Salt Cookbook
Because every Chef needs a little Salt.
Improved Remote Execution for Open Source Chef
Install Salt master and/or minion.
Why would anyone ever want to use both Salt and Chef?
I'm glad you asked!
Open Source Chef is weak in one key area that Salt just so happens to be very
strong: remote execution. knife ssh "name:*" "sudo chef-client"
really doesn't
scale very well.
Think of Salt as the Push Jobs plugin for Open Source Chef. They're even based
on the same basic messaging technology: ZeroMQ.
And as of SaltStack 2014.7, they have significantly improved Chef integration.
Want to do a chef client run on all your nodes: salt "*" chef.client
Then, you
can use the job management commands to check on the status of your run.
And since you made or are hopefully about to make the wise decision to use this
cookbook, you'll get even better Chef-Salt integration. The cookbook will
automatically sync up the metadata (grains in Salt parlance) between Chef and
Salt to allow you to filter on role or environment or custom markers.

Recipes
default
Nothing; reserved to include future LWRPs.
master
Install Salt master using OS package manager.
minion
Install Salt minion using OS package manager.
Resources/Providers
None at this time.
Usage
Define two roles named salt_master and salt_minion, which include the corresponding
recipes. The nodes will automatically discover each other within the same environment
(when using Chef Server).
If you want your Salt Masters to operate across all environments, set
node['salt']['minion']['environment']
to nil
for all minions; and set
node['salt']['master']['environment']
to nil
for all masters.
The cookbook will automatically manage the key exchange between minions and masters.
Note that once a new minion is setup, it will still be unable to communicate with the master(s)
until the next Chef run on the master(s). The minion recipe registers the minion's public key
and the master recipe then accepts any new keys that are registered with Chef.
Using Salt
Targetting Minions
This cookbook attempts to keep metadata synchronized between Chef and Salt.
Minions are automatically tagged (and updated on every chef-client run) with the
following two standard Salt grains:
-
environment contains the chef environment of the node:
salt -G "environment:production" ...
-
role contains a complete expanded list of roles assigned to the node (this includes roles within roles):
salt -G "role:salt_minion" ...
In addition, you can define your own custom grains using the node['salt']['minion']['grains']
attribute. See above.
