for Python 2. PRs will no longer be required to
       support Python 2 before merging.

       Over  time, as modules are changed, six and other legacy Python syntax will be removed. It may be at some
       point in the future it becomes necessary to remove the last vestiges of  legacy  Python  from  Salt,  but
       currently the plan is to take a more measured approach.

   Will Salt continue to package for Python 2?
       No. Beginning with Sodium (v3001), Salt will no longer release packages for, or support Python 2.

   Installing Salt for development
       Clone the repository using:

          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       NOTE:
          tags

          Just  cloning  the  repository  is  enough to work with Salt and make contributions. However, fetching
          additional tags from git is required to have Salt report the correct version for itself. To  do  this,
          first add the git repository as an upstream source:

              git remote add upstream https://github.com/saltstack/salt

          Fetching tags is done with the git 'fetch' utility:

              git fetch --tags upstream

       Create a new virtualenv:

          virtualenv /path/to/your/virtualenv

       Avoid making your virtualenv path too long.

       On  Arch Linux, where Python 3 is the default installation of Python, use the virtualenv2 command instead
       of virtualenv.

       On Gentoo you must use --system-site-packages to enable pkg and portage_config functionality

       NOTE:
          Using system Python modules in the virtualenv

          To use already-installed python modules in virtualenv (instead of having pip download and compile  new
          ones),  run  virtualenv --system-site-packages Using this method eliminates the requirement to install
          the salt dependencies again, although it does assume that the listed modules are all installed in  the
          system PYTHONPATH at the time of virtualenv creation.

       NOTE:
          Python development package

          Be  sure to install python devel package in order to install required Python modules. In Debian/Ubuntu
          run sudo apt-get install -y python-dev. In RedHat based system install python-devel

       Activate the virtualenv:

          source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate

       Install Salt (and dependencies) into the virtualenv:

          pip install pyzmq PyYAML pycrypto msgpack jinja2 psutil futures tornado
          pip install -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       NOTE:
          Installing psutil

          Python header files are required to build this module, otherwise the pip install will  fail.  If  your
          distribution  separates  binaries  and  headers  into  separate  packages, make sure that you have the
          headers installed. In most Linux distributions which split the headers into their  own  package,  this
          can  be  done  by installing the python-dev or python-devel package.  For other platforms, the package
          will likely be similarly named.

       NOTE:
          Installing dependencies on macOS.

          You can install needed dependencies on macOS using homebrew or macports.  See macOS Installation

       WARNING:
          Installing on RedHat-based Distros

          If installing from pip (or from source using setup.py install), be advised that the yum-utils  package
          is needed for Salt to manage packages on RedHat-based systems.

   Running a self-contained development version
       During  development  it is easiest to be able to run the Salt master and minion that are installed in the
       virtualenv you created above, and also to have all the configuration, log, and cache files  contained  in
       the virtualenv as well.

       The  /path/to/your/virtualenv  referenced  multiple  times  below  is  also  available  in  the  variable
       $VIRTUAL_ENV once the virtual environment is activated.

       Copy the master and minion config files into your virtualenv:

          mkdir -p /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/pki/{master,minion}
          cp ./salt/conf/master ./salt/conf/minion /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/

       Edit the master config file:

       1. Uncomment and change the user: root value to your own user.

       2. Uncomment and change the root_dir: / value to point to /path/to/your/virtualenv.

       3. Uncomment    and    change    the    pki_dir:    /etc/salt/pki/master    value     to     point     to
          /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/pki/master

       4. If   you   are   running   version   0.11.1   or   older,   uncomment,   and   change   the   pidfile:
          /var/run/salt-master.pid value to point to /path/to/your/virtualenv/salt-master.pid.

       5. If you are also running a non-development version of Salt you will have to change the publish_port and
          ret_port values as well.

       Edit the minion config file:

       1. Repeat the edits you made in the master config for the user and root_dir values as well  as  any  port
          changes.

       2. Uncomment     and     change     the    pki_dir:    /etc/salt/pki/minion    value    to    point    to
          /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/pki/minion

       3. If   you   are   running   version   0.11.1   or   older,   uncomment,   and   change   the   pidfile:
          /var/run/salt-minion.pid value to point to /path/to/your/virtualenv/salt-minion.pid.

       4. Uncomment and change the master: salt value to point at localhost.

       5. Uncomment  and  change  the  id:  value  to  something descriptive like "saltdev". This isn't strictly
          necessary but it will serve as a reminder of which Salt installation you are working with.

       6. If you changed the ret_port value in the master config because you are also running a  non-development
          version of Salt, then you will have to change the master_port value in the minion config to match.

       NOTE:
          Using salt-call with a Standalone Minion

          If  you  plan to run salt-call with this self-contained development environment in a masterless setup,
          you should invoke salt-call with -c /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt so that salt can find the minion
          config file. Without the -c option, Salt finds its config files in /etc/salt.

       Start the master and minion, accept the minion's key, and verify your local Salt installation is working:

          cd /path/to/your/virtualenv
          salt-master -c ./etc/salt -d
          salt-minion -c ./etc/salt -d
          salt-key -c ./etc/salt -L
          salt-key -c ./etc/salt -A
          salt -c ./etc/salt '*' test.version

       Running the master and minion in debug mode can be helpful when developing. To do this, add -l  debug  to
       the  calls to salt-master and salt-minion.  If you would like to log to the console instead of to the log
       file, remove the -d.

       NOTE:
          Too long socket path?

          Once the minion starts, you may see an error like the following:

              zmq.core.error.ZMQError: ipc path "/path/to/your/virtualenv/
              var/run/salt/minion/minion_event_7824dcbcfd7a8f6755939af70b96249f_pub.ipc"
              is longer than 107 characters (sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path)).

          This means that the path to the socket the minion is using is too long. This is a  system  limitation,
          so  the  only  workaround is to reduce the length of this path. This can be done in a couple different
          ways:

          1. Create your virtualenv in a path that is short enough.

          2. Edit the sock_dir minion config variable and reduce its length. Remember that this path is relative
             to the value you set in root_dir.

          NOTE: The socket path is limited to 107 characters  on  Solaris  and  Linux,  and  103  characters  on
          BSD-based systems.

       NOTE:
          File descriptor limits

          Ensure that the system open file limit is raised to at least 2047:

              # check your current limit
              ulimit -n

              # raise the limit. persists only until reboot
              # use 'limit descriptors 2047' for c-shell
              ulimit -n 2047

          To set file descriptors on macOS, refer to the macOS Installation instructions.

   Changing Default Paths
       Instead  of  updating  your configuration files to point to the new root directory and having to pass the
       new configuration directory path to all of Salt's CLI tools, you can explicitly tweak the default  system
       paths that Salt expects:

          GENERATE_SALT_SYSPATHS=1 pip install --global-option='--salt-root-dir=/path/to/your/virtualenv/' \
              -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       You can now call all of Salt's CLI tools without explicitly passing the configuration directory.

   Additional Options
       If  you  want  to  distribute  your  virtualenv,  you  probably  don't want to include Salt's clone .git/
       directory, and, without it, Salt won't report the accurate version. You can tell setup.py to generate the
       hardcoded version information which is distributable:

          GENERATE_SALT_SYSPATHS=1 WRITE_SALT_VERSION=1 pip install --global-option='--salt-root-dir=/path/to/your/virtualenv/' \
              -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       Instead of passing those two environmental variables, you can just pass a single one which  will  trigger
       the other two:

          MIMIC_SALT_INSTALL=1 pip install --global-option='--salt-root-dir=/path/to/your/virtualenv/' \
              -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       This  last  one  will  grant  you  an  editable salt installation with hardcoded system paths and version
       information.

   Installing Salt from the Python Package Index
       If you are installing using easy_install, you will need to define a USE_SETUPTOOLS environment  variable,
       otherwise dependencies will not be installed:

          USE_SETUPTOOLS=1 easy_install salt

   Editing and previewing the documentation
       You  need  sphinx-build command to build the docs. In Debian/Ubuntu this is provided in the python-sphinx
       package. Sphinx can also be installed to a virtualenv using pip:

          pip install Sphinx==1.3.1

       Change to salt documentation directory, then:

          cd doc; make html

       • This will build the HTML docs. Run make without any arguments to see the available make targets,  which
         include html, man, and text.

       • The  docs  then  are built within the docs/_build/ folder. To update the docs after making changes, run
         make again.

       • The docs use reStructuredText for markup.  See a live demo at http://rst.ninjs.org/.

       • The help information on each module or state is culled from the python code that runs for  that  piece.
         Find them in salt/modules/ or salt/states/.

       • To  build the docs on Arch Linux, the python2-sphinx package is required. Additionally, it is necessary
         to tell make where to find the proper sphinx-build binary, like so:

          make SPHINXBUILD=sphinx-build2 html

       • To build the docs on RHEL/CentOS 6, the python-sphinx10 package must be installed from  EPEL,  and  the
         following make command must be used:

          make SPHINXBUILD=sphinx-build html

       Once  you've  updated the documentation, you can run the following command to launch a simple Python HTTP
       server to see your changes:

          cd _build/html; python -m SimpleHTTPServer

   Running unit and integration tests
       Run the test suite with following command:

          ./setup.py test

       See here for more information regarding the test suite.

   Issue and Pull Request Labeling System
       SaltStack uses several labeling schemes to help facilitate code contributions and bug resolution. See the
       Labels and Milestones documentation for more information.

   GitHub Labels and Milestones
       SaltStack uses several label categories, as well as  milestones,  to  triage  incoming  issues  and  pull
       requests  in  the  GitHub  issue  tracker.   Labels  are used to sort issues by type, priority, severity,
       status, functional area, functional group, and targeted release and pull requests by  status,  functional
       area,  functional  group,  type  of  change, and test status.  Milestones are used to indicate whether an
       issue is fully triaged or is scheduled to be fixed by SaltStack in an upcoming sprint.

   Milestones
       All issues are assigned to a milestone, whereas pull requests are almost never assigned to a milestone as
       the mean lifetime of pull requests is short enough that there is no need to track them temporally.

       SaltStack uses milestones to indicate which issues are blocked on  submitter  or  upstream  actions,  are
       approved, or are scheduled to be fixed or implemented in an upcoming sprint.  If an issue is not attached
       to  a  sprint  milestone,  you  are  welcome  to work on it at your own desire and convenience.  If it is
       attached to a sprint milestone and you have already begun working on it or have a  solution  in  mind  or
       have  other ideas related to the issue, you are encouraged to coordinate with the assignee via the GitHub
       issue tracker to create the best possible solution or implementation.

       • Approved - The issue has been validated and has all necessary information.

       • Blocked - The issue is waiting on actions by parties outside  of  SaltStack,  such  as  receiving  more
         information from the submitter or resolution of an upstream issue. This milestone is usually applied in
         conjunction  with  the  labels Info Needed, Question, Expected Behavior, Won't Fix For Now, or Upstream
         Bug.

   Labels
       Labels are used to sort and describe issues and pull requests.  Some labels are usually reserved for  one
       or the other, though most labels may be applied to both.

       New  issues  will receive at least one label and a milestone, and new pull requests will receive at least
       one label.  Except for the functional area and functional group label categories, issues  will  generally
       receive only up to one label per category.

   Type
       Issues  are  categorized into one of several types.  Type labels are almost never used for pull requests.
       GitHub treats pull requests like issues in many ways, so a pull request could be considered an issue with
       an implicit Pull Request type label applied.

       • Feature - The issue is a request for new functionality including changes, enhancements, refactors, etc.

       • Bug - The issue documents broken, incorrect, or confusing behavior.  This label is  always  accompanied
         by a severity label.

       • Duplicate - The issue is a duplicate of another feature request or bug report.

       • Upstream Bug - The issue is a result of an upstream issue.

       • Question  -  The  issue  is  more  of  a question than a request for new features or a report of broken
         features, but can sometimes lead to further discussion or changes of confusing or incongruous  behavior
         or documentation.

       • Expected Behavior - The issue is a bug report of intended functionality.

   Priority
       An  issue's  priority  is  relative  to  its  functional area.  If a bug report, for example, about gitfs
       indicates that all users of gitfs will encounter this bug, then a P1 label will be applied,  even  though
       users  who  are  not using gitfs will not encounter the bug.  If a feature is requested by many users, it
       may be given a high priority.

       • P1 - The issue will be seen by all users.

       • P2 - The issue will be seen by most users.

       • P3 - The issue will be seen by about half of users.

       • P4 - The issue will not be seen by most users.  Usually the issue is a very specific use case or corner
         case.

   Severity
       Severity labels are almost always only applied to issues labeled Bug.

       • Blocker - The issue is blocking an impending release.

       • Critical - The issue causes data loss, crashes or hangs salt processes, makes the system  unresponsive,
         etc.

       • High  Severity  -  The  issue  reports  incorrect  functionality,  bad  functionality, a confusing user
         experience, etc.

       • Medium Severity - The issue reports cosmetic items, formatting, spelling, colors, etc.

   Functional Area
       Many major components of Salt have corresponding GitHub labels.  These labels are applied to  all  issues
       and  pull  requests as is reasonably appropriate.  They are useful in organizing issues and pull requests
       according to the source code relevant to issues or the source code changed by pull requests.

       • Execution ModuleFile ServersGrainsMulti-MasterPackaging  Related to packaging of Salt, not Salt's support for package management.

       • PillarRAETReturnersRunnersSPMSalt-APISalt-CloudSalt-SSHSalt-SyndicState ModuleTestsTransportWindowsZMQ

   Functional Group
       These labels sort issues and pull requests according to the internal SaltStack engineering teams.

       • Core - The issue or pull request relates to code that is central or existential to Salt itself.

       • Platform - The issue or pull request relates to support and integration  with  various  platforms  like
         traditional operating systems as well as containers, platform-based utilities like filesystems, command
         schedulers, etc., and system-based applications like webservers, databases, etc.

       • RIoT  - The issue or pull request relates to support and integration with various abstract systems like
         cloud providers, hypervisors, API-based services, etc.

       • Console - The issue or pull request relates to the SaltStack enterprise console.

       • Documentation - The issue or pull request relates to documentation.

   Status
       Status labels are used to define and track the state of issues and  pull  requests.   Not  all  potential
       statuses  correspond  to  a  label, but some statuses are common enough that labels have been created for
       them.  If an issue has not been moved beyond the Blocked milestone, it is very likely that it  will  only
       have a status label.

       • Cannot  Reproduce  - The issue is a bug and has been reviewed by a SaltStack engineer, but it cannot be
         replicated with the provided information and context.  Those involved with the bug will  need  to  work
         through additional ideas until the bug can be isolated and verified.

       • Confirmed  -  The  issue is a bug and has been confirmed by a SaltStack engineer, who often documents a
         minimal working example that reproduces the bug.

       • Fixed Pending Verification - The issue is a bug and has been fixed by one or more pull requests,  which
         should  link to the issue.  Closure of the issue is contingent upon confirmation of resolution from the
         submitter.  If the submitter reports a negative confirmation, this label is removed.  If no response is
         given after a few weeks, then the issue will be assumed fixed and closed.

       • Info Needed - The issue needs more information before it can be verified and resolved.  For  a  feature
         request  this  may  include  a description of the use cases.  Almost all bug reports need to include at
         least the versions of salt and its dependencies, the system type  and  version,  commands  used,  debug
         logs, error messages, and relevant configs.

       • Pending Changes - The pull request needs additional changes before it can be merged.

       • Pending Discussion - The issue or pull request needs more discussion before it can be closed or merged.
         The  status  of  the  issue  or  pull request is not clear or apparent enough for definite action to be
         taken, or additional input from SaltStack, the submitter, or another party has been requested.

         If the issue is not a pull request, once the discussion has arrived at a cogent conclusion, this  label
         will be removed and the issue will be accepted.  If it is a pull request, the results of the discussion
         may require additional changes and thus, a Pending Changes label.

       • won't-fix  -  The  issue is legitimate, but it is not something the Salt core team is currently able or
         willing to fix or implement.  Issues having this label may be revisited in the future, or solved  by  a
         Salt community member.

   Test Status
       These labels relate to the status of the automated tests that run on pull requests.

       • has-failing-test  -  The  PR  currently  has  one  or more failing tests that prevent the PR from being
         merged.

       • Needs Testcase - The PR has code changes, but lack any automated tests.  These PRs need automated tests
         written before they may be merged.

   Other
       These labels indicate miscellaneous issue types or statuses that are common or  important  enough  to  be
       tracked and sorted with labels.

       • Awesome  -  The  pull  request  implements an especially well crafted solution, or a very difficult but
         necessary change.

       • Help Wanted - The issue appears to have a simple solution.  Issues having this label should be  a  good
         starting place for new contributors to Salt.

       • Regression - The issue is a bug that breaks functionality known to work in previous releases.

       • Story  -  The  issue  is used by a SaltStack engineer to track progress on multiple related issues in a
         single place.

       • Stretch - The issue is an optional goal for the current sprint but may not be delivered.

       • ZD - The issue is related to a Zendesk customer support ticket.

       • <Release> - The issue is scheduled to be implemented by <Release>.  See here for a discussion of Salt's
         release codenames.

   Package Providers
       This page contains guidelines for writing package providers.

   Package Functions
       One of the most important features of Salt is  package  management.  There  is  no  shortage  of  package
       managers,  so  in  the  interest  of  providing  a consistent experience in pkg states, there are certain
       functions that should be present in a package provider. Note that these are  subject  to  change  as  new
       features are added or existing features are enhanced.

   list_pkgs
       This  function should declare an empty dict, and then add packages to it by calling pkg_resource.add_pkg,
       like so:

          __salt__["pkg_resource.add_pkg"](ret, name, version)

       The last thing that should be  done  before  returning  is  to  execute  pkg_resource.sort_pkglist.  This
       function does not presently do anything to the return dict, but will be used in future versions of Salt.

          __salt__["pkg_resource.sort_pkglist"](ret)

       list_pkgs  returns  a  dictionary  of  installed  packages, with the keys being the package names and the
       values being the version installed. Example return data:

          {"foo": "1.2.3-4", "bar": "5.6.7-8"}

   latest_version
       Accepts an arbitrary number of arguments. Each argument is a package name. The return value for a package
       will be an empty string if the package is not found or if the package is up-to-date.  The  only  case  in
       which  a  non-empty  string  is  returned  is  if the package is available for new installation (i.e. not
       already installed) or if there is an upgrade available.

       If only one argument was passed, this function return a string, otherwise a dict of name/version pairs is
       returned.

       This function must also accept **kwargs, in order to receive the fromrepo and repo keyword arguments from
       pkg states. Where supported, these arguments should be used to find the install/upgrade candidate in  the
       specified  repository.  The  fromrepo  kwarg  takes  precedence over repo, so if both of those kwargs are
       present, the repository specified in fromrepo should be  used.  However,  if  repo  is  used  instead  of
       fromrepo, it should still work, to preserve backwards compatibility with older versions of Salt.

   version
       Like  latest_version,  accepts  an arbitrary number of arguments and returns a string if a single package
       name was passed, or a dict of name/value pairs if more than one was passed. The only difference  is  that
       the return values are the currently-installed versions of whatever packages are passed. If the package is
       not installed, an empty string is returned for that package.

   upgrade_available
       Deprecated and destined to be removed. For now, should just do the following:

          def myfunc():
              return __salt__["pkg.latest_version"](name) != ""

   install
       The following arguments are required and should default to None:

       1. name (for single-package pkg states)

       2. pkgs (for multiple-package pkg states)

       3. sources (for binary package file installation)

       The  first  thing  that  this  function  should  do  is call pkg_resource.parse_targets (see below). This
       function will convert the SLS input into a more easily parsed data structure.  pkg_resource.parse_targets
       may need to be modified to support your new package provider, as it  does  things  like  parsing  package
       metadata which cannot be done for every package management system.

          pkg_params, pkg_type = __salt__["pkg_resource.parse_targets"](name, pkgs, sources)

       Two  values will be returned to the install function. The first of them will be a dictionary. The keys of
       this dictionary will be package  names,  though  the  values  will  differ  depending  on  what  kind  of
       installation is being done:

       • If  name  was  provided  (and pkgs was not), then there will be a single key in the dictionary, and its
         value will be None. Once the data has been returned, if the version keyword argument was provided, then
         it should replace the None value in the dictionary.

       • If pkgs was provided, then name is ignored, and the dictionary will contain one entry for each  package
         in  the  pkgs  list.  The  values in the dictionary will be None if a version was not specified for the
         package, and the desired version if specified. See the Multiple Package Installation Options section of
         the pkg.installed state for more info.

       • If sources was provided, then name is ignored, and the dictionary values will be the path/URI  for  the
         package.

       The  second  return  value  will  be  a  string with two possible values: repository or file. The install
       function can use this value  (if  necessary)  to  build  the  proper  command  to  install  the  targeted
       package(s).

       Both  before  and  after  the  installing the target(s), you should run list_pkgs to obtain a list of the
       installed packages. You should then return the output of salt.utils.data.compare_dicts():

          def myfunc():
              return salt.utils.data.compare_dicts(old, new)

   remove
       Removes the passed package and return a list of the packages removed.

   Package Repo Functions
       There are some functions provided by pkg which are specific to package repositories, and not to  packages
       themselves.  When  writing  modules for new package managers, these functions should be made available as
       stated below, in order to provide compatibility with the pkgrepo state.

       All repo functions should accept a basedir option, which defines which directory repository configuration
       should be found in. The default for this is dictated by the repo manager that is being used,  and  rarely
       needs to be changed.

          basedir = "/etc/yum.repos.d"
          __salt__["pkg.list_repos"](basedir)

   list_repos
       Lists the repositories that are currently configured on this system.

          __salt__["pkg.list_repos"]()

       Returns a dictionary, in the following format:

          {'reponame': 'config_key_1': 'config value 1',
                       'config_key_2': 'config value 2',
                       'config_key_3': ['list item 1 (when appropriate)',
                                        'list item 2 (when appropriate)]}

   get_repo
       Displays all local configuration for a specific repository.

          __salt__["pkg.get_repo"](repo="myrepo")

       The information is formatted in much the same way as list_repos, but is specific to only one repo.

          {'config_key_1': 'config value 1',
           'config_key_2': 'config value 2',
           'config_key_3': ['list item 1 (when appropriate)',
                            'list item 2 (when appropriate)]}

   del_repo
       Removes the local configuration for a specific repository. Requires a repo argument, which must match the
       locally  configured name. This function returns a string, which informs the user as to whether or not the
       operation was a success.

          __salt__["pkg.del_repo"](repo="myrepo")

   mod_repo
       Modify the local configuration for one or more option for a configured repo.  This is  also  the  way  to
       create new repository configuration on the local system; if a repo is specified which does not yet exist,
       it will be created.

       The options specified for this function are specific to the system; please refer to the documentation for
       your specific repo manager for specifics.

          __salt__["pkg.mod_repo"](repo="myrepo", url="http://myurl.com/repo")

   Low-Package Functions
       In  general,  the standard package functions as describes above will meet your needs. These functions use
       the system's native repo manager (for instance, yum or the apt tools). In most cases, the repo manager is
       actually separate from the package manager. For instance, yum is usually a front-end for rpm, and apt  is
       usually  a  front-end  for  dpkg.  When  possible,  the package functions that use those package managers
       directly should do so through the low package functions.

       It is normal and sane for pkg to make calls to lowpkgs, but lowpkg must never make calls to pkg. This  is
       affects  functions which are required by both pkg and lowpkg, but the technique in pkg is more performant
       than what is available to lowpkg. When this is the case, the lowpkg function that requires that technique
       must still use the lowpkg version.

   list_pkgs
       Returns a dict of packages installed, including the package name and  version.   Can  accept  a  list  of
       packages; if none are specified, then all installed packages will be listed.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.list_pkgs"]("foo", "bar")

       Example output:

          {"foo": "1.2.3-4", "bar": "5.6.7-8"}

   verify
       Many  (but  not  all)  package management systems provide a way to verify that the files installed by the
       package manager have or have not changed.  This  function  accepts  a  list  of  packages;  if  none  are
       specified, all packages will be included.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.verify"]("httpd")

       Example output:

          {
              "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf": {
                  "mismatch": ["size", "md5sum", "mtime"],
                  "type": "config",
              }
          }

   file_list
       Lists all of the files installed by all packages specified. If not packages are specified, then all files
       for all known packages are returned.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.file_list"]("httpd", "apache")

       This  function  does not return which files belong to which packages; all files are returned as one giant
       list (hence the file_list function name. However, This information is still returned inside of a dict, so
       that it can provide any errors to the user in a sane manner.

          {
              "errors": ["package apache is not installed"],
              "files": ["/etc/httpd", "/etc/httpd/conf", "/etc/httpd/conf.d", "...SNIP..."],
          }

   file_dict
       Lists all of the files installed by all packages specified. If not packages are specified, then all files
       for all known packages are returned.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.file_dict"]("httpd", "apache", "kernel")

       Unlike file_list, this function will break down which files belong to which packages. It will also return
       errors in the same manner as file_list.

          {
              "errors": ["package apache is not installed"],
              "packages": {

   Pull Requests
       Salt is a large software project with many developers working together. We encourage all  Salt  users  to
       contribute  new features, bug fixes and documentation fixes. For those who haven't contributed to a large
       software project before we encourage you to consider  the  following  questions  when  preparing  a  pull
       request.

       This  isn't  an exhaustive list and these aren't necessarily hard and fast rules, but these are things we
       consider when reviewing a pull request.

       • Does this change  work  on  all  platforms?  In  cases  where  it  does  not,  is  an  appropriate  and
         easy-to-understand  reason  presented  to the user? Is it documented as-such? Have we thought about all
         the possible ways this code might be used and accounted as best we can for them?

       • Will this code work on versions of all Python we support? Will it work on future versions?

       • Are Python reserved keywords used? Are variables named in a way that will make it  easy  for  the  next
         person to understand what's going on?

       • Does  this  code  present a security risk in any way? What is the worst possible thing that an attacker
         could do with this code? If dangerous cases are possible, is it appropriate to document  them?  If  so,
         has this been done?  Would this change pass muster with a professional security audit? Is it obvious to
         a person using this code what the risks are?

       • Is  it  readable?  Does it conform to our style guide? Is the code documented such that the next person
         who comes along will be able to read and understand it? Most especially, are edge-cases  documented  to
         avoid  regressions?  Will  it be immediately evident to the next person who comes along why this change
         was made?

       • If appropriate, has the person who wrote the code which is being modified been notified and included in
         the process?

       • What are the performance implications of this change? Is there a more efficient way  to  structure  the
         logic  and  if  so, does making the change balance itself against readability in a sensible way? Do the
         performance characteristics of the code change based on the way it is being invoked (i.e.,  through  an
         API or various command-line tools.) Will it be easy to profile this change if it might be a problem?

       • Are caveats considered and documented in the change?

       • Will  the code scale? More critically, will it scale in both directions?  Salt runs in data-centers and
         on Raspberry Pi installations in the Sahara. It needs to work on big servers and tiny devices.

       • Is appropriate documentation written both in public-facing docs and in-line?  How will  the  user  know
         how  to  use  this? What will they do if it doesn't work as expected? Is this something a new user will
         understand? Can a user know all they need to about this functionality by reading the public docs?

       • Is this a change in behavior? If so,  is  it  in  the  appropriate  branch?  Are  deprecation  warnings
         necessary? Have those changes been fully documented?  Have we fully thought through what implications a
         change in behavior might have?

       • How  has  the code been tested? If appropriate are there automated tests which cover this? Is it likely
         to regress? If so, how has the potential of that regression  been  mitigated?  What  is  the  plan  for
         ensuring that this code works going forward?

       • If it's asynchronous code, what is the potential for a race condition?

       • Is  this  code  an  original  work?  If  it's  borrowed  from  another  project or found online are the
         appropriate licensing/attribution considerations handled?

       • Is the reason for the change fully explained in the PR? If not for review, this is  necessary  so  that
         somebody in the future can go back and figure out why it was necessary.

       • Is  the  intended  behavior of the change clear? How will that behavior be known to future contributors
         and to users?

       • Does this code handle errors in a reasonable way? Have we gone  back  through  the  stack  as  much  as
         possible  to make sure that an error cannot be raised that we do not account for? Are errors tested for
         as well as proper functionality?

       • If the code relies on external libraries, do we properly handle old versions of them? Do we  require  a
         specific  version  and  if  so  is this version check implemented? Is the library available on the same
         platforms that module in question claims to support? If the code  was  written  and  tested  against  a
         particular library, have we documented that fact?

       • Can  this code freeze/hang/crash a running daemon? Can it stall a state run?  Are there infinite loops?
         Are appropriate timeouts implemented?

       • Is the function interface well documented? If argument types can not be inferred by introspection,  are
         they documented?

       • Are resources such as file-handles cleaned-up after they are used?

       • Is it possible that a reference-cycle exists between objects that will leak memory?

       • Has the code been linted and does it pass all tests?

       • Does  the  change  fully  address the problem or is it limited to a small surface area? By this, I mean
         that it should be clear that the submitter has looked for other cases in the function or  module  where
         the  given case might also be addressed. If additional changes are necessary are they documented in the
         code as a FIXME or the PR and in Github as an issue to be tracked?

       • Will the code throw errors/warnings/stacktraces to the console during normal operation?

       • Has all the debugging been removed?

       • Does the code log any sensitive data? Does it show sensitive data  in  process  lists?  Does  it  store
         sensitive data to disk and if so, does it do so in a secure manner? Are there potential race conditions
         in between writing the data to disk and setting the appropriate permissions?

       • Is  it clear from the solution that the problem is well-understood? How can somebody who has never seen
         the problem feel confident that this proposed change is the best one?

       • What's hard-coded that might not need to be? Are we making sensible decisions for the user and allowing
         them to tune and change things where appropriate?

       • Are utility functions used where appropriate? Does this change re-implement something we  already  have
         code for?

       • Is  the  right  thing being fixed? There are cases where it's appropriate to fix a test and cases where
         it's appropriate to fix the code that's under test.  Which is best for  the  user?  Is  this  change  a
         shortcut or a solution that will be solid in the months and years to come?

       • How will this code react to changes elsewhere in the code base? What is it coupled to and have we fully
         thought through how best to present a coherent interface to consumers of a given function or method?

       • Does this PR try to fix too many bugs/problems at once?

       • Should this be split into multiple PRs to make them easier to test and reason about?

   Pull Request Requirements
       The  following  outlines  what is required before a pull request can be merged into the salt project. For
       each of these requirements, an exception can  be  made  that  requires  3  approvals  before  merge.  The
       exceptions are detailed more below.

   All PR requirements
          • Approval  Required:  approval  review  from  core  team  member OR 1 approval review from captain of
            working group

          • Cannot merge your own PR until 1 reviewer approves from defined list above that is not the author.

          • All Tests Pass

   Bug Fix PR requirements
          • Test Coverage: regression test written to cover bug  fix.  Contributors  only  need  to  write  test
            coverage for their specific changes.

          • Point to the issue the PR is resolving. If there is not an issue one will need to be created.

   Feature PR requirements
          • Test Coverage: tests written to cover new feature. Contributors only need to write test coverage for
            their specific changes.

          • Release Notes: Add note in release notes of new feature for relative release.

          • Add .. versionadded:: <release> to module's documentation. If you are not certain which release your
            fix  will  be included in you can include TBD and the PR reviewer will let you know the correct name
            of the release you need to update to the versionadded.

   Exceptions to all requirements
       As previously stated, all of the above requirements can be bypassed with 3 approvals.  PR's that  do  not
       require tests include:

          • documentation

          • cosmetic changes (for example changing from log.debug to log.trace)

          • fixing tests

          • pylint

          • changes outside of the salt directory

   Reporting Bugs
       Salt uses GitHub to track open issues and feature requests.

       To file a bug, please navigate to the new issue page for the Salt project.

       In an issue report, please include the following information:

          • The  output of salt --versions-report from the relevant machines. This can also be gathered remotely
            by using salt <my_tgt> test.versions_report.

          • A description of the problem including steps taken to cause the issue  to  occur  and  the  expected
            behaviour.

          • Any steps taken to attempt to remediate the problem.

          • Any configuration options set in a configuration file that may be relevant.

          • A reproduceable test case. This may be as simple as an SLS file that illustrates a problem or it may
            be  a  link  to  a  repository  that  contains  a  number  of SLS files that can be used together to
            re-produce a problem. If the problem is transitory, any information that can  be  used  to  try  and
            reproduce the problem is helpful.

          • [Optional] The output of each salt component (master/minion/CLI) running with the -ldebug flag set.

          NOTE:
              Please be certain to scrub any logs or SLS files for sensitive data!

   Salt Topology
       Salt  is  based  on  a  powerful, asynchronous, network topology using ZeroMQ. Many ZeroMQ systems are in
       place to enable communication. The central idea is to have the fastest communication possible.

   Servers
       The Salt Master runs 2 network services. First is the ZeroMQ PUB system. This service by default runs  on
       port 4505/tcp and can be configured via the publish_port option in the master configuration.

       Second  is  the ZeroMQ REP system. This is a separate interface used for all bi-directional communication
       with minions. By default this system binds to port 4506/tcp and can be configured via the ret_port option
       in the master.

   PUB/SUB
       The commands sent out via the salt client are broadcast out to the minions via ZeroMQ  PUB/SUB.  This  is
       done  by  allowing  the minions to maintain a connection back to the Salt Master and then all connections
       are informed to download the command data at once. The command data is kept extremely small (usually less
       than 1K) so it is not a burden on the network.

   Return
       The PUB/SUB system is a one way communication, so once a publish is sent out the  PUB  interface  on  the
       master  has  no further communication with the minion.  The minion, after running the command, then sends
       the command's return data back to the master via the ret_port.

   Developing Salt Tutorial
       This tutorial assumes you have:

       • a web browser

       • a GitHub account (<my_account>)

       • a command line (CLI)

       • git

       • a text editor

   Fork
       In your browser, navigate to the saltstack/salt GitHub repository.

       Click on Fork (https://github.com/saltstack/salt/#fork-destination-box).

       NOTE:
          If you have more than one GitHub presence, for example if you are a member of a team, GitHub will  ask
          you into which area to clone Salt.  If you don't know where, then select your personal GitHub account.

   Clone
       In  your  CLI,  navigate  to  the  directory  into  which you want clone the Salt codebase and submit the
       following command:

          $ git clone https://github.com/<my_account>/salt.git

       where <my_account> is the name of your GitHub account.  After the clone has completed, add SaltStack as a
       second remote and fetch any changes from upstream.

          $ cd salt
          $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git
          $ git fetch upstream

       For this tutorial, we will be working off from the master branch, which is the  default  branch  for  the
       SaltStack  GitHub  project.   This branch needs to track upstream/master so that we will get all upstream
       changes when they happen.

          $ git checkout master
          $ git branch --set-upstream-to upstream/master

   Fetch
       Fetch any upstream changes on the master branch and sync them to your local copy of  the  branch  with  a
       single command:

          $ git pull --rebase

       NOTE:
          For  an  explanation  on  pull vs pull --rebase and other excellent points, see this article by Mislav
          Marohnić.

   Branch
       Now we are ready to get to work.  Consult the sprint beginner bug list and  select  an  execution  module
       whose __virtual__ function needs to be updated.  I'll select the alternatives module.

       Create a new branch off from master.  Be sure to name it something short and descriptive.

          $ git checkout -b virt_ret

   Edit
       Edit the file you have selected, and verify that the changes are correct.

          $ vim salt/modules/alternatives.py

          $ git commit -m 'modules.alternatives: __virtual__ return err msg'
          $ git show

       NOTE:
          If you need more room to describe the changes in your commit, run git commit (without the -m, message,
          option) and you will be presented with an editor.  The first line is the  commit  summary  and  should
          still  be  50  characters  or  less.   The  following  paragraphs you create are free form and will be
          preserved as part of the commit.

   Push
       Push your branch to your GitHub account.  You  will  likely  need  to  enter  your  GitHub  username  and
       password.

          $ git push origin virt_ret
          Username for 'https://github.com': <my_account>
          Password for 'https://<my_account>@github.com':

       NOTE:
          If  authentication over https does not work, you can alternatively setup ssh keys.  Once you have done
          this, you may need add the keys to your git repository configuration

              $ git config ssh.key ~/.ssh/<key_name>

          where <key_name> is the file name of the private key you created.

   Merge
       In your browser, navigate to the new pull request page on the saltstack/salt GitHub repository and  click
       on  compare across forks.  Select <my_account> from the list of head forks and the branch you are wanting
       to merge into master (virt_ret in this case).

       When you have finished reviewing the changes, click Create pull request.

       If your pull request contains only a single commit, the  title  and  comment  will  be  taken  from  that
       commit's  summary  and  message,  otherwise  the branch name is used for the title.  Edit these fields as
       necessary  and click Create pull request.

       NOTE:
          Although these instructions seem to be the official pull request procedure on github's  website,  here
          are two alternative methods that are simpler.

          • If  you  navigate  to your clone of salt, https://github.com/<my_account>/salt, depending on how old
            your branch is or how recently you pushed updates on it, you may  be  presented  with  a  button  to
            create a pull request with your branch.

          • I find it easiest to edit the following URL:

            https://github.com/saltstack/salt/compare/master...<my_account>:virt_ret

   Resources
       GitHub  offers  many  great  tutorials  on  various  aspects  of  the git- and GitHub-centric development
       workflow:

       https://help.github.com/

       There are many topics covered by the Salt Developer documentation:

       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/development/index.html

       The contributing documentation presents more details on specific contributing topics:

       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/development/contributing.html

   Modular Systems
       When first working with Salt, it is not always clear where all of the modular  components  are  and  what
       they  do. Salt comes loaded with more modular systems than many users are aware of, making Salt very easy
       to extend in many places.

       The most commonly used modular systems are execution modules and states. But the modular  systems  extend
       well  beyond  the  more easily exposed components and are often added to Salt to make the complete system
       more flexible.

   Developing New Modules
   Interactive Debugging
       Sometimes debugging with print() and extra logs sprinkled everywhere is not the best strategy.

       IPython is a helpful debug tool that has an interactive python  environment  which  can  be  embedded  in
       python programs.

       First the system will require IPython to be installed.

          # Debian
          apt-get install ipython

          # Arch Linux
          pacman -Syu ipython2

          # RHEL/CentOS (via EPEL)
          yum install python-ipython

       Now,  in  the  troubling python module, add the following line at a location where the debugger should be
       started:

          test = "test123"
          import IPython

          IPython.embed_kernel()

       After running a Salt command that hits that line, the following will show up in the log file:

          [CRITICAL] To connect another client to this kernel, use:
          [IPKernelApp] --existing kernel-31271.json

       Now on the system that invoked embed_kernel, run the following command from a shell:

          # NOTE: use ipython2 instead of ipython for Arch Linux
          ipython console --existing

       This provides a console that has access to all the vars and functions, and even supports tab-completion.

          print(test)
          test123

       To exit IPython and continue running Salt, press Ctrl-d to logout.

   The Salt Loader
       Salt's loader system is responsible for reading Special Module Contents and providing the context for the
       special Dunder Dictionaries. When modules developed for Salt's loader are imported directly,  the  dunder
       attributes won't be populated. You can use the Loader Context to work around this.

   Loader Context
       Given the following.

          # coolmod.py

          def utils_func_getter(name):
              return __utils__[name]

       You  would  not  be able import coolmod and run utils_func_getter because __utils__ would not be defined.
       You must run coolmod.utils_func_getter in the context of a loader.

          import coolmod
          import salt.loader

          opts = {}
          utils = salt.loader.utils(opts)
          with salt.loader.context(utils):
              func = coolmod.utils_func_getter("foo.bar")

   Special Module Contents
       These are things that may be defined by the module to influence various things.

   __virtual__
   __virtual_aliases__
   __virtualname__
   __init__
       Called before __virtual__()

   __proxyenabled__
       grains and proxy modules

       __proxyenabled__ as a list containing the names of the proxy types that the module supports.

   __load__
   __func_alias__
   __outputter__
   Dunder Dictionaries
       Salt provides several special "dunder" dictionaries as a convenience for Salt development.  These include
       __opts__, __context__, __salt__, and others. This document will describe each dictionary and detail where
       they exist and what information and/or functionality they provide.

       The following dunder dictionaries are always defined, but may be empty

       • __context____grains____pillar____opts__

   __opts__
       Defined in: All modules

       The __opts__ dictionary contains all of the options passed in the configuration file for  the  master  or
       minion.

       NOTE:
          In  many places in salt, instead of pulling raw data from the __opts__ dict, configuration data should
          be pulled from the salt get functions such as config.get

              __salt__["config.get"]("foo:bar")

          The get functions also allow for dict traversal via the : delimiter.   Consider  using  get  functions
          whenever using __opts__ or __pillar__ and __grains__ (when using grains for configuration data)

       The  configuration file data made available in the __opts__ dictionary is the configuration data relative
       to the running daemon.  If  the  modules  are  loaded  and  executed  by  the  master,  then  the  master
       configuration data is available, if the modules are executed by the minion, then the minion configuration
       is available. Any additional information passed into the respective configuration files is made available

   __salt__
       Defined  in:  Auth,  Beacons,  Engines,  Execution,  Executors,  Outputters, Pillars, Proxies, Renderers,
       Returners, Runners, SDB, SSH Wrappers, State, Thorium

       __salt__ contains the execution module functions. This allows for all functions to be called as they have
       been set up by the salt loader.

          __salt__["cmd.run"]("fdisk -l")
          __salt__["network.ip_addrs"]()

       NOTE:
          When used in runners or outputters,  __salt__  references  other  runner/outputter  modules,  and  not
          execution modules.

   __grains__
       Filled in for: Execution, Pillar, Renderer, Returner, SSH Wrapper, State.

       The __grains__ dictionary contains the grains data generated by the minion that is currently being worked
       with.  In  execution  modules,  state  modules and returners this is the grains of the minion running the
       calls, when generating the external pillar the __grains__ is the grains data from  the  minion  that  the
       pillar is being generated for.

       While __grains__ is defined for every module, it's only filled in for some.

   __pillar__
       Filled in for: Execution, Renderer, Returner, SSH Wrapper, State

       The __pillar__ dictionary contains the pillar for the respective minion.

       While __pillar__ is defined for every module, it's only filled in for some.

   __ext_pillar__
       Filled in for: Pillar

       The __ext_pillar__ dictionary contains the external pillar modules.

   __context__
       During  a  state  run  the  __context__  dictionary  persists  across all states that are run and then is
       destroyed when the state ends.

       When running an execution module __context__ persists across all module executions until the modules  are
       refreshed; such as when saltutil.sync_all or state.apply are executed.

       A  great place to see how to use __context__ is in the cp.py module in salt/modules/cp.py. The fileclient
       authenticates with the master when it is instantiated and then is used  to  copy  files  to  the  minion.
       Rather  than  create  a  new  fileclient  for  each  file  that is to be copied down, one instance of the
       fileclient is instantiated in the __context__ dictionary and is reused for each file. Here is an  example
       from salt/modules/cp.py:

          if not "cp.fileclient" in __context__:
              __context__["cp.fileclient"] = salt.fileclient.get_file_client(__opts__)

       NOTE:
          Because  __context__  may or may not have been destroyed, always be sure to check for the existence of
          the key in __context__ and generate the key before using it.

   Configuration Options
       A number of configuration options can affect the load process. This is a quick list of them:

       • autoload_dynamic_modules (Minion)

       • cython_enable (Minion, Master)

       • disable_modules (Minion)

       • disable_returners (Minion)

       • enable_zip_modules (Minion)

       • extension_modules (Master)

       • extmod_whitelist (Minion, Master)

       • extmod_blacklist (Minion, Master)

       • whitelist_modules (Minion)

       • grains_dirs (Minion)

       • module_dirs (Minion, Master)

       • outputter_dirs (Minion, Master)

       • providers (Minion)

       • render_dirs (Minion)

       • returner_dirs (Minion)

       • runner_dirs (Master)

       • states_dirs (Minion)

       • utils_dirs (Minion)

   Loading Modules
       Modules come primarily from several sources:

       • The Salt package itself

       • The Salt File Server

       • The extmods directory

       • Secondary packages installed

       Using one source to override another is not supported.

   The Salt Package
       Salt itself ships with a large number of modules. These are part of the Salt  package  itself  and  don't
       require  the  user  to  do  anything to use them. (Although a number of them have additional dependencies
       and/or configuration.)

   The Salt File Server
       The user may add modules by simply placing them in special directories in their fileserver.

       The name of the directory inside of the file server is the directory name prepended by  underscore,  such
       as:

       • _grains_modules_states

       Modules must be synced before they can be used. This can happen a few ways, discussed below.

       NOTE:
          Using saltenvs besides base may not work in all contexts.

   Sync Via States
       The  minion configuration contains an option autoload_dynamic_modules which defaults to True. This option
       makes the state system refresh all dynamic modules when states are run.  To  disable  this  behavior  set
       autoload_dynamic_modules to False in the minion config.

       When  dynamic  modules  are  autoloaded  via states, only the modules defined in the same saltenvs as the
       states currently being run.

   Sync Via the saltutil Module
       The saltutil module has a number of functions that can be used to sync all or specific  dynamic  modules.
       The  saltutil.sync_*  execution functions and runner functions can be used to sync modules to minions and
       the master, respectively.

   The extmods Directory
       Any  files  places  in  the  directory  set  by  extension_modules  settings  (minion,  master,   default
       /var/cache/salt/*/extmods)  can  also  be loaded as modules. Note that these directories are also used by
       the saltutil.sync_* functions (mentioned above) and files may be overwritten.

   Secondary Packages
       Third-party packages may also add modules to Salt if they are installed in the  same  system  and  Python
       environment as the Salt Minion or Master.

       This is done via setuptools entry points:

          setup(
              # ...
              entry_points={"salt.loader": ["module_dirs=spirofs.loader:module"]},
              # ...
          )

       Note  that these are not synced from the Salt Master to the Minions. They must be installed independently
       on each Minion.

   Module Types
       The specific names used by each loading method above are as follows.  See  sections  below  for  a  short
       summary of each of these systems.

       [1]  These modules cannot be loaded from the Salt File Server.

            NOTE:
          While  it is possible to import modules directly with the import statement, it is strongly recommended
          that the appropriate dunder dictionary is used to access them instead. This is  because  a  number  of
          factors affect module names, module selection, and module overloading.

   Auth
       The auth module system allows for external authentication routines to be easily added into Salt. The auth
       function  needs to be implemented to satisfy the requirements of an auth module. Use the pam module as an
       example.

       See External Authentication System for more about authentication in Salt.

   Beacon
       • Writing Beacons

       Beacons are polled by the Salt event loop to monitor non-salt processes. See Beacons for more information
       about the beacon system.

   Cache
       The minion cache is used by the master to store various information about minions. See Minion Data  Cache
       for more information.

   Cloud
       Cloud modules are backend implementations used by Salt Cloud.

   Engine
       Engines  are  open-ended  services managed by the Salt daemon (both master and minion). They may interact
       with event loop, call other modules, or a variety of  non-salt  tasks.  See  Salt  Engines  for  complete
       details.

   Execution
       Execution modules make up the core of the functionality used by Salt to interact with client systems. The
       execution  modules  create the core system management library used by all Salt systems, including states,
       which interact with minion systems.

       Execution modules are completely open ended in their execution. They can be used to do anything  required
       on  a  minion,  from installing packages to detecting information about the system. The only restraint in
       execution modules is that the defined functions always return a JSON serializable object.

   Executor
       Executors control how execution modules get called. The default is to just call them,  but  this  can  be
       customized.

   File Server
       The  file  server  module  system  is  used to create file server backends used by the Salt Master. These
       modules need to implement the functions used in the fileserver subsystem. Use  the  gitfs  module  as  an
       example.

       See File Server Backends for more information.

   Grains
       • writing-grains

       Grain  modules  define  extra  routines  to  populate  grains  data. All defined public functions will be
       executed and MUST return a Python dict object. The dict keys will be added to the grains  made  available
       to the minion.

       See Grains for more.

   Log Handler
       Log handlers allows the logs from salt (master or minion) to be sent to log aggregation systems.

   Matcher
       Matcher  modules  are  used  to define the minion targeting expressions.  For now, it is only possible to
       override the existing matchers (the required CLI plumbing for custom matchers is not implemented yet).

   Metaproxy
       Metaproxy is an abstraction layer above the existing proxy minion. It enables adding different  types  of
       proxy minions that can still load existing proxymodules.

   Net API
       Net API modules are the actual server implementation used by Salt API.

   Output
       The  output  modules  supply  the  outputter  system with routines to display data in the terminal. These
       modules are very simple and only require the output function to execute. The default system outputter  is
       the nested module.

   Pillar
   External Pillars
       Salt provides a mechanism for generating pillar data by calling external pillar interfaces. This document
       will describe an outline of an ext_pillar module.

   Location
       Salt expects to find your ext_pillar module in the same location where it looks for other python modules.
       If  the  extension_modules  option  in your Salt master configuration is set, Salt will look for a pillar
       directory under there and load all the  modules  it  finds.  Otherwise,  it  will  look  in  your  Python
       site-packages salt/pillar directory.

   Configuration
       The  external pillars that are called when a minion refreshes its pillars is controlled by the ext_pillar
       option in the Salt master configuration. You can pass a  single  argument,  a  list  of  arguments  or  a
       dictionary of arguments to your pillar:

          ext_pillar:
            - example_a: some argument
            - example_b:
              - argumentA
              - argumentB
            - example_c:
                keyA: valueA
                keyB: valueB

   The Module
   Imports and Logging
       Import modules your external pillar module needs. You should first include generic modules that come with
       stock Python:

          import logging

       And then start logging. This is an idiomatic way of setting up logging in Salt:

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

       Finally,  load  modules that are specific to what you are doing. You should catch import errors and set a
       flag that the __virtual__ function can use later.

          try:
              import weird_thing

              EXAMPLE_A_LOADED = True
          except ImportError:
              EXAMPLE_A_LOADED = False

   Options
       If you define an __opts__ dictionary, it will be merged  into  the  __opts__  dictionary  handed  to  the
       ext_pillar  function later. This is a good place to put default configuration items. The convention is to
       name things modulename.option.

          __opts__ = {"example_a.someconfig": 137}

   Initialization
       If you define an __init__ function, it will be called with the following signature:

          def __init__(__opts__):
              # Do init work here
              ...

       Note: The __init__ function is ran every time a particular  minion  causes  the  external  pillar  to  be
       called,  so don't put heavy initialization code here.  The __init__ functionality is a side-effect of the
       Salt loader, so it may not be as useful in pillars as it is in other Salt items.

   __virtual__
       If you define a __virtual__ function, you can control whether or  not  this  module  is  visible.  If  it
       returns  False  then  Salt ignores this module. If it returns a string, then that string will be how Salt
       identifies this external pillar in its ext_pillar configuration.  If  you're  not  renaming  the  module,
       simply  return  True  in  the  __virtual__ function, which is the same as if this function did not exist,
       then, the name Salt's ext_pillar will use to identify this module is its conventional name in Python.

       This is useful to write modules that can be installed on all Salt masters, but will only be visible if  a
       particular piece of software your module requires is installed.

          # This external pillar will be known as `example_a`
          def __virtual__():
              if EXAMPLE_A_LOADED:
                  return True
              return False

          # This external pillar will be known as `something_else`
          __virtualname__ = "something_else"

          def __virtual__():
              if EXAMPLE_A_LOADED:
                  return __virtualname__
              return False

   ext_pillar
       This  is  where  the real work of an external pillar is done. If this module is active and has a function
       called ext_pillar, whenever a minion updates its pillar this function is called.

       How it is called depends on how it is configured in the Salt master configuration. The first argument  is
       always  the  current pillar dictionary, this contains pillar items that have already been added, starting
       with the data from pillar_roots, and then from any already-ran external pillars.

       Using our example above:

          ext_pillar(id, pillar, "some argument")  # example_a
          ext_pillar(id, pillar, "argumentA", "argumentB")  # example_b
          ext_pillar(id, pillar, keyA="valueA", keyB="valueB")  # example_c

       In the example_a case, pillar will contain the items from the pillar_roots,  in  example_b  pillar   will
       contain  that plus the items added by example_a, and in example_c pillar will contain that plus the items
       added by example_b. In all three cases, id will contain the ID of the minion making the pillar request.

       This function should return a dictionary, the contents of which are merged  in  with  all  of  the  other
       pillars  and  returned to the minion. Note: this function is called once for each minion that fetches its
       pillar data.

          def ext_pillar(minion_id, pillar, *args, **kwargs):

              my_pillar = {"external_pillar": {}}

              my_pillar["external_pillar"] = get_external_pillar_dictionary()

              return my_pillar

       You can call pillar  with  the  dictionary's  top  name  to  retrieve  its  data.   From  above  example,
       'external_pillar' is the top dictionary name. Therefore:

          salt '*' pillar.get external_pillar

       You  shouldn't  just  add  items to pillar and return that, since that will cause Salt to merge data that
       already exists. Rather, just return the items you are adding or changing. You could, however, use  pillar
       in your module to make some decision based on pillar data that already exists.

       This function has access to some useful globals:

       __opts__
              A  dictionary  of  mostly Salt configuration options. If you had an __opts__ dictionary defined in
              your module, those values will be included.

       __salt__
              A dictionary of Salt module functions, useful so  you  don't  have  to  duplicate  functions  that
              already exist. E.g.  __salt__['cmd.run']( 'ls -l' ) Note, runs on the master

       __grains__
              A dictionary of the grains of the minion making this pillar call.

   Example configuration
       As  an example, if you wanted to add external pillar via the cmd_json external pillar, add something like
       this to your master config:

          ext_pillar:
            - cmd_json: 'echo {\"arg\":\"value\"}'

   Reminder
       Just as with traditional pillars, external pillars must be refreshed in order  for  minions  to  see  any
       fresh data:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       Used to define optional external pillar systems. The pillar generated via the filesystem pillar is passed
       into  external  pillars.  This  is commonly used as a bridge to database data for pillar, but is also the
       backend to the libvirt state used to generate and sign libvirt certificates on the fly.

   Proxy
       Proxy Minions are a way to manage devices that cannot run a full minion directly.

   Renderers
       Renderers are the system used to render sls files into salt highdata for the state compiler. They can  be
       as simple as the py renderer and as complex as stateconf and pydsl.

   Returners
       Returners  are  used  to  send data from minions to external sources, commonly databases. A full returner
       will implement all routines to be supported as an external job  cache.  Use  the  redis  returner  as  an
       example.

   Roster
       The Roster system is used by Salt SSH to enumerate devices.

   Runners
       Runners are purely master-side execution sequences.

   SDB
       • Writing SDB Modules

       SDB is a way to store data that's not associated with a minion. See Storing Data in Other Databases.

   Serializer
       Primarily used with file.serialize.

   State
       State modules are used to define the state interfaces used by Salt States.  These modules are restrictive
       in that they must follow a number of rules to function properly.

       NOTE:
          State  modules  define the available routines in sls files. If calling an execution module directly is
          desired, take a look at the module state.

   SSH Wrapper
   SSH Wrapper
   Salt-SSH Background
       Salt-SSH works by creating a tar ball of salt, a bunch of python modules, and a  generated  short  minion
       config.  It  then  copies  this  onto  the  destination host over ssh, then uses that host's local python
       install to run salt-client --local with any requested modules.   It  does  not  automatically  copy  over
       states  or  cache  files  and  since  it  is  uses  a  local  file_client, modules that rely on cp.cache*
       functionality do not work.

   SSH Wrapper modules
       To support cp modules or other functionality which might not otherwise work in the remote environment,  a
       wrapper module can be created. These modules are run from the salt-master initiating the salt-ssh command
       and  can  include  logic  to  support  the  needed  functionality.  SSH  Wrapper  modules  are located in
       /salt/client/ssh/wrapper/ and are named the same as the execution module being  extended.  Any  functions
       defined inside of the wrapper module are called from the salt-ssh module.function argument command rather
       than executing on the minion.

   State Module example
       Running  salt  states  on  an  salt-ssh minion, obviously requires the state files themselves. To support
       this, a state module wrapper script exists at  salt/client/ssh/wrapper/state.py,  and  includes  standard
       state  functions  like  apply,  sls, and highstate. When executing salt-ssh minion state.highstate, these
       wrapper functions are used and include the logic  to  walk  the  low_state  output  for  that  minion  to
       determine  files  used,  gather needed files, tar them together, transfer the tar file to the minion over
       ssh, and run a state on the ssh minion. This state then extracts the tar file, applies the needed  states
       and data, and cleans up the transferred files.

   Wrapper Handling
       From  the  wrapper  script any invocations of __salt__['some.module']() do not run on the master which is
       running the wrapper, but instead magically are invoked on the minion over ssh.  Should the function being
       called exist in the wrapper, the wrapper function will be used instead.

       One way of supporting this workflow may be to create a wrapper function which performs  the  needed  file
       copy  operations.  Now  that  files  are resident on the ssh minion, the next step is to run the original
       execution module function. But since that function name was already overridden by the wrapper, a function
       alias can be created in the original execution module, which can then be called from the wrapper.

   Example
       The  saltcheck  module  needs  sls  and  tst  files  on  the  minion  to  function.  The  invocation   of
       saltcheck.run_state_tests  is  run  from the wrapper module, and is responsible for performing the needed
       file  copy.  The  saltcheck  execution  module  includes  an  alias   line   of   run_state_tests_ssh   =
       salt.utils.functools.alias_function(run_state_tests,  'run_state_tests_ssh')  which  creates  an alias of
       run_state_tests with the name run_state_tests_ssh. At the end of  the  run_state_tests  function  in  the
       wrapper  module,  it then calls __salt__['saltcheck.run_state_tests_ssh'](). Since this function does not
       exist in the wrapper script, the call is made on the remote minion, which then having the  needed  files,
       runs as expected.

   Thorium
       Modules for use in the Thorium event reactor.

   Tokens
       Token stores for External Authentication. See the salt.tokens docstring for details.

       NOTE:
          The runner to load tokens modules is saltutil.sync_eauth_tokens.

   Tops
       Tops modules are used to convert external data sources into top file data for the state system.

   Util
       Just utility modules to use with other modules via __utils__ (see Dunder Dictionaries).

   Wheel
       The wheel system is used to manage master side management routines. These routines are primarily intended
       for the API to enable master configuration.

   Salt Extend
       salt-extend is a templating tool for extending SaltStack. If you're looking to add a module to SaltStack,
       then the salt-extend utility can guide you through the process.

       You  can  use  Salt  Extend  to quickly create templated modules for adding new behaviours to some of the
       module subsystems within Salt.

       Salt Extend takes a template directory and merges it into a SaltStack source code directory.

   Command line usage
       See salt-extend

   Choosing a template
       The following templates are available:

   module
       Creates a new execution module within salt/modules/{{module_name}}.py

   module_unit
       Creates a new execution module unit test suite within tests/unit/modules/test_{{module_name}}.py

   state
       Creates a new state module within salt/states/{{module_name}}.py

   state_unit
       Creates a new state module unit test suite within tests/unit/states/test_{{module_name}}.py

   Adding templates
       1. Create a directory under <src>/templates

       2. Create a file template.yml containing properties for

          • description - a description of the template

          • questions - a collection of additional questions to ask the user, the name of the item will be  used
            as the key in the context dictionary within the jinja template.

            • question - The question to ask the user, as a string

            • default  -  (optional) the default value, can contain Jinja2 template syntax and has access to the
              default context properties

   Example template.yml
          description: "Execution module"
          questions:
              depending_libraries:
                  question: "What libraries does this module depend upon?"
              virtual_name:
                  question: "What module virtual name to use?"
                  default: "{{module_name}}"

       3. Create the files within <src>/templates/<your template> to match the target

       NOTE:
          File names can contain Jinja 2 template syntax, e.g. '{{module_name}}.py}}'

   Example file in the template directory
          print("Hello {{module_name}}")
          __virtual__ = "{{__virtual_name__}}"

   Default context properties
       The default context provides the following properties

       • description - A description of the template

       • short_description - A short description of the module as entered by the user

       • version - The version name of the next release

       • module_name - The module name as entered by the user

       • release_date - The current date in the format YYYY-MM-DDyear - The current year in the format YYYY

       As well as any additional properties entered from the questions section of template.yml

   API

   Salt's Test Suite
       Salt comes with a powerful integration and unit test suite  allowing  for  the  fully  automated  run  of
       integration and/or unit tests from a single interface. It uses the combination of pytest, nox and Kitchen
       Salt  to  run  these  tests. Nox is used to manage all of the test python dependencies.  When you run the
       test runner with nox, you will be installing the same python dependencies that we use  to  run  our  test
       suite  on PRs and branch tests.  Kitchen Salt is used to spin up our virtual machines based off of golden
       images. These virtual machines use the salt-jenkins sls states to configure any system dependencies.

       To learn the basics of how Salt's test suite works, be sure to  check  out  the  Salt's  Test  Suite:  An
       Introduction tutorial.

   Nox
       Nox  is  used  to manage all of the python dependencies used in the test suite and spins up the different
       nox sessions. You can look at  the  noxfile.py  in  the  salt  repo  to  view  all  of  the  current  nox
       configurations.  In that file you will notice various nox sessions. When creating each of these sessions,
       nox will create a virtualenv with the specified interpreter. Once the virtualenv is created it will  also
       install all of the required python dependencies required for that session and run the tests.

       For  example  if you want to run all of the tests using the zeromq transport on python3 you would need to
       specify the zeromq transport and python3.

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       To run all the tests but on the tcp transport, you would need to specify the tcp session.

          nox -e 'pytest-tcp-3(coverage=False)'

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-tcp-3(coverage=False)'

       You can view all available sessions by running:

          nox --list-sessions

       For the most part you will only need nox to run the test suite, as this tool will install the exact  same
       python dependencies we use to run on our test runs.  The exception to this is when a system dependency is
       required,  for  example  mysql.   These  system dependencies are installed with sls states managed in the
       salt-jenkins repo or you can manually install the dependency yourself.

   System Dependencies
       The system dependencies are installed from the salt-jenkins repo. The  golden-images-provision  state  is
       what  is run to determine what dependencies to install on which platform.  We run this state only when we
       want to update our current VM images with new dependencies.

   Kitchen Salt
       We also use Kitchen Salt to spin up the VM's used for testing. You  can  view  the  kitchen-salt  getting
       started  for instructions on how to install and set it up.  Kitchen Salt uses Test Kitchen to spin up the
       VM or container in the configured provider. Once the VM is spun up, Kitchen Salt can install salt and run
       a particular set of states. In the case of our branch and PR tests we create "Golden  Images"  which  run
       the  salt-jenkins  states  and  install salt system dependencies beforehand. We only update these "Golden
       Images" when we need to upgrade or install a system dependency. You can  view  the  kitchen-salt  jenkins
       setup  docs  for  instructions on how to set up Kitchen Salt similar to the jenkins environment we use to
       run branch and PR tests.

   Test Directory Structure
       Salt's test suite is located in the tests/ directory in the root of Salt's codebase.

       With the migration to PyTest, Salt has created a separate directory for tests  that  are  written  taking
       advantage of the full pottential of PyTest. These are located under tests/pytests.

       As for the old test suite, it is divided into two main groups:

       • Integration Tests

       • Unit Tests

       Within  each  of  these  groups,  the  directory  structure  roughly  mirrors the structure of Salt's own
       codebase. Notice that there are directories for states,  modules,  runners,  output,  and  more  in  each
       testing group.

       The files that are housed in the modules directory of either the unit or the integration testing factions
       contain respective integration or unit test files for Salt execution modules.

       The  PyTest only tests under tests/pytests should, more or less, follow the same grouping as the old test
       suite.

   Integration Tests
       The Integration section of Salt's test suite start up a number of Salt daemons to test functionality in a
       live environment. These daemons include two Salt Masters, one Syndic, and two Minions.  This  allows  the
       Syndic  interface  to  be  tested  and Master/Minion communication to be verified. All of the integration
       tests are executed as live Salt commands sent through the started daemons.

       Integration tests are particularly good at testing modules,  states,  and  shell  commands,  among  other
       segments  of  Salt's  ecosystem. By utilizing the integration test daemons, integration tests are easy to
       write. They are also SaltStack's generally preferred method of adding new tests.

       The discussion in the Integration vs. Unit section of the testing tutorial is beneficial in learning  why
       you  might  want  to write integration tests vs. unit tests. Both testing arenas add value to Salt's test
       suite and you should consider adding both types of tests if possible and appropriate when contributing to
       Salt.

       • Integration Test Documentation

   Unit Tests
       Unit tests do not  spin  up  any  Salt  daemons,  but  instead  find  their  value  in  testing  singular
       implementations  of  individual  functions.  Instead of testing against specific interactions, unit tests
       should be used to test a function's logic as well as any return or raises statements.   Unit  tests  also
       rely heavily on mocking external resources.

       The  discussion in the Integration vs. Unit section of the testing tutorial is useful in determining when
       you should consider writing unit tests instead of, or in addition to, integration tests when contributing
       to Salt.

       • Unit Test Documentation

   Running The Tests
       There is only one requirement to install, to quickly get started running salt's test suite: nox.

          pip install nox

       Once this requirement is installed, you can use the nox binary to run all of the tests included in Salt's
       test suite:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       For more information about options you can pass the test runner, see the --help option:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --help

   Running Test Subsections
       Instead of running the entire test suite all at once, which can take a long time, there are several  ways
       to run only specific groups of tests or individual tests:

       • Run  unit  tests  only:  nox  -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/, using the deprecated
         runtests.py the command would be nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --unit-tests

       • Run  unit  and  integration   tests   for   states:   nox   -e   'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'   --
         tests/unit/states/ tests/integration/states/, using the deprecated runtests.py the command would be nox
         -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --state-tests

       • Run   integration   tests  for  an  individual  module:  nox  -e  'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'  --
         tests/integration/modules/test_virt.py, using the deprecated runtests.py the command would  be  nox  -e
         'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- -n integration.modules.test_virt

       • Run   unit   tests   for   an   individual   module:   nox   -e   'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'  --
         tests/unit/modules/test_virt.py,  using  the  deprecated  runtests.py  the  command  would  be  nox  -e
         'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- -n unit.modules.test_virt

       • Run   an   individual   test   by   using   the   class   and  test  name  (this  example  is  for  the
         test_default_kvm_profile    test    in    the    tests/integration/module/test_virt.py):     nox     -e
         'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'                                                                    --
         tests/integration/modules/test_virt.py::VirtTest::test_default_kvm_profile,   using   the    deprecated
         runtests.py    the    command    would    be   nox   -e   'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'   --   -n
         integration.modules.test_virt.VirtTest.test_default_kvm_profile

       For more specific examples of how to run various test subsections or individual  tests,  please  see  the
       pytest  documentation  on  how  to run specific tests or the Running Specific Tests section of the Salt's
       Test Suite: An Introduction tutorial.

   Running Unit Tests Without Integration Test Daemons
       Since the unit tests do not require a master or minion to execute, it is often useful to be able  to  run
       unit tests individually, or as a whole group, without having to start up the integration testing daemons.
       Starting  up  the  master, minion, and syndic daemons takes a lot of time before the tests can even start
       running and is unnecessary to run unit tests. To run unit tests without  invoking  the  integration  test
       daemons, simply add the unit directory as an argument:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --unit-tests

       All  of  the other options to run individual tests, entire classes of tests, or entire test modules still
       apply.

   Running Destructive Integration Tests
       Salt is used to change the settings and  behavior  of  systems.  In  order  to  effectively  test  Salt's
       functionality,  some integration tests are written to make actual changes to the underlying system. These
       tests are referred to as "destructive tests". Some examples of  destructive  tests  are  changes  may  be
       testing  the  addition  of  a user or installing packages. By default, destructive tests are disabled and
       will be skipped.

       Generally, destructive tests should clean up after themselves by attempting to restore the system to  its
       original  state.  For  instance, if a new user is created during a test, the user should be deleted after
       the related test(s) have completed. However, no guarantees are made  that  test  clean-up  will  complete
       successfully. Therefore, running destructive tests should be done with caution.

       NOTE:
          Running  destructive  tests  will  change the underlying system.  Use caution when running destructive
          tests.

       To run tests marked as destructive, set the --run-destructive flag:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --run-destructive

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --run-destructive

   Running Cloud Provider Tests
       Salt's testing suite also includes integration tests to assess the successful creation  and  deletion  of
       cloud instances using Salt-Cloud for providers supported by Salt-Cloud.

       The  cloud  provider  tests  are  off  by  default  and  run  on  sample  configuration files provided in
       tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.providers.d/.  In  order  to  run  the  cloud  provider  tests,  valid
       credentials,  which  differ per provider, must be supplied. Each credential item that must be supplied is
       indicated by an empty string value and should be edited  by  the  user  before  running  the  tests.  For
       example,  DigitalOcean  requires  a  client  key  and an api key to operate. Therefore, the default cloud
       provider configuration file for DigitalOcean looks like this:

          digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            client_key: ''
            api_key: ''
            location: New York 1

       As indicated by the empty string values, the client_key and the api_key must be provided:

          digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            client_key: wFGEwgregeqw3435gDger
            api_key: GDE43t43REGTrkilg43934t34qT43t4dgegerGEgg
            location: New York 1

       NOTE:
          When providing credential information in cloud provider configuration files, do not include the single
          quotes.

       Once all of the valid credentials for the cloud provider have been supplied, the cloud provider tests can
       be run by setting the --cloud-provider-tests flag:

          nox -e 'pytest-cloud-3(coverage=False)'

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-cloud-3(coverage=False)'

   Automated Test Runs
       SaltStack maintains a Jenkins server to allow for the execution of tests across supported platforms.  The
       tests  executed  from Salt's Jenkins server create fresh virtual machines for each test run, then execute
       destructive tests on the new, clean virtual machine.

       SaltStack's Jenkins server continuously runs the entire test suite, including destructive  tests,  on  an
       array of various supported operating systems throughout the day. Each actively supported branch of Salt's
       repository runs the tests located in the respective branch's code. Each set of branch tests also includes
       a  pylint  run.  These  branch tests help ensure the viability of Salt code at any given point in time as
       pull requests are merged into branches throughout the day.

       In addition to branch tests, SaltStack's Jenkins server also runs tests  on  pull  requests.  These  pull
       request  tests  include  a smaller set of virtual machines that run on the branch tests. The pull request
       tests, like the branch tests, include a pylint test as well.

       When a pull request is submitted to Salt's repository on GitHub, the suite  of  pull  request  tests  are
       started  by  Jenkins.  These  tests  are  used to gauge the pull request's viability to merge into Salt's
       codebase. If these initial tests pass, the pull request can then merged into the Salt branch  by  one  of
       Salt's  core developers, pending their discretion. If the initial tests fail, core developers may request
       changes to the pull request. If the failure is unrelated to the changes in question, core developers  may
       merge the pull request despite the initial failure.

       As soon as the pull request is merged, the changes will be added to the next branch test run on Jenkins.

       For a full list of currently running test environments, go to https://jenkins.saltproject.io.

   Using Salt-Cloud on Jenkins
       For  testing  Salt  on  Jenkins,  SaltStack uses Salt-Cloud to spin up virtual machines. The script using
       Salt-Cloud    to    accomplish    this    is    open    source     and     can     be     found     here:
       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/tests/jenkins.py

   Writing Tests
       The  salt  testing infrastructure is divided into two classes of tests, integration tests and unit tests.
       These terms may be defined differently in other contexts, but for Salt they are defined this way:

       • Unit Test: Tests which validate isolated code blocks and do not require  external  interfaces  such  as
         salt-call or any of the salt daemons.

       • Integration Test: Tests which validate externally accessible features.

       Salt testing uses unittest2 from the python standard library and MagicMock.

       • Writing integration tests

       • Writing unit tests

   Naming Conventions
       Any  function  in either integration test files or unit test files that is doing the actual testing, such
       as functions containing assertions, must start with test_:

          def test_user_present(self):
              ...

       When functions in test files are not prepended with test_, the function acts as a normal, helper function
       and is not run as a test by the test suite.

   Submitting New Tests
       Which branch of the Salt codebase should new tests be written against? The location of  where  new  tests
       should be submitted depends largely on the reason you're writing the tests.

   Tests for New Features
       If you are adding new functionality to Salt, please write the tests for this new feature in the same pull
       request as the new feature. New features should always be submitted to the master branch.

       If  you have already submitted the new feature, but did not write tests in the original pull request that
       has already been merged, please feel free to submit a new pull request containing tests. If  the  feature
       was recently added to Salt's master branch, then the tests should be added there as well. However, if the
       feature  was added to master some time ago and is already present in one or more release branches, please
       refer to the Tests for Entire Files or Functions section below for more details  about  where  to  submit
       tests for functions or files that do not already have tests.

   Tests to Accompany a Bugfix
       If you are writing tests for code that fixes a bug in Salt, tests will be required before merging the PR.
       A great option for most bugfixes is to adopt a TDD style approach:

       • reproduce the issue

       • write a test that exhibits the behavior

       • write the bugfix

       This helps ensure that known issues are not reintroduced into the codebase.

   Tests for Entire Files or Functions
       Sometimes  entire files in Salt are completely untested. If you are writing tests for a file that doesn't
       have any tests written for it, write your  test  against  the  earliest  supported  release  branch  that
       contains the file or function you're testing.

       Once  your tests are submitted in a pull request and is merged into the branch in question, the tests you
       wrote will be merged-forward by SaltStack core engineers and the new tests will propagate  to  the  newer
       release  branches.  That way the tests you wrote will apply to all current and relevant release branches,
       and not just the master branch, for example. This methodology will help protect  against  regressions  on
       older files in Salt's codebase.

       There  may  be  times  when the tests you write against an older branch fail in the merge-forward process
       because functionality has changed in newer release branches.  In these cases, a Salt core  developer  may
       reach out to you for advice on the tests in question if the path forward is unclear.

       NOTE:
          If  tests  are written against a file in an older release branch and then merged forward, there may be
          new functionality in the file that is present in the new release branch that is untested.It  would  be
          wise  to  see  if  new functionality could use additional testing once the test file has propagated to
          newer release branches.

   Module/Global Level Variables
       If you need access to module or global level variables, please use a pytest fixture. The  use  of  module
       and  global  variables  can  introduce  mutable  global objects and increases processing time because all
       globals are evaluated when collecting tests. If there is a use case where you cannot use  a  fixture  and
       you  are using a type of string, integer, or tuple you can use global/module level variables. Any mutable
       types such as lists and dictionaries must use pytest fixtures. For an example, if all of your tests  need
       access to a string variable:

          FOO = "bar"

          def test_foo_bar():
              assert FOO == "bar"

          def test_foo_not():
              assert not FOO == "foo"

       We recommend using a pytest fixture:

          import pytest

          @pytest.fixture()
          def foo():
              return "bar"

          def test_foo_bar(foo):
              assert foo == "bar"

          def test_foo_not(foo):
              assert not foo == "foo"

       If  you  need  a  class  to  mock something, it can be defined at the global scope, but it should only be
       initialized on the fixture:

          class Foo:
              def __init__(self):
                  self.bar = True

          @pytest.fixture
          def foo():
              return Foo()

   Test Helpers
       Several Salt-specific helpers are available. A full list is available by inspecting functions exported in
       tests.support.helpers.

       @expensiveTest -- Designates a test which typically requires a relatively costly external resource,  like
       a cloud virtual machine. This decorator is not normally used by developers outside of the Salt core team.

       @destructiveTest -- Marks a test as potentially destructive. It will not be run by the test runner unless
       the -run-destructive test is expressly passed.

       @requires_network  --  Requires  a  network connection for the test to operate successfully. If a network
       connection is not detected, the test will not run.

       @requires_salt_modules -- Requires all the modules in a list of modules in  order  for  the  test  to  be
       executed. Otherwise, the test is skipped.

       @requires_system_grains  --  Loads and passes the grains on the system as an keyword argument to the test
       function with the name grains.

       @skip_if_binaries_missing(['list', 'of', 'binaries']) -- If called from inside a test, the test  will  be
       skipped if the binaries are not all present on the system.

       @skip_if_not_root -- If the test is not executed as root, it will be skipped.

       @with_system_user   --  Creates  and  optionally  destroys  a  system  user  within  a  test  case.   See
       implementation details in tests.support.helpers for details.

       @with_system_group --  Creates  and  optionally  destroys  a  system  group  within  a  test  case.   See
       implementation details in tests.support.helpers for details.

       @with_system_user_and_group  --  Creates  and  optionally  destroys a system user and group within a test
       case.  See implementation details in tests.support.helpers for details.

   Integration Tests
       The Salt integration tests come with a number of classes and methods which allow  for  components  to  be
       easily  tested.  These classes are generally inherited from and provide specific methods for hooking into
       the running integration test environment created by the integration tests.

       It is noteworthy that since integration tests validate  against  a  running  environment  that  they  are
       generally the preferred means to write tests.

       The  integration  system  is  all located under tests/integration in the Salt source tree. Each directory
       within tests/integration  corresponds  to  a  directory  in  Salt's  tree  structure.  For  example,  the
       integration  tests  for  the  test.py  Salt  module  that is located in salt/modules should also be named
       test.py and reside in tests/integration/modules.

   Preparing to Write Integration Tests
       This guide assumes that your Salt development environment is already configured and that you have a basic
       understanding of contributing to the Salt codebase.  If you're unfamiliar with either  of  these  topics,
       please refer to the Installing Salt for Development and the Contributing pages, respectively.

       This documentation also assumes that you have an understanding of how to run Salt's test suite, including
       running the test subsections, and running a single integration test file, class, or individual test.

   Best Practices
       Integration tests should be written to the following specifications.

   What to Test?
       Since integration tests are used to validate against a running Salt environment, integration tests should
       be written with the Salt components, and their various interactions, in mind.

       • Isolate testing functionality. Don't rely on the pass or failure of other, separate tests.

       • Individual tests should test against a single behavior.

       • Since  it  occasionally  takes  some effort to "set up" an individual test, it may be necessary to call
         several functions within a single test. However, be sure that once the work has been done to set  up  a
         test, make sure you are clear about the functionality that is being tested.

   Naming Conventions
       Test  names  and docstrings should indicate what functionality is being tested.  Test functions are named
       test_<fcn>_<test-name> where <fcn> is the function being tested and <test-name>  describes  the  behavior
       being tested.

       In order for integration tests to get picked up during a run of the test suite, each individual test must
       be prepended with the test_ naming syntax, as described above.

       If  a  function  does  not  start  with  test_,  then the function acts as a "normal" function and is not
       considered a testing function. It will not be included in the test run or testing output.

   The setUp and tearDown Functions
       There are two special functions that can be utilized in the integration side of Salt's test suite:  setUp
       and tearDown. While these functions are not required in all test files, there are many examples in Salt's
       integration test suite illustrating the broad usefulness of each function.

       The  setUp  function is used to set up any repetitive or useful tasks that the tests in a test class need
       before running. For example, any of the mac_* integration tests should only run on  macOS  machines.  The
       setUp  function  can  be  used to test for the presence of the Darwin kernel. If the Darwin kernel is not
       present, then the test should be skipped.

          def setUp(self):
              """
              Sets up test requirements
              """
              os_grain = self.run_function("grains.item", ["kernel"])
              if os_grain["kernel"] not in "Darwin":
                  self.skipTest("Test not applicable to '{kernel}' kernel".format(**os_grain))

       The setUp function can be used for many things. The above code  snippet  is  only  one  example.  Another
       example  might  be to ensure that a particular setting is present before running tests that would require
       the setting.

       The tearDown function is used to clean up after any tests. This function  is  useful  for  restoring  any
       settings that might have been changed during the test run.

       NOTE:
          The  setUp  and tearDown functions run before and after each test in the test class that the setUp and
          tearDown functions are defined.

       Be sure to read the Destructive vs Non-Destructive Tests section  when  using  any  kind  of  destructive
       functions  that  might  alter  the system running the test suite in either the setUp or tearDown function
       definitions.

   Testing Order
       The test functions within a test class do not run in the order they were  defined,  but  instead  run  in
       lexicographical order.

       Note  that  if  any setUp or tearDown functions are defined in the class, those functions will run before
       (for setUp) or after (for tearDown) each test case.

   Integration Classes
       The integration classes are located in tests/integration/__init__.py and can be extended  therein.  There
       are four classes available to extend:

       • ModuleCaseShellCaseSSHCaseSyndicCase

   ModuleCase
       Used  to  define  executions  run  via  the  master to minions and to call single modules and states. The
       available testing functions are:

   run_function
       Run a single salt function and condition the return down to match the behavior of the raw function  call.
       This will run the command and only return the results from a single minion to verify.

   run_state
       Run the state.single command and return the state return structure.

   minion_run
       Run  a single salt function on the 'minion' target and condition the return down to match the behavior of
       the raw function call.

   ShellCase
       Shell out to the scripts which ship with Salt. The testing functions are:

   run_cp
       Execute salt-cp. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_call
       Execute salt-call, pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_cloud
       Execute the salt-cloud command. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_key
       Execute the salt-key command. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_run
       Execute the salt-run command. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_run_plus
       Execute the runner function the and return the return data and output in a dict

   run_salt
       Execute the salt command. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_script
       Execute a salt script with the given argument string.

   run_ssh
       Execute the salt-ssh. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   SSHCase
       Used to execute remote commands via salt-ssh. The available methods are as follows:

   run_function
       Run a single salt function via salt-ssh and condition the return down to match the behavior  of  the  raw
       function call. This will run the command and only return the results from a single minion to verify.

   SyndicCase
       Used  to  execute  remote  commands  via a syndic and is only used to verify the capabilities of the Salt
       Syndic. The available methods are as follows:

   run_function
       Run a single salt function and condition the return down to match the behavior of the raw function  call.
       This will run the command and only return the results from a single minion to verify.

   Examples
       The  following sections define simple integration tests present in Salt's integration test suite for each
       type of testing class.

   Module Example via ModuleCase Class
       Import the integration module, this module is already added to the python path  by  the  test  execution.
       Inherit from the integration.ModuleCase class.

       Now the workhorse method run_function can be used to test a module:

          import os
          from tests.support.case import ModuleCase

          class TestModuleTest(ModuleCase):
              """
              Validate the test module
              """

              def test_ping(self):
                  """
                  test.ping
                  """
                  self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

              def test_echo(self):
                  """
                  test.echo
                  """
                  self.assertEqual(self.run_function("test.echo", ["text"]), "text")

       The  fist  example  illustrates the testing master issuing a test.ping call to a testing minion. The test
       asserts that the minion returned with a True value to the master from the test.ping call.

       The second example similarly verifies that the minion  executed  the  test.echo  command  with  the  text
       argument.  The  assertEqual  call  maintains  that  the  minion ran the function and returned the data as
       expected to the master.

   Shell Example via ShellCase
       Validating the shell commands can be done via shell tests:

          import sys
          import shutil
          import tempfile

          from tests.support.case import ShellCase

          class KeyTest(ShellCase):
              """
              Test salt-key script
              """

              _call_binary_ = "salt-key"

              def test_list(self):
                  """
                  test salt-key -L
                  """
                  data = self.run_key("-L")
                  expect = [
                      "Unaccepted Keys:",
                      "Accepted Keys:",
                      "minion",
                      "sub_minion",
                      "Rejected:",
                      "",
                  ]
                  self.assertEqual(data, expect)

       This example verifies that the salt-key command executes and returns as expected by  making  use  of  the
       run_key method.

   SSH Example via SSHCase
       Testing salt-ssh functionality can be done using the SSHCase test class:

          from tests.support.case import SSHCase

          class SSHGrainsTest(SSHCase):
              """
              Test salt-ssh grains functionality
              Depend on proper environment set by integration.SSHCase class
              """

              def test_grains_id(self):
                  """
                  Test salt-ssh grains id work for localhost.
                  """
                  cmd = self.run_function("grains.get", ["id"])
                  self.assertEqual(cmd, "localhost")

   Testing Event System via SaltMinionEventAssertsMixin
       The  fundamentially  asynchronous  nature  of  Salt  makes  testing  the  event  system a challenge.  The
       SaltMinionEventAssertsMixin provides a facility for testing that events were received on a  minion  event
       bus.

          import salt.utils.event
          from tests.support.mixins import SaltEventAssertsMixin

          class TestEvent(SaltEventAssertsMixin):
              """
              Example test of firing an event and receiving it
              """

              def test_event(self):
                  e = salt.utils.event.get_event(
                      "minion", sock_dir=self.minion_opts["sock_dir"], opts=self.minion_opts
                  )

                  e.fire_event({"a": "b"}, "/test_event")

                  self.assertMinionEventReceived({"a": "b"})

   Syndic Example via SyndicCase
       Testing Salt's Syndic can be done via the SyndicCase test class:

          from tests.support.case import SyndicCase

          class TestSyndic(SyndicCase):
              """
              Validate the syndic interface by testing the test module
              """

              def test_ping(self):
                  """
                  test.ping
                  """
                  self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

       This  example  verifies  that a test.ping command is issued from the testing master, is passed through to
       the testing syndic, down to the minion, and back up again by using the run_function located with  in  the
       SyndicCase test class.

   Integration Test Files
       Since  using  Salt  largely  involves  configuring  states,  editing files, and changing system data, the
       integration test suite contains a directory named files to aid in testing functions that  require  files.
       Various  Salt  integration tests use these example files to test against instead of altering system files
       and data.

       Each directory within tests/integration/files contain files that accomplish different tasks, based on the
       needs of the integration tests using those files.  For example, tests/integration/files/ssh  is  used  to
       bootstrap  the  test  runner  for  salt-ssh  testing, while tests/integration/files/pillar contains files
       storing data needed to test various pillar functions.

       The tests/integration/files directory also includes an integration state  tree.   The  integration  state
       tree can be found at tests/integration/files/file/base.

       The following example demonstrates how integration files can be used with ModuleCase to test states:

          # Import python libs
          from __future__ import absolute_import
          import os
          import shutil

          # Import Salt Testing libs
          from tests.support.case import ModuleCase
          from tests.support.paths import FILES, TMP
          from tests.support.mixins import SaltReturnAssertsMixin

          # Import salt libs
          import salt.utils.files

          HFILE = os.path.join(TMP, "hosts")

          class HostTest(ModuleCase, SaltReturnAssertsMixin):
              """
              Validate the host state
              """

              def setUp(self):
                  shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(FILES, "hosts"), HFILE)
                  super(HostTest, self).setUp()

              def tearDown(self):
                  if os.path.exists(HFILE):
                      os.remove(HFILE)
                  super(HostTest, self).tearDown()

              def test_present(self):
                  """
                  host.present
                  """
                  name = "spam.bacon"
                  ip = "10.10.10.10"
                  ret = self.run_state("host.present", name=name, ip=ip)
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)
                  with salt.utils.files.fopen(HFILE) as fp_:
                      output = fp_.read()
                      self.assertIn("{0}\t\t{1}".format(ip, name), output)

       To  access the integration files, a variable named FILES points to the tests/integration/files directory.
       This is where the referenced host.present sls file resides.

       In addition to the static files in the integration state tree, the location TMP can also be used to store
       temporary files that the test system will clean up when the execution finishes.

   Destructive vs Non-Destructive Tests
       Since Salt is used to change the settings and behavior of systems, one testing approach is to  run  tests
       that  make  actual changes to the underlying system. This is where the concept of destructive integration
       tests comes into play. Tests can be written to alter the system they are running on. This  capability  is
       what fills in the gap needed to properly test aspects of system management like package installation.

       Any  test  that  changes the underlying system in any way, such as creating or deleting users, installing
       packages, or changing permissions should include the @destructive decorator to signal system changes  and
       should  be  written  with care. System changes executed within a destructive test should also be restored
       once the related tests have completed. For example, if a new user is created to test a module,  the  same
       user should be removed after the test is completed to maintain system integrity.

       To write a destructive test, import, and use the destructiveTest decorator for the test method:

          from tests.support.case import ModuleCase
          from tests.support.helpers import destructiveTest, skip_if_not_root

          class DestructiveExampleModuleTest(ModuleCase):
              """
              Demonstrate a destructive test
              """

              @destructiveTest
              @skip_if_not_root
              def test_user_not_present(self):
                  """
                  This is a DESTRUCTIVE TEST it creates a new user on the minion.
                  And then destroys that user.
                  """
                  ret = self.run_state("user.present", name="salt_test")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)
                  ret = self.run_state("user.absent", name="salt_test")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)

   Cloud Provider Tests
       Cloud  provider  integration  tests  are  used to assess Salt-Cloud's ability to create and destroy cloud
       instances for various supported cloud  providers.   Cloud  provider  tests  inherit  from  the  ShellCase
       Integration Class.

       Any  new  cloud  provider test files should be added to the tests/integration/cloud/providers/ directory.
       Each cloud provider test file also requires a sample cloud profile and cloud provider configuration  file
       in the integration test file directory located at tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.*.d/.

       The  following  is  an  example  of the default profile configuration file for Digital Ocean, located at:
       tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.profiles.d/digitalocean.conf:

          digitalocean-test:
            provider: digitalocean-config
            image: Ubuntu 14.04 x64
            size: 512MB

       Each cloud provider requires different configuration credentials. Therefore, sensitive  information  such
       as  API  keys or passwords should be omitted from the cloud provider configuration file and replaced with
       an empty string. The necessary  credentials  can  be  provided  by  the  user  by  editing  the  provider
       configuration file before running the tests.

       The  following  is  an  example of the default provider configuration file for Digital Ocean, located at:
       tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.providers.d/digitalocean.conf:

          digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            client_key: ''
            api_key: ''
            location: New York 1

       In addition to providing the necessary cloud profile and provider files in  the  integration  test  suite
       file structure, appropriate checks for if the configuration files exist and contain valid information are
       also required in the test class's setUp function:

          from tests.support.case import ShellCase
          from tests.support.paths import FILES

          class LinodeTest(ShellCase):
              """
              Integration tests for the Linode cloud provider in Salt-Cloud
              """

              def setUp(self):
                  """
                  Sets up the test requirements
                  """
                  super(LinodeTest, self).setUp()

                  # check if appropriate cloud provider and profile files are present
                  profile_str = "linode-config:"
                  provider = "linode"
                  providers = self.run_cloud("--list-providers")
                  if profile_str not in providers:
                      self.skipTest(
                          "Configuration file for {0} was not found. Check {0}.conf files "
                          "in tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.*.d/ to run these tests.".format(
                              provider
                          )
                      )

                  # check if apikey and password are present
                  path = os.path.join(FILES, "conf", "cloud.providers.d", provider + ".conf")
                  config = cloud_providers_config(path)
                  api = config["linode-config"]["linode"]["apikey"]
                  password = config["linode-config"]["linode"]["password"]
                  if api == "" or password == "":
                      self.skipTest(
                          "An api key and password must be provided to run these tests. Check "
                          "tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.providers.d/{0}.conf".format(
                              provider
                          )
                      )

       Repeatedly creating and destroying instances on cloud providers can be costly.  Therefore, cloud provider
       tests  are  off  by  default  and  do  not  run  automatically.  To  run  the  cloud  provider tests, the
       --cloud-provider-tests flag must be provided:

          ./tests/runtests.py --cloud-provider-tests

       Since cloud provider tests do not run automatically,  all  provider  tests  must  be  preceded  with  the
       @expensiveTest  decorator. The expensive test decorator is necessary because it signals to the test suite
       that the --cloud-provider-tests flag is required to run the cloud provider tests.

       To write a cloud provider test, import, and use the expensiveTest decorator for the test function:

          from tests.support.helpers import expensiveTest

          @expensiveTest
          def test_instance(self):
              """
              Test creating an instance on Linode
              """
              name = "linode-testing"

              # create the instance
              instance = self.run_cloud("-p linode-test {0}".format(name))
              str = "        {0}".format(name)

              # check if instance with salt installed returned as expected
              try:
                  self.assertIn(str, instance)
              except AssertionError:
                  self.run_cloud("-d {0} --assume-yes".format(name))
                  raise

              # delete the instance
              delete = self.run_cloud("-d {0} --assume-yes".format(name))
              str = "            True"
              try:
                  self.assertIn(str, delete)
              except AssertionError:
                  raise

   Adding New Directories
       If the corresponding Salt directory does not exist within tests/integration, the new  directory  must  be
       created along with the appropriate test file to maintain Salt's testing directory structure.

       In  order for Salt's test suite to recognize tests within the newly created directory, options to run the
       new integration tests must be added to tests/runtests.py. Examples of the necessary options that must  be
       added  can  be found here: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/tests/runtests.py. The functions
       that need to be edited are setup_additional_options, validate_options, and run_integration_tests.

   Writing Unit Tests
   Introduction
       Like many software projects, Salt has two broad-based testing approaches -- integration testing and  unit
       testing.  While  integration  testing  focuses  on  the  interaction  between  components  in a sandboxed
       environment, unit testing focuses on the singular implementation of individual functions.

       Unit tests should be used specifically to test a function's logic. Unit tests rely  on  mocking  external
       resources.

       While  unit tests are good for ensuring consistent results, they are most useful when they do not require
       more than a few mocks. Effort should be made to mock as many external resources as possible. This  effort
       is  encouraged,  but  not  required.  Sometimes the isolation provided by completely mocking the external
       dependencies is not worth the effort of mocking those dependencies.

       In these cases, requiring an external library to be installed on the system before running the test  file
       is  a  useful  way  to  strike  this balance.  For example, the unit tests for the MySQL execution module
       require the presence of the MySQL python bindings on the system running the test file  before  proceeding
       to run the tests.

       Overly  detailed  mocking  can also result in decreased test readability and brittleness as the tests are
       more likely to fail when the code or its dependencies legitimately change. In these cases, it  is  better
       to add dependencies to the test runner dependency state.

   Preparing to Write a Unit Test
       This guide assumes that your Salt development environment is already configured and that you have a basic
       understanding  of  contributing  to the Salt codebase.  If you're unfamiliar with either of these topics,
       please refer to the Installing Salt for Development and the Contributing pages, respectively.

       This documentation also assumes that you have an understanding of how to run Salt's test suite, including
       running the unit test subsection, running the unit tests without testing daemons to speed up  development
       wait times, and running a unit test file, class, or individual test.

   Best Practices
       Unit tests should be written to the following specifications.

   What to Test?
       Since  unit  testing focuses on the singular implementation of individual functions, unit tests should be
       used specifically to test a function's logic. The following guidelines should be  followed  when  writing
       unit tests for Salt's test suite:

       • Each raise and return statement needs to be independently tested.

       • Isolate testing functionality. Don't rely on the pass or failure of other, separate tests.

       • Test functions should contain only one assertion, at most, multiple assertions can be made, but against
         the same outcome.

       • Many Salt execution modules are merely wrappers for distribution-specific functionality. If there isn't
         any logic present in a simple execution module, consider writing an integration test instead of heavily
         mocking a call to an external dependency.

   Mocking Test Data
       A  reasonable  effort  needs to be made to mock external resources used in the code being tested, such as
       APIs, function calls, external data either globally available or passed in  through  function  arguments,
       file data, etc.

       • Test  functions  should  contain  only  one  assertion  and  all  necessary mock code and data for that
         assertion.

       • External resources should be mocked in order to "block all of the exits".  If  a  test  function  fails
         because  something  in  an  external  library  wasn't  mocked  properly  (or  at all), this test is not
         addressing all of the "exits" a function may experience. We want the Salt code and logic to be  tested,
         specifically.

       • Consider  the  fragility  and  longevity of a test. If the test is so tightly coupled to the code being
         tested, this makes a test unnecessarily fragile.

       • Make sure you are not mocking the function to be tested so vigorously that the test return merely tests
         the mocked output. The test should always be testing a function's logic.

   Mocking Loader Modules
       Salt loader modules use a series of globally available dunder variables, __salt__, __opts__,  __pillar__,
       etc. To facilitate testing these modules pytest-salt-factories has a plugin which will prepare the module
       globals  by  patching  and  mocking  the  dunders  prior to running each test, as long as the test module
       defines a fixture named configure_loader_modules. Check out the code for the pytest-salt-factories plugin
       to know how it's internals work.

       The reason for the existence of this plugin is because historically one would add these dunder  variables
       directly on the imported module. This, however, introduces unexpected behavior when running the full test
       suite  since  those  attributes  would  not  be  removed  once  we were done testing the module and would
       therefore leak to other modules being tested with unpredictable results. This is the kind  of  work  that
       should be deferred to mock, and that's exactly what this plugin provides.

       As  an example, if one needs to specify some options which should be available to the module being tested
       one should do:

          import pytest
          import salt.modules.somemodule as somemodule

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              """
              This fixture should return a dictionary which is what's going to be used to
              patch and mock Salt's loader
              """
              return {somemodule: {"__opts__": {"test": True}}}

       Consider this more extensive example from tests/pytests/unit/beacons/test_sensehat.py:

          import pytest
          import salt.beacons.sensehat as sensehat
          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              return {
                  sensehat: {
                      "__salt__": {
                          "sensehat.get_humidity": MagicMock(return_value=80),
                          "sensehat.get_temperature": MagicMock(return_value=30),
                          "sensehat.get_pressure": MagicMock(return_value=1500),
                      },
                  }
              }

          def test_non_list_config():
              config = {}

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)

              assert ret == (False, "Configuration for sensehat beacon must be a list.")

          def test_empty_config():
              config = [{}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)

              assert ret == (False, "Configuration for sensehat beacon requires sensors.")

          def test_sensehat_humidity_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"humidity": "70%"}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/humidity", "humidity": 80}]

          def test_sensehat_temperature_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"temperature": 20}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/temperature", "temperature": 30}]

          def test_sensehat_temperature_match_range():

              config = [{"sensors": {"temperature": [20, 29]}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/temperature", "temperature": 30}]

          def test_sensehat_pressure_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"pressure": "1400"}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/pressure", "pressure": 1500}]

          def test_sensehat_no_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"pressure": "1600"}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == []

       What happens in the above example is we mock several  calls  of  the  sensehat  module  to  return  known
       expected values to assert against.

   Mocking Filehandles
       NOTE:
          This  documentation  applies  to  the  2018.3  release cycle and newer. The extended functionality for
          mock_open described below does not exist in the 2017.7 and older release branches.

       Opening files in Salt is done using salt.utils.files.fopen(). When testing code that  reads  from  files,
       the  mock_open  helper  can  be  used  to  mock  filehandles.  Note  that  is  not  the same mock_open as
       unittest.mock.mock_open() from the Python standard library, but rather a  separate  implementation  which
       has additional functionality.

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data="foo\nbar\nbaz\n")
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  result = mymod.myfunc()
                  assert result is True

       This  will  force  any  filehandle  opened to mimic a filehandle which, when read, produces the specified
       contents.

       IMPORTANT:
          String Types

          When configuring your read_data, make sure that you are using  bytestrings  (e.g.  b"foo\nbar\nbaz\n")
          when  the  code  you  are testing is opening a file for binary reading, otherwise the tests will fail.
          The mocked filehandles produced by mock_open  will  raise  a  TypeError  if  you  attempt  to  read  a
          bytestring  when  opening  for  non-binary  reading, and similarly will not let you read a string when
          opening a file for binary reading. They will also not permit bytestrings to be "written" if the mocked
          filehandle was opened for non-binary writing, and vice-versa when opened for non-binary writing. These
          enhancements force test writers to write more accurate tests.

   More Complex Scenarios
   Multiple File Paths
       What happens when the code being tested reads from more than one file? For  those  cases,  you  can  pass
       read_data as a dictionary:

          import textwrap

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              contents = {
                  "/etc/foo.conf": textwrap.dedent(
                      """\
                      foo
                      bar
                      baz
                      """
                  ),
                  "/etc/b*.conf": textwrap.dedent(
                      """\
                      one
                      two
                      three
                      """
                  ),
              }
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=contents)
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  result = mymod.myfunc()
                  assert result is True

       This  would  make salt.utils.files.fopen() produce filehandles with different contents depending on which
       file was being opened by the code  being  tested.   /etc/foo.conf  and  any  file  matching  the  pattern
       /etc/b*.conf would work, while opening any other path would result in a FileNotFoundError being raised.

       Since  file  patterns  are  supported,  it is possible to use a pattern of '*' to define a fallback if no
       other patterns match the filename being opened. The below two mock_open  calls  would  produce  identical
       results:

          mock_open(read_data="foo\n")
          mock_open(read_data={"*": "foo\n"})

       NOTE:
          Take  care  when  specifying  the read_data as a dictionary, in cases where the patterns overlap (e.g.
          when both /etc/b*.conf and /etc/bar.conf are  in  the  read_data).  Dictionary  iteration  order  will
          determine  which  pattern is attempted first, second, etc., with the exception of * which is used when
          no other pattern matches. If your test case calls for specifying overlapping patterns, and you are not
          running Python 3.6 or newer, then an OrderedDict can be used to ensure  matching  is  handled  in  the
          desired way:

              contents = OrderedDict()
              contents["/etc/bar.conf"] = "foo\nbar\nbaz\n"
              contents["/etc/b*.conf"] = IOError(errno.EACCES, "Permission denied")
              contents["*"] = 'This is a fallback for files not beginning with "/etc/b"\n'
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=contents)

   Raising Exceptions
       Instead of a string, an exception can also be used as the read_data:

          import errno

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              exc = IOError(errno.EACCES, "Permission denied")
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=exc)
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  mymod.myfunc()

       The  above example would raise the specified exception when any file is opened.  The expectation would be
       that mymod.myfunc() would gracefully handle the IOError, so a failure to do that would result in it being
       raised and causing the test to fail.

   Multiple File Contents
       For cases in which a file is being read more than once, and it is necessary to test a function's behavior
       based on what the file looks like the second (or third, etc.) time it is read, just specify the  contents
       for  that file as a list. Each time the file is opened, mock_open will cycle through the list and produce
       a mocked filehandle with the specified contents. For example:

          import errno
          import textwrap

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              contents = {
                  "/etc/foo.conf": [
                      textwrap.dedent(
                          """\
                          foo
                          bar
                          """
                      ),
                      textwrap.dedent(
                          """\
                          foo
                          bar
                          baz
                          """
                      ),
                  ],
                  "/etc/b*.conf": [
                      IOError(errno.ENOENT, "No such file or directory"),
                      textwrap.dedent(
                          """\
                          one
                          two
                          three
                          """
                      ),
                  ],
              }
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=contents)
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  result = mymod.myfunc()
                  assert result is True

       Using this example, the first time /etc/foo.conf is opened, it will simulate a file with the first string
       in the list as its contents, while the second time it is opened, the simulated file's  contents  will  be
       the second string in the list.

       If  no  more items remain in the list, then attempting to open the file will raise a RuntimeError. In the
       example above, if /etc/foo.conf were to be opened a third time, a RuntimeError would be raised.

       Note that exceptions can also be mixed in with strings when using this technique. In the  above  example,
       if  /etc/bar.conf were to be opened twice, the first time would simulate the file not existing, while the
       second time would simulate a file with string defined in the second element of the list.

       NOTE:
          Notice that the second path in the contents dictionary above (/etc/b*.conf) contains an asterisk.  The
          items  in  the  list  are  cycled  through  for each match of a given pattern (not separately for each
          individual file path), so this means that only two files matching that pattern could be opened  before
          the next one would raise a RuntimeError.

   Accessing the Mocked Filehandles in a Test
       NOTE:
          The  code  for  the  MockOpen,  MockCall,  and  MockFH  classes  (referenced  below)  can  be found in
          tests/support/mock.py. There are extensive unit tests for them located in tests/unit/test_mock.py.

       The above examples simply show how to mock salt.utils.files.fopen() to simulate files with  the  contents
       you  desire,  but you can also access the mocked filehandles (and more), and use them to craft assertions
       in your tests. To do so, just add an as clause to the end of the patch statement:

          fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data="foo\nbar\nbaz\n")
          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock) as m_open:
              # do testing here
              ...
              ...

       When doing this, m_open will be a MockOpen instance. It will contain several useful attributes:

       • read_data - A dictionary containing the read_data passed when mock_open was invoked. In the event  that
         multiple  file  paths are not used, then this will be a dictionary mapping * to the read_data passed to
         mock_open.

       • call_count - An integer representing how many times salt.utils.files.fopen() was called to open a file.

       • calls - A list of MockCall objects. A MockCall object is a simple  class  which  stores  the  arguments
         passed  to  it,  making  the  positional  arguments  available  via its args attribute, and the keyword
         arguments available via its kwargs attribute.

            from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open, MockCall

            import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

            def test_something():

                with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=b"foo\n")) as m_open:
                    mymod.myfunc()
                    # Assert that only two opens attempted
                    assert m_open.call_count == 2
                    # Assert that only /etc/foo.conf was opened
                    assert all(call.args[0] == "/etc/foo.conf" for call in m_open.calls)
                    # Asser that the first open was for binary read, and the
                    # second was for binary write.
                    assert m_open.calls == [
                        MockCall("/etc/foo.conf", "rb"),
                        MockCall("/etc/foo.conf", "wb"),
                    ]

         Note that MockCall is imported from tests.support.mock in the above example. Also,  the  second  assert
         above is redundant since it is covered in the final assert, but both are included simply as an example.

       • filehandles  - A dictionary mapping the unique file paths opened, to lists of MockFH objects. Each open
         creates a unique MockFH object. Each MockFH object itself has a number of useful attributes:

         • filename - The path to the file which was opened using salt.utils.files.fopen()call - A MockCall object representing the arguments passed  to  salt.utils.files.fopen().  Note  that
           this MockCall is also available in the parent MockOpen instance's calls list.

         • The  following  methods  are mocked using unittest.mock.Mock objects, and Mock's built-in asserts (as
           well as the call data) can be used as you would with any other Mock object:

           • .read().readlines().readline().close().write().writelines().seek()

         • The read functions (.read(), .readlines(), .readline()) all  work  as  expected,  as  does  iterating
           through the file line by line (i.e.  for line in fh:).

         • The  .tell()  method  is  also  implemented  in such a way that it updates after each time the mocked
           filehandle is read, and will report the correct position. The one caveat here is that .seek() doesn't
           actually work (it's simply mocked), and will not change the position. Additionally, neither  .write()
           or .writelines() will modify the mocked filehandle's contents.

         • The  attributes  .write_calls  and .writelines_calls (no parenthesis) are available as shorthands and
           correspond to lists containing the contents passed for  all  calls  to  .write()  and  .writelines(),
           respectively.

   Examples
          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=contents)) as m_open:
              # Run the code you are unit testing
              mymod.myfunc()
              # Check that only the expected file was opened, and that it was opened
              # only once.
              assert m_open.call_count == 1
              assert list(m_open.filehandles) == ["/etc/foo.conf"]
              # "opens" will be a list of all the mocked filehandles opened
              opens = m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"]
              # Check that we wrote the expected lines ("expected" here is assumed to
              # be a list of strings)
              assert opens[0].write_calls == expected

          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=contents)) as m_open:
              # Run the code you are unit testing
              mymod.myfunc()
              # Check that .readlines() was called (remember, it's a Mock)
              m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"][0].readlines.assert_called()

          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=contents)) as m_open:
              # Run the code you are unit testing
              mymod.myfunc()
              # Check that we read the file and also wrote to it
              m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"][0].read.assert_called_once()
              m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"][1].writelines.assert_called_once()

   Naming Conventions
       Test  names  and docstrings should indicate what functionality is being tested.  Test functions are named
       test_<fcn>_<test-name> where <fcn> is the function being tested and <test-name> describes  the  raise  or
       return being tested.

       Unit      tests      for      salt/.../<module>.py     are     contained     in     a     file     called
       tests/pytests/unit/.../test_<module>.py,  e.g.  the  tests  for   salt/modules/alternatives.py   are   in
       tests/pytests/unit/modules/test_alternatives.py.

       In order for unit tests to get picked up during a run of the unit test suite, each unit test file must be
       prefixed  with  test_  and  each  individual  test must also be prefixed with the test_ naming syntax, as
       described above.

       If a function does not start with test_, then the function  acts  as  a  "normal"  function  and  is  not
       considered  a  testing  function.  It  will  not  be included in the test run or testing output. The same
       principle applies to unit test files that do not have the test_*.py naming syntax. This test file  naming
       convention is how the test runner recognizes that a test file contains tests.

   Imports
       Most commonly, the following imports are necessary to create a unit test:

          import pytest

       If you need mock support to your tests, please also import:

          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock, patch, call

   Evaluating Truth
       A  longer  discussion  on  the  types  of  assertions  one  can  make  can  be  found by reading PyTest's
       documentation on assertions.

   Tests Using Mock Objects
       In many cases, the purpose of a Salt module is to interact with some external system, whether  it  be  to
       control  a  database,  manipulate  files  on  a filesystem or something else. In these varied cases, it's
       necessary to design a unit test which can test  the  function  whilst  replacing  functions  which  might
       actually  call  out  to  external systems. One might think of this as "blocking the exits" for code under
       tests and redirecting the calls to external systems with our own code which produces known results during
       the duration of the test.

       To achieve this behavior, Salt makes heavy use of the MagicMock package.

       To understand how one might integrate Mock into writing a unit test for Salt, let's imagine a scenario in
       which we're testing an execution module that's designed to operate  on  a  database.  Furthermore,  let's
       imagine  two  separate  methods,  here  presented  in pseduo-code in an imaginary execution module called
       'db.py'.

          def create_user(username):
              qry = "CREATE USER {0}".format(username)
              execute_query(qry)

          def execute_query(qry):
              # Connect to a database and actually do the query...
              ...

       Here, let's imagine that we want to create a unit test for the create_user function. In doing so, we want
       to avoid any calls out to an external system and so while we are running  our  unit  tests,  we  want  to
       replace the actual interaction with a database with a function that can capture the parameters sent to it
       and  return  pre-defined  values.  Therefore,  our  task is clear -- to write a unit test which tests the
       functionality of create_user while also replacing 'execute_query' with a mocked function.

       To begin, we set up the skeleton of our test much like we did before, but  with  additional  imports  for
       MagicMock:

          from salt.modules import db
          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock, patch, call

          def test_create_user():
              """
              Test creating a user
              """
              # First, we replace 'execute_query' with our own mock function
              with patch.object(db, "execute_query", MagicMock()) as db_exq:

                  # Now that the exits are blocked, we can run the function under test.
                  db.create_user("testuser")

                  # We could now query our mock object to see which calls were made
                  # to it.
                  ## print db_exq.mock_calls

                  # Construct a call object that simulates the way we expected
                  # execute_query to have been called.
                  expected_call = call("CREATE USER testuser")

                  # Compare the expected call with the list of actual calls.  The
                  # test will succeed or fail depending on the output of this
                  # assertion.
                  db_exq.assert_has_calls(expected_call)

   Modifying __salt__ In Place
       At  times, it becomes necessary to make modifications to a module's view of functions in its own __salt__
       dictionary.  Luckily, this process is quite easy.

       Below is an example that uses MagicMock's patch functionality to insert a function into  __salt__  that's
       actually a MagicMock instance.

          import pytest
          import salt.modules.my_module as my_module

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              """
              This fixture should return a dictionary which is what's going to be used to
              patch and mock Salt's loader
              """
              return {my_module: {}}

          def show_patch(self):
              with patch.dict(my_module.__salt__, {"function.to_replace": MagicMock()}):
                  # From this scope, carry on with testing, with a modified __salt__!
                  ...

   A Simple Example
       Let's  assume  that  we're  testing  a very basic function in an imaginary Salt execution module. Given a
       module called fib.py that has a function called calculate(num_of_results), which given a  num_of_results,
       produces a list of sequential Fibonacci numbers of that length.

       A    unit    test   to   test   this   function   might   be   commonly   placed   in   a   file   called
       tests/pytests/unit/modules/test_fib.py. The convention is to place unit tests for Salt execution  modules
       in test/pytests/unit/modules/ and to name the tests module prefixed with test_*.py.

       Tests  are  grouped  around  test  cases,  which  are  logically grouped sets of tests against a piece of
       functionality in the tested software. To return to our example, here's how we might  write  the  skeleton
       for testing fib.py:

          import salt.modules.fib as fib

          def test_fib():
              """
              To create a unit test, we should prefix the name with `test_' so
              that it's recognized by the test runner.
              """
              fib_five = (0, 1, 1, 2, 3)
              assert fib.calculate(5) == fib_five

       At  this  point,  the  test  can  now  be run, either individually or as a part of a full run of the test
       runner. To ease development, a single test can be executed:

          nox -e 'pytest-3(coverage=False)' -- -v tests/pytests/unit/modules/test_fib.py

       This will report the status of the test: success, failure,  or  error.   The  -v  flag  increases  output
       verbosity.

       To  review  the results of a particular run, take a note of the log location given in the output for each
       test run:

   A More Complete Example
       Consider the following function from salt/modules/linux_sysctl.py.

          def get(name):
              """
              Return a single sysctl parameter for this minion

              CLI Example:

              .. code-block:: bash

                  salt '*' sysctl.get net.ipv4.ip_forward
              """
              cmd = "sysctl -n {}".format(name)
              out = __salt__["cmd.run"](cmd, python_shell=False)
              return out

       This function is very simple, comprising only four source lines  of  code  and  having  only  one  return
       statement,  so  we  know  only  one  test is needed.  There are also two inputs to the function, the name
       function argument and the call to __salt__['cmd.run'](), both of which need to be appropriately mocked.

       Mocking a function parameter is straightforward, whereas mocking a function call will  require,  in  this
       case, the use of MagicMock.  For added isolation, we will also redefine the __salt__ dictionary such that
       it only contains 'cmd.run'.

          import pytest
          import salt.modules.linux_sysictl as linux_sysctl
          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock, patch

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              return {linux_sysctl: {}}

          def test_get():
              """
              Tests the return of get function
              """
              mock_cmd = MagicMock(return_value=1)
              with patch.dict(linux_sysctl.__salt__, {"cmd.run": mock_cmd}):
                  assert linux_sysctl.get("net.ipv4.ip_forward") == 1

       Since  get()  has  only one raise or return statement and that statement is a success condition, the test
       function is simply named test_get().  As described, the single function call parameter,  name  is  mocked
       with net.ipv4.ip_forward and __salt__['cmd.run'] is replaced by a MagicMock function object.  We are only
       interested  in  the  return  value  of  __salt__['cmd.run'],  which MagicMock allows us by specifying via
       return_value=1.  Finally, the test itself tests for equality between the return value of  get()  and  the
       expected  return  of  1.   This  assertion is expected to succeed because get() will determine its return
       value from __salt__['cmd.run'], which we have mocked to return 1.

   A Complex Example
       Now consider the assign() function from the same salt/modules/linux_sysctl.py source file.

          def assign(name, value):
              """
              Assign a single sysctl parameter for this minion

              CLI Example:

              .. code-block:: bash

                  salt '*' sysctl.assign net.ipv4.ip_forward 1
              """
              value = str(value)

              tran_tab = name.translate("".maketrans("./", "/."))

              sysctl_file = "/proc/sys/{}".format(tran_tab)
              if not os.path.exists(sysctl_file):
                  raise CommandExecutionError("sysctl {} does not exist".format(name))

              ret = {}
              cmd = 'sysctl -w {}="{}"'.format(name, value)
              data = __salt__["cmd.run_all"](cmd, python_shell=False)
              out = data["stdout"]
              err = data["stderr"]

              # Example:
              #    # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
              #    net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
              regex = re.compile(r"^{}\s+=\s+{}$".format(re.escape(name), re.escape(value)))

              if not regex.match(out) or "Invalid argument" in str(err):
                  if data["retcode"] != 0 and err:
                      error = err
                  else:
                      error = out
                  raise CommandExecutionError("sysctl -w failed: {}".format(error))
              new_name, new_value = out.split(" = ", 1)
              ret[new_name] = new_value
              return ret

       This function contains two raise statements and one return statement, so we know that we  will  need  (at
       least)  three tests.  It has two function arguments and many references to non-builtin functions.  In the
       tests below you will see that MagicMock's patch() method may be  used  as  a  context  manager  or  as  a
       decorator. When patching the salt dunders however, please use the context manager approach.

       There  are  three  test  functions, one for each raise and return statement in the source function.  Each
       function is self-contained and contains all and only the mocks and data  needed  to  test  the  raise  or
       return statement it is concerned with.

   SaltStack Git Policy
       The SaltStack team follows a git policy to maintain stability and consistency with the repository.

       The  git  policy  has  been developed to encourage contributions and make contributing to Salt as easy as
       possible. Code contributors to SaltStack projects  DO  NOT  NEED  TO  READ  THIS  DOCUMENT,  because  all
       contributions come into SaltStack via a single gateway to make it as easy as possible for contributors to
       give us code.

       The  primary  rule  of git management in SaltStack is to make life easy on contributors and developers to
       send in code. Simplicity is always a goal!

   New Code Entry
       All new SaltStack code should be submitted against master.

   Release Branching
       SaltStack maintains two types of releases, Feature Releases and Point Releases (also commonly referred to
       as Bugfix Releases. A feature release is managed by  incrementing  the  first  or  second  release  point
       number,  so  2015.5.5  -> 2015.8.0 signifies a feature release and 2015.8.0 -> 2015.8.1 signifies a point
       release.

   Feature Release Branching
       Each feature release is maintained in a dedicated git branch derived from  the  last  applicable  release
       commit  on  develop.  All  file  changes  relevant to the feature release will be completed in the master
       branch prior to the creation of the feature release branch. The feature  release  branch  will  be  named
       after  the  relevant  numbers  to the feature release, which constitute the first two numbers. This means
       that the release branch for the 2015.8.0 series is named 2015.8.

       A feature release branch is created with the following command:

          # git checkout -b 2015.8 # From the master branch
          # git push origin 2015.8

   Point Releases
       As documented in SEP 14, point releases should be rare.

   Salt Conventions
   Writing Salt Documentation
       Salt's documentation is built using the Sphinx documentation system. It can be built in a  large  variety
       of output formats including HTML, PDF, ePub, and manpage.

       All  the  documentation is contained in the main Salt repository. Speaking broadly, most of the narrative
       documentation is contained within the https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/doc subdirectory  and
       most of the reference and API documentation is written inline with Salt's Python code and extracted using
       a Sphinx extension.

   Style
       The  Salt  project  recommends  the IEEE style guide as a general reference for writing guidelines. Those
       guidelines are not strictly enforced but rather serve as an  excellent  resource  for  technical  writing
       questions. The NCBI style guide is another very approachable resource.

   Point-of-view
       Use  third-person  perspective  and  avoid  "I",  "we",  "you"  forms of address.  Identify the addressee
       specifically e.g., "users should", "the compiler does", etc.

   Active voice
       Use active voice and present-tense. Avoid filler words.

   Title capitalization
       Document titles and section titles within a page should  follow  normal  sentence  capitalization  rules.
       Words  that  are capitalized as part of a regular sentence should be capitalized in a title and otherwise
       left as lowercase. Punctuation can be omitted unless it aids the intent of the title  (e.g.,  exclamation
       points or question marks).

       For example:

          This is a main heading
          ======================

          Paragraph.

          This is an exciting sub-heading!
          --------------------------------

          Paragraph.

   Serial Commas
       According  to Wikipedia: In English punctuation, a serial comma or series comma (also called Oxford comma
       and Harvard comma) is a comma placed immediately before  the  coordinating  conjunction  (usually  "and",
       "or",  or  "nor")  in  a  series  of three or more terms. For example, a list of three countries might be
       punctuated either as "France, Italy, and Spain" (with the serial comma), or as "France, Italy and  Spain"
       (without the serial comma)."

       When writing a list that includes three or more items, the serial comma should always be used.

   Documenting modules
       Documentation  for  Salt's  various  module  types  is inline in the code. During the documentation build
       process it is extracted and formatted into the final HTML, PDF, etc format.

   Inline documentation
       Python has special multi-line strings called docstrings as the first element  in  a  function  or  class.
       These  strings  allow  documentation  to  live alongside the code and can contain special formatting. For
       example:

          def my_function(value):
              """
              Upper-case the given value

              Usage:

              .. code-block:: python

                  val = 'a string'
                  new_val = myfunction(val)
                  print(new_val) # 'A STRING'

              :param value: a string
              :return: a copy of ``value`` that has been upper-cased
              """
              return value.upper()

   Specify a release for additions or changes
       New functions or changes to existing functions should include a marker that  denotes  what  Salt  release
       will be affected. For example:

          def my_function(value):
              """
              Upper-case the given value

              .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

              <...snip...>
              """
              return value.upper()

       For changes to a function:

          def my_function(value, strip=False):
              """
              Upper-case the given value

              .. versionchanged:: 2016.3.0
                  Added a flag to also strip whitespace from the string.

              <...snip...>
              """
              if strip:
                  return value.upper().strip()
              return value.upper()

   Adding module documentation to the index
       Each  module  type  has  an  index  listing  all  modules  of  that  type. For example: all-salt.modules,
       all-salt.states, all-salt.renderers.  New modules must be added to the index manually.

       1. Edit the file for the module type: execution modules, state modules, renderer modules, etc.

       2. Add the new module to the alphebetized list.

       3. Build the documentation which will generate an .rst file for the new module in the same  directory  as
          the index.rst.

       4. Commit the changes to index.rst and the new .rst file and send a pull request.

   Cross-references
       The Sphinx documentation system contains a wide variety of cross-referencing capabilities.

   Glossary entries
       Link  to  glossary  entries  using  the  term  role.  A  cross-reference should be added the first time a
       Salt-specific term is used in a document.

          A common way to encapsulate master-side functionality is by writing a
          custom :term:`Runner Function`. Custom Runner Functions are easy to write.

   Index entries
       Sphinx automatically generates many kinds of index entries, but it is occasionally useful to manually add
       items to the index.

       One method is to use the index directive above the document or section that should appear in the index.

          .. index:: ! Event, event bus, event system
              see: Reactor; Event

       Another method is to use the index role inline with the text that should appear in the index.  The  index
       entry is created and the target text is left otherwise intact.

          Information about the :index:`Salt Reactor`
          -------------------------------------------

          Paragraph.

   Documents and sections
       Each document should contain a unique top-level label of the form:

          .. _my-page:

          My page
          =======

          Paragraph.

       Unique  labels can be linked using the ref role. This allows cross-references to survive document renames
       or movement.

          For more information see :ref:`my-page`.

       Note, the :doc: role should not be used to link documents together.

   Modules
       Cross-references to Salt modules can be added using Sphinx's Python domain roles. For example, to  create
       a link to the test.ping function:

          A useful execution module to test active communication with a minion is the
          :py:func:`test.ping <salt.modules.test.ping>` function.

       Salt modules can be referenced as well:

          The :py:mod:`test module <salt.modules.test>` contains many useful
          functions for inspecting an active Salt connection.

       The same syntax works for all modules types:

          One of the workhorse state module functions in Salt is the
          :py:func:`file.managed <salt.states.file.managed>` function.

   Settings
       Individual  settings in the Salt Master or Salt Minion configuration files are cross-referenced using two
       custom roles, conf_master, and conf_minion.

          The :conf_minion:`minion ID <id>` setting is a unique identifier for a
          single minion.

   Salt Formulas
       Formulas are pre-written Salt States. They are as open-ended as Salt States themselves and  can  be  used
       for  tasks  such  as  installing  a  package,  configuring,  and  starting a service, setting up users or
       permissions, and many other common tasks.

       All  official  Salt  Formulas  are  found  as  separate  Git  repositories  in  the  "saltstack-formulas"
       organization on GitHub:

       https://github.com/saltstack-formulas

       As  a  simple  example,  to  install  the  popular  Apache  web server (using the normal defaults for the
       underlying distro) simply include the apache-formula from a top file:

          base:
            'web*':
              - apache

   Installation
       Each Salt Formula is an individual Git repository designed as a drop-in  addition  to  an  existing  Salt
       State tree. Formulas can be installed in the following ways.

   Adding a Formula as a GitFS remote
       One  design  goal  of Salt's GitFS fileserver backend was to facilitate reusable States. GitFS is a quick
       and natural way to use Formulas.

       1. Install any necessary dependencies and configure GitFS.

       2. Add one or more Formula repository URLs as remotes in  the  gitfs_remotes  list  in  the  Salt  Master
          configuration file:

             gitfs_remotes:
               - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula
               - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/memcached-formula

          We  strongly  recommend  forking a formula repository into your own GitHub account to avoid unexpected
          changes to your infrastructure.

          Many Salt Formulas are highly active repositories so pull new changes with care.  Plus  any  additions
          you make to your fork can be easily sent back upstream with a quick pull request!

       3. Restart the Salt master.

       Beginning  with  the  2018.3.0  release,  using  formulas  with  GitFS  is  now  much more convenient for
       deployments which use many different fileserver environments  (i.e.  saltenvs).  Using  the  all_saltenvs
       parameter,  files  from  a  single  git  branch/tag  will  appear in all environments.  See here for more
       information on this feature.

   Adding a Formula directory manually
       Formulas are simply directories that can be copied onto the local file system by using Git to  clone  the
       repository  or  by  downloading  and  expanding  a  tarball  or zip file of the repository. The directory
       structure is designed to work with file_roots in the Salt master configuration.

       1. Clone or download the repository into a directory:

             mkdir -p /srv/formulas
             cd /srv/formulas
             git clone https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula.git

             # or

             mkdir -p /srv/formulas
             cd /srv/formulas
             wget -O apache-formula-master.tar.gz https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula/archive/master.tar.gz
             tar xf apache-formula-master.tar.gz

       2. Add the new directory to file_roots:

             file_roots:
               base:
                 - /srv/salt
                 - /srv/formulas/apache-formula

       3. Restart the Salt Master.

   Usage
       Each  Formula  is  intended  to  be  immediately  usable  with  sane  defaults  without  any   additional
       configuration.  Many  formulas  are also configurable by including data in Pillar; see the pillar.example
       file in each Formula repository for available options.

   Including a Formula in an existing State tree
       Formula may be included in an existing sls file. This is often useful when a state you are writing  needs
       to require or extend a state defined in the formula.

       Here  is  an example of a state that uses the epel-formula in a require declaration which directs Salt to
       not install the python26 package until after the EPEL repository has also been installed:

          include:
            - epel

          python26:
            pkg.installed:
              - require:
                - pkg: epel

   Including a Formula from a Top File
       Some Formula perform completely standalone installations that are not referenced from other state  files.
       It is usually cleanest to include these Formula directly from a Top File.

       For  example  the  easiest  way  to  set up an OpenStack deployment on a single machine is to include the
       openstack-standalone-formula directly from a top.sls file:

          base:
            'myopenstackmaster':
              - openstack

       Quickly deploying OpenStack across several dedicated machines could also be done directly from a Top File
       and may look something like this:

          base:
            'controller':
              - openstack.horizon
              - openstack.keystone
            'hyper-*':
              - openstack.nova
              - openstack.glance
            'storage-*':
              - openstack.swift

   Configuring Formula using Pillar
       Salt Formulas are designed to work out of the box with no additional configuration. However, many Formula
       support additional configuration and customization through Pillar. Examples of available options  can  be
       found in a file named pillar.example in the root directory of each Formula repository.

   Using Formula with your own states
       Remember  that  Formula  are regular Salt States and can be used with all Salt's normal state mechanisms.
       Formula can be required from other States with requisites-require  declarations,  they  can  be  modified
       using extend, they can made to watch other states with requisites-watch-in.

       The  following  example  uses  the  stock  apache-formula alongside a custom state to create a vhost on a
       Debian/Ubuntu system and to reload the Apache service whenever the vhost is changed.

          # Include the stock, upstream apache formula.
          include:
            - apache

          # Use the watch_in requisite to cause the apache service state to reload
          # apache whenever the my-example-com-vhost state changes.
          my-example-com-vhost:
            file:
              - managed
              - name: /etc/apache2/sites-available/my-example-com
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       Don't be shy to read through the source for each Formula!

   Reporting problems & making additions
       Each Formula is a separate repository on GitHub. If you encounter a bug with a  Formula  please  file  an
       issue  in  the  respective repository! Send fixes and additions as a pull request. Add tips and tricks to
       the repository wiki.

   Writing Formulas
       Each Formula is a separate repository in the saltstack-formulas organization on GitHub.

   Get involved creating new Formulas
       The best way to create new Formula repositories for now is to create a repository in your own account  on
       GitHub  and notify a SaltStack employee when it is ready. We will add you to the Contributors team on the
       saltstack-formulas organization and help you transfer the repository over.  Ping a SaltStack employee  on
       IRC  (#salt  on LiberaChat), join the #formulas channel on the salt-slack (bridged to #saltstack-formulas
       on LiberaChat) or send an email to the salt-users mailing list.  Note that  IRC  logs  are  available  at
       https://freenode.logbot.info/salt,          https://freenode.logbot.info/saltstack-formulas,          and
       http://ngxbot.nginx.org/logs/%23salt/.

       There are a lot of repositories in that organization! Team members can manage which repositories they are
       subscribed to on GitHub's watching page: https://github.com/watching.

       Members of the Contributors team are welcome  to  participate  in  reviewing  pull  requests  across  the
       Organization. Some repositories will have regular contributors and some repositories will not. As you get
       involved  in  a repository be sure to communicate with any other contributors there on pull requests that
       are large or have breaking changes.

       In general it is best to have another Contributor review and merge any pull requests that you open.  Feel
       free  to at-mention other regular contributors to a repository and request a review. However, there are a
       lot of formula repositories so if a repository does not yet have regular contributors  or  if  your  pull
       request has stayed open for more than a couple days feel free to "selfie-merge" your own pull request.

   Style
       Maintainability,  readability,  and  reusability  are  all  marks  of  a good Salt sls file. This section
       contains several suggestions and examples.

          # Deploy the stable master branch unless version overridden by passing
          # Pillar at the CLI or via the Reactor.

          deploy_myapp:
            git.latest:
              - name: git@github.com/myco/myapp.git
              - version: {{ salt.pillar.get('myapp:version', 'master') }}

   Use a descriptive State ID
       The ID of a state is used as a unique identifier that may be referenced via other states  in  requisites.
       It must be unique across the whole state tree (it is a key in a dictionary, after all).

       In  addition  a  state  ID  should  be  descriptive and serve as a high-level hint of what it will do, or
       manage, or change. For example, deploy_webapp, or apache, or reload_firewall.

   Use module.function notation
       So-called "short-declaration" notation is preferred for referencing state modules and state functions. It
       provides a consistent pattern of module.function shared between Salt States, the Reactor, Salt Mine,  the
       Scheduler, as well as with the CLI.

          # Do
          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd

          # Don't
          apache:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - name: httpd

       Salt's   state   compiler  will  transform  "short-decs"  into  the  longer  format  when  compiling  the
       human-friendly highstate structure into the machine-friendly lowstate structure.

   Specify the name parameter
       Use a unique and permanent identifier for the state ID and reserve name for data with variability.

       The name declaration is a required parameter for all state functions. The state  ID  will  implicitly  be
       used as name if it is not explicitly set in the state.

       In  many  state  functions  the  name  parameter is used for data that varies such as OS-specific package
       names, OS-specific file system paths, repository addresses, etc. Any time the ID of a state  changes  all
       references  to  that  ID  must also be changed. Use a permanent ID when writing a state the first time to
       future-proof that state and allow for easier refactors down the road.

   Comment state files
       YAML allows comments at varying indentation levels. It is a good practice to  comment  state  files.  Use
       vertical whitespace to visually separate different concepts or actions.

          # Start with a high-level description of the current sls file.
          # Explain the scope of what it will do or manage.

          # Comment individual states as necessary.
          update_a_config_file:
            # Provide details on why an unusual choice was made. For example:
            #
            # This template is fetched from a third-party and does not fit our
            # company norm of using Jinja. This must be processed using Mako.
            file.managed:
              - name: /path/to/file.cfg
              - source: salt://path/to/file.cfg.template
              - template: mako

            # Provide a description or explanation that did not fit within the state
            # ID. For example:
            #
            # Update the application's last-deployed timestamp.
            # This is a workaround until Bob configures Jenkins to automate RPM
            # builds of the app.
            cmd.run:
              # FIXME: Joe needs this to run on Windows by next quarter. Switch these
              # from shell commands to Salt's file.managed and file.replace state
              # modules.
              - name: |
                  touch /path/to/file_last_updated
                  sed -e 's/foo/bar/g' /path/to/file_environment
              - onchanges:
                - file: a_config_file

       Be careful to use Jinja comments for commenting Jinja code and YAML comments for commenting YAML code.

          # BAD EXAMPLE
          # The Jinja in this YAML comment is still executed!
          # {% set apache_is_installed = 'apache' in salt.pkg.list_pkgs() %}

          # GOOD EXAMPLE
          # The Jinja in this Jinja comment will not be executed.
          {# {% set apache_is_installed = 'apache' in salt.pkg.list_pkgs() %} #}

   Easy on the Jinja!
       Jinja  templating provides vast flexibility and power when building Salt sls files. It can also create an
       unmaintainable tangle of logic and data. Speaking broadly, Jinja is best used when kept  apart  from  the
       states (as much as is possible).

       Below are guidelines and examples of how Jinja can be used effectively.

   Know the evaluation and execution order
       High-level knowledge of how Salt states are compiled and run is useful when writing states.

       The  default  renderer setting in Salt is Jinja piped to YAML.  Each is a separate step. Each step is not
       aware of the previous or following step. Jinja is not YAML aware, YAML is not Jinja  aware;  they  cannot
       share variables or interact.

       • Whatever the Jinja step produces must be valid YAML.

       • Whatever  the  YAML  step  produces must be a valid highstate data structure. (This is also true of the
         final step for any of the alternate renderers in Salt.)

       • Highstate can be thought of as a human-friendly data structure; easy to write and easy to read.

       • Salt's state compiler validates the highstate and compiles it to low state.

       • Low state can be thought of as a machine-friendly data structure. It is a  list  of  dictionaries  that
         each map directly to a function call.

       • Salt's  state  system  finally  starts  and  executes  on  each "chunk" in the low state. Remember that
         requisites are evaluated at runtime.

       • The return for each function call is added to the "running" dictionary which is the final output at the
         end of the state run.

       The full evaluation and execution order:

          Jinja -> YAML -> Highstate -> low state -> execution

   Avoid changing the underlying system with Jinja
       Avoid calling commands from Jinja that change the underlying  system.  Commands  run  via  Jinja  do  not
       respect  Salt's  dry-run mode (test=True)! This is usually in conflict with the idempotent nature of Salt
       states unless the command being run is also idempotent.

   Inspect the local system
       A common use for Jinja in Salt states is to gather information about the underlying  system.  The  grains
       dictionary  available  in the Jinja context is a great example of common data points that Salt itself has
       already gathered.  Less common values are often found by running commands. For example:

          {% set is_selinux_enabled = salt.cmd.run('sestatus') == '1' %}

       This is usually best done with a variable assignment in order to separate the data from  the  state  that
       will make use of the data.

   Gather external data
       One  of  the  most  common uses for Jinja is to pull external data into the state file. External data can
       come from anywhere like API calls or database queries, but it most commonly comes from flat files on  the
       file system or Pillar data from the Salt Master. For example:

          {% set some_data = salt.pillar.get('some_data', {'sane default': True}) %}

          {# or #}

          {% import_yaml 'path/to/file.yaml' as some_data %}

          {# or #}

          {% import_json 'path/to/file.json' as some_data %}

          {# or #}

          {% import_text 'path/to/ssh_key.pub' as ssh_pub_key %}

          {# or #}

          {% from 'path/to/other_file.jinja' import some_data with context %}

       This  is  usually  best done with a variable assignment in order to separate the data from the state that
       will make use of the data.

   Light conditionals and looping
       Jinja is extremely powerful for programmatically generating Salt states. It is also easy to overuse. As a
       rule of thumb, if it is hard to read it will be hard to maintain!

       Separate Jinja control-flow statements from the states as much as is possible to create readable  states.
       Limit Jinja within states to simple variable lookups.

       Below is a simple example of a readable loop:

          {% for user in salt.pillar.get('list_of_users', []) %}

          {# Ensure unique state IDs when looping. #}
          {{ user.name }}-{{ loop.index }}:
            user.present:
              - name: {{ user.name }}
              - shell: {{ user.shell }}

          {% endfor %}

       Avoid  putting  a  Jinja  conditionals  within  Salt  states where possible.  Readability suffers and the
       correct YAML indentation is difficult to see in the surrounding visual noise. Parametrization  (discussed
       below) and variables are both useful techniques to avoid this. For example:

          {# ---- Bad example ---- #}

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              {% if grains.os_family == 'RedHat' %}
              - name: httpd
              {% elif grains.os_family == 'Debian' %}
              - name: apache2
              {% endif %}

          {# ---- Better example ---- #}

          {% if grains.os_family == 'RedHat' %}
          {% set name = 'httpd' %}
          {% elif grains.os_family == 'Debian' %}
          {% set name = 'apache2' %}
          {% endif %}

           apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ name }}

          {# ---- Good example ---- #}

          {% set name = {
              'RedHat': 'httpd',
              'Debian': 'apache2',
          }.get(grains.os_family) %}

           apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ name }}

       Dictionaries  are  useful  to  effectively  "namespace"  a  collection of variables.  This is useful with
       parametrization (discussed below). Dictionaries are also easily combined and  merged.  And  they  can  be
       directly  serialized into YAML which is often easier than trying to create valid YAML through templating.
       For example:

          {# ---- Bad example ---- #}

          haproxy_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
              - template: jinja
              {% if 'external_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
              - source: salt://haproxy/external_haproxy.cfg
              {% elif 'internal_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
              - source: salt://haproxy/internal_haproxy.cfg
              {% endif %}
              - context:
                  {% if 'external_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
                  ssl_termination: True
                  {% elif 'internal_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
                  ssl_termination: False
                  {% endif %}

          {# ---- Better example ---- #}

          {% load_yaml as haproxy_defaults %}
          common_settings:
            bind_port: 80

          internal_loadbalancer:
            source: salt://haproxy/internal_haproxy.cfg
            settings:
              bind_port: 8080
              ssl_termination: False

          external_loadbalancer:
            source: salt://haproxy/external_haproxy.cfg
            settings:
              ssl_termination: True
          {% endload %}

          {% if 'external_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
          {% set haproxy = haproxy_defaults['external_loadbalancer'] %}
          {% elif 'internal_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
          {% set haproxy = haproxy_defaults['internal_loadbalancer'] %}
          {% endif %}

          {% do haproxy.settings.update(haproxy_defaults.common_settings) %}

          haproxy_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
              - template: jinja
              - source: {{ haproxy.source }}
              - context: {{ haproxy.settings | yaml() }}

       There is still room for improvement in the above example. For example, extracting into an  external  file
       or  replacing  the  if-elif  conditional with a function call to filter the correct data more succinctly.
       However, the state itself is simple and legible, the data is separate and also simple and  legible.   And
       those suggested improvements can be made at some future date without altering the state at all!

   Avoid heavy logic and programming
       Jinja  is  not Python. It was made by Python programmers and shares many semantics and some syntax but it
       does not allow for abitrary Python function calls or Python  imports.  Jinja  is  a  fast  and  efficient
       templating language but the syntax can be verbose and visually noisy.

       Once  Jinja  use  within  an  sls  file  becomes slightly complicated -- long chains of if-elif-elif-else
       statements, nested conditionals, complicated dictionary merges, wanting to use sets --  instead  consider
       using  a  different Salt renderer, such as the Python renderer. As a rule of thumb, if it is hard to read
       it will be hard to maintain -- switch to a format that is easier to read.

       Using alternate renderers is very simple to do using Salt's "she-bang" syntax at the top of the file. The
       Python renderer must simply return the correct highstate data structure. The following example is a state
       tree of two sls files, one simple and one complicated.

       /srv/salt/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - common_configuration
              - roles_configuration

       /srv/salt/common_configuration.sls:

          common_users:
            user.present:
              - names:
                - larry
                - curly
                - moe

       /srv/salt/roles_configuration:

          #!py
          def run():
              list_of_roles = set()

              # This example has the minion id in the form 'web-03-dev'.
              # Easily access the grains dictionary:
              try:
                  app, instance_number, environment = __grains__["id"].split("-")
                  instance_number = int(instance_number)
              except ValueError:
                  app, instance_number, environment = ["Unknown", 0, "dev"]

              list_of_roles.add(app)

              if app == "web" and environment == "dev":
                  list_of_roles.add("primary")
                  list_of_roles.add("secondary")
              elif app == "web" and environment == "staging":
                  if instance_number == 0:
                      list_of_roles.add("primary")
                  else:
                      list_of_roles.add("secondary")

              # Easily cross-call Salt execution modules:
              if __salt__["myutils.query_valid_ec2_instance"]():
                  list_of_roles.add("is_ec2_instance")

              return {
                  "set_roles_grains": {
                      "grains.present": [{"name": "roles"}, {"value": list(list_of_roles)}],
                  },
              }

   Jinja Macros
       In Salt sls files Jinja macros are useful for one thing and one thing only: creating mini templates  that
       can be reused and rendered on demand. Do not fall into the trap of thinking of macros as functions; Jinja
       is not Python (see above).

       Macros are useful for creating reusable, parameterized states. For example:

          {% macro user_state(state_id, user_name, shell='/bin/bash', groups=[]) %}
          {{ state_id }}:
            user.present:
              - name: {{ user_name }}
              - shell: {{ shell }}
              - groups: {{ groups | json() }}
          {% endmacro %}

          {% for user_info in salt.pillar.get('my_users', []) %}
          {{ user_state('user_number_' ~ loop.index, **user_info) }}
          {% endfor %}

       Macros are also useful for creating one-off "serializers" that can accept a data structure and write that
       out  as  a  domain-specific configuration file. For example, the following macro could be used to write a
       php.ini config file:

       /srv/salt/php.sls:

          php_ini:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/php.ini
              - source: salt://php.ini.tmpl
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  php_ini_settings: {{ salt.pillar.get('php_ini', {}) | json() }}

       /srv/pillar/php.sls:

          php_ini:
            PHP:
              engine: 'On'
              short_open_tag: 'Off'
              error_reporting: 'E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT'

       /srv/salt/php.ini.tmpl:

          {% macro php_ini_serializer(data) %}
          {% for section_name, name_val_pairs in data.items() %}
          [{{ section_name }}]
          {% for name, val in name_val_pairs.items() -%}
          {{ name }} = "{{ val }}"
          {% endfor %}
          {% endfor %}
          {% endmacro %}

          ; File managed by Salt at <{{ source }}>.
          ; Your changes will be overwritten.

          {{ php_ini_serializer(php_ini_settings) }}

   Abstracting static defaults into a lookup table
       Separate data that a state uses from the state itself to increases the flexibility and reusability  of  a
       state.

       An  obvious  and common example of this is platform-specific package names and file system paths. Another
       example is sane defaults for an application,  or  common  settings  within  a  company  or  organization.
       Organizing  such  data  as  a dictionary (aka hash map, lookup table, associative array) often provides a
       lightweight namespacing and allows for quick and easy lookups. In addition, using a dictionary allows for
       easily merging and overriding static values within a  lookup  table  with  dynamic  values  fetched  from
       Pillar.

       A  strong  convention in Salt Formulas is to place platform-specific data, such as package names and file
       system paths, into a file named map.jinja that is placed alongside the state files.

       The following is an example from the MySQL Formula.  The grains.filter_by function performs a  lookup  on
       that table using the os_family grain (by default).

       The  result  is  that  the  mysql  variable  is  assigned to a subset of the lookup table for the current
       platform. This allows states to reference, for example, the name of a package without worrying about  the
       underlying  OS.  The  syntax  for  referencing a value is a normal dictionary lookup in Jinja, such as {{
       mysql['service'] }} or the shorthand {{ mysql.service }}.

       map.jinja:

          {% set mysql = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
                  'server': 'mysql-server',
                  'client': 'mysql-client',
                  'service': 'mysql',
                  'config': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'python-mysqldb',
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'server': 'mysql-server',
                  'client': 'mysql',
                  'service': 'mysqld',
                  'config': '/etc/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'MySQL-python',
              },
              'Gentoo': {
                  'server': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'client': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'service': 'mysql',
                  'config': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'dev-python/mysql-python',
              },
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup')) %}

       Values defined in the map file can be fetched for the current  platform  in  any  state  file  using  the
       following syntax:

          {% from "mysql/map.jinja" import mysql with context %}

          mysql-server:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ mysql.server }}
            service.running:
              - name: {{ mysql.service }}

   Organizing Pillar data
       It  is  considered  a  best  practice to make formulas expect all formula-related parameters to be placed
       under second-level lookup key, within a  main  namespace  designated  for  holding  data  for  particular
       service/software/etc, managed by the formula:

          mysql:
            lookup:
              version: 5.7.11

   Collecting common values
       Common  values can be collected into a base dictionary.  This minimizes repetition of identical values in
       each of the lookup_dict sub-dictionaries.  Now only the values that are different from the base  must  be
       specified by the alternates:

       map.jinja:

          {% set mysql = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'default': {
                  'server': 'mysql-server',
                  'client': 'mysql-client',
                  'service': 'mysql',
                  'config': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'python-mysqldb',
              },
              'Debian': {
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'client': 'mysql',
                  'service': 'mysqld',
                  'config': '/etc/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'MySQL-python',
              },
              'Gentoo': {
                  'server': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'client': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'python': 'dev-python/mysql-python',
              },
          },
          merge=salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup'), base='default') %}

   Overriding values in the lookup table
       Allow  static  values  within  lookup  tables to be overridden. This is a simple pattern which once again
       increases flexibility and reusability for state files.

       The merge argument in filter_by specifies the location of a dictionary in Pillar  that  can  be  used  to
       override values returned from the lookup table. If the value exists in Pillar it will take precedence.

       This  is  useful  when  software  or  configuration  files  is  installed to non-standard locations or on
       unsupported platforms. For example, the following Pillar would replace the config  value  from  the  call
       above.

          mysql:
            lookup:
              config: /usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf

       NOTE:
          Protecting Expansion of Content with Special Characters

          When  templating  keep  in  mind  that YAML does have special characters for quoting, flows, and other
          special structure and content.  When a Jinja substitution may have special  characters  that  will  be
          incorrectly  parsed  by  YAML  care  must be taken.  It is a good policy to use the yaml_encode or the
          yaml_dquote Jinja filters:

              {%- set foo = 7.7 %}
              {%- set bar = none %}
              {%- set baz = true %}
              {%- set zap = 'The word of the day is "salty".' %}
              {%- set zip = '"The quick brown fox . . ."' %}

              foo: {{ foo|yaml_encode }}
              bar: {{ bar|yaml_encode }}
              baz: {{ baz|yaml_encode }}
              zap: {{ zap|yaml_encode }}
              zip: {{ zip|yaml_dquote }}

          The above will be rendered as below:

              foo: 7.7
              bar: null
              baz: true
              zap: "The word of the day is \"salty\"."
              zip: "\"The quick brown fox . . .\""

       The filter_by function performs a simple dictionary lookup but also allows for fetching data from  Pillar
       and  overriding data stored in the lookup table. That same workflow can be easily performed without using
       filter_by; other dictionaries besides data from Pillar can also be used.

          {% set lookup_table = {...} %}
          {% do lookup_table.update(salt.pillar.get('my:custom:data')) %}

   When to use lookup tables
       The map.jinja file is only a convention within Salt Formulas. This greater pattern is useful for  a  wide
       variety  of  data  in  a  wide  variety of workflows.  This pattern is not limited to pulling data from a
       single file or data source.  This pattern is useful in States, Pillar and the Reactor, for example.

       Working with a data structure instead of, say, a config file allows the data to be cobbled together  from
       multiple sources (local files, remote Pillar, database queries, etc), combined, overridden, and searched.

       Below  are  a  few  examples  of  what  lookup  tables  may  be  useful  for and how they may be used and
       represented.

   Platform-specific information
       An obvious pattern and one used heavily in Salt Formulas is extracting platform-specific information such
       as package names and file system paths in a file named map.jinja. The  pattern  is  explained  in  detail
       above.

   Sane defaults
       Application  settings  can  be  a good fit for this pattern. Store default settings along with the states
       themselves and keep overrides and sensitive settings in Pillar. Combine both into a single dictionary and
       then write the application config or settings file.

       The example below stores most of the Apache Tomcat server.xml file alongside the Tomcat states  and  then
       allows  values  to  be  updated  or  augmented  via  Pillar. (This example uses the BadgerFish format for
       transforming JSON to XML.)

       /srv/salt/tomcat/defaults.yaml:

          Server:
            '@port': '8005'
            '@shutdown': SHUTDOWN
            GlobalNamingResources:
              Resource:
                '@auth': Container
                '@description': User database that can be updated and saved
                '@factory': org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory
                '@name': UserDatabase
                '@pathname': conf/tomcat-users.xml
                '@type': org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase
            # <...snip...>

       /srv/pillar/tomcat.sls:

          appX:
            server_xml_overrides:
              Server:
                Service:
                  '@name': Catalina
                  Connector:
                    '@port': '8009'
                    '@protocol': AJP/1.3
                    '@redirectPort': '8443'
                    # <...snip...>

       /srv/salt/tomcat/server_xml.sls:

          {% import_yaml 'tomcat/defaults.yaml' as server_xml_defaults %}
          {% set server_xml_final_values = salt.pillar.get(
              'appX:server_xml_overrides',
              default=server_xml_defaults,
              merge=True)
          %}

          appX_server_xml:
            file.serialize:
              - name: /etc/tomcat/server.xml
              - dataset: {{ server_xml_final_values | json() }}
              - formatter: xml_badgerfish

       The file.serialize state can provide a shorthand for creating some files from data structures. There  are
       also  many  examples  within Salt Formulas of creating one-off "serializers" (often as Jinja macros) that
       reformat a data structure to a specific config file format.  For  example,  look  at  the`Nginx  vhosts`_
       states or the php.ini file template.

   Environment specific information
       A  single  state  can be reused when it is parameterized as described in the section below, by separating
       the data the state will use from the state that performs the work. This can  be  the  difference  between
       deploying  Application  X  and  Application  Y, or the difference between production and development. For
       example:

       /srv/salt/app/deploy.sls:

          {# Load the map file. #}
          {% import_yaml 'app/defaults.yaml' as app_defaults %}

          {# Extract the relevant subset for the app configured on the current
             machine (configured via a grain in this example). #}
          {% app = app_defaults.get(salt.grains.get('role')) %}

          {# Allow values from Pillar to (optionally) update values from the lookup
             table. #}
          {% do app_defaults.update(salt.pillar.get('myapp', {})) %}

          deploy_application:
            git.latest:
              - name: {{ app.repo_url }}
              - version: {{ app.version }}
              - target: {{ app.deploy_dir }}

          myco/myapp/deployed:
            event.send:
              - data:
                  version: {{ app.version }}
              - onchanges:
                - git: deploy_application

       /srv/salt/app/defaults.yaml:

          appX:
            repo_url: git@github.com/myco/appX.git
            target: /var/www/appX
            version: master
          appY:
            repo_url: git@github.com/myco/appY.git
            target: /var/www/appY
            version: v1.2.3.4

   Single-purpose SLS files
       Each sls file in a Formula should strive to do a single thing. This increases  the  reusability  of  this
       file by keeping unrelated tasks from getting coupled together.

       As  an   example, the base Apache formula should only install the Apache httpd server and start the httpd
       service. This is the basic, expected behavior when installing Apache. It should  not  perform  additional
       changes such as set the Apache configuration file or create vhosts.

       If a formula is single-purpose as in the example above, other formulas, and also other states can include
       and use that formula with requisites without also including undesirable or unintended side-effects.

       The  following  is  a  best-practice example for a reusable Apache formula. (This skips platform-specific
       options for brevity. See the full apache-formula for more.)

          # apache/init.sls
          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              [...]
            service.running:
              [...]

          # apache/mod_wsgi.sls
          include:
            - apache

          mod_wsgi:
            pkg.installed:
              [...]
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          # apache/conf.sls
          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              [...]
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       To illustrate a bad example, say the above Apache formula installed Apache and  also  created  a  default
       vhost.  The mod_wsgi state would not be able to include the Apache formula to create that dependency tree
       without also installing the unneeded default vhost.

       Formulas should be reusable. Avoid coupling unrelated actions together.

   Parameterization
       Parameterization is a key feature of Salt Formulas and also for Salt States.  Parameterization  allows  a
       single  Formula  to be reused across many operating systems; to be reused across production, development,
       or staging environments; and to be reused by many people all with varying goals.

       Writing states, specifying ordering and dependencies is the part that takes the longest to write  and  to
       test.  Filling  those  states  out with data such as users or package names or file locations is the easy
       part. How many users, what those users are named, or where the files live are all implementation  details
       that should be parameterized. This separation between a state and the data that populates a state creates
       a reusable formula.

       In  the example below the data that populates the state can come from anywhere -- it can be hard-coded at
       the top of the state, it can come from an external file, it can come from Pillar, it  can  come  from  an
       execution function call, or it can come from a database query. The state itself doesn't change regardless
       of  where  the  data comes from. Production data will vary from development data will vary from data from
       one company to another, however the state itself stays the same.

          {% set user_list = [
              {'name': 'larry', 'shell': 'bash'},
              {'name': 'curly', 'shell': 'bash'},
              {'name': 'moe', 'shell': 'zsh'},
          ] %}

          {# or #}

          {% set user_list = salt['pillar.get']('user_list') %}

          {# or #}

          {% load_json "default_users.json" as user_list %}

          {# or #}

          {% set user_list = salt['acme_utils.get_user_list']() %}

          {% for user in list_list %}
          {{ user.name }}:
            user.present:
              - name: {{ user.name }}
              - shell: {{ user.shell }}
          {% endfor %}

   Configuration
       Formulas should strive to use the defaults of the underlying platform,  followed  by  defaults  from  the
       upstream project, followed by sane defaults for the formula itself.

       As  an  example,  a  formula  to  install  Apache should not change the default Apache configuration file
       installed by the OS package. However, the Apache formula should include a state to change or override the
       default configuration file.

   Pillar overrides
       Pillar lookups must use the safe get() and must provide a default value. Create local variables using the
       Jinja set construct to increase readability and to avoid potentially hundreds or  thousands  of  function
       calls across a large state tree.

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}
          {% set settings = salt['pillar.get']('apache', {}) %}

          mod_status:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ apache.conf_dir }}
              - source: {{ settings.get('mod_status_conf', 'salt://apache/mod_status.conf') }}
              - template: {{ settings.get('template_engine', 'jinja') }}

       Any  default values used in the Formula must also be documented in the pillar.example file in the root of
       the repository. Comments should be used liberally to explain the intent of each configuration  value.  In
       addition, users should be able copy-and-paste the contents of this file into their own Pillar to make any
       desired changes.

   Scripting
       Remember  that  both  State files and Pillar files can easily call out to Salt execution modules and have
       access to all the system grains as well.

          {% if '/storage' in salt['mount.active']() %}
          /usr/local/etc/myfile.conf:
            file:
              - symlink
              - target: /storage/myfile.conf
          {% endif %}

       Jinja macros to encapsulate logic or conditionals are discouraged in favor of  writing  custom  execution
       modules in Python.

   Repository structure
       A basic Formula repository should have the following layout:

          foo-formula
          |-- foo/
          |   |-- map.jinja
          |   |-- init.sls
          |   `-- bar.sls
          |-- CHANGELOG.rst
          |-- LICENSE
          |-- pillar.example
          |-- README.rst
          `-- VERSION

       SEE ALSO:
          template-formula

          The  template-formula  repository  has a pre-built layout that serves as the basic structure for a new
          formula repository. Just copy the files from there and edit them.

   README.rst
       The README should detail each available .sls file  by  explaining  what  it  does,  whether  it  has  any
       dependencies  on  other  formulas,  whether it has a target platform, and any other installation or usage
       instructions or tips.

       CHANGELOG.rst:

          foo formula
          ===========

          0.0.2 (2013-01-01)

          - Re-organized formula file layout
          - Fixed filename used for upstart logger template
          - Allow for pillar message to have default if none specified

   Versioning
       Formula are versioned according to Semantic Versioning, https://semver.org/.

       NOTE:
          Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

          1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,

          2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and

          3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

          Additional   labels   for   pre-release  and  build  metadata  are  available  as  extensions  to  the
          MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

       Formula versions are tracked using Git tags as well as the VERSION file in the  formula  repository.  The
       VERSION file should contain the currently released version of the particular formula.

   Testing Formulas
       A smoke-test for invalid Jinja, invalid YAML, or an invalid Salt state structure can be performed by with
       the state.show_sls function:

          salt '*' state.show_sls apache

       Salt  Formulas  can  then be tested by running each .sls file via state.apply and checking the output for
       the success or failure of each state in the Formula. This should be done for each supported platform.

   SaltStack Packaging Guide
       Since Salt provides a powerful toolkit for system management and automation, the package can be spit into
       a number of sub-tools. While packaging Salt as a single package containing all  components  is  perfectly
       acceptable, the split packages should follow this convention.

   Patching Salt For Distributions
       The  occasion  may  arise  where  Salt  source  and  default configurations may need to be patched. It is
       preferable if Salt is only patched to include platform specific additions or to fix release time bugs. It
       is preferable that configuration settings and operations remain in the default  state,  as  changes  here
       lowers the user experience for users moving across distributions.

       In  the  event where a packager finds a need to change the default configuration it is advised to add the
       files to the master.d or minion.d directories.

   Source Files
       Release packages should always be built from the source tarball distributed via  pypi.  Release  packages
       should NEVER use a git checkout as the source for distribution.

   Single Package
       Shipping  Salt  as  a  single  package, where the minion, master, and all tools are together is perfectly
       acceptable and practiced by distributions such as FreeBSD.

   Split Package
       Salt Should always be split in a standard way, with standard dependencies, this lowers cross distribution
       confusion about what components are going to be shipped with specific packages.  These  packages  can  be
       defined from the Salt Source as of Salt 2014.1.0:

   Salt Common
       The  salt-common  or  salt  package  should contain the files provided by the salt python package, or all
       files distributed from the salt/  directory  in  the  source  distribution  packages.  The  documentation
       contained  under  the  doc/  directory  can  be a part of this package but splitting out a doc package is
       preferred.  Since salt-call is the entry point to utilize the libs and is useful for all salt packages it
       is included in the salt-common package.

       The  Salt  Syndic  package  can be rolled completely into the Salt Master package.  Platforms which start

       Debian based platforms).

       The  Syndic  may  optionally  not  depend on the anything more than the Salt Master since the master will

   Salt Release Process
       The goal for Salt projects is to cut a new feature release every three  to  four  months.  This  document
       outlines the process for these releases, and the subsequent bug fix releases which follow.

   Feature Release Process
       When  a  new  release  is ready to be cut, the person responsible for cutting the release will follow the
       following steps (written using the 3000 release as an example):

       1.  Create first public draft of release notes with major features.

       2.  Remove any deprecations for the upcoming release.

       3.  Ensure all required features are merged.

       4.  Create issue to start the process of deprecating for the next feature release.

       5.  Run through a manual test run based off of the head of the feature branch.

       6.  Update all name references to version number in the docs. For example all neon references in the docs
           needs to be moved to v3000

       7.  Review the release notes with major features.

       8.  Generate the new man pages for the release.

       9.  Create internal RC tag for testing from the head of the master branch.

       10. Build latest windows, mac, ubuntu, debian and redhat packages.

       11. Run manual and package tests against new RC packages.

       12. Push the internal tag live to salt's repo.

       13. Publish release archive to pypi based off tag.

       14. Push the RC packages live.

       15. Announce new RC to salt-users and salt-announce google groups.

       16. Triage incoming issues based on the new RC release.

       17. Fix RC issues once they are categorized as a release blocker.

       18. Depending on the issues found during the RC process make a decesion on whether to release  based  off
           the RC or go through another RC process

       19. If a RC is categorized as stable, build all required packages.

       20. Test all release packages.

       21. Test links from repo.saltproject.io.

       22. Update installation instructions with new release number at repo.saltproject.io.

       23. Review and update all impacted installation documentation.

       24. Update and build docs to include new version (3000) as the latest.

       25. Pre-announce on salt-users google group that we are about to update our repo.

       26. Publish release (v3000) archive to pypi based off tag.

       27. Publish all packages live to repo.

       28. Publish the docs.

       29. Create release at github

       30. Update win-repo-ng with new salt versions.

       31. Announce release is live to irc, salt-users, salt-announce and release slack community channel.

   Bugfix Releases
       Once  a feature release branch has been cut from the master branch, if serious bugs or a CVE is found for
       the most recent release a bugfix release will need to be cut. A temporary branch will  be  created  based
       off  of the previous release tag. For example, if it is determined that a 3000.1 release needs to occur a
       3000.1 branch will be created based off of the v3000 tag. The fixes that need to go into 3000.1  will  be
       added and merged into this branch. Here are the steps for a bugfix release.

       1.  Ensure all required bug fixes are merged.

       2.  Create release branch with the version of the release. (ex. 3000.1)

       3.  Create jenkins jobs that test the new release branch.

       4.  Run through a manual test run based off of the head of the branch.

       5.  Generate the new man pages for the release.

       6.  Create internal tag for testing.(ex v3000.1)

       7.  Build all release packages.

       8.  Run manual and package tests against new packages.

       9.  Update installation instructions with new release number at repo.saltproject.io.

       10. Update and build docs to include new version. (ex. 3000.1)

       11. Pre-announce on salt-users google groups that we are about to update our repo.

       12. Push the internal tag live to salt's repo.

       13. Publish release archive to pypi based off tag.

       14. Push the packages live.

       15. Publish release (v3000) archive to pypi based off tag.

       16. Publish all packages live to repo.

       17. Publish the docs.

       18. Create release at github

       19. Update win-repo-ng with new salt versions.

       20. Announce release is live to irc, salt-users, salt-announce and release slack channel.

   Salt Coding Style
       To  make  it  easier to contribute and read Salt code, SaltStack has adopted Black as its code formatter.
       There are a few places where Black is silent, and this guide should be used in those cases.

       Coding style is NEVER grounds to reject code contributions, and is never grounds to talk down to  another
       member  of the community (There are no grounds to treat others without respect, especially people working
       to improve Salt)!

   Linting
       Most Salt style conventions are codified  in  Salt's  .pylintrc  file.   Salt's  linting  has  two  major
       dependencies:    pylint   and   saltpylint,   the   full   lint   requirements   can   be   found   under
       requirements/static/ci/lint.in         and          the          pinned          requirements          at
       requirements/static/ci/py3.<minor-version>/lint.txt,  however, linting should be done using nox, which is
       how pull requests are checked.

          nox -e lint

       One can target either salt's source code or the test suite(different pylint rules apply):

          nox -e lint-salt
          nox -e lint-tests

   Variables
       Variables should be a minimum of three characters and should provide an easy-to-understand  name  of  the
       object being represented.

       When  keys  and  values  are  iterated  over, descriptive names should be used to represent the temporary
       variables.

       Multi-word variables should be separated by an underscore.

       Variables which are two-letter words should have an underscore appended to them  to  pad  them  to  three
       characters.

   Formatting Strings
       All strings which require formatting should use the .format string method:

       Please do NOT use printf formatting, unless it's a log message.

       Good:

          data = "some text"
          more = "{} and then some".format(data)
          log.debug("%s and then some", data)

       Bad:

          data = "some text"
          log.debug("{} and then some".format(data))

   Docstring Conventions
       When  adding  a  new function or state, where possible try to use a versionadded directive to denote when
       the function, state, or parameter was added.

          def new_func(msg=""):
              """
              .. versionadded:: 0.16.0

              Prints what was passed to the function.

              msg : None
                  The string to be printed.
              """
              print(msg)

       If you are uncertain what version should be used, either consult a core developer in IRC or bring this up
       when opening your pull request and a core developer will let you know what version to add. Typically this
       will be the next element in the periodic table.

       Similar to the above, when an existing function or state is modified (for example, when  an  argument  is
       added),  then  under the explanation of that new argument a versionadded directive should be used to note
       the version in which the new argument was added. If an argument's  function  changes  significantly,  the
       versionchanged directive can be used to clarify this:

          def new_func(msg="", signature=""):
              """
              .. versionadded:: 0.16.0

              Prints what was passed to the function.

              msg : None
                  The string to be printed. Will be prepended with 'Greetings! '.

              .. versionchanged:: 0.17.1

              signature : None
                  An optional signature.

              .. versionadded:: 0.17.0
              """
              print("Greetings! {0}\n\n{1}".format(msg, signature))

   Dictionaries
       Dictionaries should be initialized using {} instead of dict().

       See here for an in-depth discussion of this topic.

   Imports
       Salt  code  prefers  importing  modules  and  not explicit functions. This is both a style and functional
       preference. The functional preference originates around the fact that the module import  system  used  by
       pluggable  modules  will  include callable objects (functions) that exist in the direct module namespace.
       This is not only messy, but may unintentionally expose code python libs to the Salt interface and pose  a
       security problem.

       To say this more directly with an example, this is GOOD:

          import os

          def minion_path():
              path = os.path.join(self.opts["cachedir"], "minions")
              return path

       This on the other hand is DISCOURAGED:

          from os.path import join

          def minion_path():
              path = join(self.opts["cachedir"], "minions")
              return path

       The  time  when  this  is changed is for importing exceptions, generally directly importing exceptions is
       preferred:

       This is a good way to import exceptions:

          from salt.exceptions import CommandExecutionError

   Absolute Imports
       Although absolute imports seems like an awesome idea,  please  do  not  use  it.   Extra  care  would  be
       necessary all over salt's code in order for absolute imports to work as supposed. Believe it, it has been
       tried before and, as a tried example, by renaming salt.modules.sysmod to salt.modules.sys, all other salt
       modules which needed to import sys would have to also import absolute_import, which should be avoided.

       NOTE:
          An  exception  to  this rule is the absolute_import from __future__ at the top of each file within the
          Salt project. This import is necessary for Py3 compatibility. This particular import looks like this:

              from __future__ import absolute_import

          This import is required for all new Salt files and is a good idea to  add  to  any  custom  states  or
          modules.  However,  the  practice  of avoiding absolute imports still applies to all other cases as to
          avoid a name conflict.

   Code Churn
       Many pull requests have been submitted that only churn code in the name of PEP 8. Code churn is a leading
       source of bugs and is strongly discouraged.  While style fixes are encouraged they should be isolated  to
       a  single file per commit, and the changes should be legitimate, if there are any questions about whether
       a  style  change  is  legitimate  please  reference  this  document   and   the   official   PEP   8   (‐
       https://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) document before changing code. Many claims that a change is
       PEP 8 have been invalid, please double check before committing fixes.

   Contents
   salt.aggregation
   salt.utils.aggregation
       This library makes it possible to introspect dataset and aggregate nodes when it is instructed.

       NOTE:
          The following examples with be expressed in YAML for convenience's sake:

          • !aggr-scalar will refer to Scalar python function

          • !aggr-map will refer to Map python object

          • !aggr-seq will refer for Sequence python object

   How to instructs merging
       This yaml document has duplicate keys:

          foo: !aggr-scalar first
          foo: !aggr-scalar second
          bar: !aggr-map {first: foo}
          bar: !aggr-map {second: bar}
          baz: !aggr-scalar 42

       but tagged values instruct Salt that overlapping values they can be merged together:

          foo: !aggr-seq [first, second]
          bar: !aggr-map {first: foo, second: bar}
          baz: !aggr-seq [42]

   Default merge strategy is keep untouched
       For example, this yaml document still has duplicate keys, but does not instruct aggregation:

          foo: first
          foo: second
          bar: {first: foo}
          bar: {second: bar}
          baz: 42

       So the late found values prevail:

          foo: second
          bar: {second: bar}
          baz: 42

   Limitations
       Aggregation  is  permitted  between  tagged  objects that share the same type.  If not, the default merge
       strategy prevails.

       For example, these examples:

          foo: {first: value}
          foo: !aggr-map {second: value}

          bar: !aggr-map {first: value}
          bar: 42

          baz: !aggr-seq [42]
          baz: [fail]

          qux: 42
          qux: !aggr-scalar fail

       are interpreted like this:

          foo: !aggr-map{second: value}

          bar: 42

          baz: [fail]

          qux: !aggr-seq [fail]

       API, etc) can handle those errors appropriately and display error messages appropriately.

   The Salt Fileserver and Client
   Introduction
       Salt  has a modular fileserver, and multiple client classes which are used to interact with it. This page
       serves as a developer's reference, to help explain how the fileserver and clients both work.

   Fileserver
       The fileserver is not a daemon, so the fileserver and client are not a true  server  and  client  in  the
       traditional  sense.  Instead,  the  fileserver is simply a class (salt.fileserver.Fileserver), located in
       salt/fileserver/__init__.py. This class has access to the configured fileserver  backends  via  a  loader
       instance,  referenced  as  self.servers.  When a request comes in from the fileclient, it will ultimately
       result in a Fileserver class function being run.

       The functions in this class will run corresponding functions in the  configured  fileserver  backends  to
       perform the requested action. So, in summary:

       1. A fileclient class makes a request...

       2. which triggers the fileserver to run a function...

       3. which runs a named function in each of the configured backends.

       Not  all  of  the  functions will always execute on every configured backend. For instance, the find_file
       function in the fileserver will stop when it finds a match, so if it finds a match for the  desired  path
       in  the  first  configured  backend, it won't proceed and try to find the file in the next backend in the
       list.

       Additionally, not all backends implement all  functions  in  the  salt.fileserver.Fileserver  class.  For
       instance,  there  is a function called update, which exists to update remote fileservers such as the git,
       hg, and svn backends. This action has no  use  however  in  the  roots  backend,  so  it  is  simply  not
       implemented  there,  and  thus  the  roots  backend  will be skipped if the update function is run on the
       fileserver.

       Backends for the fileserver are located in salt/fileserver/ (the files not named __init__.py).

   Fileclient
       There are three fileclient classes:

   salt.fileclient.RemoteClient
       This client is used when file_client is set to remote. This is how minions request files from the master.

       Functions in this client will craft a payload and send it to the master via the transport  channel.  This
       is  the same way that the minion asks the minion to do other things, such as updating and requesting data
       from the mine. The payload will be a dictionary with a key called cmd, and other values as needed.

       Payloads sent via the transport channel are processed my an MWorker  instance  on  the  master,  and  the
       MWorker's  _handle_aes()  function  will execute the command. The command will be a function attribute of
       the  salt.master.AESFuncs  class.  The  AESFuncs  class'  __setup_fileserver()  function  instantiates  a
       salt.fileserver.Fileserver  instance  and  maps its member functions to AESFuncs attributes. This is what
       makes the fileserver functions available remotely. The result of the function is  returned  back  through
       the transport channel to the minion.

       Transporting files is done in chunks, the size of which is decided by the file_buffer_size config option.
       If you look at the serve_file() function in any of the fileserver backends, you can see how the loc value
       in  the  payload  determines  the  offset  so  that  an intermediate chunk of the file can be served. The
       RemoteClient's get_file() function will loop until the end of the file is reached, retrieving  one  chunk
       at a time.

   salt.fileclient.FSClient
       This client is used when file_client is set to local. This is how masterless minions request files.

       This  class inherits from the RemoteClient, but instead of using a transport channel (zmq, tcp, etc.), it
       uses a "fake" transport channel (salt.fileserver.FSChan),  which  implements  its  own  send()  function.
       Thus,  when  a  function  that the FSClient inherits from the RemoteClient runs self.channel.send(), it's
       actually  calling   salt.fileserver.FSChan.send(),   which   calls   corresponding   functions   in   the
       salt.fileserver.Fileserver()  class.  The  result is that local file requests use the same code as remote
       file requests, they just bypass sending them through an actual transport channel and instead call them on
       the FSChan's Fileserver instance.

   salt.fileclient.LocalClient
       This client is now used exclusively by Pillar. This used to be used when file_client was  set  to  local,
       but  the  FSChan  class  was  written  to allow minions with file_client: local to access the full set of
       backends.  This  class  will  probably  be  renamed  at  some  point  as  it  is  often   confused   with
       salt.client.LocalClient.

   The cp Module
       Most  of the user-facing interaction with the fileclient happens via the cp module. The functions in this
       module instantiate a fileclient instance (if one is not already saved to the __context__ dunder) and  run
       fileclient functions.

   Updating the Fileserver
       The master daemon spawns a process dedicated to routine maintenance tasks upon startup. This process runs
       an  instance  of  salt.master.Maintenance,  which  loops  forever, running a series of functions and then
       sleeping for a length of time determined by the loop_interval config option. One of the maintenance tasks
       is to update the fileserver, and it essentially runs  salt.fileserver.Fileserver.update(),  which  as  we
       know  from  above  will  run  all configured backends' update() functions, if present. This is now remote
       fileservers like git, hg, and svn stay up-to-date.

       For the local file_client (FSClient), since it does not interact with the master, upon  spawning  of  its
       FSChan it will update the fileserver.

   Salt opts dictionary
       It is very common in the Salt codebase to see opts referred to in a number of contexts.

       For  example, it can be seen as __opts__ in certain cases, or simply as opts as an argument to a function
       in others.

       Simply put, this data structure is a dictionary of Salt's runtime configuration information that's passed
       around in order for functions to know how Salt is configured.

       When writing Python code to use specific parts of Salt, it may become necessary to initialize a  copy  of
       opts from scratch in order to have it available for a given function.

       To do so, use the utility functions available in salt.config.

       As an example, here is how one might generate and print an options dictionary for a minion instance:

          import salt.config

          opts = salt.config.minion_config("/etc/salt/minion")
          print(opts)

       To generate and display opts for a master, the process is similar:

          import salt.config

          opts = salt.config.master_config("/etc/salt/master")
          print(opts)

   Unicode in Salt
       Though  Unicode  handling  in large projects can often be complex, Salt adheres to several basic rules to
       help developers handle Unicode correctly.

       (For a basic introduction to this problem, see Ned Batchelder's  excellent  intoroduction  to  the  topic
       <http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain/unipain.html>.

       Salt's basic workflow for Unicode handling is as follows:

       1. Salt  should  convert whatever data is passed on CLI/API to Unicode.  Internally, everything that Salt
          does should be Unicode unless it is printing to the screen or writing to storage.

       2. Modules and various Salt pluggable systems use incoming data assuming Unicode.

          2.1) For Salt modules that query an API; the module should convert the data
                 received from the API into Unicode.

          2.2) For Salt modules that shell out to get output; the module should
                 convert data received into Unicode. (This does not apply if using  the  cmd  execution  module,
                 which should handle this for you.

          2.3) For Salt modules which print directly to the console (not via an
                 outputter)  or  which  write  directly to disk, a string should be encoded when appropriate. To
                 handle this conversion,  the  global  variable  __salt_system_encoding__  is  available,  which
                 declares the locale of the system that Salt is running on.

       3. When a function in a Salt module returns a string, it should return a unicode type in Python 2.

       4. When  Salt delivers the data to an outputter or a returner, it is the job of the outputter or returner
          to encode the Unicode before displaying it on the console or writing it to storage.

       • The salt-run CLI now accepts --jid (#59527)

       • Add bytes option for FreeBSD pkg-stats(8) module. (#59540)

       • Adding  mod_beacon  function to pkg, service, and file state modules. This function will act similar to
         the mod_watch function. This will allow supported functions in those state modules to automatically add
         associated beacons to monitor for changes to the respective resources in the state file and fire events
         to the event bus when changes occur. (#59559)

       • Add -B flag to FreeBSD pkgng.check() to regenerate the library dependency metadata  for  a  package  by
         extracting library requirement information from the binary ELF files in the package. (#59569)

       • Updating the pkg beacon to fire the events when there are upgrades to packages, but also  when  watched
         packages are installed or removed. Breaking out the logic for listing pkgs from context into a separate
         function  to  aid  in  testing. Updating tests to ensure context is not used when use_context option to
         list_pkgs is False. (#59463)

   Removed
       • Removed the deprecated glance state and execution module in favor of the glance_image state module  and
         the glanceng execution module. (#59079)

       • Removing  the  _ext_nodes  deprecation warning and alias to the master_tops function.  This change will
         break compatibility with a Salt master running versions 2017.7.8 and older  and  Salt  minions  running
         versions 3003 and newer. (#59804)

         • Added checks before "pop" the elements  "bulk"  and  "details"  from  hostinterfaces_get's  response.
           Without that, the interface comparison didn't works with Zabbix >= 5.0

         • Fixed the "inventory" comparison. It failed when both current and new inventory were missing.

         • Rewrite  of  the update_interfaces routine to really "update" the interfaces and not trying to delete
           and recreate all interfaces, which almost always gives errors as interfaces with linked  items  can't
           be deleted. (#58603)

         Adding tests when pkg.installed is called with hold=False. (#58883)

       • Fixing  the  two  failing  tests  when  running  on Photon OS. Python 3 installed on Photon OS does not
         support MD4 hashing, so don't load pdbedit module and  skip  the  test_generate_nt_hash  test.  Default
         unmask  for  files and directories results in them having only user and group permissions so update the
         test_directory_max_depth test. (#58991)

       • Fixes to netmiko module and proxy module to handle situations where the device  is  unreachable  during
         the initial connection phase. (#59011)

   Salt 3003.1 Release Notes
       Version 3003.1 is a bug fix release for 3003.

   Fixed
       • Fixed  race  condition  in  batch logic. Added listen option to LocalClient to prevent event subscriber
         from purging cached events during batch iteration. (#56273)

       • Fixed dependencies for Amazon Linux 2 on https://repo.saltproject.io since Amazon Linux 2 now  provides
         some of the python libraries in their repos. (#59982)

       • IPCMessageSubscriber  objects  expose  their  connect  method  as a coroutine so they can be wrapped by
         SyncWrapper. (#60049)

       • Import salt.utils.azurearm instead of using __utils__ from loader in azure cloud.  This fixes an  issue
         where __utils__ would become unavailable when we are using the ThreadPool in azurearm. (#59744)

       • Use  contextvars  library  from site-packages if it is intalled. Fixes salt ssh for targets with python
         <=3.6 (#59942)

       • Add back support to load old entrypoints by iterating instead of type checking (#59961)

       • Pass the value of the __grains__ NamedContext to salt.pillar.get_pillar, instead  of  the  NamedContext
         object itself. (#59975)

       • Add ssh_timeout to kwargs in deploy_script (#59901)

       • Update  the  external ipaddress to the latest 3.9.5 version which has some security fixes. Updating the
         compat.p to use the  vendored  version  if  the  python  version  is  below  3.9.5  and  only  run  the
         test_ipaddress.py tests if below 3.9.5. (#60168)

       • Use the right crypto library for salt.utils.crypt.reinit_crypto (#60215)

   Fixed
       • Fix issue introduced in https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/59648 (#60046)

   Security
       • Verify  the  owner  of  an  existing  config  before trusting it during install. If the owner cannot be
         verified, back it up and use defaults. (CVE-2021-22004)

       • Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

   Salt 3002 Release Notes - Codename Magnesium
   New Features
   Network Teaming Support Added (RHEL/CentOS)
       Support for two new interface types (team and teamport) has been added to the network.managed state.  See
       the documentation for example usage.

   Execution Module Changes
       The  ip.get_bond  and  ip.build_bond  functions  have  been  removed  from the ip module for RHEL/CentOS.
       Configuring bonding opts in modprobe configurations has not been necessary since RHEL 4, and Salt was  in
       fact redundantly both creating modprobe configurations and using the BONDING_OPTS interface configuration
       parameter.

   Removed
       • removed boto_vpc.describe_route_table please use boto_vpc.describe_route_tables (#58636)

       • removed show_ipv4 arg from all functions in from salt.runners.manage (#58638)

       • removed kwargs from mandrill.send if you use "async" please use "asynchronous" (#58640)

       • removed salt/modules/mac_brew_pkg.__fix_cask_namespace (#58641)

       • zfs.mount Passing '-a' as name is deprecated please just pass 'None' (#58642)

       • Remove include_localhost kwarg for connected_ids method in salt/utils/minions.py (#58224)

       • deprecated opts default argument of none and removed deprecation warnings (#58635)

   Deprecated
       • The  ssh  parameter  of  virt.migrate has been deprecated. Use a libvirt URI target value instead. Both
         virt.migrate_non_shared and virt.migrate_non_shared_inc have  been  deprecated.  Use  the  copy_storage
         parameter with virt.migrate instead. (#57947)

   Changed
       • Allow specifying a custom port for Proxmox connection (#50620)

       • Changed  the  lvm.lv_present state to accept a resizefs switch. So, when the logical volume is resized,
         the filesystem will be resized too. (#55265)

       • Change the enable_fqdns_grains setting to default to False on proxy minions  as  it  is  generally  not
         needed and just slows down start up time.. (#57676)

       • Adds  network  teaming support to network.managed state for RHEL-based distros. Removes ip.get_bond and
         ip.build_bond for the same, as is redundant and not  needed  for  any  current  RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/etc.
         release. (#57775)

       • The  serializer  argument  has  been added to the file.serialize state, as an alternative to formatter.
         This brings it more in line with the serializer_opts  and  deserializer_opts  arguments.  formatter  is
         still supported, but using both serializer and formatter will cause the state to fail. (#57858)

   Fixedfile.read exec module function no longer fails on binary data. (#58033)

       • Remove py2 support from winrepo execution module and runner (#58596)

       • Create ini file if does not exist when using ini.options_present state module. (#34236)

       • Added  an  bool  "strict"  argument  to  sdb.get  module  to force module to fail if the sdb uri is not
         correct. (#39163)

       • Fixed issue with postgres.has_privilege breaking on ALL. (#48465)

       • check for azurearm username in config before adding  username  and  password  to  the  virtual  machine
         properties (#49063)

       • Fixes  service.status to return True/False instead of empty strings or PIDs of the service. This brings
         macOS into parity with the other service modules. (#49237)

       • fix frequent rest_tornado non-fatal tracebacks (#49572)

       • Do not use reverse DNS of the target used in salt-ssh. Use the target the user provides. (#49840)

       • Fixes startup issue where it tried to load the kernalparams grain on Windows (#49901)

       • Fixed error in nilrt_ip.get_interfaces_details when loading config. (#50416)

                • the state postgres_cluster.absent

                • the module postgres.cluster_create

                • the module postgres.cluster_remove (#50899)

       • Fixed mkpart to allow the creation of a partition without filesystem (#54456)

       • Fixes bogus warning message when an empty list is used for an environment in a topfile. This allows  []
         to  be  used  as  a placeholder in a topfile without needing to comment everything out as a workaround.
         (#54882)

       • win_certutil state will no longer fail on non-English systems upon successful additions  and  deletions
         of a certificate. (#55024)

       • Fixed file.directory state always showing mode change for symlinks. (#55878)

       • check  for  a  docker  error that the swarm already exists when calling swarm.swarm_init on an existing
         docker swarm (#55949)

       • Fixing stalekey engine so it deletes the keys when they are a list. (#55977)

       • An invalid _schedule.conf configuration  file  is  renamed  to  _schedule.confYAMLError.   This  avoids
         disabling the minion and busy polling the CPU on Windows. (#56216, #58177)

       • Proper calculation of tpldir and related context parameters (#56410)

       • Make gpg.encrypt examples work (#56646)

       • Artifactory encoding of headers fixed for py3 (#56660)

       • The 2004 release of Windows 10 introduced a bug in the InstallationBehavior COM object where you can no
         longer get properties from that object. Calls to this object are now wrapped in a try/except block with
         sane defaults when it fails to read attributes.

         Additionally,  some pre-flight checks have been added to the win_wua module to make sure Windows Update
         can actually run. (#57762)

       • Changed get_repo in yumpkg.py to use "repo" as first parameter.  This fixes #57778, a  bug  were  every
         run  of  pkgrepo.managed  state  were  marked  as  changed  because  the  get_repo did fail to detect a
         previously applied run. (#57778)

       • Raise SaltClientError in parse_host_port insted of ValueError so it is caught and handled properly when
         the minion is connecting to the master. (#57789)

       • Fixed issue with the return dictionary from the  workgroup()  function  in  the  salt.states.win_system
         module.  This  resulted  in  a  windows-based  minion  logging an error and could also interfere with a
         highstate being applied. (#57790)

       • Fixes broken block_device_mapping and  block_device_mapping_v2  type  checks  in  the  OpenStack  cloud
         driver. Salt was looking for a dict and the shade library was looking for a list of dicts. This made it
         impossible to use those params. (#57802)

       • Fixed incorrect parsing of Set-Cookie response headers. (#57829)

       • When using yumpkg, report stdout when stderr is redirected to stdout. (#57862)

       • Fixes  an  issue  on  macOS where if you try and restart the macOS using serivce.restart salt-minion it
         would fail because the service names are different on macOS. (#57878)

       • Fixes an issue on macOS where salt would take extra time to run on a service.dead call and the  service
         is missing. (#57907)

       • Fixes  an  issue  where  a disabled macOS and Windows service would fail to start with service.running.
         (#57908)

       • Use "use_bin_type" to differentiate between bytes and str when writing cache  for  pillar  and  grains.
         (#57918)

       • Set the comment to "No minions responded" if salt.function fails to find any minions (#57920)

       • Fix issue with __utils__ usage in the __virtual__ functions on a few of the execution modules. (#57948)

       • remove    encoding    kwarg    for   both   pack(b)/unpack(b)   in   msgpack   for   versions   >=1.0.0
         https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-python/blob/master/ChangeLog.rst#100 (#57965)

       • Replace deprecated cgi.escape() with html.escape() after it was removed from Python 3.8. (#57983)

       • Fix btrfs state decorator, that produces exceptions when creating subvolumes. (#58012)

       • Fix kubeadm token_list when the list of tokens is empty (#58116)

       • Add a fix for the mac_service modules where it would fail to load in some new services and crash on Big
         Sur. (#58143)

       • Fix blank tplfile context parameter when loading top level sls files (#58249)

       • Do not include init directory in sls context parameters if explicitly specified (#58250)

       • Fixing pillar caching when pillar environments are involved. (#58274)

       • Make  proxy_config  read  in  the  proxy  specific  configuration   which   is   typically   found   in
         /etc/salt/proxy.d/minionid/. (#58307)

       • Add timeout kwarg docs for service.running and service.dead (#58311)

       • Return  empty  dict  on  win_pdh.get_counters  rather than raising exception when no data are available
         (#58327)

       • Leave boot parameters untouched if boot parameter is set to None in virt.update (#58331)

       • Convert disks of volume type to file or block disks on Xen (#58333)

       • Apparently Apple is using both "10.16" and "11" for versioning Big Sur, depending on  where  you  look.
         The mac_softwareupdate module uses a different regex depending on OS version, and the determination was
         based  on  the  osrelease_info  grain.  This  results in a Big Sur machine not using the correct regex;
         osrelease_info[1] is 0 for Big Sur.

         This change simply adds an additional clause to  the  if  statement  to  handle  osmajorrelease  >  10.
         (#58340)

       • Fixed zmq salt-call hang!

         Some  objects  from  the  3rd party module zmq fail to deconstruct if left to the GC when Python exits.
         This is because the objects get destroyed out of order.  This  only  happens  on  some  platforms  like
         ubuntu 20.04 and some versions of FreeBSD.  We fixed this hang by deconstructing all zmq objects in the
         right order before we exit salt-call. (#58364)

       • Reactor runner functions will now ensure reactor system is available before attempting to run and error
         out if it is not available. (#58384)

       • Fix enpoint typos (#58416)

       • Make sure we repopulate __utils__ on Windows when a job is run from the scheduler. (#58437)

       • Adding  a  check  when  a  source is an HTTP or FTP URL to do a query to ensure the URL is valid before
         returning, then we know if we need to move onto to the next source in the list or not. (#58441)

       • Improved documentation for the LGPO state module (#58521)

       • Remove old documented pending reboot key (#58530)

       • On macOS, skip GUI dialog for Developer Command Line Tools when importing gitfs util. (#58575)

       • Fixing a use case when multiple inotify beacons are  defined  but  when  notifications  are  fired  the
         configuration from the first beacon are used. (#58655)

   Added
       • salt-api  will  now  work  on Windows platforms with limited support. You will be able to configure the
         rest_cherrypy module, without pam external authentication and without ssl support.(#49949)

       • Added execution_timeout support to chocolatey.installed state (#50449)

       • Add new verify_ssl option to file modules. This allows a user to not validate  the  server  certificate

         fixes to tpldir, tplfile and sls_path.  This flag will be deprecated in  the  Phosphorus  release  when
         this functionality becomes the default. (#58652)

   Salt 3002.1 Release Notes
       Version 3002.1 is a CVE fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Prevent shell injections in netapi ssh client (cve-2020-16846)

       • Prevent creating world readable private keys with the tls execution module. (cve-2020-17490)

       • Properly  validate  eauth credentials and tokens along with their ACLs.  Prior to this change eauth was
         not properly validated when calling Salt ssh via the salt-api. Any value for 'eauth' or  'token'  would
         allow a user to bypass authentication and make calls to Salt ssh. (CVE-2020-25592)

   Salt 3002.2 Release Notes
       Version 3002.2 is a bugfix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Change dict check to isinstance instead of type() for key_values in file.keyvalue. (#57758)

       • Fail when func_ret is False when using the new module.run syntax. (#57768)

       • Fix comparison of certificate values (#58296)

       • When using ssh_pre_flight if there is a failure, fail on retcode not stderr. (#58439)

       • Fix use of unauthd cached vmware service instance (#58691)

       • Removing use of undefined varilable in utils/slack.py. (#58753)

       • Restored the ability to specify the amount of extents for a Logical Volume as a percentage. (#58759)

       • Ensuring that the version check function is run a second time in all the user related functions in case
         the user being managed is the connection user and the password has been updated. (#58773)

       • Allow bytes in gpg renderer (#58794)

       • Fix issue where win_wua module fails to load when BITS is set to Manual (#58848)

       • Ensure that elasticsearch.index_exists is available before loading the elasticsearch returner. (#58851)

       • Log  a different object when debugging if we're using disk cache vs memory cache. The disk cache pillar
         class has the dict object but the cache pillar object which is used with  the  memory  cache  does  not
         include a _dict obeject because it is a dict already. (#58861)

       • Do not generate grains for every job run on Windows minions. This makes Windows conform more to the way
         posix OSes work today. (#58904)

       • Fixes salt-ssh authentication when using tty (#58922)

       • Revert LazyLoader finalizer. Removed the weakref.finalizer code. On some occasions, the finalized would
         run when trying to load a new module, firing a race condition. (#58947)

   Salt 3002.3 Release Notes
       Version 3002.3 is a CVE fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • CVE-2020-28243 - Fix local privilege escalation in the restartcheck module.

       • CVE-2020-28972  -  Ensure  authentication  to  vcenter,  vsphere, and esxi server validates the SSL/TLS
         certificate by default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2020-35662 - Ensure the asam runner, qingcloud, splunk returner, panos proxy,  cimc  proxy,  zenoss
         module,  esxi  module, vsphere module, glassfish module, bigip module, and keystone module validate SSL
         by default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2021-3148 - Fix a command injection in the Salt-API when using the Salt-SSH client.

       • CVE-2021-3144 - Fix eauth tokens can be used once after expiration

       • CVE-2021-25281 - Fix salt-api so it honors eauth credentials for the wheel_async client.

       • CVE-2021-25282 - Fix the salt.wheel.pillar_roots.write method so it  is  not  vulnerable  to  directory
         traversal.

       • CVE-2021-25283 - Fix the jinja render to protect against server side template injection attacks.

       • CVE-2021-25284 - Fix cmdmod so it will not log credentials to log levels info and error.

       • CVE-2021-3197 - Fix ssh client to remove ProxyCommand from arguments provided by cli and netapi.

   Salt 3002.4 Release Notes
       Version 3002.4 is a bug fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Fix runners that broke when patching for CVE-2021-25281

       • Fix issue with runners in SSE

   Known Issue
       When using the Salt-API with the SSH client some of the SSH options are not working currently and will be
       fixed in an upcoming bug fix release.  We are currently testing and fixing which options still need to be
       fixed,  but  have  confirmed  the following ones do not work in this release: extra-filerefs, pre-flight.
       This does not impact normal Salt-SSH usage on the cli.

   Salt 3002.5 Release Notes
       Version 3002.5 is a cve fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Tests and fix for CVE-2021-25283

   Salt 3002.6 Release Notes
       Version 3002.6 is a bug fix release for 3002.

   Changed
       • Store  git  sha  in  salt/_version.py  when  installing  from a tag so it can be found if needed later.
         (#59137)

   Fixed
       • Fix  argument  injection  bug  in  restartcheck.restartcheck.  This  change   hardens   the   fix   for

         tuples as cmd. (#59664)

       • Allow all ssh kwargs as sanitized kwargs for SSH client. (#59748)

   Salt 3002.7 (2021-08-20)
       Version 3002.7 is a CVE security fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Verify the owner of an existing config before trusting it  during  install.  If  the  owner  cannot  be
         verified, back it up and use defaults. (CVE-2021-22004)

   Security
       • Fix  the  CVE-2021-31607  vulnerability  Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place, bandit, to
         address similar issues througout the code base, and prevent them. (CVE-2021-31607)

       • Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

   Salt 3001 Release Notes - Codename Sodium
   Python 2 Dropped
       Python       2       support       has       been       dropped       in       Salt       3001.       See
       https://community.saltstack.com/blog/sunsetting-python-2-support/ for more info.

   Salt mine updates
   Syntax update
       The  syntax  for defining salt functions in config or pillar files has changed to also support the syntax
       used in module.run.  The old syntax for the mine_function - as a dict, or  as  a  list  with  dicts  that
       contain  more  than  exactly  one  key  - is still supported but discouraged in favor of the more uniform
       syntax of module.run.

   State updates
       The creates state requisite has been migrated from the docker_container and cmd states to become a global
       option. This acts similar to an equivalent unless: test -f  filename  but  can  also  accept  a  list  of
       filenames.  This  allows  all states to take advantage of the enhanced functionality released in Neon, of
       allowing salt execution modules for requisite checks.

       When using salt functions onlyif or unless requisites, a get_return key can now be used to specify a  key
       to evaluate for truthiness. This can be used for execution modules which return status in a nested key.

              test:
                test.nop:
                  - name: foo
                  - onlyif:
                    - fun: consul.get
                      consul_url: http://127.0.0.1:8500
                      key:  not-existing
                      get_return: res

   State Execution Module
       The  state.test function can be used to test a state on a minion. This works by executing the state.apply
       function while forcing the test kwarg to True so that the state.apply function  is  not  required  to  be
       called  by  the  user  directly.  This  also  allows  you  to  add  the state.test function to a minion's
       minion_blackout_whitelist pillar if you wish to be able to test a state while a minion is in blackout.

   New Grains
   systempath
       This grain provides the same information as the path grain, only formatted as a list of directories.

   Salt-SSH updates
   ssh_pre_flight
       A new Salt-SSH roster option ssh_pre_flight has been added. This enables  you  to  run  a  script  before
       Salt-SSH  tries  to  run any commands. You can set this option in the roster for a specific minion or use
       the roster_defaults to set it for all minions.

       Example for setting ssh_pre_flight for specific host in roster file

          minion1:
            host: localhost
            user: root
            passwd: P@ssword
            ssh_pre_flight: /srv/salt/pre_flight.sh

       Example for setting ssh_pre_flight using roster_defaults, so all minions run this script.

          roster_defaults:
            ssh_pre_flight: /srv/salt/pre_flight.sh

       The ssh_pre_flight script will only run if the thin dir is not currently on the minion. If  you  want  to
       force the script to run you have the following options:

       • Wipe the thin dir on the targeted minion using the -w arg.

       • Set ssh_run_pre_flight to True in the config.

       • Run salt-ssh with the --pre-flight arg.

   set_path
       A  new  salt-ssh  roster  option  set_path  has  been  added. This allows you to set the path environment
       variable used to run the salt-ssh command on the target minion.  You can set this setting in your  roster
       file like so:

          minion1:
            host: localhost
            user: root
            passwd: P@ssword
            set_path: '$PATH:/usr/local/bin/'

   auto_detect
       You   can   now  auto  detect  the  dependencies  to  be  packed  into  the  salt  thin  when  using  the
       ssh_ext_alternatives feature.

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  auto_detect: True       # Auto detect dependencies
                  py_bin: /usr/bin/python2.7 # Python binary path used to auto detect dependencies

       This new auto_detect option needs to be set to True in your ssh_ext_alternatives configuration.  Salt-ssh
       will attempt to auto detect the file paths required for the default dependencies to include in the  thin.
       If  you  have a dependency already set in your configuration, it will not attempt to auto detect for that
       dependency.

       You can also set the py_bin option to set the python binary to be used to auto detect  the  dependencies.
       If  py_bin is not set, it will attempt to use the major Python version set in py-version. For example, if
       you set py-version to be [2, 7] it will attempt to find and use the python2 binary.

   State Changes
       • Adding a new option for the State compiler, disabled_requisites will allow requisites  to  be  disabled
         during State runs.

   Salt Renderer updates
       A new renderer for toml files has been added.

          #!jinja|toml

          {% set myvar = "sometext" %}

          [["some id"."test.nop"]]
          name = "{{ myvar }}"
          [["some id"."test.nop"]]
          txt = "hello"
          [["some id"."test.nop"]]
          "somekey" = "somevalue"

   Execution Module updates
   Vault Module
       The  vault  module  has  been  updated with the ability to cache generated tokens. By specifying uses and
       optionally ttl, the token generated on behalf of the minion will be allowed to persist and  function  for
       the  defined  time period or number of uses. Setting uses: 0 creates an unlimited use token, that is only
       constrained by the ttl.

          vault:
            auth:
              uses: 25

       This functionality is configured by default on the master and is thus  shared  behavior  for  all  minion
       token  generation.   To  delegate use count to individual minions, specify allow_minion_override: True in
       the master config, and define uses and ttl in the minion config as directed above.

          vault:
          auth:
            method: token
            allow_minion_override: True

       Additionally, the vault module now supports Vault secrets backend  version  2.  The  approperate  secrets
       backend  will  be  automatically  detected,  and  cached in the same credentials file as long lived vault
       tokens mentioned above. For any configurations that worked around KV v2 handling by adding a manual  data
       key  to  the  end  of  vault  lookups,  salt['vault'].read_secret('secret/my/secret')['data'],  these are
       automatically detected and will continue to function, but will generate a debug log message  and  can  be
       removed.

       The  long  lived token and secret metadata cache file can be cleared with the new vault.clear_token_cache
       execution function.

   Salt 3001.1 Release Notes
       Version 3001.1 is a bugfix release for 3001.

   Changed
       • Change the enable_fqdns_grains setting to default to False on  Windows  to  address  some  issues  with
         slowness. (#56296, #57529)

       • Handle the UCRT libraries the same way they are handled in the Python 3 installer (#57594)

       • Changes the 'SSDs' grain name to 'ssds' as all grains needs to be resolved in lowered case. (#57612)

   Fixed
       • When  running  scheduled jobs from a proxy minion with multiprocessing turned off (default) a recursive
         error occurs as __pub_fun_args is repeated over and over again  in  the  kwargs  element  in  the  data
         dictionary.  Now we make a copy of data['kwargs'] instead of using a reference. (#57941)

       • The  x509.certificate_managed  state  no  longer  triggers  a  change  because of sorting issues if the
         certificate being evaluated was previously generated under Python 2. (#56556)

       • Added  support  to  lo  ip  alias  in  network.managed  state  by  checking  if  lo  inet   data   from
         network.interfaces  contains  label  with  the  name of managed interface.  Return status True if match
         found. (#56901)

       • Redact passwords in the return when setting credentials using win_iis.container_setting (#57285)

       • Fixes issue with cmd.powershell. Some powershell commands do not return anything in stdout. This causes
         the JSON parser to fail because an empty string is not valid JSON. This changes an empty string  to  {}
         which is valid JSON and will not cause the JSON loader to stacktrace. (#57493)

       • Improves  performance.  Profiling  test.ping on Windows shows that 13 of 17 seconds are wasted when the
         esxi grain loads vsphere before noting that the OS is not a esxi host. (#57529)

       • Fixed permissions issue with certain pip/virtualenv states/modules when configured for  non-root  user.
         (#57550)

       • Fixes issue with lgpo.get when there are unicode characters in the hostname (#57591)

       • Fixes  issue  with  virtual  block  devices, like loopbacks and LVMs, wrongly populating the "disks" or
         "ssds" grains. (#57612)

       • Due to some optimization the virtual grain was never updated on illumos. Move the fallback  in  prtdiag
         output parsing outside the loop that now gets skipped due to the command exiting non-zero. (#57714)

       • Grains  module  delkey  and  delval  methods  now support the force option. This is needed for deleting
         grains with complex (nested) values. (#57718)

       • Moving import salt.modules.vsphere into __virtual__ so we  have  access  to  test  proxytype  in  opts,
         previously  this was causing a traceback when run on proxy minion as __opts__ does not exist outside of
         any functions. Introducing a new utils function, is_proxytype, to check that  the  device  is  a  proxy
         minion and also that the proxy type matches. (#57743)

   Salt 3001.2 Release Notes
       Version 3001.2 is a CVE fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Prevent shell injections in netapi ssh client (cve-2020-16846)

       • Prevent creating world readable private keys with the tls execution module. (cve-2020-17490)

   Salt 3001.3 Release Notes
       Version 3001.3 is a CVE fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Properly  validate  eauth credentials and tokens along with their ACLs.  Prior to this change eauth was
         not properly validated when calling Salt ssh via the salt-api. Any value for 'eauth' or  'token'  would
         allow a user to bypass authentication and make calls to Salt ssh. (CVE-2020-25592)

   Salt 3001.4 Release Notes
       Version 3001.4 is a bugfix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Fixes salt-ssh authentication when using tty (#58922)

   Fixed
       • CVE-2020-28243 - Fix local privilege escalation in the restartcheck module.

       • CVE-2020-28972  -  Ensure  authentication  to  vcenter,  vsphere, and esxi server validates the SSL/TLS
         certificate by default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2020-35662 - Ensure the asam runner, qingcloud, splunk returner, panos proxy,  cimc  proxy,  zenoss
         module,  esxi  module, vsphere module, glassfish module, bigip module, and keystone module validate SSL
         by default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2021-3144 - Fix eauth tokens can be used once after expiration

       • CVE-2021-25281 - Fix salt-api so it honors eauth credentials for the wheel_async client.

       • CVE-2021-25282 - Fix the salt.wheel.pillar_roots.write method so it  is  not  vulnerable  to  directory
         traversal.

       • CVE-2021-25283 - Fix the jinja render to protect against server side template injection attacks.

       • CVE-2021-25284 - Fix cmdmod so it will not log credentials to log levels info and error.

   Fixed
       • Fix runners that broke when patching for CVE-2021-25281

       • Fix issue with runners in SSE

   Known Issue
       When using the Salt-API with the SSH client some of the SSH options are not working currently and will be
       fixed in an upcoming bug fix release.  We are currently testing and fixing which options still need to be
       fixed,  but  have  confirmed  the following ones do not work in this release: extra-filerefs, pre-flight.
       This does not impact normal Salt-SSH usage on the cli.

   Salt 3001.7 Release Notes
       Version 3001.7 is a bug fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Allow "extra_filerefs" as sanitized kwargs for SSH client.  Fix regression on  "cmd.run"  when  passing
         tuples as cmd. (#59664)

       • Allow all ssh kwargs as sanitized kwargs for SSH client. (#59748)

       • Fix   argument   injection   bug   in  restartcheck.restartcheck.  This  change  hardens  the  fix  for
         CVE-2020-28243.

   Salt 3001.8 (2021-08-20)
       Version 3001.8 is a CVE security fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Verify the owner of an existing config before trusting it  during  install.  If  the  owner  cannot  be
         verified, back it up and use defaults. (CVE-2021-22004)

   Security
       • Fix  the  CVE-2021-31607  vulnerability  Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place, bandit, to
         address similar issues througout the code base, and prevent them. (CVE-2021-31607)

       • Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

   Salt 3000 Release Notes - Codename Neon
   Security Advisory
       For historical reasons, Salt requires PyCrypto as a "lowest common  denominator".  However,  PyCrypto  is
       unmaintained  and  best  practice  is  to  manually  upgrade  to  use  a  more maintained library such as
       PyCryptodome. See Issue #52674 and Issue #54115 for more info

   New Versioning
       The neon release has removed the date versioning. Going forward we will  use  a  non-date  based  version
       schema  beginning  at  3000.  The  version will be MAJOR.PATCH. For a planned release containing features
       and/or bug fixes the MAJOR version will be incremented.  Please  review  the  approved  SEP  for  further
       details.

       The  new  versioning  scheme  is  PEP  440 compliant, but distutils.StrictVersion will result in an error
       invalid version number. If using StrictVersion to compare Salt's versions, please use LooseVersion. There
       is also the packaging library you can use to compare versions. Another  alternative  is  using  the  salt
       version module

   Python 3.8 Not Supported
       Please note that running Salt with Python 3.8 is currently not supported.  It is recommended to not use a
       version higher than 3.7.

   Vendored Tornado Code Base
       The  Tornado  code  base  has  been  included  as salt.ext.tornado. This was done to provide a consistent
       version of Tornado across all operating systems while we continue to  work  on  upgrading  Tornado  to  a
       recent  version.  New  code  that  uses Tornado should import the module from salt.ext.tornado instead of
       importing the system version of Tornado.

   Msgpack 1.0.0rc1 Incompatibility
       Salt is currently incompatible with msgpack 1.0.0rc1. We recommend using versions < 1.0.0 . This  impacts
       the  Salt  Master's  ability to run commands against minions. Please see Issue 56007 for more details and
       updates.

   Pip Installing Salt On Windows
       This release will not install correctly on windows when  using  pip  to  install  salt.   This  issue  is
       addressed in PR 56099.  The workaround for this issue is:

          pip install "pywin32==224" "WMI==1.4.9"

       Those using the Salt Windows Installer are not affected by this issue.

   Saltcheck Updates
       Available since 2018.3, the saltcheck module has been enhanced to:

       • Support saltenv environments

       • Associate tests with states by naming convention

       • Adds report_highstate_tests function

       • Adds empty and notempty assertions

       • Adds skip keyword

       • Adds print_result keyword

       • Adds assertion_section keyword

       • Use saltcheck.state_apply to run state.apply for test setup or teardown

       • Changes output to display test time

       • Works with salt-ssh

       Saltcheck  provides unittest like functionality requiring only the knowledge of salt module execution and
       yaml. Saltcheck uses salt modules to return data, then runs an assertion against that return. This allows
       for testing with all the features included in salt modules.

       In order to run state and highstate saltcheck tests, a sub-folder in the state directory must be  created
       and named saltcheck-tests. Tests for a state should be created in files ending in *.tst and placed in the
       saltcheck-tests folder. tst files are run through the salt rendering system, enabling tests to be written
       in  yaml  (or  renderer of choice), and include jinja, as well as the usual grain and pillar information.
       Like states, multiple tests can be specified in a tst file. Multiple tst files  can  be  created  in  the
       saltcheck-tests  folder,  and should be named the same as the associated state. The id of a test works in
       the same manner as in salt state files and should be unique and descriptive.

   Usage
       Example file system layout:

          /srv/salt/apache/
              init.sls
              config.sls
              saltcheck-tests/
                  init.tst
                  config.tst
                  deployment_validation.tst

       Tests can be run for each state by name, for all apache/saltcheck/*.tst files, or for all states assigned
       to the minion in top.sls. Tests may also be created with no associated state. These  tests  will  be  run
       through    the   use   of   saltcheck.run_state_tests,   but   will   not   be   automatically   run   by
       saltcheck.run_highstate_tests.

          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache,apache.config
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache check_all=True
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_highstate_tests
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache.deployment_validation

   Example Tests
          {# will run the common salt state before further testing #}
          setup_test_environment:
            module_and_function: saltcheck.state_apply
            args:
              - common

          jinja_test_{{ package }}_latest:
            module_and_function: pkg.upgrade_available
            args:

              - apache2
            assertion: assertFalse
            skip: True

   Output Format Changes
       Saltcheck output has been enhanced to display the time taken per test. This results in a  change  to  the
       output format.

   Unless and onlyif Enhancements
       The  unless  and onlyif requisites can now be operated with salt modules.  The dictionary must contain an
       argument fun which is the module that is being run, and everything else must be passed in under the  args
       key or will be passed as individual kwargs to the module function.

       NOTE:
          Certain  states  have  an unless/onlyif implementation that predates this feature, and may not work as
          expected:

          • states.git

          • states.cmd

          • states.macpackage

          • states.file

          • states.docker_container

       Examples:

          check external ip address:
            http.query:
              - name: https://icanhazip.com
              - status: 200
              - onlyif:
                - fun: file.file_exists
                  path: /usr/local/bin/whatever

       is equivalent to

          check another ip address:
            http.query:
              - name: https://icanhazip.com
              - status: 200
              - onlyif:
                - test -f /tmp/fnord.txt

       Another example:

          set mysql root password:
            debconf.set:
              - name: mysql-server-5.7
              - data:
                  'mysql-server/root_password': {'type': 'password', 'value': {{pillar['mysql.pass']}} }
              - unless:
                - fun: pkg.version
                  args:
                    - mysql-server-5.7

   Keystore State and Module
       A new state and execution module for  manaing  Java  Keystore  files  is  now  included.  It  allows  for
       adding/removing/listing as well as managing keystore files.

          # salt-call keystore.list /path/to/keystore.jks changeit
          local:

   XML Module
       A  new  state and execution module for editing XML files is now included. Currently it allows for editing
       values from an xpath query, or editing XML IDs.

          # salt-call xml.set_attribute /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='3']" editedby "Jane Doe"
          local:

   LGPO Execution Module
       Multiple fixes were made  to  the  win_lgpo  to  expand  support  for  additional  policies  and  improve
       performance.  Issues  with  encoding and unsupported characters (smart-quotes, em-dash, etc) found in the
       ADML files as well as whitespace in some policies have been addressed.

       Speed enhancements include:

       • Caching the compiled xml from ADMX/ADML files in __context__

       • Lowercasing all keys before compiling XML to remove an expensive XPath lookup

       Additional functionality:

       • Adds the lgpo.get_policy function that allows you to get the current settings for a single policy.

       • Changes some policy names that were overly long

   LGPO State Module
       Multiple changes were made to the win_lgpo state to improve performance.

       It now uses the lgpo.get_policy function instead of the lgpo.get to avoid reloading all settings  on  the
       machine at the beginning and end of each state run.

       Supports the new shorter policy names but also attempts to resolve the older, longer policy names.

   Win_network Salt Util
       Now  uses  .NET libraries to obtain Interface information on Windows systems that support it. Unsupported
       systems fall back to the more expensive WMI calls. This is important as this data is gathered for  grains
       and occurs each time a process is forked.

   Jinja enhancements
   Troubleshooting Jinja map files
       A new execution module for map.jinja troubleshooting has been added.

       Assuming the map is loaded in your formula SLS as follows:

          {% from "myformula/map.jinja" import myformula with context %}

       The following command can be used to load the map and check the results:

          salt myminion jinja.load_map myformula/map.jinja myformula

       The module can be also used to test json and yaml maps:

          salt myminion jinja.import_yaml myformula/defaults.yaml

          salt myminion jinja.import_json myformula/defaults.json

   json_query filter
       A  port  of  Ansible  json_query  Jinja filter has been added. It allows making queries against JSON data
       using JMESPath language. Could be used to filter pillar data, yaml maps, and also useful with http_query.

       Depends on the jmespath Python module.

   Slot Syntax Updates
       The slot syntax has been updated to support parsing dictionary responses and to append text.

          demo dict parsing and append:
            test.configurable_test_state:
              - name: slot example
              - changes: False
              - comment: __slot__:salt:test.arg(shell="/bin/bash").kwargs.shell ~ /appended

          local:
            ----------
                  ID: demo dict parsing and append
            Function: test.configurable_test_state
                Name: slot example
              Result: True
             Comment: /bin/bash/appended
             Started: 09:59:58.623575
            Duration: 1.229 ms
             Changes:

       Also, slot parsing is now supported inside of nested state data structures (dicts,  lists,  unless/onlyif
       args):

          demo slot parsing for nested elements:
            file.managed:
              - name: /tmp/slot.txt
              - source: salt://slot.j2
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  # Slot inside of the nested context dictionary
                  variable: __slot__:salt:test.echo(a_value)
              - unless:
                - fun: file.search
                  args:
                    # Slot as unless argument
                    - __slot__:salt:test.echo(/tmp/slot.txt)
                    - "DO NOT OVERRIDE"
                  ignore_if_missing: True

   State Changes
       • The  file.symlink  state was fixed to remove existing file system entries other than files, directories
         and symbolic links properly.

       • The onchanges and prereq requisites now behave properly in test mode, due to removing pchanges.

       • Added new ssh_auth.manage state to ensure only the specified ssh keys are  present  for  the  specified
         user.

       • Added new saltutil state to use instead of module.run to more easily handle change.

   Module Changes
       • Added new boto_ssm module to set and query secrets in AWS SSM parameters.

       • Added new flatpak module to work with flatpak packages.

       • The  file.remove  module  was  fixed  to  remove  file system entries other than files, directories and
         symbolic links properly.

       • The debian_ip module used by the network.managed state has been  heavily  refactored.  The  order  that
         options appear in inet/inet6 blocks may produce cosmetic changes. Many options without an 'ipvX' prefix
         will  now  be  shared  between inet and inet6 blocks. The options enable_ipv4 and enabled_ipv6 will now
         fully remove relevant inet/inet6 blocks. Overriding options by prefixing them with 'ipvX' will now work
         with most options (i.e.  dns can be overridden  by  ipv4dns  or  ipv6dns).  The  proto  option  is  now
         required.

   Enhancements to Engines
       Multiple copies of a particular Salt engine can be configured by including the engine_module parameter in
       the engine configuration.

          engines:
            - production_logstash:
                host: production_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash
            - develop_logstash:
                host: develop_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash

       • A new fluent engine has been added to export Salt events to fluentd.

            engines:
              - fluent
                  host: localhost
                  port: 24224

            <source>
              @type forward
              port 24224
            </source>
            <match saltstack.**>
              @type file
              path /var/log/td-agent/saltstack
            </match>

   Enhancements to Beacons
       Multiple copies of a particular Salt beacon can be configured by including the beacon_module parameter in
       the beacon configuration.

              beacons:
                watch_importand_file:
                  - files:
                      /etc/important_file: {}
                  - beacon_module: inotify
                watch_another_file:
                  - files:
                      /etc/another_file: {}
                  - beacon_module: inotify

   Enhancements to chroot
       • New  functions  added  to  chroot apply, sls, and highstate that allow executing states in sls files or
         running apply/highstate inside of a chroot.

   Minion-side ACL
       Salt has had master-side ACL for the salt mine for some time, where the  master  configuration  contained
       mine_get  that  specified which minions could request which functions. However, now you can specify which
       minions can access a function in the salt mine function definition itself (or  when  calling  mine.send).
       This  targeting works the same as the generic minion targeting as specified here. The parameters used are
       allow_tgt and allow_tgt_type.  See also the documentation of the Salt Mine. Please note that if you  want
       to use this new feature both your minion and masters will need to be on atleast version 3000.

   Salt 3000.2 Release Notes
       Version 3000.2 is a CVE-fix release for 3000.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2020-11651

       An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before  2019.2.4  and  3000  before  3000.2.   The  salt-master
       process  ClearFuncs  class  does  not properly validate method calls. This allows a remote user to access
       some methods without authentication. These methods can be used to retrieve  user  tokens  from  the  salt
       master and/or run arbitrary commands on salt minions.

       CVE-2020-11652

       An  issue  was  discovered  in  SaltStack  Salt  before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2.  The salt-master
       process ClearFuncs class allows access to some methods that  improperly  sanitize  paths.  These  methods
       allow arbitrary directory access to authenticated users.

   Known Issue
       Part  of the fix for CVE-2020-11651 added better validation of the methods allowed to be called by remote
       clients.  Both AESFuncs and ClearFuncs now have an explicit list of methods that can be called.  The name
       of one of these whitlisted methods  on  AESFuncs  had  a  typo.   The  _minion_runner  method  should  be
       minion_runner  (without  the  underscore  prefix).   This typo breaks the publish module’s runner method.
       Calling runners, for example:

          salt minion publish.runner manage.down

       Will not work, and you will receive and empty reply from the salt master.

       This will be addressed in the 3001 release of Salt set for mid-June 2020.

       Version 3000.7 is a CVE fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • CVE-2020-28243 - Fix local privilege escalation in the restartcheck module.

       • CVE-2020-28972  -  Ensure  authentication  to  vcenter,  vsphere, and esxi server validates the SSL/TLS
         certificate by default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2020-35662 - Ensure the asam runner, qingcloud, splunk returner, panos proxy,  cimc  proxy,  zenoss
         module,  esxi  module, vsphere module, glassfish module, bigip module, and keystone module validate SSL
         by default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2021-3148 - Fix a command injection in the Salt-API when using the Salt-SSH client.

       • CVE-2021-3144 - Fix eauth tokens can be used once after expiration

       • CVE-2021-25281 - Fix salt-api so it honors eauth credentials for the wheel_async client.

       • CVE-2021-25282 - Fix the salt.wheel.pillar_roots.write method so it  is  not  vulnerable  to  directory
         traversal.

       • CVE-2021-25283 - Fix the jinja render to protect against server side template injection attacks.

       • CVE-2021-25284 - Fix cmdmod so it will not log credentials to log levels info and error.

       • CVE-2021-3197 - Fix ssh client to remove ProxyCommand from arguments provided by cli and netapi.

   Salt 3000.8 Release Notes
       Version 3000.8 is a bug fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • Fix runners that broke when patching for CVE-2021-25281

       • Fix issue with runners in SSE

   Known Issue
       When using the Salt-API with the SSH client some of the SSH options are not working currently and will be
       fixed in an upcoming bug fix release.  We are currently testing and fixing which options still need to be
       fixed,  but  have  confirmed  the following ones do not work in this release: extra-filerefs, pre-flight.
       This does not impact normal Salt-SSH usage on the cli.

   Salt 3000.9 Release Notes
       Version 3000.9 is a bug fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • Allow "extra_filerefs" as sanitized kwargs for SSH client.  Fix regression on  "cmd.run"  when  passing
         tuples as cmd. (#59664)

       • Allow all ssh kwargs as sanitized kwargs for SSH client. (#59748)

       • Fix   argument   injection   bug   in  restartcheck.restartcheck.  This  change  hardens  the  fix  for
         CVE-2020-28243.

   Salt 2019.2.0 Release Notes - Codename Fluorine
   Python 2.7 Deprecation
       In light of Python 2.7 reaching its End of Life (EOL) on Jan 1st 2020, Python 2 will be  deprecated  from
       SaltStack  no  earlier  than  the 3001 release, that is either the 3001 release or a later release.  This
       decision is pending further community discussion.

   Known Issues
       The following are known issues for the 2019.2.0 release and will be fixed for 2019.2.1:

       • #51699

   Non-Backward-Compatible Change to YAML Renderer
       In earlier releases, this was considered valid usage in Python 2,  assuming  that  data  was  a  list  or
       dictionary containing keys/values which are unicode types:

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data }}

       One  common  use  case  for  this  is when using one of Salt's custom Jinja filters which return lists or
       dictionaries, such as the ipv4 filter.

       In Python 2, Jinja will render the unicode string types within the list/dictionary with  the  "u"  prefix
       (e.g. {u'foo': u'bar'}). While not valid YAML, earlier releases would successfully load these values.

       As  of  this release, the above SLS would result in an error message. To allow for a data structure to be
       dumped directly into your SLS file, use the tojson Jinja filter:

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data|tojson }}

       Another example where the new filter needs to be used is the following state example:

          grafana_packages:
            pkg.installed:
            - names: {{ server.pkgs }}

       This will fail when pkgs is a list or dictionary. You will need to update the state:

          grafana_packages:
            pkg.installed:
            - names: {{ server.pkgs|tojson }}

       This test case has also been tested with the yaml and json filters successfully.

       NOTE:
          This filter was added in Jinja 2.9. However, fear not! The 2018.3.3  release  added  a  tojson  filter
          which will be used if this filter is not already present, making it available on platforms like RHEL 7
          and Ubuntu 14.04 which provide older versions of Jinja.

       IMPORTANT:
          The  json_encode_dict  and  json_encode_list  filters  do not actually dump the results to JSON. Since
          tojson accomplishes what those filters were designed to do,  they  are  now  deprecated  and  will  be
          removed  in the 3000 release. The tojson filter should be used in all cases where json_encode_dict and
          json_encode_list would have been used.

   Ansible Playbook State and Execution Modules
       Along with the including the ansible modules in the Oxygen release, running playbooks has been  added  in
       2019.2.0  with the playbooks function.  This also includes an ansible playbooks state module which can be
       used on a targeted host to run ansible playbooks, or used in an orchestration state runner.

          install nginx:
            ansible.playbooks:
              - name: install.yml
              - git_repo: git://github.com/gtmanfred/playbook.git
              - git_kwargs:
                  rev: master

       The playbooks modules also includes the ability to specify a git repo to clone and  use,  or  a  specific
       directory can to used when running the playbook.

   Network Automation
       Beginning  with  this  release,  Salt  provides  much  broader support for a variety of network operating
       systems, and features for configuration manipulation or operational command execution.

   NetBox
       Added in the previous release, 2018.3.0, the capabilities  of  the  netbox  Execution  Module  have  been
       extended, with a much longer list of available features:

       • netbox.create_circuitnetbox.create_circuit_providernetbox.create_circuit_terminationnetbox.create_circuit_typenetbox.create_devicenetbox.create_device_rolenetbox.create_device_typenetbox.create_interfacenetbox.create_interface_connectionnetbox.create_inventory_itemnetbox.create_ipaddressnetbox.create_manufacturernetbox.create_platformnetbox.create_sitenetbox.delete_interfacenetbox.delete_inventory_itemnetbox.delete_ipaddressnetbox.get_circuit_providernetbox.get_interfacesnetbox.get_ipaddressesnetbox.make_interface_childnetbox.make_interface_lagnetbox.openconfig_interfacesnetbox.openconfig_lacpnetbox.update_devicenetbox.update_interface

       Besides  this Execution Module, Salt users can load data directly from NetBox into the device Pillar, via
       the netbox External Pillar module.

   Netmiko
       Netmiko, the multi-vendor library to simplify  Paramiko  SSH  connections  to  network  devices,  is  now
       officially  integrated  into  Salt.  The  network  community  can  use it via the netmiko Proxy Module or
       directly from any Salt Minions, passing the connection  credentials  -  see  the  documentation  for  the
       netmiko Execution Module.

   Arista
       Arista  switches  can  now be managed running under the pyeapi Proxy Module, and execute RPC requests via
       the pyeapi Execution Module.

   Cisco Nexus
       While support for SSH-based operations has been added in the release codename Carbon (2016.11),  the  new
       nxos_api Proxy Module and nxos_api allow management of Cisco Nexus switches via the NX-API.

       It  is  important  to  note that these modules don't have third party dependencies, therefore they can be
       used straight away from any Salt Minion. This also means that the user may be able to install the regular
       Salt Minion on the Nexus switch directly and manage the network devices like a regular server.

   General-purpose Modules
       The new ciscoconfparse Execution Module can  be used for basic configuration parsing, audit or validation
       for a variety of  network platforms having Cisco IOS style configuration (one space indentation), as well
       as brace-delimited configuration style.

       The iosconfig can be used for various configuration manipulation for Cisco IOS style configuration,  such
       as: configuration cleanup, tree representation of the config, etc.

   NAPALM
   Commit At and Commit Confirmed
       Beginning with this release, NAPALM users are able to execute scheduled commits (broadly known as "commit
       at")  and "commit confirmed" (revert the configuration change unless the user confirms by running another
       command). These features are available via the commit_in, commit_at, revert_in,  or  revert_at  arguments
       for the net.load_config and net.load_template execution functions, or netconfig.managed.

       The  counterpart  execution  functions  net.confirm_commit,  or  net.cancel_commit,  as well as the State
       functions netconfig.commit_cancelled, or netconfig.commit_confirmed can be used to confirm  or  cancel  a
       commit.

       Please note that the commit confirmed and commit cancelled functionalities are available for any platform
       whether the network devices supports the features natively or not. However, be cautious and make sure you
       read and understand the caveats before using them in production.

   Multiple Templates Rendered Simultaneously
       The  template_name  argument  of the net.load_template Execution and netconfig.managed State function now
       supports a list of templates. This is particularly useful when a very large Jinja template is split  into
       multiple smaller and easier to read templates that can eventually be reused in other States. For example,
       the  following syntax is not correct to manage the configuration of NTP and BGP simultaneously, using two
       different templates and changing the device configuration through one single commit:

          manage_bgp_and_ntp:
            netconfig.managed:
              - template_name:
                  - salt://templates/bgp.jinja
                  - salt://templates/ntp.jinja
              - context:
                  bpg: {{ pillar.bgp }}
                  ntp: {{ pillar.ntp }}

   Connection Re-establishment on Demand
       Beginning with this release, any NAPALM command  executed  when  running  under  a  NAPALM  Proxy  Minion
       supports the force_reconnect magic argument.

       Proxy  Minions  generally establish a connection with the remote network device at the time of the Minion
       startup and that connection is going to be used forever.

       If one would need to execute a command on the device but is connecting using different parameters (due to
       various causes, e.g., unable to authenticate the user specified  in  the  Pillar  as  the  authentication
       system  -  say  TACACS+  is  not  available,  or  the  DNS  resolver  is currently down and would like to
       temporarily use the IP address instead, etc.), it implies updating the Pillar  data  and  restarting  the
       Proxy  Minion  process  restart.   In  particular  cases like that, you can pass the force_reconnect=True
       keyword argument, together with the alternative connection details, to enforce the command to be executed
       over a separate connection.

       For example, if the usual command is salt '*' net.arp, you can use  the  following  to  connect  using  a
       different username instead:

          salt '*' net.arp username=my-alt-usr force_reconnect=True

       The  same  goes  with  any  of the other configuration arguments required for the NAPALM connection - see
       NAPALM proxy documentation.

   Configuration Replace Features
       To replace various configuration chunks, you can use the new net.replace_pattern execution  function,  or
       the  netconfig.replace_pattern  State function. For example, if you want to update your configuration and
       rename a BGP policy referenced in many places, you can do so by running:

          salt '*' net.replace_pattern OLD-POLICY-CONFIG new-policy-config

       Similarly, you can also replace entire configuration blocks using the net.blockreplace function.

   Configuration Save Features
       The net.save_config function can be used to save the configuration of the managed device into a file. For
       the State subsystem, the netconfig.saved function has been  added  which  provides  a  complete  list  of
       facilities when managing the target file where the configuration of the network device can be saved.

       For example, backup the running configuration of each device under its own directory tree:

          /var/backups/{{ opts.id }}/running.cfg:
            netconfig.saved:
              - source: running
              - makedirs: true

       All  the new network automation modules mentioned above are directly exposed to the NAPALM users, without
       requiring any architectural changes, just eventually install some requirements:

   Junos
       The features from the existing junos Execution Module are available via the following functions:

       • napalm.junos_cli: Execute a CLI command and return the output as text or Python dictionary.

       • napalm.junos_rpc: Execute an RPC request on the remote Junos device, and return the result as a  Python
         dictionary, easy to digest and manipulate.

       • napalm.junos_install_os: Install the given image on the device.

       • napalm.junos_facts: The complete list of Junos facts collected by the junos-eznc underlying library.

       NOTE:
          To be able to use these features, you muse ensure that you meet the requirements for the junos module.
          As junos-eznc is already a dependency of NAPALM, you will only have to install jxmlease.

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.junos_cli 'show arp' format=xml
          salt '*' napalm.junos_rpc get-interface-information

   Netmiko
       The features from the newly added netmiko Execution Module are available as:

       • napalm.netmiko_commands:  Execute one or more commands to be execute on the remote device, via Netmiko,
         and return the output as a text.

       • napalm.netmiko_config: Load a list of configuration command on the  remote  device,  via  Netmiko.  The
         commands  can  equally  be  loaded  from  a  local  or  remote path, and passed through Salt's template
         rendering pipeline (by default using Jinja as the template rendering engine).

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.netmiko_commands 'show version' 'show interfaces'
          salt '*' napalm.netmiko_config config_file=https://bit.ly/2sgljCB

   Arista pyeapi
       For various operations and various extension modules, the following features  have  been  added  to  gate
       functionality from the pyeapi module:

       • napalm.pyeapi_run_commands: Execute a list of commands on the Arista switch, via the pyeapi library.

       • napalm.pyeapi_config:  Configure  the  Arista switch with the specified commands, via the pyeapi Python
         library. Similarly to napalm.netmiko_config, you can use both local and remote files, with  or  without
         templating.

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.pyeapi_run_commands 'show version' 'show interfaces'
          salt '*' napalm.pyeapi_config config_file=salt://path/to/template.jinja

   Cisco NX-API
       In the exact same way as above, the user has absolute control by using the following primitives to manage
       Cisco Nexus switches via the NX-API:

       • napalm.nxos_api_show:  Execute  one or more show (non-configuration) commands, and return the output as
         plain text or Python dictionary.

       • napalm.nxos_api_rpc: Execute arbitrary RPC requests via the Nexus API.

       • napalm.nxos_api_config: Configures the Nexus switch with the specified commands, via  the  NX-API.  The
         commands  can be loaded from the command line, or a local or remote file, eventually rendered using the
         templating engine of choice (default: jinja).

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.nxos_api_show 'show bgp sessions' 'show processes' raw_text=False

   Ciscoconfparse
       The following list of function may be handy when manipulating Cisco IOS or Junos style configurations:

       • napalm.config_filter_lines:  Return  a  list  of  detailed  matches,  for  the   configuration   blocks
         (parent-child relationship) whose parent and children respect the regular expressions provided.

       • napalm.config_find_lines: Return the configuration lines that match the regular expression provided.

       • napalm.config_lines_w_child:  Return  the  configuration  lines that match a regular expression, having
         child lines matching the child regular expression.

       • napalm.config_lines_wo_child: Return the configuration lines that  match  a  regular  expression,  that
         don't have child lines matching the child regular expression.

       NOTE:
          These functions require the ciscoconfparse Python library to be installed.

       Usage example (find interfaces that are administratively shut down):

          salt '*' napalm.config_lines_w_child 'interface' 'shutdown'

   IOSConfig
       For Cisco IOS style configuration, the following features have been added to the napalm Execution Module:

       • napalm.config_tree:  Transform Cisco IOS style configuration to structured Python dictionary, using the
         configuration of the interrogated network device.

       • napalm.config_merge_tree: Return the merge tree of the configuration of the managed network device with
         a different configuration to be merged with (without actually loading any changes on the device).

       • napalm.config_merge_text: Return the merge result (as text) of the configuration of the managed network
         device with a different configuration to be merged with.

       • napalm.config_merge_diff: Return the merge diff after merging the configuration of the managed  network
         device with a different configuration (without actually loading any changes on the device).

   SCP
       Reusing  the already available connection credentials provided for NAPALM, the following features are now
       available:

       • napalm.scp_put: Transfer files and directories to remote network device.

       • napalm.scp_get: Transfer files and directories from remote network  device  to  the  localhost  of  the
         Minion.

   PeeringDB
       The  peeringdb  Execution Module is useful to gather information about other networks you can potentially
       peer with, and automatically establish BGP sessions, e.g., given just a specific AS number, the  rest  of
       the  data  (i.e.,  IP addresses, locations where the remote network is available, etc.) is retrieved from
       PeeringDB, and the session configuration is automated with minimal to no effort (typing the IP  addresses
       manually can be both tedious and error prone).

   New Docker Proxy Minion
       Docker  containers  can  now be treated as actual minions without installing salt in the container, using
       the new docker proxy minion.

       This proxy minion uses the docker executor to pass commands to the docker  container  using  docker.call.
       Any state module calls are passed through the corresponding function from the docker module.

          proxy:
            proxytype: docker
            name: keen_proskuriakova

   Terraform Salt-SSH Roster
       You  can  now  dynamically  generate  a  Salt-SSH  roster  from  the  terraform  resources  defined  with
       terraform-provider-salt.

       This allows you to combine both terraform and Salt-SSH to provision and configure  your  hosts.  See  the
       terraform roster for an example on how to setup and use.

   Grains Dictionary Passed into Custom Grains
       Starting  in  this  release,  if  a  custom  grains  function accepts a variable named grains, the Grains
       dictionary of the already compiled grains will be passed in.  Because of the non-deterministic order that
       grains are rendered in, the only grains that can be relied upon to be passed in are core.py grains, since
       those are compiled first.

   More Precise virtual Grain
       This release improves the accuracy of the virtual grain when running  Salt  in  a  nested  virtualization
       environment (e.g. systemd-nspawn container inside a VM) and having virt-what installed.

       Until  now, the virtual grain was determined by matching against all output lines of virt-what instead of
       individual items which could  lead  to  not  quite  precise  results  (e.g.  reporting  HyperV  inside  a
       systemd-nspawn container running within a Hyper-V-based VM.

   Configurable Module Environment
       Salt  modules  (states,  execution  modules,  returners,  etc.) now can have custom environment variables
       applied when running shell commands. This can be configured by setting a system-environment key either in
       Grains or Pillar.  The syntax is as follows:

          system-environment:
            <type>
              <module>:
                # Namespace for all functions in the module
                _:
                  <key>: <value>

                # Namespace only for particular function in the module
                <function>:
                  <key>: <value>

       • <type> would be the type of module (i.e. states, modules, etc.).

       • <module> would be the module's name.

         NOTE:
            The module name can be either the virtual name (e.g. pkg), or the physical name (e.g. yumpkg).

       • <function> would be the function name within  that  module.  To  apply  environment  variables  to  all
         functions  in  a given module, use an underscore (i.e. _) as the function name. For example, to set the
         same environment variable for all package management functions, the following could be used:

            system-environment:
              modules:
                pkg:
                  _:
                    SOMETHING: for_all

         To set an environment variable in pkg.install only:

            system-environment:
              modules:
                pkg:
                  install:
                    LC_ALL: en_GB.UTF-8

         To set the same variable but only for SUSE minions (which use zypper for package management):

            system-environment:
              modules:
                zypper:
                  install:
                    LC_ALL: en_GB.UTF-8

       NOTE:
          This is not supported throughout Salt; the module must explicitly support this  feature  (though  this
          may  change  in the future). As of this release, the only modules which support this are the following
          pkg virtual modules:

          • aptpkgyumpkgzypper

   Virtual Package Support Dropped for APT
       In APT, some packages have an associated list of packages which they provide.   This  allows  one  to  do
       things  like  run  apt-get  install  foo  when the real package name is foo1.0, and get the right package
       installed.

       Salt has traditionally designated as "virtual packages" those which are provided by an installed package,
       but for which there is no real package by that name installed. Given the above example, if  one  were  to
       run  a  pkg.installed  state  for a package named foo, then pkg.list_pkgs would show a package version of
       simply 1 for package foo, denoting that it is a virtual package.

       However, while this makes certain aspects of package management convenient, there are  issues  with  this
       approach  that  make  relying  on "virtual packages" problematic. For instance, Ubuntu has four different
       mutually-conflicting packages for nginx:

       • nginx-corenginx-fullnginx-lightnginx-extras

       All four of these provide nginx. Yet there is an nginx package as well, which has no actual  content  and
       merely  has  dependencies  on  any  one  of the above four packages. If one used nginx in a pkg.installed
       state, and none of the above four packages were installed, then the nginx metapackage would be installed,
       which would pull in nginx-core_.  Later, if nginx were used in a pkg.removed state, the nginx metapackage
       would be removed, leaving nginx-core installed. The result would  be  that,  since  nginx-core_  provides
       nginx_,  Salt  would now see nginx as an installed virtual package, and the pkg.removed state would fail.
       Moreover, nginx would not actually have been removed, since nginx-core would remain installed.

       Starting with this release, Salt will no longer support using "virtual package" names in pkg states,  and
       package  names  will  need to be specified using the proper package name. The pkg.list_repo_pkgs function
       can be used to find matching package names in the repositories, given a package name (or glob):

          # salt myminion pkg.list_repo_pkgs 'nginx*'
          myminion:

   Minion Startup Events
       When  a  minion  starts  up  it  sends  a  notification on the event bus with a tag that looks like this:
       salt/minion/<minion_id>/start. For historical reasons the minion also sends a similar event with an event
       tag like this: minion_start. This duplication can cause a lot of clutter on the event bus when there  are
       many  minions.  Set  enable_legacy_startup_events:  False  in  the  minion  config  to  ensure  only  the
       salt/minion/<minion_id>/start events are sent.

       The new enable_legacy_startup_events minion config option defaults to True, but will be set to default to
       False beginning with the 3001 release of Salt.

       The Salt  Syndic  currently  sends  an  old  style  syndic_start  event  as  well.  The  syndic  respects
       enable_legacy_startup_events as well.

   Failhard changes
       It  is  now  possible  to override a global failhard setting with a state-level failhard setting. This is
       most useful in case where global failhard is set to True and you want the execution not  to  stop  for  a
       specific  state  that could fail, by setting the state level failhard to False.  This also allows for the
       use of onfail*-requisites, which would previously be ignored when a global  failhard  was  set  to  True.
       This  is  a  deviation  from  previous  behavior, where the global failhard setting always resulted in an
       immediate stop whenever any state failed (regardless of whether the failing state had a failhard  setting
       of its own, or whether any onfail*-requisites were used).

   Pass Through Options to file.serialize State
       This  allows  for  more  granular  control  over  the  way  in  which  the dataset is serialized. See the
       documentation for the new serializer_opts and deserializer_opts options in the file.serialize  state  for
       more information.

   file.patch State Rewritten
       The file.patch state has been rewritten with several new features:

       • Patch sources can now be remote files instead of only salt:// URLs

       • Multi-file patches are now supported

       • Patch files can be templated

       In addition, it is no longer necessary to specify what the hash of the patched file should be.

   New no_proxy Minion Configuration
       Pass a list of hosts using the no_proxy minion config option to bypass an HTTP proxy.

       NOTE:
          This key does nothing unless proxy_host is configured and it does not support any kind of wildcards.

          no_proxy: [ '127.0.0.1', 'foo.tld' ]

   Changes to slack Engine
       The  output returned to Slack from functions run using this engine is now formatted using that function's
       proper outputter. Earlier releases would format the output in YAML for  all  functions  except  for  when
       states were run.

   Enhancements to wtmp Beacon
       A  new  key,  action,  has  been  added to the events fired by this beacon, which will contain either the
       string login or logout. This will simplify reactors which use this beacon's data, as it will no longer be
       necessary to check the integer value of the type key to know whether the event is a login or logout.

       Additionally, in the event that your platform has a non-standard utmp.h, you can now configure which type
       numbers indicate a login and logout.

       See the wtmp beacon documentation for more information.

   Deprecated and Removed Options
   API Removed Arguments
       Support for LocalClient's expr_form argument has been removed. Please use tgt_type instead.  This  change
       was  made  due  to  numerous  reports of confusion among community members, since the targeting method is
       published to minions as tgt_type, and appears as tgt_type in the job cache as well.

       Those who are using the LocalClient (either directly, or implicitly via a netapi module) need  to  update
       their code to use tgt_type.

          >>> import salt.client
          >>> local = salt.client.LocalClient()
          >>> local.cmd("*", "cmd.run", ["whoami"], tgt_type="glob")
          {'jerry': 'root'}

   Minion Configuration Deprecated Option
       The  master_shuffle  configuration  option  is  deprecated  as  of  the  2019.2.0 release. Please use the
       random_master option instead.

   Module Removed Options
       • The napalm_network module has been changed as follows:

            • Support for the template_path has been removed from net.load_template function.  This  is  because
              support for NAPALM native templates has been dropped.

       • The pip module has been changed as follows:

            • Support for the no_chown option has been removed from pip.install function.

       • The trafficserver module has been changed as follows:

            • The trafficserver.match_var function was removed. Please use trafficserver.match_metric instead.

            • The trafficserver.read_var function was removed. Please use trafficserver.read_config instead.

            • The trafficserver.set_var function was removed. Please use trafficserver.set_config instead.

       • The win_update module has been removed. It has been replaced by win_wua.

       • The win_wua module has been changed as follows:

            • The  win_wua.download_update  and win_wua.download_updates functions have been removed. Please use
              win_wua.download instead.

            • The win_wua.install_update and win_wua.install_updates functions have  been  removed.  Please  use
              win_wua.install instead.

            • The  win_wua.list_update function has been removed. Please use functions have been removed. Please
              use win_wua.get instead.

            • The win_wua.list_updates function has been removed. Please use functions have been removed. Please
              use win_wua.list instead.

   Pillar Removed Option
       • The vault external pillar has been changed as follows:

            • Support for the profile argument was removed. Any options passed up until and following the  first
              path= are discarded.

   Roster Removed Option
       • The cache roster has been changed as follows:

            • Support  for  roster_order  as  a  list  or  tuple  has  been removed. As of the 2019.2.0 release,
              roster_order must be a dictionary.

            • The roster_order option now includes IPv6 in addition to IPv4 for the private, public,  global  or
              local settings. The syntax for these settings has changed to ipv4-* or ipv6-*, respectively.

   State Removed Modules and Options
       • The docker state module has been removed

            • In 2017.7.0, the states from this module were split into four separate state modules:

                  • docker_containerdocker_imagedocker_volumedocker_network

            • The docker module remained, for backward-compatibility, but it has now been removed. Please update
              SLS files to use the new state names:

                  • docker.running => docker_container.runningdocker.stopped => docker_container.stoppeddocker.absent => docker_container.absentdocker.network_present => docker_network.presentdocker.network_absent => docker_network.absentdocker.image_present => docker_image.presentdocker.image_absent => docker_image.absentdocker.volume_present => docker_volume.presentdocker.volume_absent => docker_volume.absent

       • The docker_network state module has been changed as follows:

            • The  driver  option  has been removed from docker_network.absent.  It had no functionality, as the
              state simply deletes the specified network name if it exists.

       • The deprecated ref option has been removed from the git.detached state. Please use rev instead.

       • The k8s state module has been removed in favor of the kubernetes state mdoule. Please update SLS  files
         as follows:

            • In place of k8s.label_present, use kubernetes.node_label_present

            • In place of k8s.label_absent, use kubernetes.node_label_absent

            • In place of k8s.label_folder_absent, use kubernetes.node_label_folder_absent

       • Support  for  the  template_path option in the netconfig.managed <salt.states.netconfig.managed() state
         has been removed. This is because support for NAPALM native templates has been dropped.

       • Support for the no_chown option in the pip.insalled state has been removed.

       • The trafficserver.set_var state has been removed. Please use trafficserver.config instead.

       • Support for the no_chown option in  the  :py:func`virtualenv.managed  <salt.states.virtualenv.managed>`
         function has been removed.

       • The win_update state module has been removed. It has been replaced by win_wua.

       • Support for virtual packages has been removed from the py:mod:pkg state <salt.states.pkg>.

   Utils Removed Options
       The cloud utils module had the following changes:

       • Support  for  the  cache_nodes_ip  function  in  salt  utils  module has been removed. The function was
         incomplete and non-functional.

       The vault utils module had the following changes:

       • Support for specifying Vault connection data within a 'profile' has been removed.  Please see the vault
         execution module documentation for details on the new configuration schema.

   Dependency Deprecations
       Salt-Cloud has been updated to use the pypsexec Python library instead of  the  winexe  executable.  Both
       winexe  and  pypsexec  run  remote  commands against Windows OSes. Since winexe is not packaged for every
       system, it has been deprecated in favor of pypsexec.

       Salt-Cloud has deprecated the use impacket in favor  of  smbprotocol.   This  changes  was  made  because
       impacket is not compatible with Python 3.

   SaltSSH Major Updates
       SaltSSH  now  works  across  different  major  Python versions. Python 2.7 ~ Python 3.x are now supported
       transparently. Requirement is, however, that the SaltMaster should have  installed  Salt,  including  all
       related  dependencies  for  Python 2 and Python 3.  Everything needs to be importable from the respective
       Python environment.

       SaltSSH can bundle up an arbitrary version of Salt. If there would be an old box for example, running  an
       outdated  and  unsupported Python 2.6, it is still possible from a SaltMaster with Python 3.5 or newer to
       access it. This feature requires an additional configuration in /etc/salt/master as follows:

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2016.3:                     # Namespace, can be actually anything.
                  py-version: [2, 6]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2016.3/salt  # Main Salt installation
                  dependencies:           # List of dependencies and their installation paths
                    jinja2: /opt/jinja2
                    yaml: /opt/yaml
                    tornado: /opt/tornado
                    msgpack: /opt/msgpack
                    certifi: /opt/certifi
                    singledispatch: /opt/singledispatch.py
                    singledispatch_helpers: /opt/singledispatch_helpers.py
                    markupsafe: /opt/markupsafe
                    backports_abc: /opt/backports_abc.py

       It is also possible to use several alternative versions of Salt. You can for instance generate a  minimal
       tarball  using  runners  and  include that. But this is only possible, when such specific Salt version is
       also available on the Master machine, although does not need to be directly installed together  with  the
       older Python interpreter.

       SaltSSH now support private key's passphrase. You can configure it by:

       • --priv-passwd for salt-ssh cli

       • salt_priv_passwd for salt master configure file

       • priv_passwd for salt roster file

   State Module Changes
   salt State Module (used in orchestration)
       The  test option now defaults to None. A value of True or False set here is passed to the state being run
       and can be used to override a test: True option set in the minion's config file. In previous releases the
       minion's config option would take precedence and it would be impossible to  run  an  orchestration  on  a
       minion with test mode set to True in the config file.

       If  a minion is not in permanent test mode due to the config file and the 'test' argument here is left as
       None then a value of test=True on  the  command-line  is  passed  correctly  to  the  minion  to  run  an
       orchestration  in  test  mode.  At  present  it is not possible to pass test=False on the command-line to
       override a minion in permanent test mode and so  the  test:  False  option  must  still  be  set  in  the
       orchestration file.

   event.send State
       The event.send state does not know the results of the sent event, so returns changed every state run.  It
       can now be set to return changed or unchanged.

   influxdb_user.present Influxdb User Module State
       The  password  parameter has been changed to passwd to remove the name collusion with the influxdb client
       configuration (client_kwargs) allowing management of users when authentication is enabled on the influxdb
       instance

       Old behavior:

          influxdb_user.present:
            - name: exampleuser
            - password: exampleuserpassword
            - user: admin
            - password: adminpassword

       New behavior:

          influxdb_user.present:
            - name: exampleuser
            - passwd: exampleuserpassword
            - user: admin
            - password: adminpassword

   winrepo_cache_expire_min Windows Package Definitions Caching
       The winrepo_cache_expire_min has been changed from 0  to  1800  (30  minutes)  For  example  if  you  run
       highstate  the  package  definitions  are  normally  updated,  however now if the package definitions are
       younger than winrepo_cache_expire_min (30  minutes)  the  package  definitions  will  not  be  refreshed,
       reducing  the amount of time taken to run a 2nd highstate. To get the old behaviour change the value back
       to 0 in the minion configuration file. This also effects the behaviour of other functions  which  default
       to refresh.  The pkg.refresh_db will always refresh the package definitions.

   LDAP External Authentication
   freeipa groupattribute support
       Previously,  if Salt was using external authentication against a freeipa LDAP system it could only search
       for users via  the  accountattributename  field.   This  release  add  an  additional  search  using  the
       groupattribute  field  as  well.   The  original  accountattributename  search  is  done  first  then the
       groupattribute allowing for backward compatibility with previous Salt releases.

   Jinja Include Relative Paths
       When a jinja include template name begins with ./ or  ../  then  the  import  will  be  relative  to  the
       importing file.

       Prior practices required the following construct:

          {% from tpldir ~ '/foo' import bar %}

       A more "natural" construct is now supported:

          {% from './foo' import bar %}

       Comparatively when importing from a parent directory - prior practice:

          {% from tpldir ~ '/../foo' import bar %}

       New style for including from a parent directory:

          {% from '../foo' import bar %}

   salt-api
   salt-api Windows support
       Previously,  salt-api  was  was  not  supported  on the Microsoft Windows platforms. Now it is!  salt-api
       provides a RESTful interface to a running Salt system. It allows for viewing minions, runners,  and  jobs
       as well as running execution modules and runners of a running Salt system through a REST API that returns
       JSON.              See            Salt-API            documentation.             ..            _Salt-API:
       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/netapi/index.html

   Logging Changes
   Include Job ID (JID) in Minion and Master Logs
       The Job ID (JID) can now be optionally included in both the minion and master logs by  including  jid  in
       either the log_fmt_console or log_fmt_logfile configuration option:

          log_fmt_console: "[%(levelname)-8s] %(jid)s %(message)s"

       The  will cause the JID to be included in any log entries that are related to a particular Salt job.  The
       JID will be included using the default format, [JID: %(jid)s] but can be overridden with the  log_fmt_jid
       configuration item.

          log_fmt_jid: "[JID: %(jid)s]"

   Security
   Windows runas changes
       A  password  is  no  longer  required with runas under normal circumstances.  The password option is only
       needed if the minion process is run under a restricted (non-administrator) account. In the aforementioned
       case, a password is only required when using the runas argument to run command as a different user.

   Salt 2019.2.1 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.1 is a bugfix release for 2019.2.0.

   Known IssuesISSUE #54751: Proxy minion fails to start. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54762: URIs with IPv6 addresses are broken, preventing master-minion communication in  IPv6-only
         environments. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE  #54776:  Minion  fails to start when it contains ping_interval in minion configuration file. Fix
         planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54731: Returners (except for default salt master returner) not  loading  properly  in  Py3.  Fix
         planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54758: salt-call state.show_states gives  "Passed invalid arguments" error when a sls defined in
         top.sls file is missing. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54765: Jinja from import is broken. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE  #54771:  Affects only Debian 10. pkgrepo.managed does not work if used with proxy (configured at
         salt-minion). No fix date available yet.

       • ISSUE #54759: Deprecation warnings for pyzmq. No fix date available yet.

   Change to YAML Renderer
          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data }}

       In 2019.2.0, the above SLS will result in an error message following changes to the  YAML  renderer  that
       now require the new Jinja filter tojson.

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data|tojson }}

       In  2019.2.1,  we  introduce  a  new  configuration  option  for  both  the  Salt  master and Salt minion
       configurations to be able to support the older YAML renderer.  Using the option  use_yamlloader_old  will
       allow the YAML renderer to function as before.

           __opts__ being used in all cases.  This change updates the glob_match function to use  the  preserved
           minion_id of the master if it is available so that targeting works as expected.

   Salt 2019.2.3 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.3 is a CVE-fix release for 2019.2.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2019-17361

       With the Salt NetAPI enabled in addition to having  a  SSH  roster  defined,  unauthenticated  access  is
       possible  when  specifying  the  client as SSH.  Additionally, when the raw_shell option is specified any
       arbitrary command may be run on the Salt master when specifying SSH options.

   Salt 2019.2.4 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.4 is a CVE-fix release for 2019.2.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2020-11651

       An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before  2019.2.4  and  3000  before  3000.2.   The  salt-master
       process  ClearFuncs  class  does  not properly validate method calls. This allows a remote user to access
       some methods without authentication. These methods can be used to retrieve  user  tokens  from  the  salt
       master and/or run arbitrary commands on salt minions.

       CVE-2020-11652

       An  issue  was  discovered  in  SaltStack  Salt  before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2.  The salt-master
       process ClearFuncs class allows access to some methods that  improperly  sanitize  paths.  These  methods
       allow arbitrary directory access to authenticated users.

   Known Issue
       Part  of the fix for CVE-2020-11651 added better validation of the methods allowed to be called by remote
       clients.  Both AESFuncs and ClearFuncs now have an explicit list of methods that can be called.  The name
       of one of these whitlisted methods  on  AESFuncs  had  a  typo.   The  _minion_runner  method  should  be
       minion_runner  (without  the  underscore  prefix).   This typo breaks the publish module’s runner method.
       Calling runners, for example:

          salt minion publish.runner manage.down

       Will not work, and you will receive and empty reply from the salt master.

       This will be addressed in the 3001 release of Salt set for mid-June 2020.

   Salt 2019.2.5 Release Notes

   Salt 2018.3.0 Release Notes - Codename Oxygen
       WARNING:
          If  you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this will now cause errors in
          Python 2 since Jinja does not produce YAML-compatible output  when  strings  in  the  data  structures
          contain unicode types. The dictionary must be passed through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible
          strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja

       This  release  fixes a number of nagging issues with Unicode strings in Salt under Python 2 (ex.  'ascii'
       codec can't decode byte 0xd0). For best results, use  a  UTF-8  locale  (such  as  by  setting  the  LANG
       environment  variable  to  one  which  supports UTF-8. For example en_US.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, ru_RU.UTF-8,
       C.UTF-8).

       Additionally, a number of Python 3 compatibility fixes have been made, many of them  having  to  do  with
       file I/O and str/bytes mismatches.

       We continue to work toward improving both Unicode and Python 3 compatibility and welcome any feedback.

   Lots of Docker Improvements
   Much Improved Support for Docker Networking
       The docker_network.present state has undergone a full rewrite, which includes the following improvements:

   Full API Support for Network Management
       The  improvements made to input handling in the docker_container.running state for 2017.7.0 have now been
       expanded to docker_network.present. This brings with  it  full  support  for  all  tunable  configuration
       arguments.

   Custom Subnets
       Custom  subnets can now be configured. Both IPv4 and mixed IPv4/IPv6 networks are supported. See here for
       more information.

   Network Configuration in docker_container.running States
       A long-requested feature has finally been added!  It  is  now  possible  to  configure  static  IPv4/IPv6
       addresses, as well as links and labels. See here for more information.

       NOTE:
          While  the  containers  argument  to  docker_network.present will continue to be supported, it will no
          longer be the recommended way of ensuring that a container is attached to a network.

   Improved Handling of Images from Custom Registries
       Rather than attempting to parse the tag from the passed image name, Salt will now resolve that  tag  down
       to an image ID and use that ID instead.

       IMPORTANT:
          Due  to this change, there are some backward-incompatible changes to image management. See below for a
          full list of these changes.

   Backward-incompatible Changes to Docker Image Management
       Passing image names to the following functions must  now  be  done  using  separate  repository  and  tag
       arguments:

       • docker.builddocker.commitdocker.importdocker.loaddocker.tagdocker.sls_build

       Additionally,  the  tag  argument must now be explicitly passed to the docker_image.present state, unless
       the image is being pulled from a docker registry.

   State and Execution Module Support for docker run Functionality
       The docker_container.running state is good for containers which run services, but it is not as useful for
       cases in which the container only needs to run once. The start argument to  docker_container.running  can
       be  set  to False to prevent the container from being started again on a subsequent run, but for many use
       cases this is not sufficient. Therefore, the docker.run_container remote-execution  function  was  added.
       When  used  on  the  Salt CLI, it will return information about the container, such as its name, ID, exit
       code, and any output it produces.

       State support has also been added via the docker_container.run state. This state  is  modeled  after  the
       cmd.run  state,  and  includes  arguments  like onlyif, unless, and creates to control whether or not the
       container is run.

   Full API Support for docker.logs
       This function now supports all of the functions that its Docker API counterpart does, allowing you to  do
       things like include timestamps, and also suppress stdout/stderr, etc. in the return.

   start Argument Added to docker.create Function
       This removes the need to run docker.start separately when creating containers on the Salt CLI.

          salt myminion docker.create image=foo/bar:baz command=/path/to/command start=True

   Use SaltSSH Minions like regular Master-Minions
       The  Master  process  can now also call SSH minions as if they were connected to the master using ZeroMQ.
       By setting enable_ssh_minions: True in the master config file, the master will create a Salt  SSH  client
       process  which  connects  to  the  minion  and  returns the output for the salt CLI to use like a regular
       minion. This can be used anywhere the LocalClient is used.

   Exceptions Raised for Authentication/Authorization Errors
       When sending publish commands via master.py and  masterapi.py  and  an  authorization  or  authentication
       problem  is  encountered,  Salt  will  now raise the appropriate exceptions instead of returning an empty
       string: ''.

       The reasoning  behind  this  change  is  to  make  it  easier  to  debug  various  scenarios  surrounding
       authentication and authorization issues more effectively.

   Comparison Operators in Package Installation
       Salt now supports using comparison operators (e.g. >=1.2.3) when installing packages on minions which use
       yum/dnf or apt. This is supported both in the pkg.installed state and in the pkg.install remote execution
       function.

   Master Tops Changes
       When  both  Master  Tops  and  a  Top File produce SLS matches for a given minion, the matches were being
       merged in an unpredictable manner which did not preserve ordering. This has been changed.  The  top  file
       matches now execute in the expected order, followed by any master tops matches that are not matched via a
       top file.

       To  make  master  tops matches execute first, followed by top file matches, set the new master_tops_first
       minion config option to True.

   Several Jinja Filters Renamed
       The following Jinja filters (originally added in 2017.7.0) have been renamed due to the  fact  that  they
       were inaccurately named when initially added. The original names will be supported until the 3000 release
       of Salt.

       • rand_str renamed to random_hashjinja_decode_dict renamed to jinja_encode_dictjinja_decode_list renamed to jinja_encode_list

   Return Codes for Runner/Wheel Functions
       When  using orchestration, runner and wheel functions used to report a True result if the function ran to
       completion without raising an exception. It is now possible to set  a  return  code  in  the  __context__
       dictionary,  allowing  runner  and  wheel  functions  to  report  that  they  failed. Here's some example
       pseudocode:

          def myrunner():
              ...
              # do stuff
              ...
              if some_error_condition:
                  __context__["retcode"] = 1
              return result

   Variable Update Intervals for Fileserver Backends
       Prior to this release, fileservers would be updated as part of  a  dedicated  "maintenance"  process,  in
       which  various  routine  maintenance  tasks  were  performed.  This  tied  the  update  interval  to  the
       loop_interval config option, and also forced all fileservers to update at the same interval.

       2018.3.0 adds the following configuration options for the various fileserver backends:

       • roots_update_intervalazurefs_update_intervalgitfs_update_intervalhgfs_update_intervalminionfs_update_intervals3fs_update_intervalsvnfs_update_interval

       These allow for update intervals to be set for each individual backend. The default  value  for  each  of
       these is 60 seconds.

       In  addition,  for  GitFS  it  is  also  possible  to apply intervals to individual remotes. See here for
       examples.

       NOTE:
          git_pillar does not yet support variable update intervals, this  is  targeted  for  the  next  feature
          release (2019.2.0).

   LDAP via External Authentication Changes
       In  this  release of Salt, if LDAP Bind Credentials are supplied, then these credentials will be used for
       all LDAP access except the first authentication when a job is submitted.  The first  authentication  will
       use  the  user's  credentials  as  passed on the CLI.  This behavior is to accommodate certain two-factor
       authentication schemes where the authentication token can only be used once.

       In previous releases the bind credentials would only be used to determine the LDAP user's  existence  and
       group membership.  The user's LDAP credentials were used from then on.

   Stormpath External Authentication Removed
       Per  Stormpath's  announcement, their API will be shutting down on 8/17/2017 at noon PST so the Stormpath
       external authentication module has been removed.

       https://stormpath.com/oktaplusstormpath

   New (Proxy) Minion Configuration Options
       To be able to connect the Minion to the Master using a certain source IP address or port,  the  following
       options have been added:

       • source_interface_namesource_addresssource_ret_portsource_publish_port

   environment config option renamed to saltenv
       The  environment config option predates referring to a salt fileserver environment as a saltenv. To pin a
       minion to a single environment for running  states,  one  would  use  environment,  but  overriding  that
       environment  would be done with the saltenv argument. For consistency, environment is now simply referred
       to as saltenv. There are no plans to deprecate or remove environment, if used it will log a  warning  and
       its value will be used as saltenv.

   lock_saltenv config option added
       If  set  to  True,  this  option will prevent a minion from allowing the saltenv argument to override the
       value set in saltenv when running states.

   Failed Minions for State/Function Orchestration Jobs Added to Changes Dictionary
       For orchestration jobs which run states (or run remote execution functions and also use a  fail  function
       to indicate success or failure), minions which have False results were previously included as a formatted
       string  in  the  comment  field  of  the  return for that orchestration job. This made the failed returns
       difficult to parse programatically. The failed returns in these cases are now  included  in  the  changes
       dictionary, making for much easier parsing.

            • for  detecting  Solaris  Logical  Domains  (LDOMs)  running  on  T-Series  SPARC   hardware.   The
              virtual_subtype grain is populated as a list of domain roles.

   Salt Minion Auto-discovery
       Using auto-discovery, the Salt Minion now no longer needs to be configured against a specific DNS name or
       IP address of a Master.

       For  this  feature Salt Master now requires port 4520 for UDP broadcast packets to be opened and the Salt
       Minion be able to send UDP packets to the same port.

   Configuration
       By default, automatic discovery is disabled.

       WARNING:
          Due to the current limitations that will  be  changing  in  a  future  release,  before  you  turn  on
          auto-discovery, make sure your network is secured and trusted.

       Auto-discovery  is  configured on Master and Minion. Both of them are configured via the discovery option
       as follows:

       Master configuration

       To use the default configuration, which accepts any minion, simply set discovery to True:

          discovery: true

       A sub-option called mapping allows auto-discovery to help find the proper Master. The mapping contains an
       arbitrary set of key/value pairs, which the Minion configuration can target. By default, no mappings  are
       set.

       Example:

          discovery:
            mapping:
              description: SES 5.0
              node: 1

       It  is also possible to change the port used from the default of 4520, by setting a port option under the
       Master's discovery configuration:

          discovery:
            port: 4567

       NOTE:
          When using a port number other than the default, the Minion's discovery configuration must also have a
          port specified, otherwise the Minion will still attempt to contact the Master on port 4520.

       Minion configuration

       In addition to the mapping and port options, the following additional options are available to Minions:

       • attempts - This option specifies how many broadcast requests should be sent to the network, waiting for
         any Master response. Each attempt takes a couple of seconds, so raising this  value  may  result  in  a
         slower Minion startup. Note that, on a properly-configured network, autodiscovery should succeed on the
         first attempt. By default, this value is set to 3.

       • match  -  This  option  can be set to either all or any, and it determines how the values configured in
         mapping are matched. If set to all, then all of the key/value pairs in the Minion's mapping must  match
         a  given  Master.  If set to any (the default), then any match to a key/value mapping will constitute a
         match.

       • pause - The interval in seconds between attempts (default: 5).

       • fibre_channel_grains - Enables the fc_wwn grain. (Default: False)

       • iscsi_grains - Enables the iscsi_iqn grain. (Default: False)

   Connection to a type instead of DNS
       By now each Minion was connecting to a Master by DNS or IP address. From now on it is  possible  also  to
       connect  to  a  _type_  of  a  Master.  For example, in a network there are three different Masters, each
       corresponds for a particular niche or environment or specific role etc. The Minion is supposed to connect
       only to one of those Masters that is described appropriately.

       To achieve such an effect, each /etc/salt/master configuration should  have  a  discovery  option,  which
       should  have  a  mapping  element with arbitrary key/value pairs. The same configuration should be on the
       Minion, so then when mapping matches, Minion recognises Master as its connection target.

       Example for Master configuration (/etc/salt/master):

          discovery:
            mapping:
              description: SES 5.0
              node: 1

       The example above describes a system that is running  a  particular  product,  where  description  is  an
       arbitrary  key  and  SES  5.0  is  just  a  string.  In order to match exactly this Master, the following
       configuration at Minion should be present:

          discovery:
            match: all  # Can be "all" or "any"
            mapping:
              description: SES 5.0
              node: 1

       Notice match criteria is set to all. This would mean that from all found Masters select only that,  which
       description is set to SES 5.0 _and_ node is set to 1. All other Masters will be ignored.

   Limitations
       This feature has a couple of _temporary_ limitations that are subject to change in the future:

       • Only one Master on the network is supported. Currently the Minion cannot select which Master out of few
         the same to choose. This will change to choosing the Master that is least loaded.

       • Minions  will  accept  _any_  master  that  matches connection criteria without any particular security
         applied (priv/pub key check, signature, fingerprint etc).  That implies that administrator is  expected
         to know his network and make sure it is clean.

   New Modulessalt.modules.purefa

   New NaCl Renderer
       A new renderer has been added for encrypted data.

   New support for Cisco UCS Chassis
       The salt proxy minion now allows for control of Cisco USC chassis. See the cimc modules for details.

   New support for Cassandra v3
       The  cassandra_cql  module  now  supports  Cassandra  v3  which has changed its internal schema to define
       keyspaces and columns.

   New salt-ssh roster
       A new roster has been added that allows users to pull in a list of hosts for salt-ssh  targeting  from  a
       ~/.ssh configuration. For full details, please see the sshconfig roster.

   New GitFS Features
       Two  new  features  which  affect how GitFS maps branches/tags to fileserver environments (i.e. saltenvs)
       have been added:

       1. It is now possible to completely turn off Salt's default mapping logic (aside from the mapping of  the
          base saltenv). This can be triggered using the new gitfs_disable_saltenv_mapping config option.

          NOTE:
             When  this  is  disabled,  only the base saltenv and any configured using per-saltenv configuration
             parameters will be available.

       2. The types of refs which Salt will use as  saltenvs  can  now  be  controlled.  In  previous  releases,
          branches  and  tags were both mapped as environments, and individual commit SHAs could be specified as
          saltenvs in states (and when caching files using cp.cache_file).  Using the new gitfs_ref_types config
          option, the types of refs which are used as saltenvs can be restricted.  This  makes  it  possible  to
          ignore all tags and use branches only, and also to keep SHAs from being made available as saltenvs.

   Additional output modes
       The  state_output parameter now supports full_id, changes_id and terse_id.  Just like mixed_id, these use
       the state ID as name in the highstate output.  For more information on these output modes, see  the  docs
       for the Highstate Outputter.

   Windows
   Python Version
       Python  2  Windows  API  was  design  when  Windows did not support Unicode. Windows now supports Unicode
       however to keep backwards compatibility Python 2 Windows API has not been changed.  Python 3 Windows  API
       supports  Unicode.  Salt  Python  3 installer is the recommend choice for users who need characters other
       than Non-ASCII (7bit) characters.

   pkg Execution module changes
       Significant changes have been made to the win_pkg  execution  module.  Users  should  test  this  release
       against their existing package sls definition files. These changes are also in 2016.11.9 & 2017.7.3.

       • pkg.list_available no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.

       • pkg.install  without  a  version  parameter  no  longer  upgrades  software  if the software is already
         installed. Use pkg.install version=latest or in a state use pkg.latest to get the old behavior.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns 'Not Found' when the version is not found instead of '(value not set)'  which
         matches the contents of the sls definitions.

       • pkg.remove()  will  wait  up  to  3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in the registry
         after removing software, improving reporting of version changes.

       • pkg.remove() can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.

       • Documentation was update for the execution module to match the style in new versions, some  corrections
         as well.

       • All  install/remove  commands  are  prefix  with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is called with a command line
         string instead of a list. Some sls files in  saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng  expected  the  commands  to  be
         prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).

       • Some execution module functions results, now behavour more like their Unix/Linux versions.

   Installer
   Changes to config handling
       Behavior  with  existing  configuration has changed. With previous windows installers the existing config
       was used and the master and minion id could be modified via the installer. It was problematic in that  it
       didn't account for configuration that may be defined in the minion.d directory. This change gives you the
       option via a drop-down list to use one of the following:

       • Default Config: Use the config that comes with the installer

       • Existing Config: Use the current config without changes

       • Custom Config: Select a custom config using the file picker

       The  existing  config option will only be available if the installer detects an existing config. If there
       is an existing config, and you choose Default or Custom, the existing config will be  deleted,  including
       the minion.d directory, and replaced by your selection.

       The  Default  Config  and  Custom  Config  options will allow you to modify the Master and the Minion ID.
       Existing Config will leave the existing configuration unchanged.

       These settings can be defined on the command line using the following switches:

       • /default-config/custom-config=C:\Path\To\Custom\Config\minion

       If neither option is passed and there is an existing config, the default is to use the  existing  config.
       If there is no existing config (new install) the default config will be used.

   Multi-master configuration
       The  installer  now  has  the  ability  to  apply a multi-master configuration either from the GUI or the
       command line. The master field in the GUI can accept either a single master or a comma-separated list  of
       masters. The command-line switch (/master=) can accept the same.

   Command-line help
       The Windows installer will now display command-line help when a help switch (/?) is passed.

   New utils module salt.utils.pkg.win
       A  new  utils  module has been added, which gathers information about windows installed software. This is
       currently not used by any salt execution module or state at this time. Users are encouraged to  run  this
       and  report  any issues.  Running the command with the detail option will be useful for anyone developing
       windows package definitions.  With salt installed in the default  location  the  following  command  will
       print the help message.

          chcp 65001
          c:\salt\bin\python.exe c:\salt\bin\lib\site-packages\salt\utils\pkg\win.py
          c:\salt\bin\python.exe c:\salt\bin\lib\site-packages\salt\utils\pkg\win.py detail system

   Salt Cloud Features
   OpenStack Revamp
       The  OpenStack  Driver  has  been  rewritten  mostly  from  scratch.   Salt is now using the shade driver
       <https://docs.openstack.org/shade/latest/>.

       With this, the nova driver is being deprecated.

       openstack driver

       There have also been several new modules and states added for managing OpenStack setups  using  shade  as
       well.

       keystone project keystone endpoint glance glance_image neutron neutron subnet  neutron  secgroup  neutron
       secgroup rule neutron network

   Pre-Flight Commands
       Support has been added for specified "preflight commands" to run on a VM before the deploy script is run.
       These must be defined as a list in a cloud configuration file. For example:

          my-cloud-profile:
            provider: linode-config
            image: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
            size: Linode 2048
            preflight_cmds:
              - whoami
              - echo 'hello world!'

       These commands will run in sequence before the bootstrap script is executed.

   New salt-cloud Grains
       When salt-cloud creates a new minion, it will now add grain information to the minion configuration file,
       identifying the resources originally used to create it.

       The generated grain information will appear similar to:

          grains:
            salt-cloud:
              driver: ec2
              provider: my_ec2:ec2
              profile: ec2-web

       The  generation  of salt-cloud grains can be suppressed by the option enable_cloud_grains: 'False' in the
       cloud configuration file.

   Upgraded Saltify Driver
       The salt-cloud Saltify driver is used to provision machines which are not controlled by a dedicated cloud
       supervisor (such as typical hardware machines) by pushing a salt-bootstrap command to them and  accepting
       them  on  the salt master. Creation of a node has been its only function and no other salt-cloud commands
       were implemented.

       With this upgrade, it can use the salt-api to provide advanced control,  such  as  rebooting  a  machine,
       querying it along with conventional cloud minions, and, ultimately, disconnecting it from its master.

       After  disconnection  from  ("destroying"  on)  one master, a machine can be re-purposed by connecting to
       ("creating" on) a subsequent master.

   New Vagrant Driver
       The salt-cloud Vagrant driver brings virtual machines  running  in  a  limited  environment,  such  as  a
       programmer's workstation, under salt-cloud control.  This can be useful for experimentation, instruction,
       or testing salt configurations.

       Using  salt-api  on  the  master,  and a salt-minion running on the host computer, the Vagrant driver can
       create (vagrant up), restart (vagrant reload), and  destroy  (vagrant  destroy)  VMs,  as  controlled  by
       salt-cloud profiles which designate a Vagrantfile on the host machine.

       The master can be a very limited machine, such as a Raspberry Pi, or a small VagrantBox VM.

   Python PyWinRM Module
       Versions  of pywinrm>=0.2.1 are finally able to disable validation of self signed certificates.  Here for
       more information.

   DigitalOcean
       The DigitalOcean driver has been renamed to conform  to  the  company  name.   The  new  driver  name  is
       digitalocean.   The  old  name  digital_ocean  and a short one do will still be supported through virtual
       aliases, this is mostly cosmetic.

   Azure Cloud
       The azure sdk used for the azurearm cloud driver now depends on azure-cli>=2.0.12

   New saltclass pillar/master_tops modules
       This module clones the behaviour of reclass (http://reclass.pantsfullofunix.net/), without the need of an
       external app, and add several features to improve flexibility.  Saltclass lets you define your nodes from
       simple yaml files (.yml) through hierarchical class inheritance with the possibility to override  pillars
       down the tree.

       Features

       • Define your nodes through hierarchical class inheritance

       • Reuse your reclass data with minimal modifications

            • applications => states

            • parameters => pillars

       • Use Jinja templating in your yaml definitions

       • Access to the following Salt objects in Jinja

            • __opts____salt____grains____pillars__minion_id

       • Chose how to merge or override your lists using ^ character (see examples)

       • Expand variables ${} with possibility to escape them if needed ${} (see examples)

       • Ignores missing node/class and will simply return empty without breaking the pillar module completely -
         will be logged

       An          example          subset          of          data          is         available         here:

       A class consists of:

       • zero or more parent classes

       • zero or more states

       • any number of pillars

       A child class can override pillars from a parent class. A node definition is a class in  itself  with  an
       added environment parameter for saltenv definition.

       Class Names

       Class names mimic salt way of defining states and pillar files.  This means that default.users class name
       will correspond to one of these:

       • <saltclass_path>/classes/default/users.yml<saltclass_path>/classes/default/users/init.yml

       Variable expansions:

       Escaped variables are rendered as is - ${test}

       Missing variables are rendered as is - ${net:dns:srv2}

            app:
            config:
              dns:

              - app-core
              - app-backend

       List override:

       Not using ^ as the first entry will simply merge the lists

          pillars:
            app:
              pkg:
                - ^
                - app-frontend

       Known limitation

       Currently  you  can't  have both a variable and an escaped variable in the same string as the escaped one
       will not be correctly rendered - '${xx}' will stay as is instead of being rendered as '${xx}'

   Lists of comments in state returns
       State functions can now return a list of strings for the comment field,  as  opposed  to  only  a  single
       string.  This is meant to ease writing states with multiple or multi-part comments.

   Beacon configuration changes
       In  order  to  remain  consistent  and  to  align  with other Salt components such as states, support for
       configuring beacons using dictionary based configuration has been  deprecated  in  favor  of  list  based
       configuration.  All beacons have a validation function which will check the configuration for the correct
       format and only load if the validation passes.

   New requisites available in state compiler
   require_any
       The  use  of require_any demands that one of the required states executes before the dependent state. The
       state containing the require_any requisite is defined as the dependent state. The states specified in the
       require_any statement are defined as the required states.  If  at  least  one  of  the  required  state's
       execution  succeeds,  the  dependent  state  will  then execute. If all of the executions by the required
       states fail, the dependent state will not execute.

   watch_any
       The state containing the watch_any requisite is defined as the watching state. The  states  specified  in
       the  watch_any  statement  are  defined as the watched states. When the watched states execute, they will
       return a dictionary containing a key named "changes".

       If the "result" of any of the watched states is True, the watching state will execute  normally,  and  if
       all  of  them are False, the watching state will never run.  This part of watch mirrors the functionality
       of the require requisite.

       If the "result" of any of the watched  states  is  True  and  the  "changes"  key  contains  a  populated
       dictionary (changes occurred in the watched state), then the watch requisite can add additional behavior.
       This  additional  behavior  is defined by the mod_watch function within the watching state module. If the
       mod_watch function exists in the watching state module, it will be  called  in  addition  to  the  normal
       watching  state.  The  return  data from the mod_watch function is what will be returned to the master in
       this case; the return data from the main watching function is discarded.

       If the "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, the watch requisite  acts  exactly  like  the  require
       requisite  (the  watching  state  will  execute if "result" is True, and fail if "result" is False in the
       watched state).

   onchanges_any
       The onchanges_any requisite makes a state only apply one of the required states generates changes, and if
       one of the watched state's "result" is True. This can be a useful  way  to  execute  a  post  hook  after
       changing aspects of a system.

   onfail_any
       The onfail_any requisite allows for reactions to happen strictly as a response to the failure of at least
       one  other  state.  This  can be used in a number of ways, such as executing a second attempt to set up a
       service or begin to execute a separate thread of states because of a failure.

       The onfail_any requisite is applied in the same way as require_any and watch_any.

   Basic Slots support in state compiler
       Slots extend the state syntax and allows you to do things right before the state function is executed. So
       you can make a decision in the last moment right before a state is executed.

       Slot syntax looks close to the simple python function call. Here is a simple example:

          copy-some-file:
            file.copy:
              - name: __slot__:salt:test.echo(text=/tmp/some_file)
              - source: __slot__:salt:test.echo(/etc/hosts)

       Read more here.

   Cryptographic layer changes
       M2Crypto is coming back. We are making the crypto backend modular but in this release M2Crypto is enabled
       if it's importable by Python. If not Cryptodome or PyCrypto is used as it was in the  previous  releases.
       M2Crypto  is  used in the same way as PyCrypto so there would be no compatibility issues, different nodes
       could use different backends.

   NaCL Module and Runner changes
       In addition to argument changes in both the NaCL module  and  runner  for  future  removal  in  the  3000
       release,  the  default  "box_type"  has changed from secretbox to sealedbox.  SecretBox is data encrypted
       using private key sk and Sealedbox is encrypted using public key pk.

   utils functions reorganized into separate modules
       The Salt utility functions from salt.utils (typically used by  those  developing  extension  modules  for
       Salt)  have  been  moved  into different modules, grouped logically based on their functionality. The old
       function names will continue to work until the 3000 release of Salt (due around Q1 2019).

       • The cmd state had the following changes:

            • The user and group options were removed from the following functions (please use runas instead):

                  • cmd.runcmd.scriptcmd.waitcmd.wait_script

       • In the file states, the show_diff option was removed in all states where it was  previously  supported.
         Please use show_changes instead.

   Grain Deprecations
       • For smartos, some grains have been deprecated. These grains will be removed in 3000:

            • The hypervisor_uuid grain has been replaced with mdata:sdc:server_uuid

            • The datacenter grain has been replaced with mdata:sdc:datacenter_name

   Pillar Deprecations
       The legacy configuration for git_pillar has been removed. Please use the new configuration for git_pillar
       which was added in 2015.8.0, which is documented here.

   Utils Deprecations
       • In  salt.utils.cloud,  the  fire_event  function  now  requires  a sock_dir argument. It was previously
         optional.

   Other Miscellaneous Deprecations
       • In version.py, the rc_info function was removed. Please use pre_info instead.

       • Warnings for moving away from the env option were removed. saltenv should be used instead. The  removal
         of these warnings does not have a behavior change. Only the warning text was removed.

   Minion Blackout
       During   a   blackout,   minions   will   not   execute   any   remote  execution  commands,  except  for
       saltutil.refresh_pillar.  Previously, support was added so that blackouts are  enabled  using  a  special
       pillar  key,  minion_blackout set to True and an optional pillar key minion_blackout_whitelist to specify
       additional functions that are permitted during blackout. This release adds support for using this feature
       in the grains as well, by using special grains keys minion_blackout and minion_blackout_whitelist.

   Sentry Log Handler
       Configuring sentry raven python client via project, servers, public_key and  ``secret_key  is  deprecated
       and won't work with sentry clients > 3.0.  Instead, the dsn config param must be used.

   RAET transport
       We  haven't  been  doing development on RAET for quite some time and decided that 2018.3.0 is the time to
       announce the deprecation. RAET support will be removed in 3000. Please consider to move to zeromq or  tcp
       transport instead of raet.

   Salt 2018.3.1 Release Notes
       Version 2018.3.1 is a bugfix release for 2018.3.0.

       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this will now cause errors  in
          Python  2  since  Jinja  does  not  produce YAML-compatible output when strings in the data structures
          contain unicode types. The dictionary must be passed through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible
          strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict | json }}

   Tornado 5.0 Support for Python 2 Only
       Tornado 5.0 moves to using asyncio for all python3 versions.  Because of  this  and  changes  in  asyncio
       between python 3.4 and 3.5 to only be able to use one ioloop, which requires some rearchitecting, support
       for tornado 5.0 and python3 versions of salt has been delayed to a later release.

       For now, to use tornado 5.0, the python 2 version of salt must be used.

   Changes to Slack Engine pillars
       When  using  groups_pillar_name  for the slack engine, the engine should be used as part of a salt-minion
       process running on the master.  This will allow the minion to have pillars assigned to it, and will still
       allow the engine to create a LocalClient connection to the master ipc sockets to control environments.

   Changes to Automatically Updating the Roster File
       In 2018.3.0 salt-ssh was configured to automatically update the flat roster file  if  a  minion  was  not
       found  for  salt-ssh.  This  was decided to be undesirable as a default.  The --skip-roster flag has been
       removed and replaced  with --update-roster, which will enable salt-ssh to add minions to the flat  roster
       file.  This behavior can also be enabled by setting ssh_update_roster: True in the master config file.

   Changes to file.blockreplace State
       The  append_newline argument was added to this state. Additionally, to improve idempotence, if the string
       represented by marker_end is found in the middle of the line, the content preceding the  marker  will  be
       removed when the block is replaced. This allows one to remove append_newline: False from the SLS and have
       the  block  properly  replaced  if the end of the content block is immediately followed by the marker_end
       (i.e. no newline before the marker).

       NOTE:
          This will require changes to your SLS if your marker_end does not include the very  beginning  of  the
          content you want to keep.

       See the file.blockreplace state documentation for further information.

               if you have multiple states using 'onfail' and two of those states using a 'require' against  the
               first  one  state,  the last two will run even if the 'onfail' isn't met because the 'require' is
               met because the first state returns true even though it didn't  execute.   This  change  adds  an
               additional  hidden  variable  that  is  used  when checking requisities to determine if the state
               actually ran.

   Salt 2018.3.2 Release Notes
       Version 2018.3.2 is a bugfix release for 2018.3.0.

       The 2018.3.2 release contains only a small number of fixes, which are detailed below.

       This release fixes two critical issues.

       The first is Issue #48038, which is a critical bug that occurs in a multi-syndic setup where the same job
       is run multiple times on a minion.

       The  second  issue  is  #48130.  This  bug  appears  in  certain setups where the Master reports a Minion
       time-out, even though the job is still running on the Minion.

       Both of these issues have been fixed with this release.

       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this will now cause errors  in
          Python  2  since  Jinja  does  not  produce YAML-compatible output when strings in the data structures
          contain unicode types. The dictionary must be passed through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible
          strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict | json }}

       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this will now cause errors  in
          Python  2  since  Jinja  does  not  produce YAML-compatible output when strings in the data structures
          contain unicode types. The dictionary must be passed through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible
          strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters. Another option would  be  to  use
          Jinja's tojson filter.

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf

                  - defaults: {{ mydict | tojson }}

   Security Fix
       CVE-2018-15751 Remote command execution and incorrect access control when using salt-api.

       CVE-2018-15750  Directory  traversal  vulnerability  when using salt-api. Allows an attacker to determine
       what files exist on a server when querying /run or /events.

   Changes to win_timezone
       Improves timezone detection by using the pytz module.

       timezone.get_offset and timezone.get_zonecode now work properly.

       Adds timezone.list to list supported timezones in either Windows or Unix format.

   New Jinja Filter
       The tojson filter (from Jinja 2.9 and later) has been ported to Salt, and will be used when  this  filter
       is not available. This allows older LTS releases such as CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 to use this filter.

       You  can  use this filter any time you wish to dump a list or dictionary into an SLS file, to ensure that
       the result is able to be loaded by the YAML renderer.  For example:

          foo:
            bar.baz:
              - some_arg: {{ mydict | tojson }}

   MacOSX escape characters with runas
       You are now required to escape quotes when using the runas argument with the cmd module on macosx.

       Example:

          cmd.run 'echo '\''h=\"baz\"'\''' runas=macuser

               pkg.hold since desired has the same value for sources.

           caused problems with pkg.hold because desired and sources are always populated, and pkg.hold can only
           include one or the other. This change just includes desired in the call to pkg.hold since desired has
           the same value for sources.

         • 6ef5ce4 Due to a previous PR the test_sdb_runner in sdb.test_vault was failing because of a exception
           that was being swallowed in the test  run_run  function.  The  cause  was  that  when  vault  related
           functions  were  being  run,  if they were being run on the master then they were being forced to run
           through the _get_token_and_url_from_master() function, which is pull the id element out of the grains
           dictionary. When the call was taking place from a runner, the exception was popping up since there is
           no id when called from a runner. This fix checks to see if the id exists in the dictionary first,  if
           it is there then _get_token_and_url_from_master() is called, otherwise _use_local_config is called.

   Salt 2018.3.5 Release Notes
       Version 2018.3.5 is a CVE-fix release for 2018.3.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2019-17361

       With  the  Salt  NetAPI  enabled  in  addition  to having a SSH roster defined, unauthenticated access is
       possible when specifying the client as SSH.  Additionally, when the raw_shell  option  is  specified  any
       arbitrary command may be run on the Salt master when specifying SSH options.

   Salt 2017.7.0 Release Notes - Codename Nitrogen
   Python 3
       The 2017.7 Salt Release adds initial Python 3 support.

       The  default Python version of Salt will remain Python 2, although Python 3 packages will be supplied for
       users who want to help test this new feature.

   Python 2.6 Deprecation
       Salt will no longer support Python 2.6. We will provide python2.7 packages on our  repo  for  RedHat  and
       CentOS 6 to ensure users can still run Salt on these platforms.

       As  this will impact the installation of additional dependencies for salt modules please use pip packages
       if there is not a package available in a repository. You will need to install the python27-pip package to
       get access to the correct pip27 executable: yum install python27-pip

   Known Issues
       The following salt-cloud drivers have known issues running with Python 3. These  drivers  will  not  work
       with Python 3, and Python 2.7 should be used instead:

       • Joyent

       • When  running  under  Python 3, users who require Unicode support should ensure that a locale is set on
         their machines.  Users using the C locale are advised to switch to a UTF-aware locale to ensure  proper
         functionality with Salt with Python 3.

   Remember to update the Salt Master first
       Salt's policy has always been that when upgrading, the minion should never be on a newer version than the
       master.   Specifically with this update, because of changes in the fileclient, the 2017.7 minion requires
       a 2017.7 master.

       Backwards compatibility is still maintained, so older minions can still be used.

       More information can be found in the Salt FAQ

   States Added for Management of systemd Unit Masking
       The service.masked and service.umasked states have been added to allow Salt to manage masking of  systemd
       units.

       Additionally,  the  following  functions  in the systemd execution module have changed to accommodate the
       fact that indefinite and runtime masks can co-exist for the same unit:

       • service.masked - The return from this function has changed from previous releases. Before, False  would
         be  returned  if  the  unit was not masked, and the output of systemctl is-enabled <unit name> would be
         returned if the unit was masked. However, since indefinite and runtime masks can  exist  for  the  same
         unit at the same time, this function has been altered to accept a runtime argument. If True, the minion
         will  be  checked  for  a  runtime  mask  assigned to the named unit. If False, then the minion will be
         checked for an indefinite mask. If one is found, True will be returned. If  not,  then  False  will  be
         returned.

       • service.masked  -  This  function  used  to  just run systemctl is-enabled <unit name> and based on the
         return from this function the corresponding mask type would be removed. However, if  both  runtime  and
         indefinite  masks  are set for the same unit, then systemctl is-enabled <unit name> would show just the
         indefinite mask. The indefinite mask would be removed, but the runtime mask would remain. The  function
         has  been  modified  to  accept  a  runtime argument, and will attempt to remove a runtime mask if that
         argument is set to True. If set to False, it will attempt to remove an indefinite mask.

       These new runtime arguments default to False.

   Pillar Encryption
       Beginning in 2016.3.0 the CLI pillar data passed to  several  functions  could  conditionally  be  passed
       through a renderer to be decrypted. This functionality has now been extended to pillar SLS files as well.
       See here for detailed documentation on this feature.

   Grains Changes
       • The  osmajorrelease  grain has been changed from a string to an integer.  State files, especially those
         using a templating language like Jinja, may need to be adjusted to account for this change.

       • Add ability to specify disk backing mode in the VMWare salt cloud profile.

   State Module Changes
       • The service.running and service.dead states now support a no_block argument which, when set to True  on
         systemd  minions,  will  start/stop  the service using the --no-block flag in the systemctl command. On
         non-systemd minions, a warning will be issued.

       • The  module.run  state  has  dropped  its  previous  syntax  with  m_  prefix  for  reserved  keywords.
         Additionally, it allows running several functions in a batch.

         NOTE:
            It is necessary to explicitly turn on the new behavior (see below)

            # Before
            run_something:
              module.run:
                - name: mymodule.something
                - m_name: 'some name'
                - kwargs: {
                  first_arg: 'one',
                  second_arg: 'two',
                  do_stuff: 'True'
                }

            # After
            run_something:
              module.run:
                - mymodule.something:
                  - name: some name
                  - first_arg: one
                  - second_arg: two
                  - do_stuff: True

         Since  a  lot  of  users  are  already  using  module.run  states,  this new behavior must currently be
         explicitly turned on, to allow users to take their time updating their SLS files. However, please  keep
         in  mind  that the new syntax will take effect in the next feature release of Salt (Oxygen) and the old
         usage will no longer be supported at that time.

         Another feature of the new module.run is that it allows calling many functions in a single batch,  such
         as:

            run_something:
              module.run:
                - mymodule.function_without_parameters:
                - mymodule.another_function:
                  - myparam
                  - my_other_param

         In  a  rare  case that you have a function that needs to be called several times but with the different
         parameters, an additional feature of "tagging" is to the rescue. In order to  tag  a  function,  use  a
         colon delimiter. For example:

            run_something:
              module.run:
                - mymodule.same_function:1:
                - mymodule.same_function:2:
                  - myparam
                  - my_other_param
                - mymodule.same_function:3:
                  - foo: bar

         The example above will run mymodule.same_function three times with the different parameters.

         To enable the new behavior for module.run, add the following to the minion config file:

            use_superseded:
              - module.run

       • The  default for the fingerprint_hash_type option used in the present function in the ssh state changed
         from md5 to sha256.

   Execution Module Changes
       • Several functions in the systemd execution module have gained a no_block argument, which  when  set  to
         True will use --no-block in the systemctl command.

       • In  the solarisips pkg module, the default value for the refresh argument to the list_upgrades function
         has been changed from False to True. This makes the function more consistent with all of the other  pkg
         modules (The other pkg.list_upgrades functions all defaulted to True).

       • The  functions  which  handle  masking  in the systemd module have changed. These changes are described
         above alongside the information on the new states which have been added to manage  masking  of  systemd
         units.

       • The  pkg.list_repo_pkgs  function  for yum/dnf-based distros has had its default output format changed.
         In prior releases, results would be organized by repository. Now, the default for each package will  be
         a simple list of versions. To get the old behavior, pass byrepo=True to the function.

       • A pkg.list_repo_pkgs function has been added for both Debian/Ubuntu and Arch Linux-based distros.

       • The system module changed its return format from "HH:MM AM/PM" to "HH:MM:SS AM/PM" for get_system_time.

       • The  default  for the fingerprint_hash_type option used in the ssh execution module changed from md5 to
         sha256.

   Proxy Module Changes
       The  proxy_merge_grains_in_module  configuration  variable  introduced  in  2016.3,  has  been   changed,
       defaulting to True.

       The  connection  with  the  remote  device is kept alive by default, when the module implements the alive
       function  and  proxy_keep_alive  is  set   to   True.   The   polling   interval   is   set   using   the
       proxy_keep_alive_interval option which defaults to 1 minute.

       The developers are also able to use the proxy_always_alive, when designing a proxy module flexible enough
       to open the connection with the remote device only when required.

   Wildcard Versions in pkg.installed States
       • The pkg.installed state now supports wildcards in package versions, for the following platforms:

         • SUSE/openSUSE Leap/Thumbleweed

         • Debian/Ubuntu

         • RHEL/CentOS

         • Arch Linux

         This  support also extends to any derivatives of these distros, which use the aptpkg, yumpkg, or pacman
         providers for the pkg virtual module.

         Using wildcards can be useful for packages where the release name is built into  the  version  in  some
         way,  such  as for RHEL/CentOS which typically has version numbers like 1.2.34-5.el7. An example of the
         usage for this would be:

            mypkg:
              pkg.installed:
                - version: '1.2.34*'

   Master Configuration Additionssyndic_forward_all_events - Option on multi-syndic or single when connected to multiple masters  to  be
         able to send events to all connected masters.

       • eauth_acl_module  -  In  case  external  auth  is  enabled  master  can  get  authenticate  and get the
         authorization list from different auth modules.

       • keep_acl_in_token - Option that allows master to build ACL once for each user being  authenticated  and
         keep it in the token.

   Minion Configuration Additionspillarenv_from_saltenv  -  When set to True (default is False), the pillarenv option will take the same
         value as the effective saltenv when running states. This would allow a user to run salt '*' state.apply
         mysls saltenv=dev, and the SLS for both the state and  pillar  data  would  be  sourced  from  the  dev
         environment,   essentially   the   equivalent   of  running  salt  '*'  state.apply  mysls  saltenv=dev
         pillarenv=dev. Note that if pillarenv is set in the minion config file, or if pillarenv is provided  on
         the CLI, it will override this option.

   salt-api Changes
       The rest_cherrypy netapi module has received a few minor improvements:

       • A CORS bugfix.

       • A new /token convenience endpoint to generate Salt eauth tokens.

       • A  proof-of-concept  JavaScript  single-page  application  intended  to  demonstrate  how  to  use  the
         Server-Sent Events stream in an application. It is available in a default install by visiting the  /app
         URL in a browser.

   Python API Changes
   expr_form Deprecation
       The  LocalClient's  expr_form  argument has been deprecated and renamed to tgt_type. This change was made
       due to numerous reports of confusion among community members, since the targeting method is published  to
       minions as tgt_type, and appears as tgt_type in the job cache as well.

       While  expr_form will continue to be supported until the 2019.2.0 release cycle (two major releases after
       this one), those who are using the LocalClient (either directly, or implictly via a  netapi  module)  are
       encouraged to update their code to use tgt_type.

   full_return Argument in LocalClient and RunnerClient
       An  full_return  argument  has been added to the cmd and cmd_sync methods in LocalClient and RunnerClient
       which causes the return data structure to include job meta data such as retcode.

       This is useful at the Python API:

          >>> import salt.client
          >>> client = salt.client.LocalClient()
          >>> client.cmd("*", "cmd.run", ["return 1"], full_return=True)
          {'jerry': {'jid': '20170520151213898053', 'ret': '', 'retcode': 1}}

       As well as from salt-api:

          % curl -b /tmp/cookies.txt -sS http://localhost:8000 \
              -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
              -d '[{
                  "client": "local",
                  "tgt": "*",
                  "fun": "cmd.run",
                  "arg": ["return 1"],
                  "full_return": true
              }]'

          {"return": [{"jerry": {"jid": "20170520151531477653", "retcode": 1, "ret": ""}}]}

   Jinja
   Filters
       New filters in 2017.7.0:

       • to_boolexactly_n_trueexactly_one_truequoteregex_searchregex_matchuuidis_listis_iterminmaxavgunionintersectdifferencesymmetric_differenceis_sortedcompare_listscompare_dictsis_hexcontains_whitespacesubstring_in_listcheck_whitelist_blacklistdate_formatstr_to_numto_bytesjson_decode_listjson_decode_dictrand_strmd5sha256sha512base64_encodebase64_decodehmachttp_queryis_ipis_ipv4is_ipv6ipaddripv4ipv6network_hostsnetwork_sizegen_macmac_str_to_bytesdns_checkis_text_fileis_binary_fileis_empty_filefile_hashsumlist_filespath_joinwhich

   Logs
       Another new feature - although not limited to Jinja only - is being able to log debug  messages  directly
       from the template:

          {%- do salt.log.error('logging from jinja') -%}

       See the logs paragraph.

   Network Automation
   NAPALM
       Introduced  in  2016.11, the modules for cross-vendor network automation have been improved, enhanced and
       widenened in scope:

       • Manage network devices like servers: the NAPALM modules have been transformed so they can run  in  both
         proxy  and  regular minions. That means, if the operating system allows, the salt-minion package can be
         installed directly on the network gear. Examples of such devices  (also  covered  by  NAPALM)  include:
         Arista, Cumulus, Cisco IOS-XR or Cisco Nexus.

       • Not  always  alive: in certain less dynamic environments, maintaining the remote connection permanently
         open with the network device is not always beneficial. In those particular cases, the user  can  select
         to initialize the connection only when needed, by specifying the field always_alive: false in the proxy
         configuration or using the proxy_always_alive option.

       • Proxy  keepalive:  due to external factors, the connection with the remote device can be dropped, e.g.:
         packet loss, idle time (no commands issued within a couple of minutes or seconds), or simply the device
         decides to kill the process. In 2017.7.0 we have  introduced  the  functionality  to  re-establish  the
         connection.  One  can  disable  this feature through the proxy_keep_alive option and adjust the polling
         frequency specifying a custom value for proxy_keep_alive_interval, in minutes.

       New modules:

       • Netconfig state module - Manage the configuration of network devices using arbitrary templates and  the
         Salt-specific advanced templating methodologies.

       • Network ACL execution module - Generate and load ACL (firewall) configuration on network devices.

       • Network  ACL  state  - Manage the firewall configuration. It only requires writing the pillar structure
         correctly!

       • NAPALM YANG execution module - Parse, generate and load native device configuration in a standard  way,
         using the OpenConfig/IETF models. This module contains also helpers for the states.

       • NAPALM  YANG  state  module  -  Manage  the  network  device configuration according to the YANG models
         (OpenConfig or IETF).

       • NET finder - Runner to find details easily and fast. It's smart enough to know  what  you  are  looking
         for.  It  will  search  in the details of the network interfaces, IP addresses, MAC address tables, ARP
         tables and LLDP neighbors.

       • BGP finder - Runner to search BGP neighbors details.

       • NAPALM syslog - Engine to import events from the napalm-logs library  into  the  Salt  event  bus.  The
         events  are  based  on  the  syslog  messages  from  the  network  devices and structured following the
         OpenConfig/IETF YANG models.

       • NAPALM Helpers - Generic helpers for NAPALM-related operations.  For  example,  the  Compliance  report
         function can be used inside the state modules to compare the expected and the existing configuration.

       New functions:

       • Configuration getter - Return the whole configuration of the network device.

       • Optics getter - Fetches the power usage on the various transceivers installed on the network device (in
         dBm).

       New grains: Host, Host DNS, Username and Optional args.

   Custom Refspecs in GitFS / git_pillar / winrepo
       It  is  now  possible  to  specify  the refspecs to use when fetching from remote repositories for GitFS,
       git_pillar, and winrepo. More information on how this feature works  can  be  found  here  in  the  GitFS
       Walkthrough.  The  git_pillar  and  winrepo  versions  of  this  feature  work  the  same  as their GitFS
       counterpart.

   git_pillar mountpoints Feature Added
       See here for detailed documentation.

   Big Improvements to Docker Support
       The old docker state and execution modules have been moved to salt-contrib. The dockerng execution module
       has been renamed to docker and now serves as Salt's official Docker execution module.

       The old dockerng state module has been split into 4 state modules:

       • docker_container - States to manage Docker containers

       • docker_image - States to manage Docker images

       • docker_volume - States to manage Docker volumes

       • docker_network - States to manage Docker networks

       The reason for this change was to make states and requisites more clear. For example, imagine this SLS:

          myuser/appimage:
            docker.image_present:
              - sls: docker.images.appimage

          myapp:
            docker.running:
              - image: myuser/appimage
              - require:
                - docker: myuser/appimage

       The new syntax would be:

          myuser/appimage:
            docker_image.present:
              - sls: docker.images.appimage

          myapp:
            docker_container.running:
              - image: myuser/appimage
              - require:
                - docker_image: myuser/appimage

       This is similar to how Salt handles MySQL, MongoDB, Zabbix, and other  cases  where  the  same  execution
       module is used to manage several different kinds of objects (users, databases, roles, etc.).

       NOTE:
          With the Moby announcement coming at this year's DockerCon, Salt's docker execution module (as well as
          the    state   modules)   work   interchangeably   when   docker   is   replaced   with   moby   (e.g.
          moby_container.running, moby_image.present, moby.inspect_container, etc.)

       The old syntax will continue to work until the 2019.2.0 release of Salt.  The old  dockerng  naming  will
       also  continue  to  work  until  that  release, so no immediate changes need to be made to your SLS files
       (unless you were still using the old docker states that have been moved to salt-contrib).

       The docker_container.running state has undergone a significant change in how it determines whether or not
       a container needs to be replaced. Rather than  comparing  individual  arguments  to  their  corresponding
       values  in  the  named  container,  a  temporary  container is created (but not started) using the passed
       arguments. The two containers are then compared to each other to  determine  whether  or  not  there  are
       changes,  and  if  so, the old container is stopped and destroyed, and the temporary container is renamed
       and started.

       Salt still needs to translate arguments into the format which docker-py  expects,  but  if  it  does  not
       properly   do   so,   the   skip_translate  argument  can  be  used  to  skip  input  translation  on  an
       argument-by-argument basis, and you can then format your SLS file to pass the data in the format that the
       docker-py expects. This allows you to work around any changes in Docker's API or issues  with  the  input
       translation,  and  continue  to  manage  your  Docker  containers  using Salt. Read the documentation for
       skip_translate for more information.

       NOTE:
          When running the docker_container.running state for the first time after upgrading to  2017.7.0,  your
          container(s) may be replaced. The changes may show diffs for certain parameters which say that the old
          value  was  an empty string, and the new value is None. This is due to the fact that in prior releases
          Salt was passing empty strings for these values when creating the container if they were undefined  in
          the  SLS  file,  where  now  Salt simply does not pass any arguments not explicitly defined in the SLS
          file. Subsequent runs of the state should not replace  the  container  if  the  configuration  remains
          unchanged.

   New SSH Cache Roster
       The SSH cache Roster has been rewritten from scratch to increase its usefulness.  The new roster supports
       all minion matchers, so it is now possible to target minions identically through salt and salt-ssh.

       Using  the  new  roster_order  configuration  syntax  it's  now  possible  to compose a roster out of any
       combination of grains, pillar and mine data and even Salt SDB URLs.  The new release is also  fully  IPv4
       and IPv6 enabled and even has support for CIDR ranges.

   Salt-SSH Default Options
       Defaults  for  rosters  can  now  be set, so that they don't have to be set on every entry in a roster or
       specified from the commandline.

       The new option is roster_defaults and is specified in the master config file:

          roster_defaults:
            user: daniel
            sudo: True
            priv: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            tty: True

   Blacklist or Whitelist Extmod Sync
       The modules that are synced to minions can now be limited.

       The following configuration options have been added for the master:

       • extmod_whitelistextmod_blacklist

       and for the minion:

       • extmod_whitelistextmod_blacklist

   Additional Features
       • The mine.update function has a new optional argument mine_functions that can be used  to  refresh  mine
         functions  at  a  more  specific interval than scheduled using the mine_interval option.  However, this
         argument can be used by explicit schedule.  For example, if we  need  the  mines  for  net.lldp  to  be
         refreshed every 12 hours:

            schedule:
              lldp_mine_update:
                function: mine.update
                kwargs:
                  mine_functions:
                    net.lldp: []
                hours: 12

       • The  salt runner has a new function: salt.execute.  It is mainly a shortcut to facilitate the execution
         of various functions from other runners, e.g.:

            ret1 = __salt__["salt.execute"]("*", "mod.fun")

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-12791 Maliciously crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory traversals on the Salt-master

       Correct  a  flaw  in  minion  id validation which could allow certain minions to authenticate to a master
       despite not having the correct credentials. To exploit the  vulnerability,  an  attacker  must  create  a
       salt-minion  with  an  ID  containing  characters  that  will  cause  a  directory  traversal. Credit for
       discovering the security flaw goes to: Vernhk@qq.com

   Windows Changes
   pkg Execution Module`
       Significate changes (PR #43708 & #45390, damon-atkins) have been made to the pkg execution module.  Users
       should test this release against their existing package sls definition files.

       • pkg.list_available no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.

       • pkg.install  without  a  version  parameter  no  longer  upgrades  software  if the software is already
         installed.  Use pkg.install version=latest (or simply use a pkg.latest state to get the old behavior.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns Not Found when the version is not found instead  of  (value  not  set)  which
         matches the contents of the sls definitions.

       • pkg.remove  will wait up to 3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in the registry after
         removing software, improving reporting of version changes.

       • pkg.remove can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.

       • Documentation was update for the execution module to match the style in new versions, some  corrections
         as well.

       • All  install/remove  commands  are  prefix  with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is called with a command line
         string instead of a list. Some sls files in  saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng  expected  the  commands  to  be
         prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).

       • Some execution module functions results, now behave more like their Unix/Linux versions.

   cmd Execution Module
       Due  to  a difference in how Python's subprocess.Popen() spawns processes on Windows, passing the command
       as a list of arguments can result in problems.  This  is  because  Windows'  CreateProcess  requires  the
       command  to  be  passed as a single string. Therefore, subprocess will attempt to re-assemble the list of
       arguments into as string. Some escaped characters and  quotes  can  cause  the  resulting  string  to  be
       incorrectly-assembled, resulting in a failure to execute the command.

       Salt  now deals with these cases by joining the list of arguments correctly and ensuring that the command
       is passed to subprocess.Popen() as a string.

   Changes to file.blockreplace State
       The append_newline argument was added to this state. Additionally, to improve idempotence, if the  string
       represented  by  marker_end  is found in the middle of the line, the content preceding the marker will be
       removed when the block is replaced. This allows one to remove append_newline: False from the SLS and have
       the block properly replaced if the end of the content block is immediately  followed  by  the  marker_end
       (i.e. no newline before the marker).

       NOTE:
          This  will  require  changes to your SLS if your marker_end does not include the very beginning of the
          content you want to keep.

       See the file.blockreplace state documentation for further information.

   Tornado 5.0 Support for Python 2 Only
       Tornado  5.0  moves  to  using  asyncio for all python3 versions.  Because of this and changes in asyncio
       between python 3.4 and 3.5 to only be able to use one ioloop, which requires some rearchitecting, support
       for tornado 5.0 and python3 versions of salt has been delayed to a later release.

       For now, to use tornado 5.0, the python 2 version of salt must be used.

   Option to Return to Previous Pillar Include Behavior
       Prior  to  version  2017.7.3,  keys  from pillar includes would be merged on top of the pillar SLS. Since
       2017.7.3, the includes are merged together and then the pillar SLS is merged on top of that.

       The pillar_includes_override_sls option has been added allow users to switch  back  to  the  pre-2017.7.3
       behavior.

   Salt 2017.7.7 Release Notes
       Version 2017.7.7 is a bugfix release for 2017.7.0.

       The 2017.7.7 release contains only a small number of fixes, which are detailed below.

       This release fixes two critical issues.

       The first is Issue #48038, which is a critical bug that occurs in a multi-syndic setup where the same job
       is run multiple times on a minion.

       The  second  issue  is  #48130.  This  bug  appears  in  certain setups where the Master reports a Minion
       time-out, even though the job is still running on the Minion.

       Both of these issues have been fixed with this release.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2018-15751 Remote command execution and incorrect access control when using salt-api.

   New win_snmp behaviorwin_snmp.get_community_names now returns the SNMP settings actually in effect on the box.  If  settings
         are managed via GroupPolicy, those settings will be returned. Otherwise, normal settings are returned.

       • win_snmp.set_community_names now raises an error when SNMP settings are being managed by GroupPolicy.

   Option Added to Disable Docker Mine Updates
       When  a  docker  container  is  added,  removed,  started,  stopped,  etc.,  the  results  of a docker.ps
       verbose=True all=True host=True are sent to the mine, to be used by mine.get_docker.

       A new config option (docker.update_mine) has been added.  When set to False,  Salt  will  not  send  this
       information to the mine. This is useful in cases where sensitive information is stored in the container's
       environment.

   In Progress: Salt 2017.7.9 Release Notes
       Version 2017.7.9 is an unreleased bugfix release for 2017.7.0.  This release is still in progress and has
       not been released yet.

   Salt Cloud Features
   GCE Driver
       The  GCE  salt  cloud  driver  can now be used with GCE instance credentials by setting the configuration
       parameters service_account_private_key and service_account_private_email to an empty string.

   Salt 2016.11.0 Release Notes - Codename Carbon
   New Features
   Docker Introspection and Configuration
       Major additions have been made to the Docker support in 2016.11.0. The new addition  allows  Salt  to  be
       executed  within  a  Docker container without a minion running or installed in the container. This allows
       states to be run inside a container, but also all of Salt's remote execution commands to  be  run  inside
       docker  containers  as  well. This makes container introspection simple and powerful. See the tutorial on
       using this new feature here:

       See Salt in Docker Containers.

   Advanced Ceph Control
       Our friends over at SUSE have delivered a powerful new tool  to  make  the  deployment  of  Ceph  storage
       systems  using Salt very easy. These new Ceph tools allow for a storage system to be easily defined using
       the new ceph.quorum state.

   Thorium Additions and Improvements
       The Thorium advanced reactor has undergone extensive testing and updates.   These  updates  include  many
       more Thorium states, a system for automating key management, the ability to use Thorium to easily replace
       old reactors and a great deal of stability and bug fixes.

   State Rollback Using Snapper
       Rollback  has  been  one  of  the most prevalent requests for Salt. We have researched it extensively and
       concluded that the only way to accomplish  truly  reliable  rollback  would  be  to  execute  it  at  the
       filesystem layer. To accomplish this we have introduced Snapper integration into Salt States.

       Snapper  is  a tool which allows for simple and reliable snapshots of the filesystem to be made. With the
       new snapper_states option set to True in the minion config a snapshot will be made before and after every
       Salt State run.

       These snapshots can be viewed, managed and rolled back to via the snapper execution module.

   Preserve File Perms in File States
       This feature has been requested for years, the ability to set a flag and use the  same  file  permissions
       for  files  deployed to a minion as the permissions set to the file on the master. Just set the keep_mode
       option on any file management state to True.

   Ponies!
       We all agreed that cowsay was just not good  enough,  install  the  ponysay  command  and  the  new  pony
       outputter will work. Fun for the whole family!

   Additional Features
       • Minions  can  run in stand-alone mode to use beacons and engines without having to connect to a master.
         (Thanks @adelcast!)

       • Added a salt runner to allow running salt modules via salt-run.

                salt-run salt.cmd test.ping
                # call functions with arguments and keyword arguments
                salt-run salt.cmd test.arg 1 2 3 a=1

       • Added SSL support to Cassandra CQL returner.  SSL  can  be  enabled  by  setting  ssl_options  for  the
         returner.  Also added support for specifying protocol_version when establishing cluster connection.

       • The  mode  parameter  in the file.managed state, and the file_mode parameter in the file.recurse state,
         can both now be set to keep and the minion will keep the mode of the file  from  the  Salt  fileserver.
         This  works  only  with  files  coming from sources prefixed with salt://, or files local to the minion
         (i.e. those which are absolute paths, or are prefixed with file://). For example:

            /etc/myapp/myapp.conf:
              file.managed:
                - source: salt://conf/myapp/myapp.conf
                - mode: keep

            /var/www/myapp:
              file.recurse:
                - source: salt://path/to/myapp
                - dir_mode: 755
                - file_mode: keep

       • The junos state module is now available. It has all  the  functions  that  are  present  in  the  junos
         execution module.

       • The  junos  state  module  is  now  available.  It  has all the functions that are present in the junos
         execution module.

       • The minion data cache is a pluggable data store now. It's configurable with cache  option.  Default  is
         localfs.

       • User names in client_acl support glob matching now.

   New Top File Merging Strategy for States
       A  new  strategy  called  merge_all  has been added to provide a new way of merging top file matches when
       executing a highstate.  See the top_file_merging_strategy documentation for further information.

       In addition, the same merging strategy was not functioning as documented.  This has now  been  corrected.
       While  this  is  technically  a  bugfix,  we decided to hold a change in top file merging until a feature
       release to minimize user impact.

   Improved Archive Extraction Support
       The archive.extracted state has been overhauled. Notable changes include the following:

       • When enforcing ownership (with the user and/or group arguments), the if_missing argument no longer  has
         any  connection  to  which path(s) have ownership enforced. Instead, the paths are determined using the
         either the newly-added archive.list function, or the newly-added enforce_ownership_on argument.

       • if_missing also is no longer required to skip extraction, as Salt is now able to tell which paths would
         be present if the archive were extracted. It should, in most cases, only be necessary in cases where  a
         semaphore file is used to conditionally skip extraction of the archive.

       • Password-protected  ZIP  archives  are  now  detected  before  extraction,  and the state fails without
         attempting to extract the archive if no password was specified.

       • By default, a single top-level directory is enforced, to guard against  'tar-bombs'.  This  enforcement
         can be disabled by setting enforce_toplevel to False.

       • The tar_options and zip_options arguments have been deprecated in favor of a single options argument.

       • The archive_format argument is now optional. The ending of the source argument is used to guess whether
         it  is  a  tar,  zip  or  rar  file.  If  the archive_format cannot be guessed, then it will need to be
         specified, but in many cases it can now be omitted.

       • Ownership enforcement is now performed irrespective  of  whether  or  not  the  archive  needed  to  be
         extracted. This means that the state can be re-run after the archive has been fully extracted to repair
         changes to ownership.

       A  number  of  new  arguments  were also added. See the docs py:func:docs for the archive.extracted state
       <salt.states.archive.extracted> for more information.

       Additionally, the following changes have been made to the archive execution module:

       • A new function (archive.list) has been added. This function lists the files/directories in  an  archive
         file,  and  supports  a verbose argument that gives a more detailed breakdown of which paths are files,
         which are directories, and which paths are at the top level of the archive.

       • A new function (archive.is_encrypted) has been added. This function will return True if the archive  is
         a password-protected ZIP file, False if not. If the archive is not a ZIP file, an error will be raised.

       • archive.cmd_unzip  now  supports  passing a password, bringing it to feature parity with archive.unzip.
         Note that this is still not considered to be secure, and archive.unzip is recommended for dealing  with
         password-protected ZIP archives.

       • The default value for the extract_perms argument to archive.unzip has been changed to True.

   Improved Checksum Handling in file.managed, archive.extracted States
       When  the source_hash argument for these states refers to a file containing checksums, Salt now looks for
       checksums matching the name of the source URI, as well as the file being  managed.  Prior  releases  only
       looked for checksums matching the filename being managed. Additionally, a new argument (source_hash_name)
       has  been  added,  which  allows  the  user to disambiguate ambiguous matches when more than one matching
       checksum is found in the source_hash file.

       A more detailed explanation of this functionality can be found in the file.managed documentation, in  the
       section for the new source_hash_name argument.

       NOTE:
          This  improved  functionality is also available in the 2016.3 (Boron) release cycle, starting with the
          2016.3.5 release.

   Config Changes
       The following default config values were changed:

       • gitfs_ssl_verify: Changed from False to Truegit_pillar_ssl_verify: Changed from False to Truewinrepo_ssl_verify: Changed from False to True

   Grains Changes
       • All core grains containing VMWare have been changed to VMware, which is  the  official  capitalization.
         Additionally,  all  references to VMWare in the documentation have been changed to VMware issue #30807.
         Environments using versions of Salt before and after  Salt  2016.11.0  should  employ  case-insensitive
         grain matching on these grains.

            {% set on_vmware = grains['virtual'].lower() == 'vmware' %}

       • On  Windows  the  cpu_model grain has been changed to provide the actual cpu model name and not the cpu
         family.

         Old behavior:

            root@master:~# salt 'testwin200' grains.item cpu_model
            testwin200:
                ----------
                cpu_model:
                    Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9, GenuineIntel

         New behavior:

            root@master:~# salt 'testwin200' grains.item cpu_model
            testwin200:
                ----------
                cpu_model:
                    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz

   Beacons Changes
       • The loadavg beacon now outputs averages as integers instead of strings.  (Via issue #31124.)

   Runner Changes
       • Runners can now call out to utility modules via __utils__.

       • ref:Utility modules <writing-utility-modules> (placed in salt://_utils/) are now able to be  synced  to
         the  master,  making  it  easier to use them in custom runners. A saltutil.sync_utils function has been
         added to the saltutil runner to facilitate the syncing of utility modules to the master.

   Pillar Changes
       • Thanks  to  the  new  saltutil.sync_utils  runner,  it  is  now  easier  to  get  ref:utility   modules
         <writing-utility-modules>  synced  to  the correct location on the Master so that they are available in
         execution modules called from Pillar SLS files.

   Junos Module Changes
       • The following new functionalities were added to the junos module

         • facts - Displays the facts gathered during the connection.

         • shutdown - Shut down or reboot a device running Junos OS.

         • install_config - Modify the configuration of a Junos device.

         • install_os - Install Junos OS software package.

         • zeroize - Remove all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all key values  on  a
           device.

         • file_copy - Copy file from proxy to the Junos device.

   Network Automation: NAPALM
       Beginning with 2016.11.0, network automation is included by default in the core of Salt. It is based on a
       the  NAPALM  library  and  provides facilities to manage the configuration and retrieve data from network
       devices running widely used operating systems such: JunOS, IOS-XR, eOS, IOS, NX-OS etc.

       • see the complete list of supported devices.

       The connection is established via the NAPALM proxy.

       In the current release, the following modules were included:

       • NAPALM grains - Select network devices based on their characteristics

       • NET execution module - Networking basic features

       • NTP execution moduleBGP execution moduleRoutes execution moduleSNMP execution moduleUsers execution moduleProbes execution moduleNTP peers management stateSNMP configuration management stateUsers management state

   Cisco NXOS Proxy Minion
       Beginning with 2016.11.0, there is a proxy minion that can be used to configure nxos cisco  devices  over
       ssh.

       • Proxy MinionExecution ModuleState Module

   Cisco Network Services Orchestrator Proxy Minion
       Beginning  with  2016.11.0,  there  is a proxy minion to use the Cisco Network Services Orchestrator as a
       proxy minion.

       • Proxy MinionExecution ModuleState Module

   Junos Module Changes
       • The following new functionalities were added to the junos module

         • facts - Displays the facts gathered during the connection.

         • shutdown - Shut down or reboot a device running Junos OS.

         • install_config - Modify the configuration of a Junos device.

         • install_os - Install Junos OS software package.

         • zeroize - Remove all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all key values  on  a
           device.

         • file_copy - Copy file from proxy to the Junos device.

   Returner Changes
       • Any  returner  which  implements  a  save_load  function  is  now  required to accept a minions keyword
         argument. All returners which ship with Salt have been modified to do so.

   Renderer Changes
       Added the ability to restrict allowed  renderers.  Two  new  config  parameters,  renderer_whitelist  and
       renderer_blacklist are introduced for this purpose.

   eAuth Changes
       • External  auth modules' auth method can return an ACL list for the given username instead of True. This
         list should be in the same format as described in the eAuth documentation. It will be used for the user
         instead of one set in master config.

         Example of the auth method return that allows a user to execute  functions  in  the  test  and  network
         modules on the minions that match the web* target and allow access to wheel and runner modules:

            [{"web*": ["test.*", "network.*"]}, "@wheel", "@runner"]

       • External  auth  is supported by salt-run and salt-key now. Note that master must be started to use them
         with eAuth.

   External Module Packaging
       Modules may now be packaged via entry-points in setuptools. See external module  packaging  tutorial  for
       more information.

   Functionality Changes
       • The onfail requisite now uses OR logic instead of AND logic.  issue #22370

       • The consul external pillar now strips leading and trailing whitespace.  issue #31165

       • The  win_system.py state is now case sensitive for computer names. Previously computer names set with a
         state were converted to all caps. If you have a state setting computer names with lower case letters in
         the name that has been applied, the computer name will be changed again to  apply  the  case  sensitive
         name.

       • The  mac_user.list_groups  function  in  the  mac_user  execution  module  now lists all groups for the
         specified user, including groups beginning with an underscore. In previous releases,  groups  beginning
         with an underscore were excluded from the list of groups.

       • The  junos.call_rpc  function  in  the  junos  execution  module can now be used to call any valid rpc.
         Earlier it used to call only "get_software_information".

       • A new option for minions called master_tries has been added. This  specifies  the  number  of  times  a
         minion  should  attempt  to  contact  a master to attempt a connection.  This allows better handling of
         occasional master downtime in a multi-master topology.

       • The default hash_type is now sha256 instead of md5. You will need to make sure  both  your  master  and
         minion share the same hash_type.

       • Nodegroups consisting of a simple list of minion IDs can now also be declared as a yaml list. The below
         two examples are equivalent:

            # Traditional way
            nodegroups:
              - group1: L@host1,host2,host3

            # New way (optional)
            nodegroups:
              - group1:
                - host1
                - host2
                - host3

   New Azure ARM Cloud Driver
       A  new cloud driver has been added for Azure ARM, aka, the Azure Resource Manager. The older Azure driver
       is still required to work with the older Azure API. This new driver works with the newer ARM  API,  which
       is managed via the newer Azure Portal website.

   Deprecations
   General Deprecationsenv to saltenv

         All  occurrences  of  env and some occurrences of __env__ marked for deprecation in Salt 2016.11.0 have
         been removed.  The new way to use the salt environment setting is with a variable called saltenv:

            def fcn(msg="", env="base", refresh=True, saltenv="base", **kwargs):
                ...

         has been changed to

            def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base", **kwargs):
                ...

         • If env (or __env__) is supplied as a keyword argument to  a  function  that  also  accepts  arbitrary
           keyword  arguments,  then  a  new warning informs the user that env is no longer used if it is found.
           This new warning will be removed in Salt 2017.7.0.

              def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base", **kwargs):
                  ...

              # will result in a warning log message
              fcn(msg="add more salt", env="prod", refresh=False)

         • If env (or __env__) is supplied as a keyword argument to a function that does  not  accept  arbitrary
           keyword arguments, then python will issue an error.

              def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base"):
                  ...

              # will result in a python TypeError
              fcn(msg="add more salt", env="prod", refresh=False)

         • If  env (or __env__) is supplied as a positional argument to a function, then undefined behavior will
           occur, as the removal of env and __env__ from the function's argument  list  changes  the  function's
           signature.

              def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base"):
                  ...

              # will result in refresh evaluating to True and saltenv likely not being a string at all
              fcn("add more salt", "prod", False)

       • Deprecations in minion.py:

         • The    salt.minion.parse_args_and_kwargs    function    has    been    removed.    Please   use   the
           salt.minion.load_args_and_kwargs function instead.

   Cloud Deprecations
       • The vsphere cloud driver has been removed. Please use the vmware cloud driver instead.

       • The private_ip option in the  linode  cloud  driver  is  deprecated  and  has  been  removed.  Use  the
         assign_private_ip option instead.

       • The  create_dns_record  and  delete_dns_record  functions are deprecated and have been removed from the
         digital_ocean driver. Use the post_dns_record function instead.

   Execution Module Deprecations
       • The blockdev execution module had four functions removed:

         • dump

         • tune

         • resize2fs

         • wipe

         The disk module should be used instead with the same function names.

       • The boto_vpc execution module had two functions removed, boto_vpc.associate_new_dhcp_options_to_vpc and
         boto_vpc.associate_new_network_acl_to_subnet   in   favor   of    more    concise    function    names,
         boto_vpc.create_dhcp_options and boto_vpc.create_network_acl, respectively.

       • The data execution module had getval and getvals functions removed in favor of one function, get, which
         combines the functionality of the removed functions.

       • File module deprecations:

         • The contains_regex_multiline function was removed. Use file.search instead.

         • Additional  command  line  options  for file.grep should be passed one at a time.  Please do not pass
           more than one in a single argument.

       • The lxc execution module has the following changes:

         • The run_cmd function was removed. Use lxc.run instead.

         • The nic argument was removed from the lxc.init function. Use network_profile instead.

         • The clone argument was removed from the lxc.init function. Use clone_from instead.

         • passwords  passed   to   the   lxc.init   function   will   be   assumed   to   be   hashed,   unless
           password_encrypted=False.

         • The restart argument for lxc.start was removed. Use lxc.restart instead.

         • The  old  style of defining lxc containers has been removed. Please use keys under which LXC profiles
           should be configured such as lxc.container_profile.profile_name.

       • The env and activate keyword arguments have been removed from the install function in the pip execution
         module. The use of bin_env replaces both of these options.

       • reg execution module

         Functions in the reg execution module had misleading and confusing names for dealing with  the  Windows
         registry.  They  failed  to  clearly differentiate between hives, keys, and name/value pairs. Keys were
         treated like value names.  There was no way to delete a key.

         New functions were added in 2015.5 to properly work with the registry. They also made  it  possible  to
         edit  key  default  values  as well as delete an entire key tree recursively. With the new functions in
         place, the following functions have been deprecated:

         • read_key

         • set_key

         • create_key

         • delete_key

         Use the following functions instead:

         • for read_key use read_value

         • for set_key use set_value

         • for create_key use set_value with no vname and no vdata

         • for delete_key use delete_key_recursive. To delete a value, use delete_value.

       • The hash_hostname option was removed from the salt.modules.ssh execution module.  The  hash_known_hosts
         option should be used instead.

       • The  human_readable  option  was  removed  from the uptime function in the status execution module. The
         function was also updated in 2015.8.9 to  return  a  more  complete  offering  of  uptime  information,
         formatted as an easy-to-read dictionary. This updated function replaces the need for the human_readable
         option.

       • The persist kwarg was removed from the win_useradd execution module. This option is no longer supported
         for Windows. persist is only supported as part of user management in UNIX/Linux.

       • The zpool_list function in the zpool execution module was removed. Use list instead.

   Outputter Module Deprecations
       • The compact outputter has been removed. Set state_verbose to False instead.

   Runner Module Deprecations
       • The grains.cache runner no longer accepts outputter or minion as keyword arguments.  Users will need to
         specify an outputter using the --out option. tgt is replacing the minion kwarg.

       • The  fileserver  runner no longer accepts the outputter keyword argument. Users will need to specify an
         outputter using the --out option.

       • The jobs runner no longer accepts the outputter  keyword  argument.  Users  will  need  to  specify  an
         outputter using the --out option.

       • virt runner module:

         • The hyper kwarg was removed from the init, list, and query functions.  Use the host option instead.

         • The next_hyper function was removed. Use the next_host function instead.

         • The hyper_info function was removed. Use the host_info function instead.

   State Module Deprecations
       • The  env  and  activate  keyword  arguments  were  removed from the installed function in the pip state
         module. The use of bin_env replaces both of these options.

       • reg state module

         The reg state module was modified to work with the new functions in the execution  module.  Some  logic
         was  left  in the reg.present and the reg.absent functions to handle existing state files that used the
         final key in the name as the value name. That logic has been removed so you now must specify value name
         (vname) and, if needed, value data (vdata).

         For example, a state file that adds the version  value/data  pair  to  the  Software\Salt  key  in  the
         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive used to look like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt\\version:
              reg.present:
                - value: 2016.3.1

         Now it should look like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt
              reg.present:
                - vname: version
                - vdata: 2016.3.1

         A state file for removing the same value added above would have looked like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt\\version:
              reg.absent:

         Now it should look like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt
              reg.absent:
                - vname: version

         This  new  structure  is  important  as  it  allows  salt to deal with key default values which was not
         possible before. If vname is not passed, salt will work with the default value for that hivekey.

         Additionally, since you could only delete a value from a the state module, a new function  (key_absent)
         has  been added to allow you to delete a registry key and all subkeys and name/value pairs recursively.
         It uses the new delete_key_recursive function.

         For additional information see the documentation for the reg execution and state modules.

       • lxc state module: The following functions were removed from the lxc state module:

         • created: replaced by the present state.

         • started: replaced by the running state.

         • cloned: replaced by the present state. Use the clone_from argument to  set  the  name  of  the  clone
           source.

       • The  hash_hostname  option was removed from the salt.states.ssh_known_hosts state. The hash_known_hosts
         option should be used instead.

       • The always kwarg used in the built function of  the  pkgbuild  state  module  was  removed.  Use  force
         instead.

   Utils Module Deprecations
       • The  use  of  jid_dir  and  jid_load  were  removed  from the salt.utils.jid. jid_dir functionality for
         job_cache management was moved to the local_cache returner. jid_load data is  now  retrieved  from  the
         master_job_cache.

       • ip_in_subnet function in salt.utils.network.py has been removed. Use the in_subnet function instead.

       • The    iam    utils    module    had   two   functions   removed:   salt.utils.iam.get_iam_region   and
         salt.utils.iam.get_iam_metadata      in      favor      of      the      aws      utils       functions
         salt.utils.aws.get_region_from_metadata and salt.utils.aws.creds, respectively.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2017-5192 local_batch client external authentication not respected

       The LocalClient.cmd_batch() method client does not accept external_auth credentials and so access  to  it
       from   salt-api   has   been   removed   for   now.   This   vulnerability   allows  code  execution  for
       already-authenticated users and is only in effect when running salt-api as the root user.

       CVE-2017-5200 Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client

       Users of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole  when  both  systems
       were enabled.

       We recommend everyone upgrade to 2016.11.2 as soon as possible.

   AIX Support Expanded
       AIX support has been added for the following execution modules:

       • usergroupnetworkstatustimezone

       Additionally, AIX is now supported in the disk.iostat remote-execution function, and the status beacon is
       now supported.

   Minion Data Cache Enhancement
       Memcache is now supported as a data store for the minion data cache.

       Memcache is an additional cache layer that keeps a limited amount of data fetched from  the  minion  data
       cache  for  a  limited  period of time in memory that makes cache operations faster. It doesn't make much
       sense for the localfs cache driver but helps for more complex drivers like consul.

       For more details see memcache_expire_seconds and other memcache_* options in the master config reverence.

   Docker Fixes
       • Docker authentication has been re-organized. Instead of attempting a login for  each  push/pull  (which
         was  unnecessary),  a  new  function  called  dockerng.login has been added, which authenticates to the
         registry and adds the credential token to the ~/.docker/config.json. After upgrading, if you  have  not
         already  performed  a  docker  login  on  the  minion  using  the  docker  CLI,  you  will  need to run
         dockerng.login to login. This only needs to be done once.

       • A bug in resolving the tag name for images in a custom registry (where a colon can appear in the  image
         name, e.g.  myregistry.com:5000/image:tagname) has been fixed. In previous releases, Salt would use the
         colon  to separate the tag name from the image name, and if there was no colon, the default tag name of
         latest would be assumed.  However, this caused custom registry  images  to  be  misidentified  when  no
         explicit tag name was passed (e.g. myregistry.com:5000/image). To work around this in earlier releases,
         simply specify the tag name.

   Salt-Cloud Fixes
       2016.11.0  added support for templating userdata files for the ec2 driver, using the renderer option from
       the master config file. However, as the default renderer first evaluates jinja  templating,  followed  by
       loading  the  data  as  a  YAML dictionary, this results in unpredictable results when userdata files are
       comprised of non-YAML data (which they generally are).

       2016.11.4 fixes this by only templating the userdata_file when it is explicitly configured to do so. This
       is done by adding a new optional parameter to the cloud profile called userdata_template. This option  is
       used  in  the  same  way as the template argument in file.managed states, it is simply set to the desired
       templating renderer:

          my-ec2-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file
            userdata_template: jinja

       If no userdata_template  option is set in the cloud profile, then salt-cloud will check for the  presence
       of the master configuration parameter userdata_renderer. If this is also not set, then no templating will
       be performed on the userdata_file.

       In  addition,  the  other  cloud  drivers  which  support  setting  a  userdata_file (azurearm, nova, and
       openstack) have had templating support added to bring them  to  feature  parity  with  the  ec2  driver's
       implementation of the userdata_file option.

   Patched Packages
       Due  to the critical nature of issue issue #41230 we have decided to patch the 2016.11.5 packages with PR
       #41244. This issue affects all calls to a salt-minion if there is an ipv6 nameserver set on the  minion's
       host.  The  patched  packages on repo.saltstack.com will divert from the v2016.11.5 tag and pypi packages
       due to the patches applied to the packages.

         • 66a136e6d8 Fixing issues raised in #41540 when a zip file is created on a Windows system.  The  issue
           has  two  parts,  first directories that end up in the archive end up in the results of aarchive.list
           twice as they show up as both files and directories because of the logic  to  handle  the  fact  that
           Windows doesn't mark them as directories. This issue shows up when an extraction is run a second time
           since  the  module  verified  the  file types and the subdirectory is not a file. The second issue is
           related to permissions, if Salt is told to extract  permissions  (which  is  the  default)  then  the
           directory and files end up being unreadable since the permissions are not available. This change sets
           the permissions to what the default umask for the user running Salt is.

   Salt 2016.11.7 Release Notes
       Version 2016.11.7 is a bugfix release for 2016.11.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-12791 Maliciously crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory traversals on the Salt-master

       This release corrects a flaw in minion ID validation which could allow certain minions to authenticate to
       a  master  despite  not  having  the correct credentials.  To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must
       create a salt-minion with an ID containing characters that will cause a directory traversal.  Credit  for
       discovering the security flaw goes to: Vernhk@qq.com

   Salt 2016.11.8 Release Notes
       Version 2016.11.8 is a bugfix release for 2016.11.0.

           statement in config only last is used. Also file is rewrote multiple times until  last  statement  is
           written.  Example:  salt  '*' apache.config /etc/httpd/conf.d/ports.conf config="[{'Listen': '8080'},
           {'Proxy': "Something"}]" Ends only with    Proxy Something and ignore Listen  8080,  This  patch  fix
           this issue.

   Windows Changes
   pkg Execution Module`
       Significate changes (PR #43708 & #45390, damon-atkins) have been made to the pkg execution module.  Users
       should test this release against their existing package sls definition files.

       • pkg.list_available no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.

       • pkg.install  without  a  version  parameter  no  longer  upgrades  software  if the software is already
         installed.  Use pkg.install version=latest (or simply use a pkg.latest state to get the old behavior.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns Not Found when the version is not found instead  of  (value  not  set)  which
         matches the contents of the sls definitions.

       • pkg.remove  will wait up to 3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in the registry after
         removing software, improving reporting of version changes.

       • pkg.remove can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.

       • Documentation was update for the execution module to match the style in new versions, some  corrections
         as well.

       • All  install/remove  commands  are  prefix  with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is called with a command line
         string instead of a list. Some sls files in  saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng  expected  the  commands  to  be
         prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).

       • Some execution module functions results, now behave more like their Unix/Linux versions.

   cmd Execution Module
       Due  to  a difference in how Python's subprocess.Popen() spawns processes on Windows, passing the command
       as a list of arguments can result in problems.  This  is  because  Windows'  CreateProcess  requires  the
       command  to  be  passed as a single string. Therefore, subprocess will attempt to re-assemble the list of
       arguments into as string. Some escaped characters and  quotes  can  cause  the  resulting  string  to  be
       incorrectly-assembled, resulting in a failure to execute the command.

       Salt  now deals with these cases by joining the list of arguments correctly and ensuring that the command
       is passed to subprocess.Popen() as a string.

   Salt 2016.3.0 Release Notes - Codename Boron
   Known Issues
       WARNING:
          Some Salt Masters may need to apply a patch for Default Job Cache to prevent a possible crash

          An issue exists that prevents the Salt master from cleaning the default  job  cache.  This  issue  can
          cause  an  overconsumption  of  resources resulting in a crash. 2016.3.0 Salt masters should apply the
          patch in PR #33555. This issue will be addressed in 2016.3.1.

       • issue #33516: When upgrading  from  2015.8.10  to  2016.3.0  on  centos7/redhat7  salt-minion  must  be
         restarted twice.

       • issue #33517: SPM does not work on amazon linux 2015 in 2016.3.0.

   Backwards-incompatible Changes
       • The  default  path  for  the  extension_modules  master  config option has been changed.  Prior to this
         release, the location was a directory named extmods in the Salt cachedir. On most platforms, this would
         put the extension_modules directory in /var/cache/salt/extmods.  It has been moved one directory  down,
         into  the  master cachedir. On most platforms, this is /var/cache/salt/master/extmods. Most users won't
         have  to  worry  about  this,  but  those  who  have  been  manually  placing   custom   runners   into
         /var/cache/salt/extmods/runners,  or  outputters  into  /var/cache/salt/extmods/output,  etc.  will  be
         affected by this. To transition, it is recommended not  to  simply  move  the  extmods  directory  into
         /var/cache/salt/master,  but to copy the custom modules into the salt fileserver under salt://_runners,
         salt://_output, etc. and sync them using the functions in the new saltutil runner.

       • The pkg.check_db function has been removed for yum/dnf.

   Core Changes
       • The onchanges requisite now fires if any watched state changes. issue #19592.

       • The ext_pillar functions must now accept a minion ID as the first argument. This stops the  deprecation
         path  started  in Salt 0.17.x. Before this minion ID first argument was introduced, the minion ID could
         be retrieved accessing __opts__['id'] losing the reference to the master ID initially set in opts. This
         is no longer the case, __opts__['id'] will be kept as the master ID.

       • Custom types can now be synced to the master using the new saltutil runner.  Before,  these  needed  to
         manually  be  placed  under  the  extension_modules  directory. This allows custom modules to easily be
         synced to the master to make them available when compiling Pillar data. Just place custom runners  into
         salt://_runners,  custom  outputters  into salt://_output, etc. and use the functions from the saltutil
         runner to sync them.

       • The client_acl configuration options were renamed to publisher_acl.

       • Added a new --config-dump option (issue #26639).

       • TCP Transport presence events were updated to work with a NAT (PR #30629).

       • A minion_pillar_cache setting was added to save rendered pillar data to cachedir  for  later  use  when
         file_client is set to local (PR #30428).

       • Added  the  ability  for  binary  data  (such  as a license key) to be distributed via pillar using the
         file.managed (issue #9569).

       • Scheduled jobs now include success and retcode (issue #24237).

       • The saltversioninfo grain was changed from a string to a list to enable reading values  by  index.  (PR
         #30082).

       • A  pillar_merge_lists  option  was added to enable recursively merging pillar lists by aggregating them
         instead of replacing them (PR #30062).

       • Grain values reported by Debian 8 (jessie) when lsb-release is installed were updated  for  consistency
         (PR #28649).

       • A  new  option  for  minions  called  master_tries has been added. This specifies the number of times a
         minion should attempt to contact a master to attempt a  connection.  This  allows  better  handling  of
         occasional master downtime in a multi-master topology.

       • The  default directory for deploying the salt-thin tarball has changed for salt-ssh. It is now /var/tmp
         instead of /tmp. Users may also wish to delete any directories  in  /tmp  ending  with  _salt/.  (issue
         #32771)

   External Module Packaging
       Modules  may  now  be packaged via entry-points in setuptools. See external module packaging tutorial for
       more information.

   Cloud Changes
       • Refactored the OpenNebula driver and added numerous --function and --action commands  to  enhance  Salt
         support  for  image,  template,  security  group,  virtual  network  and  virtual machine management in
         OpenNebula.

       • Added execution/state modules to support the deployment of AWS cognito identity pools (PR #31094).

       • Added ability to set tags and listener policies on a AWS ELB (PR #27552).

   Platform Changes
       • Renamed modules related to macOS. The following  module  filenames  were  changed.   The  virtual  name
         remained unchanged.

       • PR ##30558: renamed osxdesktop.py to mac_desktop.py

       • PR ##30557: renamed macports.py to mac_ports.py

       • PR ##30556: renamed darwin_sysctl.py to mac_sysctl.py

       • PR ##30555: renamed brew.py to mac_brew.py

       • PR ##30552: renamed darwin_pkgutil.py to mac_pkgutil.py

   Package Support
       • Ubuntu  Xenial:  Packages  for  Ubuntu  Xenial  (16.04)  are  available  for  2016.3.0 and onwards. See
         repo.saltstack.com for more information. Note that Xenial comes with Debian's packaged version of  Salt
         2015.8.8 and official repo.saltstack.com packages are available for 2015.8 releases beginning with Salt
         2015.8.11.

   Proxy Minion Changes
       The deprecated config option enumerate_proxy_minions has been removed.

       As  mentioned  in  earlier  documentation, the add_proxymodule_to_opts configuration variable defaults to
       False  in  this  release.   This  means  if  you   have   proxymodules   or   other   code   looking   in
       __opts__['proxymodule']  you  will need to set this variable in your /etc/salt/proxy file, or modify your
       code to use the __proxy__ injected variable.

       The __proxyenabled__ directive now only  applies  to  grains  and  proxy  modules  themselves.   Standard
       execution modules and state modules are not prevented from loading for proxy minions.

       Support  has  been  added  to  Salt's  loader allowing custom proxymodules to be placed in salt://_proxy.
       Proxy minions that need these modules will need to be restarted to pick up any changes.  A  corresponding
       utility function, saltutil.sync_proxymodules, has been added to sync these modules to minions.

       Enhancements  in grains processing have made the __proxyenabled__ directive somewhat redundant in dynamic
       grains code.  It is still required, but best practices for the __virtual__ function in grains files  have
       changed.   It  is now recommended that the __virtual__ functions check to make sure they are being loaded
       for the correct proxytype, example below:

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Only work on proxy
              """
              try:
                  if salt.utils.is_proxy() and __opts__["proxy"]["proxytype"] == "ssh_sample":
                      return __virtualname__
              except KeyError:
                  pass

              return False

       NOTE:
          salt.utils.is_proxy() has been renamed to salt.utils.platform.is_proxy as of the Oxygen release.

       The try/except block above exists because grains are processed very early in  the  proxy  minion  startup
       process, sometimes earlier than the proxy key in the __opts__ dictionary is populated.

       Grains  are  loaded  so early in startup that no dunder dictionaries are present, so __proxy__, __salt__,
       etc. are not available.  Custom grains located in  /srv/salt/_grains  and  in  the  salt  install  grains
       directory  can  now take a single argument, proxy, that is identical to __proxy__.  This enables patterns
       like

          def get_ip(proxy):
              """
              Ask the remote device what IP it has
              """
              return {"ip": proxy["proxymodulename.get_ip"]()}

       Then the grain ip will contain the result of calling the get_ip()  function  in  the  proxymodule  called
       proxymodulename.

       Proxy  modules  now  benefit from including a function called initialized().  This function should return
       True if the proxy's init() function has  been  successfully  called.   This  is  needed  to  make  grains
       processing easier.

       Finally,  if  there  is  a function called grains in the proxymodule, it will be executed on proxy-minion
       startup and its contents will be merged with the rest of the proxy's grains.  Since  older  proxy-minions
       might have used other methods to call such a function and add its results to grains, this is config-gated
       by  a new proxy configuration option called proxy_merge_grains_in_module.  This defaults to False in this
       release.  It will default to True in the release after next.  The next release is codenamed  Carbon,  the
       following is Nitrogen.

       The example proxy minions rest_sample and ssh_sample have been updated to reflect these changes.

   Syndic Updates
       A  major  performance  and management issue was found and fixed in the syndic. This makes the Salt Syndic
       substantially more reliable and performant. Please make sure that the syndic and the  master  of  masters
       which  syndics attach to are updated, otherwise the syndic fixes alone can cause minor performance issues
       with older master of masters.  Please update masters first, then syndics.  Minions  do  not  need  to  be
       updated for this fix to work.

   Module Changesfile execution module: show_diff is deprecated in favor of show_changes. (PR #30988)

       • reg execution module:

         • Removed the following deprecated functions from the reg module (PR #30956):

           • read_key

           • set_key

           • create_key

           • delete_key

         • Removed force parameter from reg state module

         • Fixed virtual function in state

         • Improved error information for reg.delete_value function

       • jboss7   execution   module:   deployed   function   was   decoupled   from   Artifactory  by  removing
         Artifactory-specific functionality.  Note that the changes in some  of  the  function  arguments  break
         existing state files, see issue #30515 and PR #3080 for details.

       • pkg  state  module:  The  wait  function was removed, the functionality was replaced with the onchanges
         requisite (PR #30297).

       • firewalld state module: A permanent argument was added add_port. Note that permanent defaults to  True,
         which  changes  previous behavior (PR #30275). A bind function was also added that allows binding zones
         to interfaces and sources (PR #29497).

       • journald beacon module: The event string was updated to include a tag. Note this might impact  existing
         reactors based on this beacon.  (PR #30116).

       • postgres_privileges  state  module:  The default value of the prepend argument was changed from None to
         public.

       • zenoss execution module: The add_device  function  was  updated  with  a  default  value  of  1000  for
         prod_state to match the documentation (PR #28924).

       • The  etcd  execution  module, state module, returner module, and util module were refactor (PR #28599).
         This refactor changes error returns for several functions (primarily edge cases):

         • get: Used to return '' on key-not-found. Now returns None.

         • set: Used to return '' on issues setting keys. Now returns None.

         • ls: Used to return {path: {}} on key-not-found. Now returns None.

         • Tree: Used to return {} on key-not-found. Now returns None.

       • smartos_virt execution module: Updated to use most of the new smartos_vmadm (PR #28284).

       • apache_conf state module, apache_module state module, and apache_site  state  module:  the  enable  and
         disable  functions  were  renamed to enabled and disabled, respectively.  In PR #33562, these functions
         were readded and properly deprecated and will be removed in Salt 2017.7.0.  This fix will be  available
         in 2016.3.1.  As a workaround, try

            apache_module.enable{{ 'd' if grains.saltversioninfo == [2016, 3, 0] else '' }}

   New Features
   Thorium - Provisional New Reactor
       The  2016.3  release introduces the new Thorium Reactor. This reactor is an experimental new feature that
       implements a flow programming interface using the salt state system as the engine. This  means  that  the
       Thorium reactor uses a classic state tree approach to create a reactor that can aggregate event data from
       multiple sources and make aggregate decisions about executing reactions.

       This feature is both experimental and provisional, it may be removed and APIs may be changed. This system
       should  be  considered  as  ambitious as the Salt State System in that the scope of adding a programmable
       logic engine of this scale into the event systems is non trivial.

       See Thorium Complex Reactor.

   Improved Mac OS Support
   Improved Solaris Support
       A lot of work was done to improve support for SmartOS.  This  work  also  resulted  in  improvements  for
       Solaris and illumos as SmartOS.

       • rewrite of vmadm module (SmartOS)

       • rewrite of imgadm module (SmartOS)

       • deprecation of virt module in favor of vmadm (SmartOS)

       • implemented smartos state (SmartOS)

       • improved zpool module add SmartOS, illumos and Solaris support

       • improved zfs module add SmartOS, illumos and Solaris support

       • implemented zpool state

       • implemented  zfs  state  implemented solaris_system system module to provide better Solaris support (PR
         #30519)

       • other minor fixes to grains, localmod, ...

   Tornado Transport
       IMPORTANT:
          The Tornado Transport wire protocol was changed in 2016.3, making  it  incompatible  with  2015.8  (PR
          #29339).

   Windows DSC Integration (Experiemental)
   Dimension Data Cloud Support
       A  SaltStack  Cloud  driver for Dimension Data Public Cloud, provides the driver functionality to service
       automation for any of the Dimension Data Public Cloud locations:

       • Deploy new virtual machines

       • List and query virtual machine images

       • Destroy and query virtual machines

       Documentation of the Dimension Data SaltStack integration is found on developer.dimensiondata.com

   Minion Blackout
       During  a  blackout,  minions  will   not   execute   any   remote   execution   commands,   except   for
       saltutil.refresh_pillar. Blackouts are enabled using a special pillar key, minion_blackout set to True.

       See Minion Blackout.

   Splunk Returner
       A Splunk Returner that uses HTTP Event Collector is now available (PR #30718).

   SQLCipher Pillar Module
       Support was added for retrieving pillar data via queries to SQLCiper databases (PR #29782).

   Known Issues
       issue  #36055: Salt Cloud events (salt/cloud) are not generated on the master event bus when provisioning
       cloud systems.

       Bootstrap Issue #973: python-futures is not installed when installing from  a  git  tag  on  RedHat-based
       distributions. Python futures is needed when

       running  Salt  with the TCP transport. This is fixed on the develop branch of the salt-bootstrap repo and
       the fix will be included in the upcoming release of salt-bootstrap, but is a bug in the bootstrap release
       that ships with this version of Salt. Please see the salt-bootstrap repo for more information on  how  to
       update your bootstrap version.

   Known Issues
       The  Salt  Minion  does not clean up files in /tmp when rendering templates.  This potentially results in
       either running out of disk space or running out of inodes. Please see issue #37541 for more  information.
       This bug was fixed with PR #37540, which will be available in the 2016.3.5 release of Salt.

       The  release  of the bootstrap-salt.sh script that is included with 2016.3.4 release has a bug in it that
       fails to install salt correctly for git installs using tags in the 2015.5 branch.  This bug has not  been
       fixed  in  the  salt-bootstrap  repository yet, but the previous bootstrap release (v2016.08.16) does not
       contain this bug.

   Changes
       • The disk.wipe execution module function has been modified so that it correctly wipes a disk.

       • Add ability to clone from a snapshot to the VMWare salt-cloud driver.

       • Add ability to specify disk backing mode in the VMWare salt cloud profile.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2017-5192 local_batch client external authentication not respected

       The  LocalClient.cmd_batch()  method client does not accept external_auth credentials and so access to it
       from  salt-api  has  been   removed   for   now.   This   vulnerability   allows   code   execution   for
       already-authenticated users and is only in effect when running salt-api as the root user.

       CVE-2017-5200 Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client

       Users  of  Salt-API  and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole when both systems
       were enabled.

       We recommend everyone on the 2016.3 branch upgrade to a patched release as soon as possible.

   Improved Checksum Handling in file.managed, archive.extracted States
       When the source_hash argument for these states refers to a file containing checksums, Salt now looks  for
       checksums  matching  the  name  of the source URI, as well as the file being managed. Prior releases only
       looked for checksums matching the filename being managed. Additionally, a new argument (source_hash_name)
       has been added, which allows the user to disambiguate ambiguous  matches  when  more  than  one  matching
       checksum is found in the source_hash file.

       A  more detailed explanation of this functionality can be found in the file.managed documentation, in the
       section for the new source_hash_name argument.

   Salt 2016.3.7 Release Notes
       Version 2016.3.7 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-12791 Maliciously crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory traversals on the Salt-master

       This release corrects a flaw in minion ID validation which could allow certain minions to authenticate to
       a master despite not having the correct credentials. To  exploit  the  vulnerability,  an  attacker  must
       create  a  salt-minion with an ID containing characters that will cause a directory traversal. Credit for
       discovering the security flaw goes to: Vernhk@qq.com

   Salt 2016.3.8 Release Notes
       Version 2016.3.8 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-14695 Directory traversal vulnerability in minion id  validation  in  SaltStack.  Allows  remote
       minions  with  incorrect  credentials  to  authenticate  to  a master via a crafted minion ID. Credit for
       discovering the security flaw goes to: Julian Brost (julian@0x4a42.net)

   Salt 2016.3.9 Release Notes
       Version 2016.3.9 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

   Master Changes
       The following options have been added to the master config file:

       • allow_minion_key_revoke  - This option controls whether a minion can request that the master revoke its
         key. When True, a minion can request a key revocation and the master will comply. If it is  False,  the
         key will not be revoked by the msater.

       • require_minion_sign_messages  -  This  requires  that  minions cryptographically sign the messages they
         publish to the master. If minions are not signing, then log this information at loglevel INFO and  drop
         the message without acting on it.

       • drop_messages_signature_fail  -  Drop messages from minions when their signatures do not validate. Note
         that when this option is False but  require_minion_sign_messages  is  True,  minions  MUST  sign  their
         messages, but the validity of their signatures is ignored.

       • minion_sign_messages - Causes the minion to cryptographically sign the payload of messages it places on
         the  event  bus for the master. The payloads are signed with the minion's private key so the master can
         verify the signature with its public key.

       The  2015.8.0 feature release of Salt contains several major new features. As usual the release notes are
       not exhaustive and primarily include the most notable additions and improvements. Hundreds of  bugs  have
       been fixed and many modules have been substantially updated and added.

   New SaltStack Installation Repositories
       SaltStack  now  provides  installation  repositories  for  several platforms, with more to come.  See the
       following links for instructions:

       • Red Hat / CentOS 5, 6, 7

       • Debian 8

       • Windows

   Send Event on State Completion
       A fire_event global state keyword argument was added  that  allows  any  state  to  send  an  event  upon
       completion. Useful for custom progress bars and checking in on long state runs. See fire_event.

   ZeroMQ socket monitoring
       If zmq_monitor is enabled, log all ZMQ events for socket monitoring purposes. Verbose, but useful.

   SPM (Salt Package Manager)
       Allows Salt formulas to be packaged for ease of deployment. See spm.

       NOTE:
          The  spm executable was not included in the Debian or Ubuntu packages for the 2015.8.0 or the 2015.8.1
          releases. This executable will be included in an upcoming release.  As  a  workaround,  copy  the  SPM
          script from the salt library installation into /usr/local/bin or your local equivalent.

   Specify a Single Environment for Top Files
       A new default_top option was added to load the state top file from a single, specific environment, rather
       than  merging  top  data across all environments. Additionally, new top_file_merge_strategy and env_order
       options were added for more control over top file merging. See The Top File.

   Tornado TCP Transport
       Implemented a pure-TCP transport, in addition to ZeroMQ and RAET. The new transport uses  Tornado,  which
       allows  Salt  to  use  a  standardized  set  of libraries for asynchronous behavior, which should greatly
       improve reliability and performance.

       NOTE:
          Tornado is considered expiremental in this release. The following known issues were being investigated
          at the time of release:

          • TCP tests show performance degredation over time (issue #26051)

          • TCP transport stacktrace on windows minion: Future exception was never retrieved (issue #25718)

          • [freebsd] TCP transport not working in 2015.8.0rc3 (issue #26364)

   Proxy Minion Enhancements
       Proxy Minions have undergone a significant overhaul in 2015.8, see Proxy Minion Enhancements.

   Engines
       Salt engines are long-running, external processes that leverage Salt. See Salt Engines.

   Core Changes
       • Add system version info to versions_report, which appears in both salt --versions-report and  salt  '*'
         test.versions_report. Also added is an alias test.versions to test.versions_report. (issue #21906)

       • Add  colorized  console  logging  support.   This  is activated by using %(colorlevel)s, %(colorname)s,
         %(colorprocess)s,  %(colormsg)s  in  log_fmt_console  in  the  config  file  for  any  of  salt-master,
         salt-minion, and salt-cloud.

   Git Pillar
       The  git  external  pillar  has  been  rewritten to bring it up to feature parity with gitfs. Support for
       pygit2 has been added, bringing with it the ability to access authenticated repositories.

       Using the new features will require updates to the git ext_pillar configuration, further details  can  be
       found in the pillar.git_pillar docs.

   Salt Cloud Improvements
       • Pricing data from several cloud providers (GCE, DigitalOcean, SoftLayer_HW, EC2)

       • All cloud providers now use standardized bootstrapping code.

       • Modified   the  Linode  Salt  Cloud  driver  to  use  Linode's  native  API  instead  of  depending  on
         apache-libcloud or linode-python.

   Salt Cloud Changes
       • Changed the default behavior of rename_on_destroy to be set to True in the EC2 and AWS drivers.

       • Changed the default behavior of the EC2 and AWS drivers to always check  for  duplicate  names  of  VMs
         before  trying  to  create a new VM. Will now throw an error similarly to other salt-cloud drivers when
         trying to create a VM of the same name, even if the VM is in the terminated state.

       • When querying for VMs in digital_ocean.py, the number of VMs to include in a page was changed  from  20
         (default) to 200 to reduce the number of API calls to Digital Ocean.Ocean.

   State and Execution Module Improvements
       • New and improved Docker state and execution modules (state and execution module).

   Git State and Execution Modules Rewritten
       The git state and execution modules have gone through an extensive overhaul.

   Changes in the git.latest State
       • The  branch argument has been added, allowing for a custom branch name to be used in the local checkout
         maintained by the git.latest state. This can be  helpful  in  avoiding  ambiguous  refs  in  the  local
         checkout  when  a  tag  is used as the rev argument. If no branch is specified, then the state uses the
         value of rev as the branch name.

       • The always_fetch argument no longer has any effect, and will be removed in a future release. The  state
         now  detects  whether  or  not a fetch is needed based on comparisons made between the local and remote
         repositories.

       • The force_fetch argument has been added to force a fetch if  the  fetch  is  not  a  fast-forward  (for
         instance, if someone has done a reset and force-pushed to the remote repository).

       • The remote_name argument has been deprecated and renamed to remote.

       • The  force  argument  has been deprecated and renamed to force_clone to reduce ambiguity with the other
         "force" arguments.

       • Using SHA1 hashes (full or shortened) in the rev argument is now properly supported.

       • Non-fast-forward merges are now detected before the repository is  updated,  and  the  state  will  not
         update  the repository if the change is not a fast-forward. Non-fast-forward updates must be overridden
         with the force_reset argument. If force_reset is set to True, the state will only reset the  repository
         if  it  cannot  be  fast-forwarded.  This is in contrast to the earlier behavior, in which a hard-reset
         would be performed every time the state was run if force_reset was set to True.

       • A git pull is  no  longer  performed  by  this  state,  dropped  in  favor  of  a  fetch-and-merge  (or
         fetch-and-reset) workflow.

   git.config_unset state added
       This  state  allows  for configuration values (or entire keys) to be unset. See here for more information
       and example SLS.

   git.config State Renamed to git.config_set
       To reduce confusion after the addition of git.config_unset, the git.config  state  has  been  renamed  to
       git.config_set.  The  old  config.get  name  will still work for a couple releases, allowing time for SLS
       files to be updated.

       In addition, this state now supports managing multivar  git  configuration  values.  See  here  for  more
       information and example SLS.

   Initial Support for Git Worktrees in Execution Module
       Several  functions  have  been  added  to  the execution module to manage worktrees (a feature new to Git
       2.5.0). State support does not exist yet, but will follow soon.

   New Functions in Git Execution Modulegit.config_get_regexpgit.config_unsetgit.is_worktreegit.list_branchesgit.list_tagsgit.list_worktreesgit.merge_basegit.merge_treegit.rev_parsegit.versiongit.worktree_rmgit.worktree_addgit.worktree_prune

   Changes to Functions in Git Execution Module
   git.add--verbose is now implied when running the git add command, to provide a list of the files added in  the
         return data.

   git.archive
       • Now returns True when the git archive command was successful, and otherwise raises an error.

       • The  overwrite  argument  has  been added to prevent an existing archive from being overwritten by this
         function.

       • The fmt argument has been deprecated and renamed to format.

       • Trailing slash no longer implied in prefix argument, must be included if this argument is passed.

   git.checkout
       • The rev argument is now optional when using -b or -B in opts, allowing for a branch to be  created  (or
         reset) using HEAD as the starting point.

   git.clone
       • The name argument has been added to specify the name of the directory in which to clone the repository.
         If  this  option  is  specified, then the clone will be made within the directory specified by the cwd,
         instead of at that location.

       • The repository argument has been deprecated and renamed to url.

   git.config_get
       • The setting_name argument has been deprecated and renamed to key.

       • The global argument has been added, to query the global git configuration

       • The all argument has been added to return a list of all values for the specified key, allowing for  all
         values in a multivar to be returned.

       • The cwd argument is now optional if global is set to True

   git.config_set
       • The value(s) of the key being set are now returned

       • The setting_name argument has been deprecated and renamed to key.

       • The setting_value argument has been deprecated and renamed to value.

       • The is_global argument has been deprecated and renamed to global.

       • The  multivar  argument  has  been  added to specify a list of values to set for the specified key. The
         value argument is not compatible with multivar.

       • The add argument has been added to add a value to a key (this essentially just adds an --add to the git
         config command that is run to set the value).

   git.fetch
       • The force argument has been added to force the fetch when it is not a  fast-forward.  This  could  have
         been  achieved  in  previous  Salt versions by including --force in the opts argument, this argument is
         just for convenience and to match the usage of other functions with force arguments.

       • The refspecs argument has been added to allow for one or more refspecs to be  provided  which  override
         the one(s) specified by the remote.remote_name.fetch git configuration option.

   git.ls_remote
       • The repository argument has been deprecated and renamed to remote.

       • The branch argument has been deprecated and renamed to ref.

       • The  opts argument has been added to allow for additional CLI options to be passed to the git ls-remote
         command.

   git.merge
       • The branch argument has been deprecated and renamed to rev.

   git.status
       • Return data has been changed from a list of lists to a dictionary containing  lists  of  files  in  the
         modified, added, deleted, and untracked states.

   git.submodule
       • Added  the  command  argument  to  allow  for operations other than update to be run on submodules, and
         deprecated  the  init  argument.  To  do  a  submodule  update  with  init=True  moving  forward,   use
         command=update opts='--init'.

       • OpenStack Glance API V2 execution module

       • Amazon VPC state module

       • RallyDev execution module

       • BambooHR execution module

       • Stormpath execution, state modules

       • Remove unused argument timeout in jboss7.status.

       • Deprecate enabled argument in pkgrepo.managed in favor of disabled.

       • Archive module changes: In the archive.tar and archive.cmd_unzip module functions, remove the arbitrary
         prefixing  of  the  options string with -. An options string beginning with a --long-option, would have
         uncharacteristically needed its first - removed under the former scheme.   Also,  tar  will  parse  its
         options  differently  if  short  options are used with or without a preceding -, so it is better to not
         confuse the user into thinking they're using the non- - format, when really they are using the with-  -
         format.

       • Added  __states__  to  state modules, for cross-calling states. This enables using existing states when
         writing custom states. See cross calling states.

   Windows Improvements
       • Enhanced the windows minion silent installation with command line  parameters  to  configure  the  salt
         master and minion name. See Silent Installer Options.

       • Improved user management with additional capabilities in the user module for Windows.

       • Improved patch management with a new module for managing windows updates (win_wua).

       • Turned on multi-processing by default for windows in minion configuration.

   Windows Software Repo Changes
       A next-generation (ng) windows software repo is available for 2015.8.0 and later minions. When using this
       new  repository,  the  repo  cache is compiled on the Salt Minion, which enables pillar, grains and other
       things to be available during compilation time.

       See the Windows Software Repository documentation for more information.

   Changes to legacy Windows repository
       If you have pre 2015.8 Windows minions connecting to your 2015.8 Salt master, you can continue to use the
       legacy Windows repository for these Salt minions.

       If you were previously using this repository and have customized settings, be aware that  several  config
       options have been renamed to make their naming more consistent.

       See the Windows Software Repository documentation for more information.

   Win System Module
       The   unit   of   the   timeout  parameter  in  the  system.halt,  system.poweroff,  system.reboot,   and
       system.shutdown functions has been changed from seconds to minutes in order to  be  consistent  with  the
       linux  timeout  setting.  (issue  #24411)   Optionally, the unit can be reverted to seconds by specifying
       in_seconds=True.

   Other Improvements
       • Sanitize sensitive fields in http.query

       • Allow authorization to be read from Django and eauth

       • Add templating to SMTP returner

       • New REST module for SDB

       • Added rest_timeout config option and timeout argument to jobs api call

       • Provide config options for Raet lane and road buffer count. (Useful for BSD kernels)

       • Implemented ZeroMQ socket monitor for master and minion

       • Add end time to master job cache for jobs (optional, off by default)

       • Tornado is now the default backend for http.request

       • Support pillarenv selection as it's done for saltenv

       • salt was updated to use python-crypto version 2.6.1, which removes the dependency on python-m2crypto.

   Deprecations
       • The digital_ocean.py Salt Cloud driver was removed  in  favor  of  the  digital_ocean_v2.py  driver  as
         DigitalOcean  has  removed  support for APIv1.  The digital_ocean_v2.py was renamed to digital_ocean.py
         and supports DigitalOcean's APIv2.

       • The vsphere.py Salt Cloud driver has been deprecated in favor of the vmware.py driver.

       • The openstack.py Salt Cloud driver has been deprecated in favor of the nova.py driver.

       • The use of provider in Salt Cloud provider files to define cloud drivers has been deprecated  in  favor
         of using driver. Both terms will work until the 2017.7.0 release of Salt. Example provider file:

          my-ec2-cloud-config:
            id: 'HJGRYCILJLKJYG'
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            private_key: /etc/salt/my_test_key.pem
            keyname: my_test_key
            securitygroup: default
            driver: ec2

       • The  use  of  lock  has  been  deprecated  and from salt.utils.fopen.  salt.utils.flopen should be used
         instead.

       • The following args have been deprecated from  the  rabbitmq_vhost.present  state:  user,  owner,  conf,
         write, read, and runas.

       • The use of runas has been deprecated from the rabbitmq_vhost.absent state.

       • Support for output in mine.get was removed. --out should be used instead.

       • The  use  of delim was removed from the following functions in the match execution module: pillar_pcre,
         pillar, grain_pcre,

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2015-6918 - Git modules leaking HTTPS auth credentials to debug log

       Updated the Git state and execution modules to no longer display HTTPS basic  authentication  credentials
       in  loglevel  debug  output  on  the Salt master. These credentials are now replaced with REDACTED in the
       debug output. Thanks to Andreas Stieger <asteiger@suse.com> for bringing this to our attention.

   Salt 2015.8.10 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.10 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

       This release includes fixes for two issues discovered in 2015.8.9:

       • Pip state broken in 2015.8.9 with pip <6.0 (issue #33376)

       • Fix traceback in logging for config validation (PR #33386)

   Final Release of Debian 7 Packages
       Regular  security support for Debian 7 ended on April 25th 2016. As a result, 2016.3.1 and 2015.8.10 will
       be the last Salt releases for which Debian 7 packages are created.

   Important Post-Upgrade Instructions for Linux Mint
       As a result of some upstream changes, the os grain on Mint Linux is now being detected  as  LinuxMint  (‐
       issue #33295). Run the following command after you upgrade to 2015.8.10 to reset the os grain to Mint and
       the os_family grain to Debian:

          salt -G 'os:LinuxMint' grains.setvals "{'os': 'Mint', 'os_family': 'Debian'}"

   Ubuntu 16.04 Packages
       SaltStack is now providing official Salt 2015.8 packages for Ubuntu 16.04.

   Returner Changes
       • Any returner which implements a save_load  function  is  now  required  to  accept  a  minions  keyword
         argument. All returners which ship with Salt have been modified to do so.

   New Master Configuration Parameterrotate_aes_key  - if True, causes Salt to generate a new AES key whenever a minion key is deleted. This
         eliminates the chance that a deleted minion could continue to  eavesdrop  on  communications  with  the
         master if it continues to run after its key is deleted.

   Salt 2015.8.13 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.13 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2017-5192 local_batch client external authentication not respected

       The  LocalClient.cmd_batch()  method client does not accept external_auth credentials and so access to it
       from  salt-api  has  been   removed   for   now.   This   vulnerability   allows   code   execution   for
       already-authenticated users and is only in effect when running salt-api as the root user.

       CVE-2017-5200 Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client

       Users  of  Salt-API  and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole when both systems
       were enabled.

       We recommend everyone on the 2015.8 branch upgrade to a patched release as soon as possible.

   Salt 2015.8.2 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.2 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2015-8034 Saving state.sls cache data to disk with insecure permissions

       This affects users of the state.sls function. The state run cache on the minion was  being  created  with
       incorrect  permissions.  This  file  could potentially contain sensitive data that was inserted via jinja
       into the state SLS files. The permissions for this file are now being set correctly.  Thanks  to  zmalone
       for bringing this issue to our attention.

   Known Issues*_in requisites (issue #30820)

         This issue affects all users targeting an explicit -  name:  <name>  with  a  _in  requisite  (such  as
         watch_in or require_in). If you are not using explicit - name: <name> arguments, are targeting with the
         state  ID  instead  of the name, or are not using _in requisites, then you should be safe to upgrade to
         2015.8.4.

         This issue is resolved in the 2015.8.5 release.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2016-1866 Improper handling of clear messages on the minion, which could result in executing commands
       not sent by the master.

       This issue affects only the 2015.8.x releases of Salt. In order  for  an  attacker  to  use  this  attack
       vector,  they  would have to execute a successful attack on an existing TCP connection between minion and
       master on the pub port. It does not allow an external attacker to obtain the shared secret or decrypt any
       encrypted traffic between minion and master.  Thank  you  to  Sebastian  Krahmer  <krahmer@suse.com>  for
       bringing this issue to our attention.

       We recommend everyone upgrade to 2015.8.4 as soon as possible.

   Core Changes
       • Support for IAM roles added to S3 module

       • Added option mock=True for state.sls and state.highstate. This allows the state compiler to process sls
         data  in  a  state  run  without  actually  calling the state functions, thus providing feedback on the
         validity of the arguments used for the  functions  beyond  the  preprocessing  validation  provided  by
         state.show_sls (issue #30118 and issue #30189).

   Salt 2015.8.5 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.5 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

       IMPORTANT:
          About  this  Release Salt 2015.8.5 is identical to the 2015.8.4 release with the addition of a fix for
          issue #30820, fixed by PR #30833. See here for the 2015.8.4 release notes.

   Known Issue in boto_* execution modules
       This release contains an issue that causes the boto_* execution modules to display a __salt__ not defined
       error (issue #30300). This issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, but can be  manually  resolved  by
       completing the following:

       1. Download  the boto_* execution modules that you would like to update from the 2015.8 branch of Salt. A
          complete list of affected modules with the specific changes is available in :pull`30867`.

          A simple way to get the updated modules is to download a zip file of the 2015.8  branch  from  GitHub.
          The updated modules are in the salt\modules directory.

       2. Place the boto_* modules into salt://_modules.

       3. Run the following command to sync these modules to all Salt minions:

             salt '*' saltutil.sync_modules

   Salt 2015.8.7 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.7 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

       NOTE:
          Salt 2015.8.4, 2015.8.5, and 2015.8.7 were all released within a short period due to regressions found
          soon  after  the  releases of 2015.8.4 and 2015.8.5. See here for the 2015.8.4 release notes, and here
          for the 2015.8.5 release notes.

   Change to Epoch Support for YUM/DNF
       For pkg.installed states, on Linux distributions which use yum/dnf, packages which have a non-zero  epoch
       in  the  version  number  now  require  this  epoch to be included when specifying an exact version for a
       package. For example:

          vim-enhanced:
            pkg.installed:
              - version: 2:7.4.160-1.el7

       The pkg.latest_version and pkg.list_repo_pkgs functions can be used to get the correct version string  to
       use, as they will now contain the epoch when it is non-zero.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2016-3176 Insecure configuration of PAM external authentication service

       This issue affects all Salt versions prior to 2015.8.8/2015.5.10  when  PAM  external  authentication  is
       enabled.  This  issue  involves  passing an alternative PAM authentication service with a command that is
       sent to LocalClient, enabling the attacker to bypass the configured authentication service. Thank you  to
       Dylan Frese <dmfrese@gmail.com> for bringing this issue to our attention.

       This  update  defines  the  PAM  eAuth  service  that  users  authenticate  against  in  the  Salt Master
       configuration.

   Read Before Upgrading Debian 7 (Wheezy) from 2015.8.7 to 2015.8.8
       Before you upgrade from 2015.8.7 on Debian 7, you must run the  following  commands  to  remove  previous
       packages:

          sudo apt-get remove python-pycrypto
          sudo apt-get remove python-apache-libcloud

       Note  that  python-pycrypto will likely remove python-apache-libcloud, so the second command might not be
       necessary. These have been replaced by python-crypto and python-libcloud with ~bpo70+1 moniker.

   Read Before Upgrading Debian 8 (Jessie) from Salt Versions Earlier than 2015.8.4
       Salt systemd service files are missing the following statement in these versions:

          [Service]
          KillMode=process

       This statement must be added to successfully upgrade on these earlier versions of Salt.

   Important Post-Upgrade Instructions for Linux Mint
       As  a  result  of some upstream changes, the os grain on Mint Linux is now being detected as LinuxMint (‐
       issue #33295). Run the following command after you upgrade to 2015.8.9 to reset the os grain to Mint  and
       the os_family grain to Debian:

          salt -G 'os:LinuxMint' grains.setvals "{'os': 'Mint', 'os_family': 'Debian'}"

   Salt 2015.5.0 Release Notes - Codename Lithium
       The  2015.5.0  feature  release  of  Salt  is  focused on hardening Salt and mostly on improving existing
       systems. A few major additions are present, primarily the new Beacon system. Most enhancements have  been
       focused around improving existing features and interfaces.

       As  usual  the  release  notes  are  not  exhaustive and primarily include the most notable additions and
       improvements. Hundreds of bugs have been fixed and many  modules  have  been  substantially  updated  and
       added.

       WARNING:
          In  order  to fix potential shell injection vulnerabilities in salt modules, a change has been made to
          the various cmd module functions. These functions now default to python_shell=False, which means  that
          the commands will not be sent to an actual shell.

          The  largest  side effect of this change is that "shellisms", such as pipes, will not work by default.
          The modules shipped with salt have been audited to fix any issues that might  have  arisen  from  this
          change.   Additionally,  the cmd state module has been unaffected, and use of cmd.run in jinja is also
          unaffected. cmd.run calls on the CLI will also allow shellisms.

          However, custom execution modules which use shellisms  in  cmd  calls  will  break,  unless  you  pass
          python_shell=True to these calls.

          As  a  temporary  workaround, you can set cmd_safe: False in your minion and master configs. This will
          revert the default, but is also less secure, as it will allow shell injection  vulnerabilities  to  be
          written  in  custom  code.  We  recommend you only set this setting for as long as it takes to resolve
          these issues in your custom code, then remove the override.

       NOTE:
          Starting in this version of salt, pillar_opts defaults to False  instead  of  True.  This  means  that
          master  opts  will not be present in minion pillar, and as a result, config.get calls will not include
          master opts.

          We recommend pillar is used for configuration options which need to make it to the minion.

   Beacons
       The beacon system allows the minion to hook into system  processes  and  continually  translate  external
       events  into  the  salt  event  bus.  The primary example of this is the inotify beacon. This beacon uses
       inotify to watch configured files or directories on the minion for changes, creation, deletion etc.

       This allows for the changes to be sent up to the master where the reactor can respond to changes.

   Sudo Minion Settings
       It is now possible to run the minion as a non-root user and for the minion to execute commands via  sudo.
       Simply  add  sudo_user:  root to the minion config, run the minion as a non-root user and grant that user
       sudo rights to execute salt-call.

   Lazy Loader
       The Lazy Loader is a significant overhaul of Salt's module loader system. The  Lazy  Loader  will  lazily
       load  modules  on  access  instead  of all on start. In addition to a major performance improvement, this
       "sandboxes" modules so a bad/broken import of  a  single  module  will  only  affect  jobs  that  require
       accessing the broken module. (:issue: 20274)

   Enhanced Active Directory Support
       The  eauth  system  for LDAP has been extended to support Microsoft Active Directory out of the box. This
       includes Active Directory and LDAP group support for eauth.

   Salt LXC Enhancements
       The LXC systems have been overhauled to be more consistent and to fix many bugs.

       This overhaul  makes  using  LXC  with  Salt  much  easier  and  substantially  improves  the  underlying
       capabilities of Salt's LXC integration.

   Salt SSH
       • Additional configuration options and command line flags have been added to configure the scan roster on
         the fly

       • Added support for state.single in salt-ssh

       • Added support for publish.publish, publish.full_data, and publish.runner in salt-ssh

       • Added support for mine.get in salt-ssh

   New Windows Installer
       The  new  Windows installer changes how Salt is installed on Windows.  The old installer used bbfreeze to
       create an isolated python environment to execute in.  This  made  adding  modules  and  python  libraries
       difficult.  The  new  installer  sets  up a more flexible python environment making it easy to manage the
       python install and add python modules.

       Instead of frozen packages, a full python implementation resides in the bin directory  (C:\salt\bin).  By
       executing pip or easy_install from within the Scripts directory (C:\salt\bin\Scripts) you can install any
       additional python modules you may need for your custom environment.

       The .exe's that once resided at the root of the salt directory (C:\salt) have been replaced by .bat files
       and should function the same way as the .exe's in previous versions.

       The  new  Windows  Installer will not replace the minion config file and key if they already exist on the
       target system. Only the salt program files will be replaced. C:\salt\conf  and  C:\salt\var  will  remain
       unchanged.

   Removed Requests Dependency
       The  hard  dependency on the requests library has been removed. Requests is still required by a number of
       cloud modules but is no longer required for normal Salt operations.

       This removal fixes issues that were introduced with requests  and  salt-ssh,  as  well  as  issues  users
       experienced from the many different packaging methods used by requests package maintainers.

   Python 3 Updates
       While  Salt  does  not YET run on Python 3 it has been updated to INSTALL on Python 3, taking us one step
       closer. What remains is getting the test suite to the point where it can run on Python 3 so that  we  can
       verify compatibility.

   RAET Additions
       The  RAET  support  continues  to  improve.  RAET now supports multi-master and many bugs and performance
       issues have been fixed. RAET is much closer to being a first class citizen.

   Modified File Detection
       A number of functions have been added to the RPM-based package managers to detect and diff files that are
       modified from the original package installs.  This can be found in the new pkg.modified functions.

   Reactor Update
       Fix an infinite recursion problem for runner/wheel reactor jobs by passing a "user" (Reactor) to all jobs
       that the reactor starts. The reactor skips all events created by that username -- thereby  only  reacting
       to  events  not  caused by itself. Because of this, runner and wheel executions from the runner will have
       user "Reactor" in the job cache.

   Misc Fixes/Additions
       • SDB driver for etcd. (:issue: 22043)

       • Add only_upgrade argument to apt-based pkg.install to only install a package version if the package  is
         already installed. (Great for security updates!)

       • Joyent  now  requires  a  keyname  to  be  specified  in  the  provider  configuration. This change was
         necessitated upstream by the 7.0+ API.

       • Add args argument to cmd.script_retcode to match cmd.script in the cmd module. (:issue: 21122)

       • Fixed bug where TCP keepalive was not being sent on the defined interval on the return port (4506) from
         minion to master. (:issue: 21465)

       • LocalClient may now optionally raise SaltClientError exceptions. If using this class directly, checking
         for and handling this exception is recommended.  (:issue: 21501)

       • The SAuth object is now a singleton, meaning authentication  state  is  global  (per  master)  on  each
         minion. This reduces sign-ins of minions from 3->1 per startup.

       • Nested outputter has been optimized, it is now much faster.

       • Extensive fileserver backend updates.

   Deprecations
       • Removed parameter keyword argument from eselect.exec_action execution module.

       • Removed runas parameter from the following pip` execution module functions: install, uninstall, freeze,
         list_, list_upgrades, upgrade_available, upgrade. Please migrate to user.

       • Removed  runas  parameter from the following pip state module functions: installed, removed, uptodate .
         Please migrate to user.

       • Removed quiet option from all functions in cmdmod execution module.  Please  use  output_loglevel=quiet
         instead.

       • Removed   parameter   argument   from   eselect.set_  state.  Please  migrate  to  module_parameter  or
         action_parameter.

       • The salt_events table schema has changed to include an additional field called master_id to distinguish
         between events flowing into a database from multiple masters. If event_return is enabled in the  master
         config,  the  database schema must first be updated to add the master_id field.  This alteration can be
         accomplished as follows:
            ALTER TABLE salt_events ADD master_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL;

   Known Issues
       • In multi-master mode, a minion may become temporarily unresponsive if modules or pillars are  refreshed
         at  the  same  time  that  one  or  more  masters  are  down.   This  can  be  worked around by setting
         'auth_timeout' and 'auth_tries' down to shorter periods.

   Salt 2015.5.10 Release Notes
       release
              2015-03-22

       Version 2015.5.10 is a bugfix release for 2015.5.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2016-3176 Insecure configuration of PAM external authentication service

       This  issue  affects  all  Salt  versions prior to 2015.8.8/2015.5.10 when PAM external authentication is
       enabled. This issue involves passing an alternative PAM authentication service with  a  command  that  is
       sent  to LocalClient, enabling the attacker to bypass the configured authentication service. Thank you to
       Dylan Frese <dmfrese@gmail.com> for bringing this issue to our attention.

       This update  defines  the  PAM  eAuth  service  that  users  authenticate  against  in  the  Salt  Master
       configuration.

       No additional fixes are included in this release.

   Read Before Upgrading Debian 8 (Jessie) from Salt Versions Earlier than 2015.5.9
       Salt systemd service files are missing the following statement in these versions:

          [Service]
          KillMode=process

       This statement must be added to successfully upgrade on these earlier versions of Salt.

       • 69ba1de71d Remove ability of authenticating user to specify pam service

   Bug Fixes
       • The cron.present state now correctly defaults to state ID as identifier.

   Salt-Cloud Changes
       • When querying for VMs in the digital_ocean_v2 cloud driver, the number of VMs to include in a page  was
         changed from 20 (default) to 200 to reduce the number of API calls to Digital Ocean.

       • The vmware salt-cloud driver was back-ported from the develop branch in order for installations of Salt
         that  are  older  than  2015.8.0  to  be able to use the vmware driver without stack-tracing on various
         deprecation paths that were implemented in the 2015.8.0 release.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2015-6941  The  Windows  user module and salt-cloud display passwords in log when log level is set to
       debug or more verbose.

       For the Windows user module, the password is now replaced with the string XXX-REDACTED-XXX.

       For  salt-cloud,  debug  logging  no  longer  displays  win_password  and  sudo_password   authentication
       credentials.

       CVE-2015-6918  Git  state/execution  modules log HTTPS auth credentials when log level is set to debug or
       more verbose.

       These credentials are now replaced with REDACTED in the debug  output.   Thanks  to  Andreas  Stieger  <‐
       asteiger@suse.com> for bringing this to our attention.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2015-8034 Saving state.sls cache data to disk with insecure permissions

       This affects users of the state.sls function. The state run cache on the minion was  being  created  with
       incorrect  permissions.  This  file  could potentially contain sensitive data that was inserted via jinja
       into the state SLS files. The permissions for this file are now being set correctly.  Thanks  to  zmalone
       for bringing this issue to our attention.

   Salt 2014.7.0 Release Notes - Codename Helium
       This  release  is the largest Salt release ever, with more features and commits then any previous release
       of Salt. Everything from the new RAET transport to major updates in Salt Cloud and the  merging  of  Salt
       API into the main project.

       IMPORTANT:
          The  Fedora/RHEL/CentOS  salt-master  package  has  been  modified  for  this  release.  The following
          components of Salt have been broken out and placed into their own packages:

          • salt-syndic

          • salt-cloud

          • salt-ssh

          When the salt-master package is upgraded, these components will be removed, and they will need  to  be
          manually installed.

       IMPORTANT:
          Compound/pillar  matching  have  been  temporarily  disabled for the mine and publish modules for this
          release due to the possibility of inferring pillar data using pillar glob matching. A  proper  fix  is
          now  in  the  2014.7  branch  and  scheduled  for  the   2014.7.1  release,  and compound matching and
          non-globbing pillar matching will be re-enabled at that point.

          Compound and pillar matching for normal salt commands are unaffected.

   New Transport!
   RAET Transport Option
       This has been a HUGE amount of work, but the beta release of Salt with RAET is ready to  go.  RAET  is  a
       reliable  queuing  transport  system  that  has  been  developed  in  partnership  with a number of large
       enterprises to give Salt an alternative to ZeroMQ and a way to get Salt to  scale  well  beyond  tens  of
       thousands of servers. Unlike ZeroMQ, RAET is completely asynchronous in every aspect of its operation and
       has been developed using the flow programming paradigm. This allows for many new capabilities to be added
       to Salt in the upcoming releases.

       Please  keep  in  mind  that  this  is  a  beta  release  of  RAET and we hope for bugs to be worked out,
       performance to be better realized and more in the 2015.5.0 release.

       Simply stated, users running Salt with RAET should expect some hiccups as we hammer out the update.  This
       is a BETA release of Salt RAET.

   Salt SSH Enhancements
       Salt  SSH  has just entered a new league, with substantial updates and improvements to make salt-ssh more
       reliable and easier then ever! From new features like the ansible roster and fileserver backends  to  the
       new pypi salt-ssh installer to lowered deps and a swath of bugfixes, salt-ssh is basically reborn!

   Install salt-ssh Using pip
       Salt-ssh is now pip-installable!

       https://pypi.org/project/salt-ssh/

       Pip  will  bring  in  all  of  the required deps, and while some deps are compiled, they all include pure
       python implementations, meaning that any compile errors which may be seen can be safely ignored.

          pip install salt-ssh

   Fileserver Backends
       Salt-ssh can now use the salt fileserver backend system. This allows for the gitfs, hgfs,  s3,  and  many
       more  ways  to centrally store states to be easily used with salt-ssh. This also allows for a distributed
       team to easily use a centralized source.

   Saltfile Support
       The new saltfile system makes it easy to have a user specific custom extended configuration.

   Ext Pillar
       Salt-ssh can now use the external pillar system. Making it easier then ever to use salt-ssh with teams.

   No More sshpass
       Thanks to the enhancements in the salt vt system, salt-ssh no longer requires sshpass to  send  passwords
       to  ssh.  This  also  makes  the  manipulation  of  ssh  calls  substantially more flexible, allowing for
       intercepting ssh calls in a much more fluid way.

   Pure Python Shim
       The salt-ssh call originally used a shell script to discover what version of python to execute  with  and
       determine  the  state of the ssh code deployment.  This shell script has been replaced with a pure python
       version making it easy to increase the  capability  of  the  code  deployment  without  causing  platform
       inconsistency issues with different shell interpreters.

   Custom Module Delivery
       Custom  modules  are  now  seamlessly  delivered.  This  makes  the  deployment of custom grains, states,
       execution modules and returners a seamless process.

   CP Module Support
       Salt-ssh now makes simple file transfers easier  then  ever!  The  cp  module  allows  for  files  to  be
       conveniently sent from the salt fileserver system down to systems.

   More Thin Directory Options
       Salt  ssh  functions by copying a subset of the salt code, or salt thin down to the target system. In the
       past this was always transferred to /tmp/.salt and cached there for subsequent commands.

       Now, salt thin can be sent to a random directory and removed when  the  call  is  complete  with  the  -W
       option. The new -W option still uses a static location but will clean up that location when finished.

       The  default  salt  thin location is now user defined, allowing multiple users to cleanly access the same
       systems.

   State System Enhancements
   New Imperative State Keyword Listen
       The new listen and listen_in keywords allow for completely imperative states by calling  the  mod_watch()
       routine after all states have run instead of re-ordering the states.

   Mod Aggregate Runtime Manipulator
       The new mod_aggregate system allows for the state system to rewrite the state data during execution. This
       allows for state definitions to be aggregated dynamically at runtime.

       The  best example is found in the pkg state. If mod_aggregate is turned on, then when the first pkg state
       is reached, the state system will scan all of the other running states for pkg states and take all  other
       packages set for install and install them all at once in the first pkg state.

       These runtime modifications make it easy to run groups of states together. In future versions, we hope to
       fill out the mod_aggregate system to build in more and more optimizations.

       For more documentation on mod_aggregate, see the documentation.

   New Requisites: onchanges and onfail
       The  new  onchanges  and  onchanges_in  requisites  make  a  state apply only if there are changes in the
       required state. This is useful to execute post hooks after changes occur on a system.

       The other new requisites, onfail, and onfail_in, allow for a state to run in reaction to the  failure  of
       another state.

       For more information about these new requisites, see the requisites documentation.

   Global onlyif and unless
       The onlyif and unless options can now be used for any state declaration.

   Use names to expand and override values
       The  names  declaration  in  Salt's  state  system  can  now  override or add values to the expanded data
       structure. For example:

          my_users:
            user.present:
              - names:
                - larry
                - curly
                - moe:
                  - shell: /bin/zsh
                  - groups:
                    - wheel
              - shell: /bin/bash

   Major Features
   Scheduler Additions
       The Salt scheduler system has received MAJOR enhancements, allowing for  cron-like  scheduling  and  much
       more granular timing routines. See here for more info.

   Red Hat 7 Family Support
       All  the  needed  additions  have  been  made  to  run  Salt  on  RHEL 7 and derived OSes like CentOS and
       Scientific.

   Fileserver Backends in salt-call
       Fileserver backends like gitfs can now be used without a salt master! Just  add  the  fileserver  backend
       configuration  to  the minion config and execute salt-call. This has been a much-requested feature and we
       are happy to finally bring it to our users.

   Amazon Execution Modules
       An entire family of execution modules further enhancing Salt's Amazon Cloud  support.  They  include  the
       following:

       • Autoscale Groups (includes state support) -- related: Launch Control states

       • Cloud Watch (includes state support)

       • Elastic Cache (includes state support)

   LXC Runner Enhancements
       BETA The Salt LXC management system has received a number of enhancements which make running an LXC cloud
       entirely from Salt an easy proposition.

   Next Gen Docker Management
       The Docker support in Salt has been increased at least ten fold. The Docker API is now completely exposed
       and Salt ships with Docker data tracking systems which make automating Docker deployments very easy.

   Peer System Performance Improvements
       The peer system communication routines have been refined to make the peer system substantially faster.

   SDB
       Encryption at rest for configs

   GPG Renderer
       Encrypted pillar at rest

   OpenStack Expansion
       Lots of new OpenStack stuff

   Queues System
       Ran change external queue systems into Salt events

   Multi Master Failover Additions
       Connecting to multiple masters is more dynamic then ever

   Chef Execution Module
       Managing Chef with Salt just got even easier!

   salt-api Project Merge
       The  salt-api  project  has  been  merged  into  Salt  core  and  is now available as part of the regular
       salt-master package install. No API changes were made,  the  salt-api  script  and  init  scripts  remain
       intact.

       salt-api  has  always  provided  Yet  Another  Pluggable  Interface  to Salt (TM) in the form of "netapi"
       modules. These are modules that bind to a port and start a service. Like  many  of  Salt's  other  module
       types,  netapi  modules often have library and configuration dependencies. See the documentation for each
       module for instructions.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of netapi modules.

   Synchronous and Asynchronous Execution of Runner and Wheel Modules
       salt.runner.RunnerClient and salt.wheel.WheelClient have both gained complimentary cmd_sync and cmd_async
       methods allowing for synchronous and asynchronous execution of any Runner or Wheel module  function,  all
       protected using Salt's external authentication system. salt-api benefits from this addition as well.

   rest_cherrypy Additions
       The rest_cherrypy netapi module provides the main REST API for Salt.

   Web Hooks
       This  release  of  course  includes  the  Web Hook additions from the most recent salt-api release, which
       allows external services to signal actions within a Salt infrastructure. External services such as Amazon
       SNS, Travis-CI, or GitHub, as well as internal services that cannot or  should  not  run  a  Salt  minion
       daemon can be used as first-class components in Salt's rich orchestration capabilities.

       The  raw HTTP request body is now available in the event data. This is sometimes required information for
       checking an HMAC signature in order to verify a HTTP request. As an example, Amazon  or  GitHub  requests
       are signed this way.

   Generating and Accepting Minion Keys
       The  /key  convenience URL generates a public and private key for a minion, automatically pre-accepts the
       public key on the Salt Master, and returns both keys as a tarball for download.

       This allows for easily bootstrapping the key on a new minion with a single HTTP  call,  such  as  with  a
       Kickstart script, all using regular shell tools.

          curl -sS http://salt-api.example.com:8000/keys \
                  -d mid=jerry \
                  -d username=kickstart \
                  -d password=kickstart \
                  -d eauth=pam \
                  -o jerry-salt-keys.tar

   Fileserver Backend Enhancements
       All  of  the  fileserver  backends have been overhauled to be faster, lighter, and more reliable. The VCS
       backends (gitfs, hgfs, and svnfs) have also received a lot of new features.

       Additionally, most config parameters for the VCS backends can now be configured on  a  per-remote  basis,
       allowing for global config parameters to be overridden for a specific gitfs/hgfs/svnfs remote.

   New gitfs Features
   Pygit2 and Dulwich
       In  addition  to supporting GitPython, support for pygit2 (0.20.3 and newer) and dulwich have been added.
       Provided a compatible version of pygit2 is installed, it will now be the  default  provider.  The  config
       parameter gitfs_provider has been added to allow one to choose a specific provider for gitfs.

   Mountpoints
       Prior  to this release, to serve a file from gitfs at a salt fileserver URL of salt://foo/bar/baz.txt, it
       was necessary to ensure that the parent directories existed in the repository.  A  new  config  parameter
       gitfs_mountpoint allows gitfs remotes to be exposed starting at a user-defined salt:// URL.

   Environment Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       By  default,  gitfs  will  expose  all  branches and tags as Salt fileserver environments. Two new config
       parameters, gitfs_env_whitelist, and gitfs_env_blacklist, allow more control over which branches and tags
       are exposed. More detailed information on  how  these  two  options  work  can  be  found  in  the  Gitfs
       Walkthrough.

   Expanded Authentication Support
       As  of  pygit2  0.20.3, both http(s) and SSH key authentication are supported, and Salt now also supports
       both authentication methods when using pygit2. Keep in mind that pygit2 0.20.3 is not  yet  available  on
       many  platforms,  so  those  who  had been using authenticated git repositories with a passphraseless key
       should stick to GitPython if a new enough pygit2 is not yet available  for  the  platform  on  which  the
       master is running.

       A full explanation of how to use authentication can be found in the Gitfs Walkthrough.

   New hgfs Features
   Mountpoints
       This   feature   works   exactly  like  its  gitfs  counterpart.  The  new  config  parameter  is  called
       hgfs_mountpoint.

   Environment Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       This  feature  works  exactly  like  its  gitfs  counterpart.  The  new  config  parameters  are   called
       hgfs_env_whitelist and hgfs_env_blacklist.

   New svnfs Features
   Mountpoints
       This   feature   works   exactly  like  its  gitfs  counterpart.  The  new  config  parameter  is  called
       svnfs_mountpoint.

   Environment Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       This  feature  works  exactly  like  its  gitfs  counterpart.  The  new  config  parameters  are   called
       svnfs_env_whitelist and svnfs_env_blacklist.

   Configurable Trunk/Branches/Tags Paths
       Prior  to  this  release,  the  paths  where  trunk,  branches,  and  tags  were located could only be in
       directories named "trunk", "branches", and "tags" directly under the root of the  repository.  Three  new
       config parameters (svnfs_trunk, svnfs_branches, and svnfs_tags) allow SVN repositories which are laid out
       differently to be used with svnfs.

   New minionfs Features
   Mountpoint
       This   feature   works   exactly  like  its  gitfs  counterpart.  The  new  config  parameter  is  called
       minionfs_mountpoint. The one major difference is that, as minionfs doesn't use multiple remotes (it  just
       serves  up files pushed to the master using cp.push) there is no such thing as a per-remote configuration
       for minionfs_mountpoint.

   Changing the Saltenv from Which Files are Served
       A new config parameter (minionfs_env)  allows  minionfs  files  to  be  served  from  a  Salt  fileserver
       environment other than base.

   Minion Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       By  default,  minionfs  will  expose  the  pushed  files  from  all  minions.  Two new config parameters,
       minionfs_whitelist, and minionfs_blacklist, allow minionfs to be restricted to serve files from only  the
       desired minions.

   Pyobjects Renderer
       Salt  now ships with with the Pyobjects Renderer that allows for construction of States using pure Python
       with an idiomatic object interface.

   New Modules
       In addition to the Amazon modules mentioned above, there are also several other new execution modules:

       • OracleRandomRedisAmazon Simple Queue ServiceBlock Device ManagementCoreOS etcdGenesisInfluxDBServer DensityTwilio NotificationsVarnishZNC IRC BouncerSMTP

   New RunnersMap/Reduce StyleQueue

   New External PillarsCoreOS etcd

   New Salt-Cloud ProvidersAliyun ECS CloudLXC ContainersProxmox (OpenVZ containers & KVM)

   Salt Call Change
       When used with a returner, salt-call now contacts a master if --local is not specicified.

   Salt 2014.7.1 Release Notes
       release
              2015-01-12

       Version 2014.7.1 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

       The changes include:

       • Fixed gitfs serving symlinks in file.recurse states (issue #17700)

       • Fixed holding of multiple packages (YUM) when combined with version pinning (issue #18468)

       • Fixed use of Jinja templates in masterless mode with non-roots fileserver backend (issue #17963)

       • Re-enabled  pillar and compound matching for mine and publish calls. Note that pillar globbing is still
         disabled for those modes, for security reasons.  (issue #17194)

       • Fix for tty: True in salt-ssh (issue #16847)

       • Fix for supervisord states when supervisor not installed to system python (issue #18044)

       • Fix for logging when log_level='quiet' for cmd.run (issue #19479)

   Salt 2014.7.2 Release Notes
       release
              2015-02-09

       Version 2014.7.2 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

       The changes include:

       • Fix erroneous warnings for systemd service enabled check (issue #19606)

       • Fix FreeBSD kernel module loading, listing, and persistence kmod (issue #197151, issue #19682)

       • Allow case-sensitive npm package names in the npm state.  This may break behavior for people  expecting
         the  state  to  lowercase  their  npm  package  names  for  them.  The npm module was never affected by
         mandatory lowercasing.  (issue #20329)

       • Deprecate the activate parameter for pip.install for both the module and  the  state.   If  bin_env  is
         given  and  points  to a virtualenv, there is no need to activate that virtualenv in a shell for pip to
         install to the virtualenv.

       • Fix a file-locking bug in gitfs (issue #18839)

       • Deprecated archive_user in favor of standardized user parameter in state and added group parameter.

   Salt 2014.7.3 Release Notes
       release
              2015-03-25

       Version 2014.7.3 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

       Changes:

       • Multi-master minions mode no longer route fileclient operations asymetrically.  This fixes  the  source
         of many multi-master bugs where the minion would become unrepsonsive from one or more masters.

       • Allow KVM module to operate under KVM itself or VMware Fusion

       • Various fixes to the Windows installation scripts

       • Fix issue where the syndic would not correctly propagate loads to the master job cache.

       • Improve error handling on invalid /etc/network/interfaces file in salt networking modules

       • Fix bug where a response status was not checked for in fileclient.get_url

       • Increase timeout in Boto Route53 module

       • Fix bugs with Salt's 'tar' module option parsing

       • Fix parsing of NTP servers on Windows

       • Fix issue with blockdev tuning not reporting changes correctly

       • Update to the latest Salt bootstrap script

       • Update Linode salt-cloud driver to use either linode-python or apache-libcloud

       • Fix for s3.query function to return correct headers

       • Fix for s3.head returning None for files that exist

       • Fix the disable function in win_service module so that the service is disabled correctly

       • Fix  race condition between master and minion when making a directory when both daemons are on the same
         host

       • Fix an issue where file.recurse would fail at the root of an svn repo when the repo has a mountpoint

       • Fix an issue where file.recurse would fail at the root of an hgfs repo when the repo has a mountpoint

       • Fix an issue where file.recurse would fail at the root of an gitfs repo when the repo has a mountpoint

       • Add status.master capability for Windows.

       • Various fixes to ssh_known_hosts

       • Various fixes to states.network bonding for Debian

       • The debian_ip.get_interfaces module no longer removes nameservers.

       • Better integration between grains.virtual and systemd-detect-virt and virt-what

       • Fix traceback in sysctl.present state output

       • Fix for issue  where  mount.mounted  would  fail  when  superopts  were  not  a  part  of  mount.active
         (extended=True). Also mount.mounted various fixes for Solaris and FreeBSD.

       • Fix error where datetimes were not correctly safeguarded before being passed into msgpack.

       • Fix  file.replace  regressions.  If the pattern is not found, and if dry run is False, and if backup is
         False, and if a  pre-existing  file  exists  with  extension  .bak,  then  that  backup  file  will  be
         overwritten. This backup behavior is a result of how fileinput works. Fixing it requires either passing
         through  the  file  twice  (the  first  time  only  to search for content and set a flag), or rewriting
         file.replace so it doesn't use fileinput

       • VCS filreserver fixes/optimizations

       • Catch fileserver configuration errors on master start

       • Raise errors on invalid gitfs configurations

       • Fix various bugs with argument parsing to the publish module.

       • Fix disk.usage for Synology OS

       • Fix issue with tags occurring twice with docker.pulled

       • Fix incorrect key error in SMTP returner

       • Fix condition which would remount loopback filesystems on every state run

       • Remove requsites from listens after they are called in the state system

       • Make system implementation of service.running aware of legacy service calls

       • Fix issue where publish.publish would not handle duplicate responses gracefully.

       • Accept Kali Linux for aptpkg salt execution module

       • Fix bug where cmd.which could not handle a dirname as an argument

       • Fix issue in ps.pgrep where exceptions were thrown on Windows.

       Known issues:

       • In multimaster mode, a minion may become temporarily unresponsive if modules or pillars  are  refreshed
         at the same time that one or more masters are down. This can be worked around by setting 'auth_timeout'
         and 'auth_tries' down to shorter periods.

       release
              2015-03-30

         patched with the change in Pull Request #22464.

       • The fun, state, and unless keywords are missing from the state  internals,  which  can  cause  problems
         running some states. This bug can be patched with the change in Pull Request #22365.

       • In  multimaster  mode, a minion may become temporarily unresponsive if modules or pillars are refreshed
         at the same time that one or more masters are down. This can be worked around by setting 'auth_timeout'
         and 'auth_tries' down to shorter periods.

   Salt 2014.1.0 Release Notes - Codename Hydrogen
       NOTE:
          Due to a change  in  master  to  minion  communication,  2014.1.0  minions  are  not  compatible  with
          older-version  masters.   Please  upgrade  masters first.  More info on backwards-compatibility policy
          here, under the "Upgrading Salt" subheading.

       NOTE:
          A change in the grammar in the state compiler makes module.run in requisites illegal syntax.  Its  use
          is replaced simply with the word module.  In other words you will need to change requisites like this:

              require:
                  module.run: some_module_name

          to:

              require:
                  module: some_module_name

          This  is  a  breaking change.  We apologize for the inconvenience, we needed to do this to remove some
          ambiguity in parsing requisites.

       release
              2014-02-24

       The 2014.1.0 release of Salt is a major release which not only increases stability but  also  brings  new
       capabilities  in  virtualization,  cloud  integration, and more. This release brings a great focus on the
       expansion of testing making roughly double the coverage in the  Salt  tests,  and  comes  with  many  new
       features.

       2014.1.0 is the first release to follow the new date-based release naming system. See the version numbers
       page for more details.

   Major Features
   Salt Cloud Merged into Salt
       Salt  Cloud  is  a  tool  for  provisioning  salted minions across various cloud providers. Prior to this
       release, Salt Cloud  was  a  separate  project  but  this  marks  its  full  integration  with  the  Salt
       distribution. A Getting Started guide and additional documentation for Salt Cloud can be found here:

   Google Compute Engine
       Alongside  Salt  Cloud  comes  new  support  for the Google Compute Engine. Salt Stack can now deploy and
       control GCE virtual machines and the application stacks that they run.

       For more information on Salt Stack and GCE, please see this blog post.

       Documentation for Salt and GCE can be found here.

   Salt Virt
       Salt Virt is a cloud controller that supports virtual  machine  deployment,  inspection,  migration,  and
       integration with many aspects of Salt.

       Salt  Virt  has  undergone  a  major  overhaul  with this release and now supports many more features and
       includes a number of critical improvements.

   Docker Integration
       Salt now ships with states and an execution module to manage Docker containers.

   Substantial Testing Expansion
       Salt continues to increase its unit/regression test coverage. This release includes over 300 new tests.

   BSD Package Management
       BSD package management has been entirely rewritten. FreeBSD 9 and older now  default  to  using  pkg_add,
       while  FreeBSD  10 and newer will use pkgng. FreeBSD 9 can be forced to use pkgng, however, by specifying
       the following option in the minion config file:

          providers:
            pkg: pkgng

       In addition, support for installing software from the ports tree has been added.  See  the  documentation
       for the ports state and execution module for more information.

   Network Management for Debian/Ubuntu
       Initial  support  for  management  of  network interfaces on Debian-based distros has been added. See the
       documentation for the network state and the debian_ip for more information.

   IPv6 Support for iptables State/Module
       The iptables state and module now have IPv6 support. A new parameter family has been added to the  states
       and  execution  functions,  to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6. The default value for this parameter is
       ipv4, specifying ipv6 will use ip6tables to manage firewall rules.

   GitFS Improvements
       Several performance improvements have been made to the Git fileserver backend. Additionally, file  states
       can now use any SHA1 commit hash as a fileserver environment:

          /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://webserver/files/httpd.conf
              - saltenv: 45af879

       This applies to the functions in the cp module as well:

          salt '*' cp.get_file salt://readme.txt /tmp/readme.txt saltenv=45af879

   MinionFS
       This  new  fileserver  backend  allows  files which have been pushed from the minion to the master (using
       cp.push) to be served up from the salt fileserver. The path for these files takes the following format:

          salt://minion-id/path/to/file

       minion-id is the id of the "source" minion, the one from which the  files  were  pushed  to  the  master.
       /path/to/file is the full path of the file.

       The MinionFS Walkthrough contains a more thorough example of how to use this backend.

   saltenv
       To  distinguish  between  fileserver  environments  and  execution  functions which deal with environment
       variables, fileserver environments are now specified using the saltenv parameter. env  will  continue  to
       work, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

   Grains Caching
       A  caching layer has been added to the Grains system, which can help speed up minion startup. Disabled by
       default, it can be enabled by setting the minion config option grains_cache:

          grains_cache: True

          # Seconds before grains cache is considered to be stale.
          grains_cache_expiration: 300

       If set to True, the grains loader will read from/write to a msgpack-serialized file containing the grains
       data.

       Additional command-line parameters have been added to salt-call, mainly for testing purposes:

       • --skip-grains will completely bypass the grains loader when salt-call is invoked.

       • --refresh-grains-cache will force the grains loader to bypass the grains cache and refresh the  grains,
         writing a new grains cache file.

   Improved Command Logging Control
       When  using  the  cmd  module, either on the CLI or when developing Salt execution modules, a new keyword
       argument output_loglevel allows for greater control over how (or even if) the command and its output  are
       logged. For example:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'tail /var/log/messages' output_loglevel=debug

       The  package management modules (apt, yumpkg, etc.) have been updated to log the copious output generated
       from these commands at loglevel debug.

       NOTE:
          To keep a command from being logged, output_loglevel=quiet can be used.

          Prior to this release, this could be done using quiet=True. This argument is still supported, but will
          be removed in a future Salt release.

   PagerDuty Support
       Initial support for firing events via PagerDuty has been added. See the documentation for  the  pagerduty
       module.

   Virtual Terminal
       Sometimes  the  subprocess  module  is  not  good enough, and, in fact, not even askpass is. This virtual
       terminal is still in its infant childhood, needs quite some love, and was originally created  to  replace
       askpass,  but,  while  developing it, it immediately proved that it could do so much more. It's currently
       used by salt-cloud when bootstrapping salt on clouds which require the use of a password.

   Proxy Minions
       Initial basic support for Proxy Minions is in this release. Documentation can be found here.

       Proxy minions are a developing feature in Salt that enables control of devices that cannot run a  minion.
       Examples  include  network  gear like switches and routers that run a proprietary OS but offer an API, or
       "dumb" devices that just don't have the horsepower or ability to handle a Python VM.

       Proxy minions can be difficult to write, so a simple REST-based  example  proxy  is  included.  A  Python
       bottle-based  webserver  can  be  found at https://github.com/cro/salt-proxy-rest as an endpoint for this
       proxy.

       This is an ALPHA-quality feature. There are a number of issues with it currently, mostly centering around
       process control, logging, and inability to work in a masterless configuration.

          Version 2014.1.9 contained a regression which caused inaccurate Salt version detection, and  thus  was
          never packaged for general release.  This version contains the version detection fix, but is otherwise
          identical to 2014.1.9.

       Version 2014.1.10 is another bugfix release for 2014.1.0.  Changes include:

       • Ensure salt-ssh will not continue if permissions on a temporary directory are not correct.

       • Use the bootstrap script distributed with Salt instead of relying on an external resource

       • Remove unused testing code

       • Ensure salt states are placed into the .salt directory in salt-ssh

       • Use a randomized path for temporary files in a salt-cloud deployment

       • Clean any stale directories to ensure a fresh copy of salt-ssh during a deployment

       Salt 2014.1.10 fixes security issues documented by CVE-2014-3563: "Insecure tmp-file creation in seed.py,
       salt-ssh, and salt-cloud." Upgrading is recommended.

   Salt 0.10.0 Release Notes
       release
              2012-06-16

       0.10.0  has  arrived!  This release comes with MANY bug fixes, and new capabilities which greatly enhance
       performance and reliability. This release is primarily a bug fix release with many  new  tests  and  many
       repaired  bugs.  This  release  also introduces a few new key features which were brought in primarily to
       repair bugs and some limitations found in some of the components of the original architecture.

   Major Features
   Event System
       The Salt Master now comes equipped with a new event system. This event system has replaced  some  of  the
       back  end  of  the  Salt  client  and  offers the beginning of a system which will make plugging external
       applications into Salt. The event system relies on a local ZeroMQ publish socket and other processes  can
       connect  to  this  socket  and  listen  for events. The new events can be easily managed via Salt's event
       library.

   Unprivileged User Updates
       Some enhancements have been added to Salt for running as a user other  than  root.  These  new  additions
       should  make  switching the user that the Salt Master is running as very painless, simply change the user
       option in the master configuration and restart the master, Salt will take care of all of the  particulars
       for you.

   Peer Runner Execution
       Salt  has  long  had  the  peer  communication system used to allow minions to send commands via the salt
       master. 0.10.0 adds a new capability here, now the master can be  configured  to  allow  for  minions  to
       execute Salt runners via the peer_run option in the salt master configuration.

   YAML Parsing Updates
       In  the  past the YAML parser for sls files would return the incorrect numbers when the file mode was set
       with a preceding 0. The YAML parser used in Salt has been modified to no longer convert these number into
       octal but to keep them as the correct value so that sls files can be a little cleaner to write.

   State Call Data Files
       It was requested that the minion keep a local cache of the most recent executed state run. This has  been
       added and now with state runs the data is stored in a msgpack file in the minion's cachedir.

   Turning Off the Job Cache
       A  new option has been added to the master configuration file. In previous releases the Salt client would
       look over the Salt job cache to read in the minion return data. With the addition of the event system the
       Salt client can now watch for events directly from the master worker processes.

       This means that the job cache is no longer a hard requirement. Keep in mind though, that turning off  the
       job cache means that historic job execution data cannot be retrieved.

   Test Updates
   Minion Swarms Are Faster
       To continue our efforts with testing Salt's ability to scale the minionswarm script has been updated. The
       minionswarm  can  now  start  up  minions  much  faster than it could before and comes with a new feature
       allowing modules to be disabled, thus lowering the minion's footprint when  making  a  swarm.  These  new
       updates have allows us to test

          # python minionswarm.py -m 20 --master salt-master

   Many Fixes
       To  get  a good idea for the number of bugfixes this release offers take a look at the closed tickets for
       0.10.0, this is a very substantial update:

   Master and Minion Stability Fixes
       As Salt deployments grow new ways to break Salt are discovered. 0.10.0 comes with a number of  fixes  for
       the minions and master greatly improving Salt stability.

   Salt 0.10.1 Release Notes
       release
              2012-06-19

   Salt 0.10.2 Release Notes
       release
              2012-07-30

       0.10.2  is  out! This release comes with enhancements to the pillar interface, cleaner ways to access the
       salt-call capabilities in the API, minion data caching and the  event  system  has  been  added  to  salt
       minions.

       There  have  also  been  updates  to  the ZeroMQ functions, many more tests (thanks to sponsors, the code
       sprint and many contributors) and a swath of bug fixes.

   Major Features
   Ext Pillar Modules
       The ranks of available Salt modules directories sees a new member in  0.10.2.   With  the  popularity  of
       pillar  a  higher  demand  has  arisen  for  ext_pillar  interfaces  to  be more like regular Salt module
       additions. Now ext_pillar interfaces can be added in the same way as other modules, just drop it into the
       pillar directory in the salt source.

   Minion Events
       In 0.10.0 an event system was added to the Salt master. 0.10.2 adds the event system to  the  minions  as
       well. Now event can be published on a local minion as well.

       The  minions  can  also  send  events  back up to the master. This means that Salt is able to communicate
       individual events from the minions back up to the Master which are not associated with command.

   Minion Data Caching
       When pillar was introduced the landscape for available data was  greatly  enhanced.  The  minion's  began
       sending grain data back to the master on a regular basis.

       The  new  config  option  on  the master called minion_data_cache instructs the Salt master to maintain a
       cache of the minion's grains and pillar data in the cachedir. This option is turned  off  by  default  to
       avoid  hitting  the  disk  more,  but when enabled the cache is used to make grain matching from the salt
       command more powerful, since the minions that will match can be predetermined.

   Backup Files
       By default all files replaced by the file.managed and file.recurse states we simply deleted. 0.10.2  adds
       a new option. By setting the backup option to minion the files are backed up before they are replaced.

       The backed up files are located in the cachedir under the file_backup directory. On a default system this
       will be at: /var/cache/salt/file_backup

   Configuration files
       salt-master  and  salt-minion  automatically  load  additional  configuration  files from master.d/*.conf
       respective minion.d/*.conf where master.d/minion.d is a directory in  the  same  directory  as  the  main
       configuration file.

   Salt Key Verification
       A  number  of  users  complained  that they had inadvertently deleted the wrong salt authentication keys.
       0.10.2 now displays what keys are going to be deleted and verifies  that  they  are  the  keys  that  are
       intended for deletion.

   Key auto-signing
       If  autosign_file  is  specified  in the configuration file incoming keys will be compared to the list of
       keynames in autosign_file. Regular expressions as well as globbing is supported.

       The file must only be writable by the user otherwise the file will be ignored. To  relax  the  permission
       and allow group write access set the permissive_pki_access option.

   Module changes
   Improved OpenBSD support
       New  modules  for  managing services and packages were provided by Joshua Elsasser to further improve the
       support for OpenBSD.

       Existing modules like the disk module were also improved to support OpenBSD.

   SQL Modules
       The MySQL and PostgreSQL modules have both received a number of additions  thanks  to  the  work  of  Avi
       Marcus and Roman Imankulov.

   ZFS Support on FreeBSD
       A  new  ZFS  module  has  been added by Kurtis Velarde for FreeBSD supporting various ZFS operations like
       creating, extending or removing zpools.

   Augeas
       A new Augeas module by Ulrich Dangel for editing and verifying config files.

   Native Debian Service module
       The support for the Debian was further improved with an new service module for Debian  by  Ahmad  Khayyat
       supporting disable and enable.

   Cassandra
       Cassandra  support  has  been added by Adam Garside. Currently only status and diagnostic information are
       supported.

   Networking
       The networking support for RHEL has been improved and  supports  bonding  support  as  well  as  zeroconf
       configuration.

   Monit
       Basic monit support by Kurtis Velarde to control services via monit.

   nzbget
       Basic support for controlling nzbget by Joseph Hall

   Bluetooth
       Baisc  bluez  support  for  managing  and  controlling  Bluetooth  devices.  Supports scanning as well as
       pairing/unpairing by Joseph Hall.

   Test Updates
   Consistency Testing
       Another testing script has been added. A bug was found in pillar when many minions generated pillar  data
       at  the  same  time. The new consist.py script is the tests directory was created to reproduce bugs where
       data should always be consistent.

   Many Fixes
       To get a good idea for the number of bugfixes this release offers take a look at the closed  tickets  for
       0.10.2, this is a very substantial update:

   Master and Minion Stability Fixes
       As  Salt  deployments grow new ways to break Salt are discovered. 0.10.2 comes with a number of fixes for
       the minions and master greatly improving Salt stability.

   Salt 0.10.3 Release Notes
       release
              2012-09-30

       The latest taste of Salt has come, this release has many fixes and feature additions. Modifications  have
       been  made  to  make ZeroMQ connections more reliable, the beginning of the ACL system is in place, a new
       command line parsing system has been added, dynamic  module  distribution  has  become  more  environment
       aware, the new master_finger option and many more!

   Major Features
   ACL System
       The new ACL system has been introduced. The ACL system allows for system users other than root to execute
       salt  commands. Users can be allowed to execute specific commands in the same way that minions are opened
       up to the peer system.

       The configuration value to open up the ACL system is called client_acl and is configured like so:

          client_acl:
            fred:
              - test..*
              - pkg.list_pkgs

       Where fred is allowed access to functions in the test module and to the pkg.list_pkgs function.

   Master Finger Option
       The master_finger option has been added to improve the security of minion provisioning. The master_finger
       option allows for the fingerprint of the master public key to be set in the configuration file to  double
       verify  that  the  master is valid. This option was added in response to a motivation to pre-authenticate
       the master when provisioning new minions to help prevent man in the middle attacks in some situations.

   Salt Key Fingerprint Generation
       The ability to generate fingerprints of keys used by Salt has been added  to  salt-key.  The  new  option
       finger accepts the name of the key to generate and display a fingerprint for.

          salt-key -F master

       Will display the fingerprints for the master public and private keys.

   Parsing System
       Pedro  Algavio,  aka  s0undt3ch,  has  added a substantial update to the command line parsing system that
       makes the help message output  much  cleaner  and  easier  to  search  through.  Salt  parsers  now  have
       --versions-report besides usual --version info which you can provide when reporting any issues found.

   Key Generation
       We  have reduced the requirements needed for salt-key to generate minion keys.  You're no longer required
       to have salt configured and its common directories created just to generate keys. This might prove useful
       if you're batch creating keys to pre-load on minions.

   Startup States
       A few configuration options have been added which allow for states to  be  run  when  the  minion  daemon
       starts.  This can be a great advantage when deploying with Salt because the minion can apply states right
       when it first runs. To use startup states set the startup_states configuration option on  the  minion  to
       highstate.

   New Exclude Declaration
       Some  users have asked about adding the ability to ensure that other sls files or ids are excluded from a
       state run. The exclude statement will delete all of the data loaded from the specified sls file  or  will
       delete the specified id:

          exclude:
            - sls: http
            - id: /etc/vimrc

   Max Open Files
       While  we're  currently  unable  to  properly  handle  ZeroMQ's  abort signals when the max open files is
       reached, due to the way that's handled on ZeroMQ's, we have  minimized  the  chances  of  this  happening
       without at least warning the user.

   More State Output Options
       Some  major  changes have been made to the state output system. In the past state return data was printed
       in a very verbose fashion and only states that failed or made changes were printed by  default.  Now  two
       options  can  be  passed to the master and minion configuration files to change the behavior of the state
       output. State output can be set to verbose (default) or non-verbose with the state_verbose option:

          state_verbose: False

       It is noteworthy that the state_verbose option used to be set to False by default but has been changed to
       True by default in 0.10.3 due to many requests for the change.

       Te next option to be aware of new and called state_output. This option allows for the state output to  be
       set to full (default) or terse.

       The full output is the standard state output, but the new terse output will print only one line per state
       making the output much easier to follow when executing a large state system.

          state_output: terse

   state.file.append Improvements
       The  salt  state file.append() tries not to append existing text. Previously the matching check was being
       made line by line. While this kind of check might be enough for most cases, if the  text  being  appended
       was  multi-line, the check would not work properly. This issue is now properly handled, the match is done
       as a whole ignoring any white space addition or removal except inside commas.  For those  thinking  that,
       in  order  to  properly  match over multiple lines, salt will load the whole file into memory, that's not
       true. For most cases this is not important but an erroneous order to read a 4GB  file,  if  not  properly
       handled,  like  salt  does,  could make salt chew that amount of memory.  Salt has a buffered file reader
       which will keep in memory a maximum of 256KB and iterates over the file in chunks of 32KB to test for the
       match,  more  than  enough,  if  not,  explain  your  usage  on  a  ticket.  With   this   change,   also
       salt.modules.file.contains(),  salt.modules.file.contains_regex(),  salt.modules.file.contains_glob() and
       salt.utils.find now do the searching and/or matching using the buffered chunks approach explained above.

       Two new keyword arguments were also added, makedirs, and source.  The first,  makedirs  will  create  the
       necessary  directories  in  order  to  append  to the specified file, of course, it only applies if we're
       trying to append to a non-existing file on a non-existing directory:

          /tmp/salttest/file-append-makedirs:
              file.append:
                  text: foo
                  makedirs: True

       The second, source, allows one to append the contents of a file instead of specifying the text.

          /tmp/salttest/file-append-source:

          file.append:
              - source: salt://testfile

   Security Fix
       A timing vulnerability was uncovered in the code which decrypts the AES messages sent over  the  network.
       This has been fixed and upgrading is strongly recommended.

   Salt 0.10.4 Release Notes
       release
              2012-10-23

       Salt  0.10.4  is  a  monumental release for the Salt team, with two new module systems, many additions to
       allow granular access to Salt, improved platform support and much more.

       This release is also exciting because we have been able to shorten the release  cycle  back  to  under  a
       month. We are working hard to keep up the aggressive pace and look forward to having releases happen more
       frequently!

       This release also includes a serious security fix and all users are very strongly recommended to upgrade.
       As usual, upgrade the master first, and then the minion to ensure that the process is smooth.

   Major Features
   External Authentication System
       The  new  external  authentication  system  allows  for  Salt  to  pass  through  authentication  to  any
       authentication system to determine if a user has permission to execute  a  Salt  command.  The  Unix  PAM
       system is the first supported system with more to come!

       The  external  authentication  system  allows for specific users to be granted access to execute specific
       functions on specific minions. Access is configured in the master configuration file, and  uses  the  new
       access control system:

          external_auth:
            pam:
              thatch:
                - 'web*':
                  - test.*
                  - network.*

       The  configuration  above  allows the user thatch to execute functions in the test and network modules on
       minions that match the web* target.

   Access Control System
       All Salt systems can now be configured to grant access to non-administrative users in a granular way. The
       old configuration continues to work. Specific functions  can  be  opened  up  to  specific  minions  from
       specific  users in the case of external auth and client ACLs, and for specific minions in the case of the
       peer system.

       Access controls are configured like this:

          client_acl:
            fred:
              - web\*:
                - pkg.list_pkgs
                - test.*
                - apache.*

   Target by Network
       A new matcher has been added to the system which allows for minions to be targeted by network.  This  new
       matcher  can  be  called  with  the  -S  flag on the command line and is available in all places that the
       matcher system is available. Using it is simple:

          $ salt -S '192.168.1.0/24' test.ping
          $ salt -S '192.168.1.100' test.ping

   Nodegroup Nesting
       Previously a nodegroup was limited by not being able to include another  nodegroup,  this  restraint  has
       been lifted and now nodegroups will be expanded within other nodegroups with the N@ classifier.

   Salt Key Delete by Glob
       The  ability  to  delete minion keys by glob has been added to salt-key.  To delete all minion keys whose
       minion name starts with 'web':

          $ salt-key -d 'web*'

   Master Tops System
       The external_nodes system has been upgraded to allow for modular subsystems to be used  to  generate  the
       top file data for a highstate run.

       The  external_nodes  option  still  works  but  will  be  deprecated  in  the  future in favor of the new
       master_tops option.

       Example of using master_tops:

          master_tops:
            ext_nodes: cobbler-external-nodes

   Next Level Solaris Support
       A lot of work has been  put  into  improved  Solaris  support  by  Romeo  Theriault.   Packaging  modules
       (pkgadd/pkgrm and pkgutil) and states, cron support and user and group management have all been added and
       improved  upon. These additions along with SMF (Service Management Facility) service support and improved
       Solaris grain detection in 0.10.3 add up to Salt becoming a great tool to manage Solaris servers with.

   Security
       A vulnerability in the security handshake was found and has been repaired, old minions should be able  to
       connect to a new master, so as usual, the master should be updated first and then the minions.

   Pillar Updates
       The  pillar  communication has been updated to add some extra levels of verification so that the intended
       minion is the only one allowed to gather the data. Once all minions and the master are  updated  to  salt
       0.10.4  please  activate  pillar 2 by changing the pillar_version in the master config to 2. This will be
       set to 2 by default in a future release.

   Salt 0.10.5 Release Notes
       release
              2012-11-15

       Salt 0.10.5 is ready, and  comes  with  some  great  new  features.  A  few  more  interfaces  have  been
       modularized,  like  the  outputter  system.  The job cache system has been made more powerful and can now
       store and retrieve jobs archived in external databases. The returner system has been  extended  to  allow
       minions to easily retrieve data from a returner interface.

       As usual, this is an exciting release, with many noteworthy additions!

   Major Features
   External Job Cache
       The external job cache is a system which allows for a returner interface to also act as a job cache. This
       system  is  intended  to allow users to store job information in a central location for longer periods of
       time and to make the act of looking up information from jobs executed on other minions easier.

       Currently the external job cache is supported via the mongo and redis returners:

          ext_job_cache: redis
          redis.host: salt

       Once the external job cache is turned on the new ret module can be used on the minions to retrieve return
       information from the job cache. This can be a great way  for  minions  to  respond  and  react  to  other
       minions.

   OpenStack Additions
       OpenStack  integration with Salt has been moving forward at a blistering pace.  The new nova, glance, and
       keystone modules represent the beginning of ongoing OpenStack integration.

       The Salt team has had many conversations with core OpenStack developers and  is  working  on  linking  to
       OpenStack in powerful new ways.

   Wheel System
       A  new  API  was added to the Salt Master which allows the master to be managed via an external API. This
       new system allows Salt API to easily hook into the Salt Master and manage configs, modify the state tree,
       manage the pillar and more. The main motivation for the wheel system is to enable features needed in  the
       upcoming web UI so users can manage the master just as easily as they manage minions.

       The  wheel  system has also been hooked into the external auth system. This allows specific users to have
       granular access to manage components of the Salt Master.

   Render Pipes
       Jack Kuan has added a substantial new feature. The render pipes system allows Salt to  treat  the  render
       system  like  unix pipes. This new system enables sls files to be passed through specific render engines.
       While the default renderer is still recommended, different engines can now be more easily merged.  So  to
       pipe the output of Mako used in YAML use this shebang line:

       #!mako|yaml

   Salt Key Overhaul
       The  Salt Key system was originally developed as only a CLI interface, but as time went on it was pressed
       into becoming a clumsy API. This release marks a complete  overhaul  of  Salt  Key.  Salt  Key  has  been
       rewritten  to  function  purely from an API and to use the outputter system. The benefit here is that the
       outputter system works much more cleanly with Salt Key now, and the internals of Salt  Key  can  be  used
       much more cleanly.

   Modular Outputters
       The  outputter  system  is now loaded in a modular way. This means that output systems can be more easily
       added by dropping a python file down on the master that contains the function output.

   Gzip from Fileserver
       Gzip compression has been added as an option to the cp.get_file and cp.get_dir commands. This  will  make
       file transfers more efficient and faster, especially over slower network links.

   Unified Module Configuration
       In  past  releases of Salt, the minions needed to be configured for certain modules to function. This was
       difficult because it required pre-configuring the minions. 0.10.5  changes  this  by  making  all  module
       configs on minions search the master config file for values.

       Now  if  a  single database server is needed, then it can be defined in the master config and all minions
       will become aware of the configuration value.

   Salt Call Enhancements
       The salt-call command has been updated in a few ways. Now, salt-call can take the --return option to send
       the data to a returner. Also, salt-call now reports executions in the minion proc system, this allows the
       master to be aware of the operation salt-call is running.

   Death to pub_refresh and sub_timeout
       The old configuration values pub_refresh and sub_timeout have been removed.  These options were in  place
       to  alleviate problems found in earlier versions of ZeroMQ which have since been fixed. The continued use
       of these options has proven to cause problems with message passing and have been completely removed.

   Git Revision Versions
       When running Salt directly from git (for testing or development, of course) it has been difficult to know
       exactly what code is being executed. The new versioning system will detect the git revision when building
       and how many commits have been made since the last release. A release from git will look like this:

       0.10.4-736-gec74d69

   Svn Module Addition
       Anthony Cornehl (twinshadow) contributed a module that adds  Subversion  support  to  Salt.   This  great
       addition helps round out Salt's VCS support.

   Noteworthy Changes
   Arch Linux Defaults to Systemd
       Arch Linux recently changed to use systemd by default and discontinued support for init scripts. Salt has
       followed suit and defaults to systemd now for managing services in Arch.

   Salt, Salt Cloud and Openstack
       With  the  releases  of  Salt  0.10.5 and Salt Cloud 0.8.2, OpenStack becomes the first (non-OS) piece of
       software to include support both on the user level (with Salt Cloud) and the admin level (with Salt).  We
       are excited to continue to extend support of other platforms at this level.

   Salt 0.11.0 Release Notes
       release
              2012-12-14

       Salt 0.11.0 is here, with some highly sought after and exciting features.  These features include the new
       overstate  system,  the reactor system, a new state run scope component called __context__, the beginning
       of the search system (still needs a great deal of work), multiple package states, the MySQL returner  and
       a better system to arbitrarily reference outputters.

       It  is  also  noteworthy that we are changing how we mark release numbers. For the life of the project we
       have been pushing every release with features and fixes as point releases. We will now be releasing point
       releases for only bug fixes on a more regular basis and major feature releases on a slightly less regular
       basis. This means that the next release will be a bugfix only release with a version  number  of  0.11.1.
       The next feature release will be named 0.12.0 and will mark the end of life for the 0.11 series.

   Major Features
   OverState
       The  overstate  system  is  a  simple  way  to  manage  rolling state executions across many minions. The
       overstate allows for a state to depend on the successful completion of another state.

   Reactor System
       The new reactor system allows for a reactive logic engine to be  created  which  can  respond  to  events
       within  a  salted environment. The reactor system uses sls files to match events fired on the master with
       actions, enabling Salt to react to problems in an infrastructure.

       Your load-balanced group of webservers is under extra load? Spin up a new VM and add  it  to  the  group.
       Your  fileserver  is  filling  up?  Send  a  notification to your sysadmin on call. The possibilities are
       endless!

   Module Context
       A new component has been added to the module loader system. The module context is a data  structure  that
       can hold objects for a given scope within the module.

       This  allows  for  components that are initialized to be stored in a persistent context which can greatly
       speed up ongoing connections. Right now the best example can be found in the cp execution module.

   Multiple Package Management
       A long desired feature has been added to package  management.  By  definition  Salt  States  have  always
       installed packages one at a time. On most platforms this is not the fastest way to install packages. Erik
       Johnson, aka terminalmage, has modified the package modules for many providers and added new capabilities
       to  install  groups  of  packages. These package groups can be defined as a list of packages available in
       repository servers:

          python_pkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - python-mako
                - whoosh
                - python-git

       or specify based on the location of specific packages:

          python_pkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - sources:
                - python-mako: http://some-rpms.org/python-mako.rpm
                - whoosh: salt://whoosh/whoosh.rpm
                - python-git: ftp://companyserver.net/python-git.rpm

   Search System
       The bones to the search system have been added. This is a very basic interface  that  allows  for  search
       backends  to  be added as search modules. The first supported search module is the whoosh search backend.
       Right now only the basic paths for the search  system  are  in  place,  making  this  very  experimental.
       Further  development  will  involve improving the search routines and index routines for whoosh and other
       search backends.

       The search system has been made to allow for searching  through  all  of  the  state  and  pillar  files,
       configuration files and all return data from minion executions.

   Notable Changes
       All  previous  versions  of  Salt have shared many directories between the master and minion. The default
       locations for keys, cached data and sockets has been shared  by  master  and  minion.  This  has  created
       serious  problems  with running a master and a minion on the same systems. 0.11.0 changes the defaults to
       be separate directories. Salt will also attempt to migrate all of the old key data into the  correct  new
       directories,  but  if  it  is not successful it may need to be done manually. If your keys exhibit issues
       after updating make sure that they have been moved from /etc/salt/pki to /etc/salt/pki/{master,minion}.

       The old setup will look like this:

          /etc/salt/pki
          |-- master.pem
          |-- master.pub

   Salt 0.12.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-01-15

       Another feature release of Salt is here! Some exciting additions are included with more ways to make salt
       modular and even easier management of the salt file server.

   Major Features
   Modular Fileserver Backend
       The  new  modular fileserver backend allows for any external system to be used as a salt file server. The
       main benefit here is that it is now possible to tell the master to directly use a git remote location, or
       many git remote locations, automatically mapping git branches and tags to salt environments.

   Windows is First Class!
       A new Salt Windows installer is now available! Much work has been put in to improve Windows support. With
       this much easier method of getting Salt on your Windows machines,  we  hope  even  more  development  and
       progress  will  occur.  Please  file bug reports on the Salt GitHub repo issue tracker so we can continue
       improving.

       One thing that is missing on Windows that Salt uses extensively is  a  software  package  manager  and  a
       software  package  repository.  The  Salt  pkg  state  allows sys admins to install software across their
       infrastructure and across operating systems. Software on Windows can now be managed in the same way.  The
       SaltStack  team  built  a  package manager that interfaces with the standard Salt pkg module to allow for
       installing and removing software on Windows. In addition, a software package repository has been built on
       top of the Salt fileserver. A small YAML file provides the information necessary for the package  manager
       to install and remove software.

       An interesting feature of the new Salt Windows software package repository is that one or more remote git
       repositories  can  supplement  the master's local repository. The repository can point to software on the
       master's fileserver or on an HTTP, HTTPS, or ftp server.

   New Default Outputter
       Salt displays data to the terminal via the outputter system. For a long time the  default  outputter  for
       Salt  has been the python pretty print library.  While this has been a generally reasonable outputter, it
       did have many failings.  The new default outputter is called "nested", it recursively scans  return  data
       structures and prints them out cleanly.

       If  the  result  of the new nested outputter is not desired any other outputter can be used via the --out
       option, or the output option can be set in the master and minion configs to change the default outputter.

   Internal Scheduler
       The internal Salt scheduler is a new capability which allows  for  functions  to  be  executed  at  given
       intervals  on  the minion, and for runners to be executed at given intervals on the master. The scheduler
       allows for sequences such as executing state runs (locally on the minion or remotely via an overstate) or
       continually gathering system data to be run at given intervals.

       The configuration is simple, add the schedule option to the master or minion config and specify  jobs  to
       run, this in the master config will execute the state.over runner every 60 minutes:

          schedule:
            overstate:
              function: state.over
              minutes: 60

       This example for the minion configuration will execute a highstate every 30 minutes:

          schedule:
            highstate:
              function: state.highstate
              minutes: 30

   Optional DSL for SLS Formulas
       Jack  Kuan,  our  renderer  expert,  has  created something that is astonishing.  Salt, now comes with an
       optional Python based DSL, this is a very powerful interface that makes writing SLS files in pure  python
       easier than it was with the raw py renderer. As usual this can be used with the renderer shebang line, so
       a  single  sls  can  be written with the DSL if pure python power is needed while keeping other sls files
       simple with YAML.

   Set Grains Remotely
       A new execution function and state module have been added that allows for grains to be set on the minion.
       Now grains can be set via a remote  execution  or  via  states.  Use  the  grains.present  state  or  the
       grains.setval execution functions.

   Gentoo Additions
       Major  additions  to  Gentoo  specific  components have been made. The encompasses executions modules and
       states ranging from supporting the make.conf file to tools like layman.

              2013-01-21

   Salt 0.13.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-02-12

       The lucky number 13 has turned the corner! From CLI  notifications  when  quitting  a  salt  command,  to
       substantial improvements on Windows, Salt 0.13.0 has arrived!

   Major Features
   Improved file.recurse Performance
       The file.recurse system has been deployed and used in a vast array of situations. Fixes to the file state
       and  module  have  led  towards  opening  up  new ways of running file.recurse to make it faster. Now the
       file.recurse state will download fewer files and will run substantially faster.

   Windows Improvements
       Minion stability on Windows has improved. Many file operations, including file.recurse, have  been  fixed
       and  improved.  The  network  module  works  better,  to include network.interfaces. Both 32bit and 64bit
       installers are now available.

   Nodegroup Targeting in Peer System
       In the past, nodegroups were not available for targeting via the  peer  system.   This  has  been  fixed,
       allowing the new nodegroup expr_form argument for the publish.publish function:
          salt-call publish.publish group1 test.ping expr_form=nodegroup

   Blacklist Additions
       Additions allowing more granular blacklisting are available in 0.13.0. The ability to blacklist users and
       functions  in  client_acl  have  been  added,  as  well as the ability to exclude state formulas from the
       command line.

   Command Line Pillar Embedding
       Pillar data can now be embedded on the command line when  calling  state.sls  and  state.highstate.  This
       allows  for on the fly changes or settings to pillar and makes parameterizing state formulas even easier.
       This is done via the keyword argument:

          salt '*' state.highstate pillar='{"cheese": "spam"}'

       The above example will extend the existing pillar to hold the cheese key with a value  of  spam.  If  the
       cheese key is already specified in the minion's pillar then it will be overwritten.

   CLI Notifications
       In  the  past  hitting  ctrl-C and quitting from the salt command would just drop to a shell prompt, this
       caused confusion with users who expected the remote executions to also quit. Now a message  is  displayed
       showing what command can be used to track the execution and what the job id is for the execution.

   Version Specification in Multiple-Package States
       Versions  can  now  be  specified  within  multiple-package pkg.installed states. An example can be found
       below:

          mypkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - foo
                - bar: 1.2.3-4
                - baz

   Noteworthy Changes
       The configuration subsystem in Salt has been overhauled to make the opts dict used by  Salt  applications
       more  portable,  the  problem is that this is an incompatible change with salt-cloud, and salt-cloud will
       need to be updated to the latest git to work with Salt 0.13.0. Salt Cloud 0.8.5 will  also  require  Salt
       0.13.0 or later to function.

       The  SaltStack  team is sorry for the inconvenience here, we work hard to make sure these sorts of things
       do not happen, but sometimes hard changes get in.

   Salt 0.14.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-03-23

       Salt 0.14.0 is here! This release was held up primarily by PyCon, Scale, and illness,  but  has  arrived!
       0.14.0  comes with many new features and is breaking ground for Salt in the area of cloud management with
       the introduction of Salt providing basic cloud controller functionality.

   Major Features
   Salt - As a Cloud Controller
       This is the first primitive inroad to using Salt as a cloud controller is available in 0.14.0. Be advised
       that this is alpha, only tested in a few very small environments.

       The cloud controller is built using kvm and libvirt for the hypervisors.  Hypervisors are autodetected as
       minions and only need to have libvirt running and kvm installed to function. The  features  of  the  Salt
       cloud controller are as follows:

          • Basic vm discovery and reporting

          • Creation of new virtual machines

          • Seeding virtual machines with Salt via qemu-nbd or libguestfs

          • Live migration (shared and non shared storage)

          • Delete existing VMs

       It  is  noteworthy  that  this feature is still Alpha, meaning that all rights are reserved to change the
       interface if needs be in future releases!

   Libvirt State
       One of the problems with libvirt is management of  certificates  needed  for  live  migration  and  cross
       communication  between  hypervisors. The new libvirt state makes the Salt Master hold a CA and manage the
       signing and distribution of keys onto hypervisors, just add a call  to  the  libvirt  state  in  the  sls
       formulas used to set up a hypervisor:

          libvirt_keys:
            libvirt.keys

   New get Functions
       An  easier  way to manage data has been introduced. The pillar, grains, and config execution modules have
       been extended with the new get function. This function works much in the same way as the get method in  a
       python dict, but with an enhancement, nested dict components can be extracted using a : delimiter.

       If a structure like this is in pillar:

          foo:
            bar:
              baz: quo

       Extracting it from the raw pillar in an sls formula or file template is done this way:

          {{ pillar['foo']['bar']['baz'] }}

       Now  with  the  new  get  function  the data can be safely gathered and a default can be set allowing the
       template to fall back if the value is not available:

          {{ salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz', 'qux') }}

       This makes handling nested structures much easier, and defaults can be cleanly set. This new function  is
       being used extensively in the new formulae repository of salt sls formulas.

   Salt 0.15.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-05-03

       The many new features of Salt 0.15.0 have arrived! Salt 0.15.0 comes with many smaller features and a few
       larger ones.

       These features range from better debugging tools to the new Salt Mine system.

   Major Features
   The Salt Mine
       First  there  was the peer system, allowing for commands to be executed from a minion to other minions to
       gather data live. Then there was the external job cache for storing and accessing long term data. Now the
       middle ground is being filled in with the Salt Mine. The Salt Mine is a system used to execute  functions
       on  a regular basis on minions and then store only the most recent data from the functions on the master,
       then the data is looked up via targets.

       The mine caches data that is public to all minions, so when a minion posts data to  the  mine  all  other
       minions can see it.

   IPV6 Support
       0.13.0  saw the addition of initial IPV6 support but errors were encountered and it needed to be stripped
       out. This time the code covers more cases and must be explicitly enabled. But the support  is  much  more
       extensive than before.

   Copy Files From Minions to the Master
       Minions have long been able to copy files down from the master file server, but until now files could not
       be easily copied from the minion up to the master.

       A new function called cp.push can push files from the minions up to the master server. The uploaded files
       are then cached on the master in the master cachedir for each minion.

   Better Template Debugging
       Template errors have long been a burden when writing states and pillar. 0.15.0 will now send the compiled
       template data to the debug log, this makes tracking down the intermittent stage templates much easier. So
       running state.sls or state.highstate with -l debug will now print out the rendered templates in the debug
       information.

   State Event Firing
       The  state  system is now more closely tied to the master's event bus. Now when a state fails the failure
       will be fired on the master event bus so that the reactor can respond to it.

   Major Syndic Updates
       The Syndic system has been basically re-written. Now  it  runs  in  a  completely  asynchronous  way  and
       functions  primarily as an event broker. This means that the events fired on the syndic are now pushed up
       to the higher level master instead of the old method used  which  waited  for  the  client  libraries  to
       return.

       This  makes the syndic much more accurate and powerful, it also means that all events fired on the syndic
       master make it up the pipe as well making a reactor on the higher level master able to react  to  minions
       further downstream.

   Peer System Updates
       The  Peer  System  has been updated to run using the client libraries instead of firing directly over the
       publish bus. This makes the peer system much more consistent and reliable.

   Minion Key Revocation
       In the past when a minion was decommissioned the key needed to be manually deleted on the master, but now
       a function on the minion can be used to revoke the calling minion's key:

          $ salt-call saltutil.revoke_auth

   Function Return Codes
       Functions can now be assigned numeric return codes to determine if the  function  executed  successfully.
       While  not  all functions have been given return codes, many have and it is an ongoing effort to fill out
       all functions that might return a non-zero return code.

   Functions in Overstate
       The overstate system was originally created to just manage the execution of states, but with the addition
       of return codes to functions, requisite logic can now be used with respect to the overstate.  This  means
       that an overstate stage can now run single functions instead of just state executions.

   Pillar Error Reporting
       Previously  if  errors  surfaced  in pillar, then the pillar would consist of only an empty dict. Now all
       data that was successfully rendered stays in pillar and the render  error  is  also  made  available.  If
       errors are found in the pillar, states will refuse to run.

   Using Cached State Data
       Sometimes  states  are executed purely to maintain a specific state rather than to update states with new
       configs. This is grounds for the new cached state system. By adding cache=True to a state call the  state
       will  not be generated fresh from the master but the last state data to be generated will be used.  If no
       previous state data is available then fresh data will be generated.

   Monitoring States
       The new monitoring states system has been started. This is very young but allows for states to be used to
       configure monitoring routines. So far only one monitoring state is available, the disk.status  state.  As
       more capabilities are added to Salt UI the monitoring capabilities of Salt will continue to be expanded.

   Salt 0.15.1 Release Notes
       release
              2013-05-08

       The 0.15.1 release has been posted, this release includes fixes to a number of bugs in 0.15.1 and a three
       security patches.

   Security Updates
       A number of security issues have been resolved via the 0.15.1 release.

   Path Injection in Minion IDs
       Salt  masters  did  not  properly  validate  the  id of a connecting minion. This can lead to an attacker
       uploading files to the master in arbitrary locations.  In particular this  can  be  used  to  bypass  the
       manual validation of new unknown minions. Exploiting this vulnerability does not require authentication.

       This issue affects all known versions of Salt.

       This issue was reported by Ronald Volgers.

   Patch
       The issue is fixed in Salt 0.15.1. Updated packages are available in the usual locations.

       Specific commits:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/e200b8a7ff53780124e08d2bdefde7587e52bfca

   RSA Key Generation Fault
       RSA  key  generation was done incorrectly, leading to very insecure keys. It is recommended to regenerate
       all RSA keys.

       This issue can be used to impersonate Salt masters or minions, or decrypt any transferred data.

       This issue can only be exploited by attackers who are able to observe  or  modify  traffic  between  Salt
       minions and the legitimate Salt master.

       A tool was included in 0.15.1 to assist in mass key regeneration, the manage.regen_keys runner.

       This issue affects all known versions of Salt.

       This issue was reported by Ronald Volgers.

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/5dd304276ba5745ec21fc1e6686a0b28da29e6fc

   Command Injection Via ext_pillar
       Arbitrary  shell  commands  could  be  executed  on the master by an authenticated minion through options
       passed when requesting a pillar.

       Ext pillar options have been restricted to only allow safe external pillars to be called when prompted by
       the minion.

       This issue affects Salt versions from 0.14.0 to 0.15.0.

   Salt 0.16.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-07-01

       The 0.16.0 release is an exciting one, with new features  in  master  redundancy,  and  a  new,  powerful
       requisite.

   Major Features
   Multi-Master
       This  new  capability  allows  for a minion to be actively connected to multiple salt masters at the same
       time. This allows for multiple masters to send out commands to minions and for minions  to  automatically
       reconnect to masters that have gone down. A tutorial is available to help get started here:

       Multi Master Tutorial

   Prereq, the New Requisite
       The  new  prereq  requisite  is  very  powerful! It allows for states to execute based on a state that is
       expected to make changes in the future. This allows for a change on the system to be preempted by another
       execution. A good example is needing to shut down a service before modifying files  associated  with  it,
       allowing,  for  instance,  a  webserver to be shut down allowing a load balancer to stop sending requests
       while server side code is updated. In this case, the prereq will only run  if  changes  are  expected  to
       happen  in  the  prerequired  state, and the prerequired state will always run after the prereq state and
       only if the prereq state succeeds.

   Peer System Improvements
       The peer system has been revamped to make it more reliable, faster, and like the rest of Salt, async. The
       peer calls when an updated minion and master are used together will be much faster!

   Relative Includes
       The ability to include an sls relative to the defined sls has been added, the new  syntax  id  documented
       here:

       Includes

   More State Output Options
       The state_output option in the past only supported full and terse, 0.16.0 add the mixed and changes modes
       further refining how states are sent to users' eyes.

   Improved Windows Support
       Support for Salt on Windows continues to improve. Software management on Windows has become more seamless
       with Linux/UNIX/BSD software management.  Installed software is now recognized by the short names defined
       in  the  repository  SLS. This makes it possible to run salt '*' pkg.version firefox and get back results
       from Windows and non-Windows minions alike.

       When templating files on Windows, Salt will now correctly use  Windows  appropriate  line  endings.  This
       makes it much easier to edit and consume files on Windows.

       When  using  the  cmd state the shell option now allows for specifying Windows Powershell as an alternate
       shell to execute cmd.run and cmd.script.  This opens up Salt to all the power of Windows  Powershell  and
       its advanced Windows management capabilities.

       Several  fixes  and  optimizations were added for the Windows networking modules, especially when working
       with IPv6.

       A system module was added that makes it easy to restart and shutdown Windows minions.

       The Salt Minion will now look for its config file in c:\salt\conf by default. This  means  that  it's  no
       longer  necessary  to  specify the -c option to specify the location of the config file when starting the
       Salt Minion on Windows in a terminal.

   Multiple Targets for pkg.removed, pkg.purged States
       Both pkg.removed and pkg.purged now support the pkgs argument, which allow for multiple  packages  to  be
       targeted in a single state. This, as in pkg.installed, helps speed up these states by reducing the number
       of times that the package management tools (apt, yum, etc.) need to be run.

   Random Times in Cron States
       The temporal parameters in cron.present states (minute, hour, etc.) can now be randomized by using random
       instead  of  a specific value. For example, by using the random keyword in the minute parameter of a cron
       state, the same cron job can be pushed to hundreds or thousands of hosts,  and  they  would  each  use  a
       randomly-generated  minute.  This can be helpful when the cron job accesses a network resource, and it is
       not desirable for all hosts to run the job concurrently.

          /path/to/cron/script:
            cron.present:
              - user: root
              - minute: random
              - hour: 2

       Since Salt assumes a value of * for unspecified temporal parameters, adding a parameter to the state  and
       setting  it to random will change that value from * to a randomized numeric value. However, if that field
       in the cron entry on the minion already contains a numeric value, then using the random keyword will  not
       modify it.

   Confirmation Prompt on Key Acceptance
       When  accepting  new keys with salt-key -a minion-id or salt-key -A, there is now a prompt that will show
       the affected keys and ask for confirmation before proceeding. This prompt can be bypassed using the -y or
       --yes command line argument, as with other salt-key commands.

   Support for Setting Password Hashes on BSD Minions
       FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD all now support setting passwords in user.present states.

   Salt 0.16.1 Release Notes
       release
              2013-07-29

   Salt 0.16.2 Release Notes
       release
              2013-08-01

       Version 0.16.2 is a bugfix release for 0.16.0, and contains a number of fixes.

   Windows
       • Only allow Administrator's group and SYSTEM user access to C:\salt. This eliminates  a  race  condition
         where  a  non-admin  user  could  modify a template or managed file before it is executed by the minion
         (which is running as an elevated user), thus avoiding a  potential  escalation  of  privileges.  (issue
         #6361)

   Grains
       • Fixed detection of virtual grain on OpenVZ hardware nodes

       • Gracefully handle lsb_release data when it is enclosed in quotes

       • LSB grains are now prefixed with lsb_distrib_ instead of simply lsb_.  The old naming is not preserved,
         so SLS may be affected.

       • Improved grains detection on MacOS

   Pillar
       • Don't try to load git_pillar if not enabled in master config (issue #6052)

       • Functions pillar.item and pillar.items added for parity with grains.item/grains.items. The old function
         pillar.data is preserved for backwards compatibility.

       • Fixed minion traceback when Pillar SLS is malformed (issue #5910)

   Peer Publishing
       • More gracefully handle improperly quoted publish commands (issue #5958)

       • Fixed traceback when timeout specified via the CLI fo publish.publish, publish.full_data (issue #5959)

       • Fixed unintended change in output of publish.publish (issue #5928)

   Minion
       • Fixed salt-key usage in minionswarm script

       • Quieted  warning  about  SALT_MINION_CONFIG environment variable on minion startup and for CLI commands
         run via salt-call (issue #5956)

       • Added minion config parameter random_reauth_delay to  stagger  re-auth  attempts  when  the  minion  is
         waiting  for  the  master  to  approve  its  public  key.  This  helps  prevent  SYN flooding in larger
         environments.

   User/Group Management
       • Implement previously-ignored unique option for user.present states in FreeBSD

       • Report in state output when a group.present state attempts to use a gid in use by another group

       • Fixed regression that prevents a user.present state to set the password  hash  to  the  system  default
         (i.e. an unset password)

       • Fixed multiple group.present states with the same group (issue #6439)

   File Management
       • Fixed file.mkdir setting incorrect permissions (issue #6033)

       • Fixed cleanup of source files for templates when /tmp is in file_roots (issue #6118)

       • Fixed caching of zero-byte files when a non-empty file was previously cached at the same path

       • Added HTTP authentication support to the cp module (issue #5641)

       • Diffs are now suppressed when binary files are changed

   Package/Repository Management
       • Fixed traceback when there is only one target for pkg.latest states

       • Fixed regression in detection of virtual packages (apt)

       • Limit number of pkg database refreshes to once per state.sls/state.highstate

       • YUM: Allow 32-bit packages with arches other than i686 to be managed on 64-bit systems (issue #6299)

       • Fixed incorrect reporting in pkgrepo.managed states (issue #5517)

       • Fixed  32-bit binary package installs on 64-bit RHEL-based distros, and added proper support for 32-bit
         packages on 64-bit Debian-based distros (issue #6303)

       • Fixed issue where requisites were inadvertently being put into YUM repo files (issue #6471)

   Service Management
       • Fixed inaccurate reporting of results in service.running states when the service fails to start  (issue
         #5894)

       • Fixed  handling  of  custom  initscripts  in RHEL-based distros so that they are immediately available,
         negating the need for a second state run to manage the service that the initscript controls

   Networking
       • Function network.hwaddr renamed to network.hw_addr to match network.ip_addrs and network.ip_addrs6. All
         three functions also now work without the underscore in the name, as well.

       • Fixed traceback in bridge.show when interface is not present (issue #6326)

   SSH
       • Fixed incorrect result reporting for some ssh_known_hosts.present states

       • Fixed inaccurate reporting when ssh_auth.present states are run with test=True, when  rsa/dss  is  used
         for the enc param instead of ssh-rsa/ssh-dss (issue #5374)

   pip
       • Properly handle -f lines in pip freeze output

       • Fixed regression in pip.installed states with specifying a requirements file (issue #6003)

       • Fixed use of editable argument in pip.installed states (issue #6025)

       • Deprecated runas parameter in execution function calls, in favor of user

   MySQL
       • Allow  specification  of  MySQL  connection  arguments  via the CLI, overriding/bypassing minion config
         params

       • Allow mysql_user.present states to set a passwordless login (issue #5550)

       • Fixed endless loop when mysql.processlist is run (issue #6297)

   PostgreSQL
       • Fixed traceback in postgres.user_list (issue #6352)

   Miscellaneous
       • Don't allow npm states to be used if npm module is not available

       • Fixed alternatives.install states for which the target is a symlink (issue #6162)

       • Fixed traceback in sysbench module (issue #6175)

       • Fixed traceback in job cache

       • Fixed tempfile cleanup for windows

       • Fixed issue where SLS files using the pydsl renderer were not being run

       • Fixed issue where returners were being passed incorrect information (issue #5518)

       • Fixed traceback when numeric args are passed to cmd.script states

       • Fixed bug causing cp.get_dir to return more directories than expected (issue #6048)

       • Fixed traceback when supervisord.running states are run with test=True (issue #6053)

       • Fixed tracebacks when Salt encounters problems running rbenv (issue #5888)

       • Only make the monit module available if monit binary is present (issue #5871)

       • Fixed incorrect behavior of img.mount_image

       • Fixed traceback in tomcat.deploy_war in Windows

       • Don't re-write /etc/fstab if mount fails

       • Fixed tracebacks when Salt encounters problems running gem (issue #5886)

       • Fixed incorrect behavior of selinux.boolean states (issue #5912)

       • RabbitMQ: Quote passwords to avoid symbols being interpolated by the shell (issue #6338)

   Salt 0.17.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-09-26

       The 0.17.0 release is a very exciting release of Salt,  this  brings  to  Salt  some  very  powerful  new
       features and advances. The advances range from the state system to the test suite, covering new transport
       capabilities and making states easier and more powerful, to extending Salt Virt and much more!

       The  0.17.0  release will also be the last release of Salt to follow the old 0.XX.X numbering system, the
       next release of Salt will change the numbering to be date based following this format:

       <Year>.<Month>.<Minor>

       So if the release happens in November of 2013 the number will be 13.11.0, the first bugfix  release  will
       be 13.11.1 and so forth.

   Major Features
   Halite
       The new Halite web GUI is now available on PyPI. A great deal of work has been put into Halite to make it
       fully  event  driven  and amazingly fast. The Halite UI can be started from within the Salt Master (after
       being installed from PyPI), or standalone, and does not require an external database to run.  It is  very
       lightweight!

       This  initial  release  of  Halite  is  primarily the framework for the UI and the communication systems,
       making it easy to extend and build the UI up. It presently supports watching the  event  bus  and  firing
       commands over Salt.

       At  this  time,  Halite  is  not  available as a package, but installation documentation is available at:
       https://docs.saltproject.io/topics/tutorials/halite.html

       Halite is, like the rest of Salt, Open Source!

       Much more will be coming in the future of Halite!

   Salt SSH
       The new salt-ssh command has been added to Salt. This system allows for remote execution and states to be
       run over ssh. The benefit here being, that salt can run relying  only  on  the  ssh  agent,  rather  than
       requiring a minion to be deployed.

       The  salt-ssh system runs states in a compatible way as Salt and states created and run with salt-ssh can
       be moved over to a standard salt deployment without modification.

       Since this is the initial release of salt-ssh, there is plenty of room for improvement, but it  is  fully
       operational, not just a bootstrap tool.

   Rosters
       Salt  is  designed to have the minions be aware of the master and the master does not need to be aware of
       the location of the minions. The new salt roster system was created and designed  to  facilitate  listing
       the targets for salt-ssh.

       The  roster  system, like most of Salt, is a plugin system, allowing for the list of systems to target to
       be derived from any pluggable backend. The rosters shipping with 0.17.0 are flat and scan. Flat is a file
       which is read in via the salt render system and the scan roster does simple network scanning to  discover
       ssh servers.

   State Auto Order
       This  is a major change in how states are evaluated in Salt. State Auto Order is a new feature that makes
       states get evaluated and executed in the order in which they are defined in the sls  file.  This  feature
       makes  it  very  easy  to  see  the finite order in which things will be executed, making Salt now, fully
       imperative AND fully declarative.

       The requisite system still takes precedence over the order in which states are defined,  so  no  existing
       states should break with this change. But this new feature can be turned off by setting state_auto_order:
       False in the master config, thus reverting to the old lexicographical order.

   state.sls Runner
       The  state.sls  runner  has been created to allow for a more powerful system for orchestrating state runs
       and function calls across the salt minions.  This  new  system  uses  the  state  system  for  organizing
       executions.

       This  allows  for  states  to  be  defined  that are executed on the master to call states on minions via
       salt-run state.sls.

   Salt Thin
       Salt Thin is an exciting new component of Salt, this is the ability to execute Salt routines without  any
       transport mechanisms installed, it is a pure python subset of Salt.

       Salt  Thin  does  not  have  any  networking  capability,  but can be dropped into any system with Python
       installed and then salt-call can be called directly. The Salt  Thin  system,  is  used  by  the  salt-ssh
       command, but can still be used to just drop salt somewhere for easy use.

   Event Namespacing
       Events  have  been updated to be much more flexible. The tags in events have all been namespaced allowing
       easier tracking of event names.

   Mercurial Fileserver Backend
       The popular git fileserver backend has been joined by the  mercurial  fileserver  backend,  allowing  the
       state tree to be managed entirely via mercurial.

   External Logging Handlers
       The  external  logging  handler system allows for Salt to directly hook into any external logging system.
       Currently supported are sentry and logstash.

   Jenkins Testing
       The testing systems  in  Salt  have  been  greatly  enhanced,  tests  for  salt  are  now  executed,  via
       jenkins.saltstack.com, across many supported platforms. Jenkins calls out to salt-cloud to create virtual
       machines  on  Rackspace, then the minion on the virtual machine checks into the master running on Jenkins
       where a state run is executed that sets up the minion to run tests and executes the test suite.

       This now automates the sequence of running platform tests and allows for continuous destructive tests  to
       be run.

   Salt Testing Project
       The  testing  libraries  for  salt  have  been moved out of the main salt code base and into a standalone
       codebase. This has been done to ease the use of the testing systems being used  in  salt  based  projects
       other than Salt itself.

   StormPath External Authentication
       The external auth system now supports the fantastic Stormpath cloud based authentication system.

   LXC Support
       Extensive  additions have been added to Salt for LXC support. This included the backend libs for managing
       LXC containers. Addition into the salt-virt system is still in the works.

   macOS User/Group Support
       Salt is now able to manage users and groups on  Minions  running  macOS.   However,  at  this  time  user
       passwords cannot be managed.

   Django ORM External Pillar
       Pillar data can now be derived from Django managed databases.

   Salt 0.17.1 Release Notes
       release
              2013-10-17

       NOTE:
          THIS  RELEASE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS.  If you update your master to 0.17.1, you must
          update your minions as well.  Sorry for the inconvenience -- this is a result of one of  the  security
          fixes listed below.

       The  0.17.1  release  comes  with  a  number  of improvements to salt-ssh, many bugfixes, and a number of
       security updates.

       Salt SSH has been improved to be faster, more featureful and more secure.  Since the original release  of
       Salt  SSH  was  primarily  a  proof  of  concept, it has been very exciting to see its rapid adoption. We
       appreciate the willingness of security experts to review Salt SSH and help discover oversights and ensure
       that security issues only exist for such a tiny window of time.

   SSH Enhancements
   Shell Improvements
       Improvements to Salt SSH's communication have been added that improve routine execution regardless of the
       target system's login shell.

   Performance
       Deployment of routines is now faster and takes fewer commands to execute.

   Security Updates
       Be advised that these security issues all apply to a small subset of Salt users and mostly apply to  Salt
       SSH.

   Insufficient Argument Validation
       This  issue  allowed for a user with limited privileges to embed executions inside of routines to execute
       routines that should be restricted. This applies to users using external auth or client ACL  and  opening
       up specific routines.

       Be  advised  that  these  patches  address the direct issue. Additional commits have been applied to help
       mitigate this issue from resurfacing.

   YAML Calling Unsafe Loading Routine
       It has been argued that this is not a valid security issue, as the YAML loading that  was  happening  was
       only  being  called  after an initial gateway filter in Salt has already safely loaded the YAML and would
       fail if non-safe routines were embedded. Nonetheless, the CVE was filed and patches applied.

   Salt 0.6.0 release notes
       The  Salt  remote  execution  manager has reached initial functionality! Salt is a management application
       which can be used to execute commands on remote sets of servers.

       The whole idea behind Salt is to create a system where a group of servers can be remotely controlled from
       a single master, not only can commands be executed on remote systems, but salt can also be used to gather
       information about your server environment.

       Unlike similar systems, like Func and MCollective, Salt is extremely simple to setup and use, the  entire
       application  is  contained  in  a  single  package,  and the master and minion daemons require no running
       dependencies in the way that Func requires Certmaster and MCollective requires activeMQ.

       Salt also manages authentication and encryption. Rather than  using  SSL  for  encryption,  salt  manages
       encryption on a payload level, so the data sent across the network is encrypted with fast AES encryption,
       and authentication uses RSA keys. This means that Salt is fast, secure, and very efficient.

       Messaging  in  Salt is executed with ZeroMQ, so the message passing interface is built into salt and does
       not require an external ZeroMQ server. This also adds speed to Salt since there is no additional bloat on
       the networking layer, and ZeroMQ has already proven itself as a very fast networking system.

       The remote execution in Salt is "Lazy Execution", in that once the command is sent the requesting network
       connection is closed. This makes it easier to detach the  execution  from  the  calling  process  on  the
       master, it also means that replies are cached, so that information gathered from historic commands can be
       queried in the future.

       Salt  also  allows  users  to  make  execution modules in Python. Writers of these modules should also be
       pleased to know that they have access to the impressive  information  gathered  from  PuppetLabs'  Facter
       application,  making  Salt module more flexible. In the future I hope to also allow Salt to group servers
       based on Facter information as well.

       All in all Salt is fast, efficient, and clean, can be used from a simple command line client  or  through
       an API, uses message queue technology to make network execution extremely fast, and encryption is handled
       in a very fast and efficient manner. Salt is also VERY easy to use and VERY easy to extend.

       You  can  find the source code for Salt on my GitHub page, I have also set up a few wiki pages explaining
       how to use and set up Salt. If you are using Arch Linux there is a package available in  the  Arch  Linux
       AUR.

       GitHub page: https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       Wiki: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/wiki

       Arch Linux Package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/salt-git/

       I am very open to contributions, for instance I need packages for more Linux distributions as well as BSD
       packages and testers.

       Give  Salt  a  try, this is the initial release and is not a 1.0 quality release, but it has been working
       well for me! I am eager to get your feedback!

   Salt 0.7.0 release notes
       I am pleased to announce the release of Salt 0.7.0!

       This release marks what is the first stable release of salt, 0.7.0 should be suitable for general use.

       0.7.0 Brings the following new features to Salt:

       • Integration with Facter data from puppet labs

       • Allow for matching minions from the salt client via Facter information

       • Minion job threading, many jobs can be executed from the master at once

       • Preview of master clustering support - Still experimental

       • Introduce new minion modules for stats, virtualization, service management and more

       • Add extensive logging to the master and minion daemons

       • Add sys.reload_functions for dynamic function reloading

       • Greatly improve authentication

       • Introduce the saltkey command for managing public keys

       • Begin backend development preparatory to introducing butter

       • Addition of man pages for the core commands

       • Extended and cleaned configuration

       0.7.0 Fixes the following major bugs:

       • Fix crash in minions when matching failed

       • Fix configuration file lookups for the local client

       • Repair communication bugs in encryption

       • Numerous fixes in the minion modules

       The next release of Salt should see the following features:

       • Stabilize the cluster support

       • Introduce a remote client for salt command tiers

       • salt-ftp system for distributed file copies

       • Initial support for "butter"

       Coming up next is a higher level management framework for salt called Butter. I want salt to  stay  as  a
       simple and effective communication framework, and allow for more complicated executions to be managed via
       Butter.

       Right  now  Butter is being developed to act as a cloud controller using salt as the communication layer,
       but features like system monitoring and advanced configuration control (a puppet manager) are also in the
       pipe.

       Special thanks to Joseph Hall for the status and network  modules,  and  thanks  to  Matthias  Teege  for
       tracking down some configuration bugs!

       Salt can be downloaded from the following locations;

       Arch Linux Package:

       Please enjoy the latest Salt release!

   Salt 0.8.0 release notes
       Salt 0.8.0 is ready for general consumption!  The source tarball is available on GitHub for download:

       A  lot  of work has gone into salt since the last release just 2 weeks ago, and salt has improved a great
       deal. A swath of new features are here along with performance and threading improvements!

       The main new features of salt 0.8.0 are:

       Salt-cp

       Cython minion modules

       Dynamic returners

       Faster return handling

       Lowered required Python version to 2.6

       Advanced minion threading

       Configurable minion modules

   Salt-cp
       The salt-cp command introduces the ability to copy simple files  via  salt  to  targeted  servers.  Using
       salt-cp  is  very  simple, just call salt-cp with a target specification, the source file(s) and where to
       copy the files on the minions.  For instance:

       # salt-cp ‘*’ /etc/hosts /etc/hosts

       Will copy the local /etc/hosts file to all of the minions.

       Salt-cp is very young, in the future more advanced features will be added,  and  the  functionality  will
       much more closely resemble the cp command.

   Cython minion modules
       Cython  is  an amazing tool used to compile Python modules down to c. This is arguably the fastest way to
       run Python code, and since pyzmq requires  cython,  adding  support  to  salt  for  cython  adds  no  new
       dependencies.

       Cython  minion modules allow minion modules to be written in cython and therefore executed in compiled c.
       Simply write the salt module in cython and use the file extension “.pyx” and the minion  module  will  be
       compiled when the minion is started. An example cython module is included in the main distribution called
       cytest.pyx:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/modules/cytest.pyx

   Dynamic Returners
       By default salt returns command data back to the salt master, but now salt can return command data to any
       system.  This  is  enabled via the new returners modules feature for salt. The returners modules take the
       return data and sends it to a specific module. The returner modules work  like  minion  modules,  so  any
       returner can be added to the minions.

       This  means  that  a  custom  data  returner can be added to communicate the return data so anything from
       MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, and more!

       There are 2 simple stock returners in the returners directory:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/returners

       The documentation on writing returners will be added to the wiki shortly, and returners can be written in
       pure Python, or in cython.

   Configurable Minion Modules
       Minion modules may need to be configured, now the options passed to the minion configuration file can  be
       accessed inside of the minion modules via the __opt__ dict.

       Information on how to use this simple addition has been added to the wiki: Writing modules

       The test module has an example of using the __opts__ dict, and how to set default options:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/modules/test.py

   Advanced Minion Threading
       In  0.7.0  the  minion would block after receiving a command from the master, now the minion will spawn a
       thread or multiprocess. By default Python threads are used because for general use they have proved to be
       faster, but the minion can now be configured to use the  Python  multiprocessing  module  instead.  Using
       multiprocessing  will cause executions that are CPU bound or would otherwise exploit the negative aspects
       of the Python GIL to run faster and more reliably, but simple calls will  still  be  faster  with  Python
       threading.  The configuration option can be found in the minion configuration file:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/conf/minion

   Lowered Supported Python to 2.6
       The  requirement  for Python 2.7 has been removed to support Python 2.6. I have received requests to take
       the minimum Python version back to 2.4, but unfortunately this will not be  possible,  since  the  ZeroMQ
       Python bindings do not support Python 2.4.

       Salt  0.8.0  is  a  very  major  update,  it  also  changes  the  network  protocol  slightly which makes
       communication with older salt daemons impossible, your master and minions need to be upgraded together!

       I could use some help bringing salt to the people! Right now I only have packages for Arch Linux,  Fedora
       14  and  Gentoo.  We  need packages for Debian and people willing to help test on more platforms. We also
       need help writing more minion modules and returner modules. If you want to contribute to salt please  hop
       on  the mailing list and send in patches, make a fork on GitHub and send in pull requests! If you want to
       help but are not sure where you can, please email me directly or post tot he mailing list!

       I hope you enjoy salt, while it is not yet 1.0 salt is completely viable and usable!

   Salt 0.8.7 release notes
       It has been a month since salt 0.8.0, and it has been a long  month!  But  Salt  is  still  coming  along
       strong.  0.8.7  has  a  lot  of  changes  and a lot of updates.  This update makes Salt’s ZeroMQ back end
       better, strips Facter from the dependencies, and introduces interfaces to handle more capabilities.

       Many of the major updates are in the background, but the changes should shine through to the  surface.  A
       number of the new features are still a little thin, but the back end to support expansion is in place.

       I  also  recently  gave  a presentation to the Utah Python users group in Salt Lake City, the slides from
       this presentation are available here:

       The video from this presentation will be available shortly.

       The major new features and changes in Salt 0.8.7 are:

       • Revamp ZeroMQ topology on the master for better scalability

       • State enforcement

       • Dynamic state enforcement managers

       • Extract the module loader into salt.loader

       • Make Job ids more granular

       • Replace Facter functionality with the new salt grains interface

       • Support for “virtual” salt modules

       • Introduce the salt-call command

       • Better debugging for minion modules

       The new ZeroMQ topology allows for better scalability, this will be  required  by  the  need  to  execute
       massive  file transfers to multiple machines in parallel and state management. The new ZeroMQ topology is
       available in the aforementioned presentation.

       0.8.7 introduces the capability to declare states, this is similar to the capabilities of Puppet.  States
       in  salt  are declared via state data structures.  This system is very young, but the core feature set is
       available. Salt states work around rendering files which represent Salt high data. More on the Salt state
       system will be documented in the near future.

       The system for loading salt modules has been pulled out of the minion class to be  a  standalone  module,
       this has enabled more dynamic loading of Salt modules and enables many of the updates in 0.8.7 –

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/loader.py

       Salt  Job  ids  are  now  microsecond precise, this was needed to repair a race condition unveiled by the
       speed improvements in the new ZeroMQ topology.

       The new grains interface replaces the functionality of Facter, the idea behind grains differs from Facter
       in that the grains are only used for static system data, dynamic data needs to be derived from a call  to
       a  salt  module. This makes grains much faster to use, since the grains data is generated when the minion
       starts.

       Virtual salt modules allows for a salt module to be presented as something other than  its  module  name.
       The  idea  here  is  that  based  on  information  from the minion decisions about which module should be
       presented can be made. The best example is the pacman module. The pacman module will only  load  on  Arch
       Linux  minions, and will be called pkg. Similarly the yum module will be presented as pkg when the minion
       starts on a Fedora/RedHat system.

       The new salt-call command allows for minion modules to be executed from the minion. This  means  that  on
       the  minion  a  salt module can be executed, this is a great tool for testing Salt modules. The salt-call
       command can also be used to view the grains data.

       In previous releases when a minion module threw an exception very little data was returned to the master.
       Now the stack trace from the failure is returned making debugging of minion modules MUCH easier.

       Salt is nearing the goal of 1.0, where the core feature set and capability is complete!

   Salt 0.8.8 release notes
       Salt 0.8.8 is here! This release adds a great deal of code and some serious new features.

       Improved Documentation has been set up for salt using sphinx thanks to the efforts of  Seth  House.  This
       new  documentation  system  will  act  as  the  back  end  to the salt website which is still under heavy
       development. The new sphinx documentation system has  also  been  used  to  greatly  clean  up  the  salt
       manpages.   The salt 7 manpage in particular now contains extensive information which was previously only
       in the wiki. The new documentation can be found at: https://docs.saltproject.io/ We still have a  lot  to
       add, and when the domain is set up I will post another announcement.

       More  additions  have  been  made  to the ZeroMQ setup, particularly in the realm of file transfers. Salt
       0.8.8 introduces a built in, stateless, encrypted file server which allows salt minions to download files
       from the salt master using the same encryption system used for all other salt  communications.  The  main
       motivation for the salt file server has been to facilitate the new salt state system.

       Much  of the salt code has been cleaned up and a new cleaner logging system has been introduced thanks to
       the efforts of Pedro Algarvio. These additions will allow for much more flexible logging to  be  executed
       by  salt,  and  fixed  a  great  deal of my poor spelling in the salt docstrings! Pedro Algarvio has also
       cleaned up the API, making it easier to embed salt into another application.

       The biggest addition to salt found in 0.8.8 is the new state system. The salt module system has  received
       a  new  front  end  which  allows salt to be used as a configuration management system. The configuration
       management system allows for system configuration to be defined in  data  structures.  The  configuration
       management  system,  or  as  it  is called in salt, the “salt state system” supports many of the features
       found in other configuration managers, but allows for system states  to  be  written  in  a  far  simpler
       format,  executes  at  blazing speeds, and operates via the salt minion matching system. The state system
       also operates within the normal scope of salt, and requires no additional configuration to use.

       The salt state system can enforce the following states with many more to come:  Packages  Files  Services
       Executing commands Hosts

       The system used to define the salt states is based on a data structure, the data structure used to define
       the  salt states has been made to be as easy to use as possible. The data structure is defined by default
       using a YAML file rendered via a Jinja template. This means that the state definition  language  supports
       all of the data structures that YAML supports, and all of the programming constructs and logic that Jinja
       supports.  If the user does not like YAML or Jinja the states can be defined in yaml-mako, json-jinja, or
       json-mako. The system used to render the states is completely dynamic, and any rendering  system  can  be
       added  to the capabilities of Salt, this means that a rendering system that renders XML data in a cheetah
       template, or whatever you can imagine, can be easily added to the capabilities of salt.

       The salt state system also supports  isolated  environments,  as  well  as  matching  code  from  several
       environments to a single salt minion.

       The  feature base for Salt has grown quite a bit since my last serious documentation push. As we approach
       0.9.0 the goals are becoming very clear, and the documentation needs a lot of work. The  main  goals  for
       0.9.0 are to further refine the state system, fix any bugs we find, get Salt running on as many platforms
       as  we  can,  and  get the documentation filled out. There is a lot more to come as Salt moves forward to
       encapsulate a much larger scope, while maintaining supreme usability and simplicity.

       If you would like a more complete overview of Salt please watch the Salt presentation: Slides:

   Salt 0.8.9 Release Notes
       Salt 0.8.9 has finally arrived! Unfortunately this is much later than I had hoped to release 0.8.9,  life
       has been very crazy over the last month. But despite challenges, Salt has moved forward!

       This release, as expected, adds few new features and many refinements. One of the most exciting aspect of
       this  release  is  that the development community for salt has grown a great deal and much of the code is
       from contributors.

       Also, I have filled out the documentation a great deal. So information on States is properly  documented,
       and much of the documentation that was out of date has been filled in.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.8.9.tar.gz

       Here s the md5sum:

       7d5aca4633bc22f59045f59e82f43b56

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Salt Run
       A  big feature is the addition of Salt run, the salt-run command allows for master side execution modules
       to be made that gather specific information or execute custom routines from the master.

       Documentation for salt-run can be found here

   Refined Outputters
       One problem often complained about in salt was the fact that the output was so messy. Thanks to help from
       Jeff Schroeder a cleaner interface for the command output for the  Salt  CLI  has  been  made.  This  new
       interface  makes  adding  new  printout  formats easy and additions to the capabilities of minion modules
       makes it possible to set the printout mode or outputter for functions in minion modules.

   Cross Calling Salt Modules
       Salt modules can now call each other, the __salt__ dict has been added to the  predefined  references  in
       minion modules. This new feature is documented in the modules documentation.

   Watch Option Added to Salt State System
       Now  in Salt states you can set the watch option, this will allow watch enabled states to change based on
       a change in the other defined states. This is similar to subscribe and notify statements in puppet.

   Root Dir Option
       Travis Cline has added the ability to define the option root_dir which allows the salt minion to  operate
       in a subdir. This is a strong move in supporting the minion running as an unprivileged user

   Config Files Defined in Variables
       Thanks  again  to  Travis  Cline,  the  master  and minion configuration file locations can be defined in
       environment variables now.

   New Modules
       Quite a few new modules, states, returners, and runners have been made.

   New Minion Modules
   apt
       Support for apt-get has been added, this adds greatly improved Debian and Ubuntu support to Salt!

   useradd and groupadd
       Support for manipulating users and groups on Unix-like systems.

   moosefs
       Initial support for reporting on aspects of the distributed file system, MooseFS. For more information on
       MooseFS please see: http://www.moosefs.org

       Thanks to Joseph Hall for his work on MooseFS support.

   mount
       Manage mounts and the fstab.

   puppet
       Execute puppet on remote systems.

   shadow
       Manipulate and manage the user password file.

   ssh
       Interact with ssh keys.

   New States
   user and group
       Support for managing users and groups in Salt States.

   mount
       Enforce mounts and the fstab.

   New Returners
   mongo_return
       Send the return information to a MongoDB server.

   New Runners
   manage
       Display minions that are up or down.

   Salt 0.9.0 Release Notes
       release
              2011-08-27

       Salt 0.9.0 is here. This is an exciting  release,  0.9.0  includes  the  new  network  topology  features
       allowing peer salt commands and masters of masters via the syndic interface.

       0.9.0 also introduces many more modules, improvements to the API and improvements to the ZeroMQ systems.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.0.tar.gz

       Here is the md5sum:

       9a925da04981e65a0f237f2e77ddab37

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Salt Syndic
       The  new Syndic interface allows a master to be commanded via another higher level salt master. This is a
       powerful solution allowing a master control structure to exist, allowing salt to  scale  to  much  larger
       levels then before.

   Peer Communication
       0.9.0  introduces  the capability for a minion to call a publication on the master and receive the return
       from another set of minions. This allows salt to act as a communication channel between minions and as  a
       general infrastructure message bus.

       Peer  communication  is  turned  off  by  default  but  can  be enabled via the peer option in the master
       configuration file. Documentation on the new Peer interface.

   Easily Extensible API
       The minion and master classes have been redesigned to allow for specialized minion and master servers  to
       be  easily  created.  An  example  on  how this is done for the master can be found in the master.py salt
       module:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/master.py

       The Master class extends the SMaster class and set up the main master server.

       The minion functions can now also be easily added to another application  via  the  SMinion  class,  this
       class can be found in the minion.py module:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/minion.py

   Cleaner Key Management
       This  release  changes  some  of the key naming to allow for multiple master keys to be held based on the
       type of minion gathering the master key.

       The -d option has also been added to the salt-key command allowing for easy removal  of  accepted  public
       keys.

       The --gen-keys option is now available as well for salt-key, this allows for a salt specific RSA key pair
       to be easily generated from the command line.

   Improved 0MQ Master Workers
       The  0MQ  worker  system has been further refined to be faster and more robust.  This new system has been
       able to handle a much larger load than the previous setup. The new system uses the IPC  protocol  in  0MQ
       instead of TCP.

   New Modules
       Quite a few new modules have been made.

   New Minion Modules
   apache
       Work directly with apache servers, great for managing balanced web servers

   cron
       Read out the contents of a systems crontabs

   mdadm
       Module to manage raid devices in Linux, appears as the raid module

   mysql
       Gather simple data from MySQL databases

   ps
       Extensive utilities for managing processes

   publish
       Used by the peer interface to allow minions to make publications

   Salt 0.9.1 Release Notes
       release
              2011-08-29

   Salt 0.9.2 Release Notes
       release
              2011-09-17

       Salt  0.9.2  has arrived! 0.9.2 is primarily a bugfix release, the exciting component in 0.9.2 is greatly
       improved support for salt states. All of the salt states interfaces have been more thoroughly tested  and
       the new salt-states git repo is growing with example of how to use states.

       This  release  introduces  salt  states for early developers and testers to start helping us clean up the
       states interface and make it ready for the world!

       0.9.2 also fixes a number of bugs found on Python 2.6.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.2.tar.gz

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Salt-Call Additions
       The salt-call command has received an overhaul, it now hooks into the outputter system so command  output
       looks  clean,  and the logging system has been hooked into salt-call, so the -l option allows the logging
       output from salt minion functions to be displayed.

       The end result is that the salt-call command can execute the state system and return clean output:

          # salt-call state.highstate

   State System Fixes
       The state system has been tested and better refined. As of this release the state  system  is  ready  for
       early  testers to start playing with. If you are interested in working with the state system please check
       out the (still very small) salt-states GitHub repo:

       https://github.com/SS-archive/salt-states

       This git repo is the active development branch for determining how a  clean  salt-state  database  should
       look  and act. Since the salt state system is still very young a lot of help is still needed here. Please
       fork the salt-states repo and help us develop  a  truly  large  and  scalable  system  for  configuration
       management!

   Notable Bug Fixes
   Python 2.6 String Formatting
       Python 2.6 does not support format strings without an index identifier, all of them have been repaired.

   Cython Loading Disabled by Default
       Cython loading requires a development tool chain to be installed on the minion, requiring this by default
       can cause problems for most Salt deployments. If Cython auto loading is desired it will need to be turned
       on in the minion config.

   Salt 0.9.3 Release Notes
       release
              2011-11-05

       Salt  0.9.3 is finally arrived. This is another big step forward for Salt, new features range from proper
       FreeBSD support to fixing issues seen when attaching a minion to a master over the Internet.

       The biggest improvements in 0.9.3 though can be found  in  the  state  system,  it  has  progressed  from
       something  ready  for  early testers to a system ready to compete with platforms such as Puppet and Chef.
       The backbone of the state system has been greatly refined and many new features are available.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.3.tar.gz

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   WAN Support
       Recently more people have been testing Salt minions connecting to Salt Masters over the Internet. It  was
       found  that  Minions  would commonly loose their connection to the master when working over the internet.
       The minions can now detect if the connection has been lost  and  reconnect  to  the  master,  making  WAN
       connections much more reliable.

   State System Fixes
       Substantial testing has gone into the state system and it is ready for real world usage. A great deal has
       been  added  to  the documentation for states and the modules and functions available to states have been
       cleanly documented.

       A number of State System bugs have also been founds and repaired, the output from the  state  system  has
       also been refined to be extremely clear and concise.

       Error  reporting  has  also  been introduced, issues found in sls files will now be clearly reported when
       executing Salt States.

   Extend Declaration
       The Salt States have also gained the extend declaration. This declaration allows for states to be cleanly
       modified in a post environment. Simply said, if there is an apache.sls  file  that  declares  the  apache
       service, then another sls can include apache and then extend it:

          include:
            - apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - require:
                  - pkg: mod_python

          mod_python:
            pkg:
              - installed

       The  notable  behavior  with  the  extend  functionality  is  that  it  literally extends or overwrites a
       declaration set up in another sls module. This means that Salt will behave as  though  the  modifications
       were  made  directly to the apache sls.  This ensures that the apache service in this example is directly
       tied to all requirements.

   Highstate Structure Specification
       This release comes with a clear specification of the Highstate data structure that  is  used  to  declare
       Salt States. This specification explains everything that can be declared in the Salt SLS modules.

       The specification is extremely simple, and illustrates how Salt has been able to fulfill the requirements
       of a central configuration manager within a simple and easy to understand format and specification.

   SheBang Renderer Switch
       It  came  to our attention that having many renderers means that there may be a situation where more than
       one State Renderer should be available within a single State Tree.

       The method  chosen  to  accomplish  this  was  something  already  familiar  to  developers  and  systems
       administrators, a SheBang. The Python State Renderer displays this new capability.

   Python State Renderer
       Until  now  Salt States could only be declared in yaml or json using Jinja or Mako. A new, very powerful,
       renderer has been added, making it possible to write Salt States in pure Python:

          #!py

          def run():
              """
              Install the python-mako package
              """
              return {"include": ["python"], "python-mako": {"pkg": ["installed"]}}

       This renderer is used  by  making  a  run  function  that  returns  the  Highstate  data  structure.  Any
       capabilities of Python can be used in pure Python sls modules.

       This example of a pure Python sls module is the same as this example in yaml:

          include:
            - python

          python-mako:
            pkg:
              - installed

   FreeBSD Support
       Additional  support  has  been  added for FreeBSD, this is Salt's first branch out of the Linux world and
       proves the viability of Salt on non-Linux platforms.

       Salt remote execution already worked on FreeBSD, and should work without issue on any Unix-like platform.
       But this support comes in the form of package management and user support, so Salt States  also  work  on
       FreeBSD now.

       The  new  freebsdpkg  module  provides  package  management  support  for FreeBSD and the new pw_user and
       pw_group provide user and group management.

   Module and State Additions
   Cron Support
       Support for managing the system crontab has been added, declaring a cron state can be done easily:

          date > /tmp/datestamp:
            cron:
              - present
              - user: fred
              - minute: 5
              - hour: 3

   File State Additions
       The file state has been given a number of new features, primarily the directory,  recurse,  symlink,  and
       absent functions.

       file.directory
              Make sure that a directory exists and has the right permissions.

                 /srv/foo:
                   file:
                     - directory
                     - user: root
                     - group: root
                     - mode: 1755

       file.symlink
              Make a symlink.

                 /var/lib/www:
                   file:
                     - symlink
                     - target: /srv/www
                     - force: True

       file.recurse
              The  recurse  state  function  will recursively download a directory on the master file server and
              place it on the minion. Any change in the files on the master will be pushed to  the  minion.  The
              recurse function is very powerful and has been tested by pushing out the full Linux kernel source.

                 /opt/code:
                   file:
                     - recurse
                     - source: salt://linux

       file.absent
              Make  sure  that  the  file  is  not  on  the  system, recursively deletes directories, files, and
              symlinks.

                 /etc/httpd/conf.d/somebogusfile.conf:
                   file:
                     - absent

   Sysctl Module and State
       The sysctl module and state allows for sysctl components in the kernel to be managed easily.  the  sysctl
       module contains the following functions:

       sysctl.show
              Return a list of sysctl parameters for this minion

       sysctl.get
              Return a single sysctl parameter for this minion

       sysctl.assign
              Assign a single sysctl parameter for this minion

       sysctl.persist
              Assign and persist a simple sysctl parameter for this minion

       The sysctl state allows for sysctl parameters to be assigned:

          vm.swappiness:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 20

   Kernel Module Management
       A module for managing Linux kernel modules has been added. The new functions are as follows:

       kmod.available
              Return a list of all available kernel modules

       kmod.check_available
              Check to see if the specified kernel module is available

       kmod.lsmod

   Salt 0.9.4 Release Notes
       release
              2011-11-27

       Salt 0.9.4 has arrived. This is a critical update that repairs a number of key bugs found in  0.9.3.  But
       this  update  is  not without feature additions as well! 0.9.4 adds support for Gentoo portage to the pkg
       module and state system. Also there are 2 major new state additions, the failhard option and the  ability
       to set up finite state ordering with the order option.

       This  release  also  sees  our  largest increase in community contributions.  These contributors have and
       continue to be the life blood of the Salt project, and the team continues to grow. I want to  put  out  a
       big thanks to our new and existing contributors.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.4.tar.gz

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Failhard State Option
       Normally,  when a state fails Salt continues to execute the remainder of the defined states and will only
       refuse to execute states that require the failed state.

       But the situation may exist, where you would want all state execution to stop if a single state execution
       fails. The capability to do this is called failing hard.

   State Level Failhard
       A single state can have a failhard set, this means that if this individual state  fails  that  all  state
       execution  will immediately stop. This is a great thing to do if there is a state that sets up a critical
       config file and setting a require for each state that reads the  config  would  be  cumbersome.   A  good
       example of this would be setting up a package manager early on:

          /etc/yum.repos.d/company.repo:
            file:
              - managed
              - source: salt://company/yumrepo.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - order: 1
              - failhard: True

       In  this  situation,  the  yum repo is going to be configured before other states, and if it fails to lay
       down the config file, than no other states will be executed.

   Global Failhard
       It may be desired to have failhard be applied to every state that is executed, if this is the case,  then
       failhard  can  be set in the master configuration file. Setting failhard in the master configuration file
       will result in failing hard when any minion gathering states from the master have a state fail.

       This is NOT the default behavior, normally Salt will only fail states that require a failed state.

       Using the global failhard is generally not recommended, since it can result in states not being  executed
       or  even  checked. It can also be confusing to see states failhard if an admin is not actively aware that
       the failhard has been set.

       To use the global failhard set failhard: True in the master configuration

   Finite Ordering of State Execution
       When creating salt sls files, it is often important to ensure that they run in a  specific  order.  While
       states will always execute in the same order, that order is not necessarily defined the way you want it.

       A  few  tools  exist  in  Salt  to  set  up  the correct state ordering, these tools consist of requisite
       declarations and order options.

   The Order Option
       Before using the order option, remember that the majority of state ordering should be done with requisite
       statements, and that a requisite statement will override an order option.

       The order option is used by adding an order number to a state declaration with the option order:

          vim:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - order: 1

       By adding the order option to 1 this ensures that the vim package will be installed in  tandem  with  any
       other state declaration set to the order 1.

       Any  state  declared  without  an  order  option will be executed after all states with order options are
       executed.

       But this construct can only handle ordering states from the beginning.  Sometimes you may want to send  a
       state to the end of the line, to do this set the order to last:

          vim:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - order: last

       Substantial testing has gone into the state system and it is ready for real world usage. A great deal has
       been  added  to  the documentation for states and the modules and functions available to states have been
       cleanly documented.

       A number of State System bugs have also been founds and repaired, the output from the  state  system  has
       also been refined to be extremely clear and concise.

       Error  reporting  has  also  been introduced, issues found in sls files will now be clearly reported when
       executing Salt States.

   Gentoo Support
       Additional experimental support has been added for Gentoo. This is found in the  contribution  from  Doug
       Renn, aka nestegg.

   Salt 0.9.5 Release Notes
       release
              2012-01-15

       Salt 0.9.5 is one of the largest steps forward in the development of Salt.

       0.9.5  comes  with  many  milestones,  this  release  has seen the community of developers grow out to an

   Major Features
   SPEED! Pickle to msgpack
       For a few  months  now  we  have  been  talking  about  moving  away  from  Python  pickles  for  network
       serialization,  but  a  preferred  serialization  format  had  not  yet  been  found.  After an extensive
       performance testing period involving everything from JSON to protocol buffers, a  clear  winner  emerged.
       Message Pack (https://msgpack.org/) proved to not only be the fastest and most compact, but also the most
       "salt  like". Message Pack is simple, and the code involved is very small. The msgpack library for Python
       has been added directly to Salt.

       This move introduces a few changes to Salt. First off, Salt is no longer a "noarch"  package,  since  the
       msgpack  lib  is written in C. Salt 0.9.5 will also have compatibility issues with 0.9.4 with the default
       configuration.

       We have gone through great lengths to avoid backwards compatibility issues with Salt,  but  changing  the
       serialization  medium  was going to create issues regardless. Salt 0.9.5 is somewhat backwards compatible
       with earlier minions. A 0.9.5 master can command older minions, but only if the serial  config  value  in
       the  master  is  set  to  pickle. This will tell the master to publish messages in pickle format and will
       allow the master to receive messages in both msgpack and pickle formats.

       Therefore the suggested methods for upgrading are either to just upgrade everything at once, or:

       1. Upgrade the master to 0.9.5

       2. Set serial to pickle in the master config

       3. Upgrade the minions

       4. Remove the serial option from the master config

       Since pickles can be used as a security exploit the ability for a master to accept pickles  from  minions
       at all will be removed in a future release.

   C Bindings for YAML
       All  of the YAML rendering is now done with the YAML C bindings. This speeds up all of the sls files when
       running states.

   Experimental Windows Support
       David Boucha has worked tirelessly to bring initial support  to  Salt  for  Microsoft  Windows  operating
       systems. Right now the Salt Minion can run as a native Windows service and accept commands.

       In  the  weeks  and months to come Windows will receive the full treatment and will have support for Salt
       States and more robust support for managing Windows systems. This is a big step forward for Salt to  move
       entirely  outside  of  the Unix world, and proves Salt is a viable cross platform solution. Big Thanks to
       Dave for his contribution here!

   Dynamic Module Distribution
       Many Salt users have expressed the desire to have Salt distribute in-house  modules,  states,  renderers,
       returners, and grains. This support has been added in a number of ways:

   Modules via States
       Now  when  salt modules are deployed to a minion via the state system as a file, then the modules will be
       automatically loaded into the active running minion - no restart required - and into the  active  running
       state. So custom state modules can be deployed and used in the same state run.

   Modules via Module Environment Directories
       Under  the  file_roots  each environment can now have directories that are used to deploy large groups of
       modules. These directories sync modules at the beginning of a state run on the minion, or can be manually
       synced via the Salt module salt.modules.saltutil.sync_all.

       The directories are named:

       • _modules_states_grains_renderers_returners

       The modules are pushed to their respective scopes on the minions.

   Module Reloading
       Modules  can  now  be  reloaded  without  restarting  the  minion,  this   is   done   by   calling   the
       salt.modules.sys.reload_modules function.

       But  wait,  there's  more!  Now  when  a  salt module of any type is added via states the modules will be
       automatically reloaded, allowing for modules to be laid down with states and then immediately used.

       Finally, all modules are reloaded when modules are dynamically distributed from the salt master.

   Enable / Disable Added to Service
       A great deal of demand has existed for adding the capability to set services to be started at boot in the
       service module. This feature also comes with an overhaul of  the  service  modules  and  initial  systemd
       support.

       This  means  that  the  service  state can now accept - enable: True to make sure a service is enabled at
       boot, and - enable: False to make sure it is disabled.

   Compound Target
       A new target type has been added to the lineup, the compound target. In  previous  versions  the  desired
       minions  could only be targeted via a single specific target type, but now many target specifications can
       be declared.

       These targets can also be separated by and/or operators, so certain properties can  be  used  to  omit  a
       node:

          salt -C 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@db.*' test.ping

       will  match  all  minions  with  ids  starting with webserv via a glob and minions matching the os:Debian
       grain. Or minions that match the db.* regular expression.

   Node Groups
       Often the convenience of having a predefined group of minions to execute targets on is desired. This  can
       be  accomplished  with the new nodegroups feature. Nodegroups allow for predefined compound targets to be
       declared in the master configuration file:

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com and bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'

       And then used via the -N option:

          salt -N group1 test.ping

   Minion Side Data Store
       The data module introduces the initial approach into storing persistent data on the minions, specific  to
       the  minions.  This  allows for data to be stored on minions that can be accessed from the master or from
       the minion.

       The Minion datastore is young, and will  eventually  provide  an  interface  similar  to  a  more  mature
       key/value pair server.

   Major Grains Improvement
       The  Salt  grains have been overhauled to include a massive amount of extra data.  this includes hardware
       data, os data and salt specific data.

   Salt -Q is Useful Now
       In the past the salt query system, which would display the data from recent executions would be displayed
       in pure Python, and it was unreadable.

       0.9.5 has added the outputter system to the -Q option, thus enabling the  salt  query  system  to  return
       readable output.

   Packaging Updates
       Huge  strides  have  been  made  in  packaging  Salt for distributions. These additions are thanks to our
       wonderful community where the work to set up packages has proceeded tirelessly.

   FreeBSD
       Salt on FreeBSD? There a port for that:

       https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/py-salt/

       This port was developed and added by Christer Edwards. This also marks  the  first  time  Salt  has  been
       included in an upstream packaging system!

   Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise
       Salt packages have been prepared for inclusion in the Fedora Project and in EPEL for Red Hat Enterprise 5
       and 6. These packages are the result of the efforts made by Clint Savage (herlo).

   Debian/Ubuntu
       A  team  of  many  contributors have assisted in developing packages for Debian and Ubuntu. Salt is still
       actively seeking inclusion in upstream Debian and Ubuntu and the package data that has been  prepared  is
       being pushed through the needed channels for inclusion.

       These packages have been prepared with the help of:

       • Corey

       • Aaron Toponce

       • and`

   More to Come
       We  are  actively  seeking  inclusion  in  more  distributions. Primarily getting Salt into Gentoo, SUSE,
       OpenBSD, and preparing Solaris support are all turning into higher priorities.

   Refinement
       Salt continues to be refined into a faster, more stable and more usable  application.  0.9.5  comes  with
       more debug logging, more bug fixes and more complete support.

   More Testing, More BugFixes
       0.9.5  comes with more bugfixes due to more testing than any previous release.  The growing community and
       the introduction a dedicated QA environment have unearthed many issues that were hiding under the covers.
       This has further refined and cleaned the state interface, taking care of things from minor visual  issues
       to repairing misleading data.

   Custom Exceptions
       A  custom  exception  module  has been added to throw salt specific exceptions.  This allows Salt to give
       much more granular error information.

   New Modules
   data
       The new data module manages a persistent datastore on the minion.  Big thanks  to  bastichelaar  for  his
       help refining this module

   freebsdkmod
       FreeBSD kernel modules can now be managed in the same way Salt handles Linux kernel modules.

       This module was contributed thanks to the efforts of Christer Edwards

   gentoo_service
       Support  has  been  added  for  managing services in Gentoo. Now Gentoo services can be started, stopped,
       restarted, enabled, disabled, and viewed.

   pip
       The pip module introduces management for pip installed applications.  Thanks goes  to  whitinge  for  the
       addition of the pip module

   rh_service
       The  rh_service  module enables Red Hat and Fedora specific service management.  Now Red Hat like systems
       come with extensive management of the classic init system used by Red Hat

   saltutil
       The saltutil module has been added as a place to hold functions used in the maintenance and management of
       salt itself. Saltutil is used to salt the salt minion. The saltutil module is presently used only to sync
       extension modules from the master server.

   systemd
       Systemd support has been added to Salt, now systems using this next generation init system are  supported
       on systems running systemd.

   virtualenv
       The virtualenv module has been added to allow salt to create virtual Python environments.  Thanks goes to
       whitinge for the addition of the virtualenv module

   win_disk
       Support  for gathering disk information on Microsoft Windows minions The windows modules come courtesy of
       Utah_Dave

   win_service
       The win_service module adds service support to Salt for Microsoft Windows services

   win_useradd
       Salt can now manage local users on Microsoft Windows Systems

   yumpkg5
       The yumpkg module introduces in 0.9.4 uses the  yum  API  to  interact  with  the  yum  package  manager.
       Unfortunately,  on  Red  Hat  5  systems  salt does not have access to the yum API because the yum API is
       running under Python 2.4 and Salt needs to run under Python 2.6.

       The yumpkg5 module bypasses this issue by shelling out to yum  on  systems  where  the  yum  API  is  not
       available.

   New States
   mysql_database
       The  new  mysql_database state adds the ability to systems running a mysql server to manage the existence
       of mysql databases.

       The mysql states are thanks to syphernl

   mysql_user
       The mysql_user state enables mysql user management.

   virtualenv
       The virtualenv state can manage the state of Python virtual environments.  Thanks  to  Whitinge  for  the
       virtualenv state

   New Returners
   cassandra_returner
       A returner allowing Salt to send data to a cassandra server.  Thanks to Byron Clark for contributing this
       returner

   Salt 0.9.6 Release Notes
       release
              2012-01-21

       Salt  0.9.6  is a release targeting a few bugs and changes. This is primarily targeting an issue found in
       the names declaration in the state system. But a few other bugs were also repaired, like missing  support
       for grains in extmods.

       Due  to a conflict in distribution packaging msgpack will no longer be bundled with Salt, and is required
       as a dependency.

   New Features
   HTTP and ftp support in files.managed
       Now under the source option in the file.managed state a HTTP or ftp address can be used instead of a file
       located on the salt master.

   Allow Multiple Returners
       Now the returner interface can define multiple returners, and will also return data back to  the  master,
       making the process less ambiguous.

   Minion Memory Improvements
       A  number of modules have been taken out of the minion if the underlying systems required by said modules
       are not present on the minion system.  A number of other modules need to be stripped out in this same way
       which should continue to make the minion more efficient.

   Minions Can Locally Cache Return Data
       A new option, cache_jobs, has been added to the minion to allow for all of the historically run  jobs  to
       cache on the minion, allowing for looking up historic returns. By default cache_jobs is set to False.

   Pure Python Template Support For file.managed
       Templates  in  the file.managed state can now be defined in a Python script.  This script needs to have a
       run function that returns the string that needs to be in the named file.

   Salt 0.9.7 Release Notes
       release
              2012-02-15

       Salt 0.9.7 is here! The latest iteration of Salt brings more features and many fixes. This release  is  a
       great  refinement over 0.9.6, adding many conveniences under the hood, as well as some features that make
       working with Salt much better.

       A few highlights include the new Job system, refinements to the requisite system in states, the  mod_init
       interface  for  states, external node classification, search path to managed files in the file state, and
       refinements and additions to dynamic module loading.

       0.9.7 also introduces the long developed (and oft changed) unit  test  framework  and  the  initial  unit
       tests.

   Major Features
   Salt Jobs Interface
       The  new  jobs  interface  makes  the management of running executions much cleaner and more transparent.
       Building on the existing execution framework the jobs system allows clear introspection into  the  active
       running state of the running Salt interface.

       The  Jobs  interface  is  centered  in  the  new  minion  side proc system. The minions now store msgpack
       serialized files under /var/cache/salt/proc.  These files keep track of the active state of processes  on
       the minion.

   Functions in the saltutil Module
       A number of functions have been added to the saltutil module to manage and view the jobs:

       running - Returns the data of all running jobs that are found in the proc directory.

       find_job - Returns specific data about a certain job based on job id.

       signal_job - Allows for a given jid to be sent a signal.

       term_job - Sends a termination signal (SIGTERM, 15) to the process controlling the specified job.

       kill_job Sends a kill signal (SIGKILL, 9) to the process controlling the specified job.

   The jobs Runner
       A  convenience  runner  front  end and reporting system has been added as well.  The jobs runner contains
       functions to make viewing data easier and cleaner.

       The jobs runner contains a number of functions...

   active
       The active function runs saltutil.running on all minions and formats the return data  about  all  running
       jobs  in  a  much  more  usable and compact format.  The active function will also compare jobs that have
       returned and jobs that are still running, making it easier to see what systems have completed a  job  and
       what systems are still being waited on.

   lookup_jid
       When  jobs  are executed the return data is sent back to the master and cached.  By default is cached for
       24 hours, but this can be configured via the keep_jobs option in the master configuration.

       Using the lookup_jid runner will display the same return data that the initial job  invocation  with  the
       salt command would display.

   list_jobs
       Before  finding  a  historic job, it may be required to find the job id.  list_jobs will parse the cached
       execution data and display all of the job data for jobs that have already, or partially returned.

   External Node Classification
       Salt can now use external node classifiers like Cobbler's cobbler-ext-nodes.

       Salt uses specific data from the external node classifier. In particular the classes value denotes  which
       sls modules to run, and the environment value sets to another environment.

       An  external  node  classification  can  be  set  in the master configuration file via the external_nodes
       option: https://salt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/configuration/master.html#external-nodes

       External nodes are loaded in addition to the top files. If it is intended to only use external nodes,  do
       not deploy any top files.

   State Mod Init System
       An  issue  arose  with the pkg state. Every time a package was run Salt would need to refresh the package
       database. This made systems with slower package metadata refresh speeds much  slower  to  work  with.  To
       alleviate this issue the mod_init interface has been added to salt states.

       The mod_init interface is a function that can be added to a state file.  This function is called with the
       first  state  called.  In  the case of the pkg state, the mod_init function sets up a tag which makes the
       package database only refresh on the first attempt to install a package.

       In a nutshell, the mod_init interface allows a state to run any command that only needs to be  run  once,
       or can be used to set up an environment for working with the state.

   Source File Search Path
       The  file  state continues to be refined, adding speed and capabilities. This release adds the ability to
       pass a list to the source option. This list is then iterated over until the source file is found, and the
       first found file is used.

       The new syntax looks like this:

          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
            file:
              - managed
              - source:
                - salt://httpd/httpd.conf
                - http://myserver/httpd.conf: md5=8c1fe119e6f1fd96bc06614473509bf1

       The source option can take sources in the list from the salt file server as  well  as  an  arbitrary  web
       source. If using an arbitrary web source the checksum needs to be passed as well for file verification.

   Refinements to the Requisite System
       A  few  discrepancies were still lingering in the requisite system, in particular, it was not possible to
       have a require and a watch requisite declared in the same state declaration.

       This issue has been alleviated, as well as making the requisite system run more quickly.

   Initial Unit Testing Framework
       Because of the module system, and the need to test real scenarios,  the  development  of  a  viable  unit
       testing  system  has  been  difficult,  but unit testing has finally arrived. Only a small amount of unit
       testing coverage has been developed, much more coverage will be in place soon.

       A huge thanks goes out to those who have helped with unit testing, and the contributions that  have  been
       made to get us where we are. Without these contributions unit tests would still be in the dark.

   Compound Targets Expanded
       Originally  only  support for and and or were available in the compound target. 0.9.7 adds the capability
       to negate compound targets with not.

   Nodegroups in the Top File
       Previously the nodegroups defined in the master configuration file could not be used to match  nodes  for
       states.  The  nodegroups support has been expanded and the nodegroups defined in the master configuration
       can now be used to match minions in the top file.

   Salt 0.9.8 Release Notes
       release
              2012-03-21

       Salt 0.9.8 is a big step forward, with many additions and enhancements, as well as a number of precursors
       to advanced future developments.

       This version of Salt adds much more power to the command line, making the old hard timeout issues a thing
       of the past and adds keyword argument support. These additions are also available in the salt client API,
       making the available API tools much more powerful.

       The new pillar system allows for data to be stored on the master and assigned to minions  in  a  granular
       way  similar to the state system. It also allows flexibility for users who want to keep data out of their
       state tree similar to 'external lookup' functionality in other tools.

       A new way to extend requisites was added, the "requisite in" statement.  This makes  adding  requires  or
       watch statements to external state decs much easier.

       Additions to requisites making them much more powerful have been added as well as improved error checking
       for  sls  files  in  the state system. A new provider system has been added to allow for redirecting what
       modules run in the background for individual states.

       Support for openSUSE has been added and support  for  Solaris  has  begun  serious  development.  Windows
       support has been significantly enhanced as well.

       The  matcher  and  target  systems have received a great deal of attention. The default behavior of grain
       matching has changed slightly to reflect the rest of salt  and  the  compound  matcher  system  has  been
       refined.

       A  number  of impressive features with keyword arguments have been added to both the CLI and to the state
       system. This makes states much more powerful and flexible  while  maintaining  the  simple  configuration
       everyone loves.

       The  new  batch  size capability allows for executions to be rolled through a group of targeted minions a
       percentage or specific number at a time. This was added to prevent the  "thundering  herd"  problem  when
       targeting large numbers of minions for things like service restarts or file downloads.

   Upgrade Considerations
   Upgrade Issues
       There  was  a previously missed oversight which could cause a newer minion to crash an older master. That
       oversight has been resolved so the version incompatibility issue will no longer occur. When upgrading  to
       0.9.8 make sure to upgrade the master first, followed by the minions.

   Debian/Ubuntu Packages
       The  original Debian/Ubuntu packages were called salt and included all salt applications. New packages in
       the ppa are split by function. If an old salt package is installed then it should be manually removed and
       the new split packages need to be freshly installed.

       On the master:

          # apt-get purge salt
          # apt-get install salt-{master,minion}

       On the minions:

          # apt-get purge salt
          # apt-get install salt-minion

       And on any Syndics:

          # apt-get install salt-syndic

       The official Salt PPA for Ubuntu is located at: https://launchpad.net/~saltstack/+archive/ubuntu/salt

   Major Features
   Pillar
       Pillar offers an interface to declare variable data on the master that is then assigned to  the  minions.
       The pillar data is made available to all modules, states, sls files etc. It is compiled on the master and
       is  declared using the existing renderer system. This means that learning pillar should be fairly trivial
       to those already familiar with salt states.

   CLI Additions
       The salt command has received a serious overhaul and is more powerful than ever. Data is returned to  the
       terminal  as  it  is  received, and the salt command will now wait for all running minions to return data
       before stopping.  This makes adding very large --timeout arguments completely unnecessary and gets rid of
       long running operations returning empty {} when the timeout is exceeded.

       When calling salt via sudo, the user originally running salt is saved to the log for  auditing  purposes.
       This makes it easy to see who ran what by just looking through the minion logs.

       The salt-key command gained the -D and --delete-all arguments for removing all keys. Be careful with this
       one!

   Running States Without a Master
       The addition of running states without a salt-master has been added to 0.9.8. This feature allows for the
       unmodified salt state tree to be read locally from a minion. The result is that the UNMODIFIED state tree
       has  just  become portable, allowing minions to have a local copy of states or to manage states without a
       master entirely.

       This is accomplished via the new file client interface in Salt that allows for  the  salt://  URI  to  be
       redirected  to  custom interfaces. This means that there are now two interfaces for the salt file server,
       calling the master or looking in a local, minion defined file_roots.

       This new feature can be used by modifying the minion config to point to a local  file_roots  and  setting
       the file_client option to local.

   Keyword Arguments and States
       State  modules  now  accept  the  **kwargs argument. This results in all data in a sls file assigned to a
       state being made available to the state function.

       This passes data in a transparent way back to the modules  executing  the  logic.   In  particular,  this
       allows  adding  arguments  to the pkg.install module that enable more advanced and granular controls with
       respect to what the state is capable of.

       An example of this along with the new debconf module for installing ldap client packages on Debian:

          ldap-client-packages:
            pkg:
              - debconf: salt://debconf/ldap-client.ans
              - installed
              - names:
                - nslcd
                - libpam-ldapd
                - libnss-ldapd

   Keyword Arguments and the CLI
       In the past it was required that all arguments be passed in the proper order to the  salt  and  salt-call
       commands. As of 0.9.8, keyword arguments can be passed in the form of kwarg=argument.

          # salt -G 'type:dev' git.clone \
              repository=https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git cwd=/tmp/salt user=jeff

   Matcher Refinements and Changes
       A  number of fixes and changes have been applied to the Matcher system. The most noteworthy is the change
       in the grain matcher. The grain matcher used to use a regular expression to match the passed  data  to  a
       grain,  but  now  defaults to a shell glob like the majority of match interfaces in Salt. A new option is
       available that still uses the old style regex matching to grain data  called  grain-pcre.  To  use  regex
       matching in compound matches use the letter P.

       For example, this would match any ArchLinux or Fedora minions:

          # salt --grain-pcre 'os:(Arch:Fed).*' test.ping

       And the associated compound matcher suitable for top.sls is P:

          P@os:(Arch|Fed).*

       NOTE: Changing the grains matcher from pcre to glob is backwards incompatible.

       Support  has been added for matching minions with Yahoo's range library. This is handled by passing range
       syntax with -R or --range arguments to salt.

   Requisite in
       A new means to updating requisite statements has been added to  make  adding  watchers  and  requires  to
       external  states  easier.  Before  0.9.8  the  only way to extend the states that were watched by a state
       outside of the sls was to use an extend statement:

          include:
            - http
          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - pkg: tomcat

          tomcat:
            pkg:
              - installed

       But the new Requisite in statement allows for easier extends for requisites:

          include:
            - http

          tomcat:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       Requisite in is part of the extend system, so still remember to always include  the  sls  that  is  being
       extended!

   Providers
       Salt  predetermines what modules should be mapped to what uses based on the properties of a system. These
       determinations are generally made for modules that provide things like package  and  service  management.
       The apt module maps to pkg on Debian and the yum module maps to pkg on Fedora for instance.

       Sometimes  in  states,  it  may  be  necessary  for  a  non-default  module  to  be  used for the desired
       functionality. For instance, an Arch Linux system may have been set up with systemd support.  Instead  of
       using the default service module detected for Arch Linux, the systemd module can be used:

          http:
            service:
              - running
              - enable: True
              - provider: systemd

       Default providers can also be defined in the minion config file:

          providers:
            service: systemd

       When  default  providers  are  passed  in  the minion config, then those providers will be applied to all
       functionality in Salt, this means that the functions called by the minion will use these modules, as well
       as states.

   Requisite Glob Matching
       Requisites can now be defined with glob expansion. This means that if there are many requisites, they can
       be defined on a single line.

       To watch all files in a directory:

          http:
            service:
              - running
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/http/conf.d/*

       This example will watch all defined files that match the glob /etc/http/conf.d/*

   Batch Size
       The new batch size option allows commands to be executed while maintaining that only so  many  hosts  are
       executing the command at one time. This option can take a percentage or a finite number:

          salt '*' -b 10 test.ping

          salt -G 'os:RedHat' --batch-size 25% apache.signal restart

       This  will  only  run test.ping on 10 of the targeted minions at a time and then restart apache on 25% of
       the minions matching os:RedHat at a time and work through them all until the task is complete. This makes
       jobs like rolling web server restarts behind a load balancer or doing maintenance on BSD firewalls  using
       carp much easier with salt.

   Module Updates
       This is a list of notable, but non-exhaustive updates with new and existing modules.

       Windows  support has seen a flurry of support this release cycle. We've gained all new file, network, and
       shadow modules. Please note that these are still a work in progress.

       For our ruby users, new rvm and gem modules have been added along with the associated states

       The virt module gained basic Xen support.

       The yum module gained Scientific Linux support.

       The pkg module on Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives force apt  to  run  in  a  non-interactive  mode.  This
       prevents issues when package installation waits for confirmation.

       A pkg module for OpenSUSE's zypper was added.

       The service module on Ubuntu natively supports upstart.

       A  new  debconf  module  was  contributed  by  our  community  for more advanced control over deb package
       deployments on Debian based distributions.

       The mysql.user state and mysql module gained a password_hash argument.

       The cmd module and state gained a shell keyword argument for specifying a shell  other  than  /bin/sh  on
       Linux / Unix systems.

       New git and mercurial modules have been added for fans of distributed version control.

   In Progress Development
   Master Side State Compiling
       While  we feel strongly that the advantages gained with minion side state compiling are very critical, it
       does prevent certain features that may be desired. 0.9.8  has  support  for  initial  master  side  state
       compiling,  but  many  more components still need to be developed, it is hoped that these can be finished
       for 0.9.9.

       The goal is that states can be compiled on both the master and the minion allowing for compilation to  be
       split  between  master  and  minion.  Why will this be great? It will allow storing sensitive data on the
       master and sending it to some minions without all minions having access to it.  This  will  be  good  for
       handling ssl certificates on front-end web servers for instance.

   Solaris Support
       Salt  0.9.8  sees the introduction of basic Solaris support. The daemon runs well, but grains and more of
       the modules need updating and testing.

   Windows Support
       Salt states on windows are now much more viable thanks to contributions from our  community!  States  for
       file,  service,  local user, and local group management are more fully fleshed out along with network and
       disk modules. Windows users can also now manage registry entries using the new "reg" module.

   Salt 0.9.9 Release Notes
       release
              2012-04-27

       0.9.9 is out and comes with some serious bug fixes and even more serious features. This  release  is  the
       last major feature release before 1.0.0 and could be considered the 1.0.0 release candidate.

       A  few updates include more advanced kwargs support, the ability for salt states to more safely configure
       a running salt minion, better job directory management and the new state test interface.

       Many new tests have been added as well, including the new  minion  swarm  test  that  allows  for  easier
       testing  of Salt working with large groups of minions.  This means that if you have experienced stability
       issues with Salt before, particularly in larger deployments, that these bugs have been tested for, found,
       and killed.

   Major Features
   State Test Interface
       Until 0.9.9 the only option when running states to see what was going to be changed was to print out  the
       highstate with state.show_highstate and manually look it over. But now states can be run to discover what
       is going to be changed.

       Passing  the option test=True to many of the state functions will now cause the salt state system to only
       check for what is going to be changed and report on those changes.

          salt '*' state.highstate test=True

       Now states that would have made changes report them back in yellow.

   State Syntax Update
       A shorthand syntax has been added to sls files, and it will be the default syntax in documentation  going
       forward.  The  old  syntax  is still fully supported and will not be deprecated, but it is recommended to
       move to the new syntax in the future. This change moves the state function up into the state name using a
       dot notation. This is in-line with how state functions are generally referred to as well:

       The new way:

          /etc/sudoers:
            file.present:
              - source: salt://sudo/sudoers
              - user: root
              - mode: 400

   Use and Use_in Requisites
       Two new requisite statements are available in 0.9.9. The use and use_in requisite and requisite-in  allow
       for  the  transparent duplication of data between states. When a state "uses" another state it copies the
       other state's arguments as defaults. This was created in direct response to the new  network  state,  and
       allows for many network interfaces to be configured in the same way easily. A simple example:

          root_file:
            file.absent:
              - name: /tmp/nothing
              - user: root
              - mode: 644
              - group: root
              - use_in:
                - file: /etc/vimrc

          fred_file:
            file.absent:
              - name: /tmp/nothing
              - user: fred
              - group: marketing
              - mode: 660

          /files/marketing/district7.rst:
            file.present:
              - source: salt://marketing/district7.rst
              - template: jinja
              - use:
                - file: fred_file

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.present:
              - source: salt://edit/vimrc

       This makes the 2 lower state decs inherit the options from their respectively "used" state decs.

   Network State
       The  new  network  state  allows for the configuration of network devices via salt states and the ip salt
       module. This addition has been given to  the  project  by  Jeff  Hutchins  and  Bret  Palsson  from  Jive
       Communications.

       Currently  the  only  network  configuration backend available is for Red Hat based systems, like Red Hat
       Enterprise, CentOS, and Fedora.

   Exponential Jobs
       Originally the jobs executed were stored on the master in the  format:  <cachedir>/jobs/jid/{minion  ids}
       But this format restricted the number of jobs in the cache to the number of subdirectories allowed on the
       filesystem. Ext3 for instance limits subdirectories to 32000. To combat this the new format for 0.9.9 is:
       <cachedir>/jobs/jid_hash[:2]/jid_hash[2:]/{minion ids} So that now the number of maximum jobs that can be
       run before the cleanup cycle hits the job directory is substantially higher.

   ssh_auth Additions
       The original ssh_auth state was limited to accepting only arguments to apply to a public key, and the key
       itself.  This was restrictive due to the way the we learned that many people were using the state, so the
       key section has been expanded to accept options and arguments to the key that over ride arguments  passed
       in the state. This gives substantial power to using ssh_auth with names:

          sshkeys:
            ssh_auth:
              - present
              - user: backup
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - options:
                - option1="value1"
                - option2="value2 flag2"
              - comment: backup

   LocalClient Additions
       To  follow  up the recent additions in 0.9.8 of additional kwargs support, 0.9.9 also adds the capability
       to send kwargs into commands via a dict.  This addition to the LocalClient api can be used like so:

          import salt.client

          client = salt.client.LocalClient("/etc/salt/master")
          ret = client.cmd("*", "cmd.run", ["ls -l"], kwarg={"cwd": "/etc"})

       This update has been added to all cmd methods in the LocalClient class.

   Better Self Salting
       One problem faced with running Salt states, is that it has been difficult to manage the Salt  minion  via
       states,  this  is  due to the fact that if the minion is called to restart while a state run is happening
       then the state run would be killed. 0.9.9 slightly changes the process scope of the state  runs,  so  now
       when salt is executing states it can safely restart the salt-minion daemon.

       In  addition to daemonizing the state run, the apt module also daemonizes.  This update makes it possible
       to cleanly update the salt-minion package on Debian/Ubuntu systems without leaving apt in an inconsistent
       state or killing the active minion process mid-execution.

   Wildcards for SLS Modules
       Now, when including sls modules in include statements or in the top file, shell globs can be  used.  This
       can greatly simplify listing matched sls modules in the top file and include statements:

          base:
            '*':
              - files*
              - core*

          include:
            - users.dev.*
            - apache.ser*

   External Pillar
       Since  the  pillar  data is just, data, it does not need to come expressly from the pillar interface. The
       external pillar system allows for hooks to be added making it possible to extract pillar  data  from  any
       arbitrary  external  interface.  The  external  pillar interface is configured via the ext_pillar option.
       Currently interfaces exist to gather external pillar data via hiera or via a  shell  command  that  sends
       yaml data to the terminal:

          ext_pillar:
            - cmd_yaml: cat /etc/salt/ext.yaml
            - hiera: /etc/hirea.yaml

       The  initial  external pillar interfaces and extra interfaces can be added to the file salt/pillar.py, it
       is planned to add more external pillar interfaces.  If the need arises a new module loader interface will
       be created in the future to manage external pillar interfaces.

   Single State Executions
       The new state.single function allows for single states to be cleanly executed.  This is a great tool  for
       setting up a small group of states on a system or for testing out the behavior of single states:

          salt '*' state.single user.present name=wade uid=2000

       The test interface functions here as well, so changes can also be tested against as:

          salt '*' state.single user.present name=wade uid=2000 test=True

   New Tests
       A  few  exciting  new test interfaces have been added, the minion swarm allows not only testing of larger
       loads, but also allows users to see how Salt behaves with large  groups  of  minions  without  having  to
       create a large deployment.

   Minion Swarm
       The  minion  swarm  test  system  allows  for large groups of minions to be tested against easily without
       requiring large numbers of servers or virtual machines. The minion swarm creates as  many  minions  as  a
       system can handle and roots them in the /tmp directory and connects them to a master.

       The  benefit  here is that we were able to replicate issues that happen only when there are large numbers
       of minions. A number of elusive bugs which were causing stability issues  in  masters  and  minions  have
       since  been  hunted  down.   Bugs  that  used to take careful watch by users over several days can now be
       reliably replicated in minutes, and fixed in minutes.

       Using the swarm is easy, make sure a master is up  for  the  swarm  to  connect  to,  and  then  use  the
       minionswarm.py  script in the tests directory to spin up as many minions as you want. Remember, this is a
       fork bomb, don't spin up more than your hardware can handle!

          python minionswarm.py -m 20 --master salt-master

   Shell Tests
       The new Shell testing system allows us to test the behavior of commands executed from a high level.  This
       allows for the high level testing of salt runners and commands like salt-key.

   Client Tests
       Tests  have  been added to test the aspects of the client APIs and ensure that the client calls work, and
       that they manage passed data, in a desirable way.

   Upcoming Release
   Salt 3004 Release Notes - Codename Silicon
   New Features
   Transactional System Support (MicroOS)
       A transactional system, like MicroOS, can present some challenges when the user decided to manage it  via
       Salt.

       MicroOS provide a read-only rootfs and a tool, transactional-update, that takes care of the management of
       the system (updating, upgrading, installation or reboot, among others) in an atomic way.

       Atomicity  is  the main feature of MicroOS, and to guarantee this property, this model leverages snapper,
       zypper, btrfs and overlayfs to create snapshots that will  be  updated  independently  of  the  currently
       running  system,  and  that are activated after the reboot.  This implies, for example, that some changes
       made on the system are not visible until the next reboot, as those changes  are  living  in  a  different
       snapshot of the file system.

       Salt  3004 (Silicon) support this type of system via two new modules (transactional_update and rebootmgr)
       and a new executor (transactional_update).

       The new modules will provide all the low level API  for  interacting  with  transactional  systems,  like
       defining  a  mantenance  window where the system is free to reboot and activate the new state, or install
       new software in a new transaction.  It will also provide hight level of abstractions that will allows  us
       to execute Salt module functions or applying states inside new transactions.

       The  execution  module will help us to treat the transactional system transparently (like the traditional
       ones), using a mechanism that will delegate some Salt modules execution into the new transactional_update
       module.

   Removed
       • Removed the deprecated glance state and execution module in favor of the glance_image state module  and
         the glanceng execution module. (#59079)

       • Removed support for Ubuntu 16.04 (#59869)

       • Removed the deprecated support for gid_from_name from the user state module (#60565)

   Deprecated
       • The _ext_nodes alias to the  master_tops  function  was  added  back  in  3004  to  maintain  backwards

   Salt 3004.1 Release Notes
       Version 3004.1 is a CVE security fix release for 3004.

   Important notice about upgrading
       Version 3004.1 is a security release. 3004.1 minions are not able to communicate with masters older  than
       3004.1. You must upgrade your masters before upgrading minions.

   Minion authentication security
       Authentication  between masters and minions rely on public/private key encryption and message signing. To
       secure minion authentication before you must pre-seed the master's public key on minions. To pre-seed the
       minions' master key, place a  copy  of  the  master's  public  key  in  the  minion's  pki  directory  as
       minion_master.pub.

   Security
       • Sign authentication replies to prevent MiTM (cve-2022-22935)

       • Prevent job and fileserver replays (cve-2022-22936)

       • Sign pillar data to prevent MiTM attacks. (cve-2202-22934)

       • Fixed targeting bug, especially visible when using syndic and user auth. (CVE-2022-22941) (#60413)

       • Fix denial of service in junos ifconfig output parsing.

VENAFI TOOLS FOR SALT

   Introduction
       First,  you  need  to  configure  the  master file. This is because all module functions require either a
       configured api_key (for Cloud) or a ttp_user with a tpp_password and a base_url (for Trust Platform).

       For Venafi Cloud:

          venafi:
            api_key: abcdef01-2345-6789-abcd-ef0123456789
            base_url: "https://cloud.venafi.example.com/"    (optional)

       If you don't have a Venafi Cloud account, you can sign up for one on the enrollment page.

       For Venafi Platform:

          venafi:
            base_url: "https://tpp.example.com/"
            tpp_user: admin
            tpp_password: "Str0ngPa$$w0rd"
            trust_bundle: "/opt/venafi/bundle.pem"

       It is not common for the Venafi Platform's REST API (WebSDK) to be secured using a certificate issued  by
       a  publicly  trusted  CA,  therefore establishing trust for that server certificate is a critical part of
       your configuration. Ideally this is done by obtaining the root CA certificate in the issuing chain in PEM
       format and copying that file to your Salt Master (e.g. /opt/venafi/bundle.pem). You then  reference  that
       file using the 'trust_bundle' parameter as shown above.

       For the Venafi module to create keys and certificates it is necessary to enable external pillars. This is
       done by adding the following to the /etc/salt/master file:

          ext_pillar:
            - venafi: True

   Runner Functions
   request
       This command is used to enroll a certificate from Venafi Cloud or Venafi Platform.

       minion_id
              ID of the minion for which the certificate is being issued. Required.

       dns_name
              DNS subject name for the certificate. Required if csr_path is not specified.

       csr_path
              Full  path  name  of  certificate  signing  request  file  to  enroll. Required if dns_name is not
              specified.

       zone   Venafi Cloud zone ID or Venafi Platform folder that specify key and certificate  policy.  Defaults
              to  "Default".  For  Venafi Cloud, the Zone ID can be found in the Zone page for your Venafi Cloud
              project.

       org_unit
              Business Unit, Department, etc. Do not specify if it does not apply.

       org    Exact legal name of your organization. Do not abbreviate.

       loc    City/locality where your organization is legally located.

       state  State or province where your organization is legally located. Must not be abbreviated.

       country
              Country where your organization is legally located; two-letter ISO code.

       key_password
              Password for encrypting the private key.

       The syntax for requesting a new certificate with private key generation looks like this:

          salt-run venafi.request minion.example.com dns_name=www.example.com \
          country=US state=California loc=Sacramento org="Company Name" org_unit=DevOps \
          zone=Internet key_password=SecretSauce

       And the syntax for requesting a new certificate using a previously generated CSR looks like this:

          salt-run venafi.request minion.example.com csr_path=/tmp/minion.req zone=Internet

   show_cert
       This command is used to show last issued certificate for domain.

       dns_name
              DNS subject name of the certificate to look up.

          salt-run venafi.show_cert www.example.com

   list_domain_cache
       This command lists domains that have been cached on this Salt Master.

          salt-run venafi.list_domain_cache

   del_cached_domain
       This command deletes a domain from the Salt Master's cache.

       domains
              A domain name, or a comma-separated list of domain names, to delete from this master's cache.

          salt-run venafi.del_cached_domain www.example.com

   Transfer certificate to a minion
       To transfer a cached certificate to a minion, you can use Venafi pillar.

       Example state (SLS) file:

          /etc/ssl/cert/www.example.com.crt:
            file.managed:
                - contents_pillar: venafi:www.example.com:cert
                - replace: True

          /etc/ssl/cert/www.example.com.key:
            file.managed:
                - contents_pillar: venafi:www.example.com:pkey
                - replace: True

          /etc/ssl/cert/www.example.com-chain.pem:
            file.managed:
                - contents_pillar: venafi:www.example.com:chain
                - replace: True

              a host. See also: salt-bootstrap.

       Compound Matcher
              A  combination  of  many target definitions that can be combined with boolean operators. See also:
              targeting.

       EAuth  Shorthand for 'external authentication'. A system for calling to a system outside of Salt in order
              to authenticate users and determine if they are allowed to issue particular commands to Salt.  See
              also: external auth.

       Environment
              A directory tree containing state files which can be applied to minions. See also: top file.

       Execution Function
              A  Python  function  inside  an  Execution  Module  that  may take arguments and performs specific
              system-management tasks. See also: the list of execution modules.

       External Job Cache
              An external data-store that can archive information about jobs  that  have  been  run.  A  default
              returner. See also: ext_job_cache, the list of returners.

       Execution Module
              A Python module that contains execution functions which directly perform various system-management
              tasks  on  a  server. Salt ships with a number of execution modules but users can also write their
              own execution modules to perform specialized tasks. See also: the list of execution modules.

       External Pillar
              A  module  that  accepts  arbitrary  arguments  and  returns  a  dictionary.   The  dictionary  is
              automatically added to a pillar for a minion.

       Event  A  notice emitted onto an event bus. Events are often driven by requests for actions to occur on a
              minion or master and the results of those actions. See also: Salt Reactor.

       File Server
              A local or remote location for storing both Salt-specific files such as top files or SLS files  as
              well  as  files  that can be distributed to minions, such as system configuration files. See also:
              Salt's file server.

       Grain  A key-value pair which contains a fact about a system, such as its  hostname,  network  addresses.
              See also: targeting with grains.

       Highdata
              The  data  structure  in  a  SLS  file the represents a set of state declarations. See also: state

              The collection of states to be applied to a system. See also: state layers.

       Idempotent
              An action that ensures the system is in a well-known state regardless of the system's state before
              the action is applied.  A corollary to this is that applying the action multiple times results  in
              no  changes  to  the  system.   State  module  functions  should be idempotent.  Some state module
              functions, such as cmd.run are not idempotent by default but  can  be  made  idempotent  with  the
              proper use of requisites such as unless and onlyif. For more information, see wikipedia.

       Jinja  A  templating  language  which  allows  variables and simple logic to be dynamically inserted into
              static text files when they are rendered.  See also: Salt's Jinja documentation.

       Job    The complete set of tasks to be performed by the execution of a Salt command are a single job. See
              also: jobs runner.

       Job Cache
              A storage location for job results, which may then be queried by a  salt  runner  or  an  external
              system. May be local to a salt master or stored externally.

       Job ID A unique identifier to represent a given job.  This is often shortened to JID.
