Salt allows commands to be executed across large groups of servers. 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. </longdescription> <use> <flag name="cheetah">Enable support for <pkg>dev-python/cheetah3</pkg></flag> <flag name="cherrypy">Enable support for using cherrypy.</flag> <flag name="libcloud">Enable salt-cloud support via libcloud.</flag> <flag name="libvirt">Support managing virtual machines with <pkg>app-emulation/libvirt</pkg>.</flag> <flag name="genshi">Enable support for <pkg>dev-python/genshi</pkg></flag> <flag name="gnupg">Enable support for gnupg via python-gnupg.</flag> <flag name="mako">Add support for using the mako template engine for parsing salt states.</flag> <flag name="mongodb">Support returning data to a mongodb server.</flag> <flag name="neutron">Support the OpenStack neutron network service.</flag> <flag name="nova">Enable support for the OpenStack Nova API</flag> <flag name="openssl">Add support for using TLS via OpenSSL.</flag> <flag name="portage">Add support for package state enforcement using <pkg>sys-apps/portage</pkg></flag> <flag name="raet">Add support for the new RAET transport.</flag> <flag name="redis">Support returning data to a redis database.</flag> <flag name="zeromq">Add support for the zeromq transport.</flag> </use> <upstream> <remote-id type="pypi">salt</remote-id> <remote-id type="github">saltstack/salt-vim</remote-id> </upstream> </pkgmetadata>
