SaltStack

Event-driven infrastructure automation and configuration management

About SaltStack

An infrastructure automation and configuration management system built around a fast event bus, letting operators run remote execution and state management across very large fleets of servers. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
