SaltStack software provides flexible, easy-to-use software for real-time infrastructure automation, cloud provisioning and orchestration, and application stack configuration management. SaltStack is known for its speed and its ability to scale unmodified to support environments with tens of thousands of systems with no performance or functional degradation. Since its launch as an open source project in February 2011, Salt has become one of the largest open source projects and communities in the world.
SaltStack was included in five Linux Journal Reader’s Choice categories, including:
- Best New Commercial Application
- Linux Product of the Year
- Best Open-Source Configuration Management Tool
- Best Monitoring Application
- Best Package Management Application
Shawn Powers, Linux Journal associate editor, said, “This year’s Reader’s Choice issue was truly fun to put together. No, not just because you do all the work (voting), but because it’s great to get a feel for what our community is buzzing about.”
