Description-en: Proxy client package for salt stack
Proxy minion allows a remote manager to administer devices that are unable to
run a minion. salt is a powerful remote execution manager that can be used to
administer servers in a fast and efficient way.
.
It allows commands to be executed across large groups of
devices. This means systems can be easily managed, but data can
also be easily gathered. Quick introspection into running
systems becomes a reality.
.
Remote execution is usually used to set up a certain state on a
remote system. Salt addresses this problem as well, the salt
state system uses salt state files to define the state a server
needs to be in.
.
Between the remote execution system, and state management Salt
addresses the backbone of cloud and data center management.
.
This particular package provides the salt proxy minion. It
is able to run salt modules and states on remote hosts via a proxy
which transmits appropriate commands to devices and replies with the
results of said commands.
