SaltStack from Scratch
Learning to use the SaltStack tools. This course assume a knowledge of Linux administration but nothing about the SaltStack tools. From installation to on-going system monitoring and maintenance we look through the tools offered by SaltStack.
As with all ‘From Scratch’ courses this course is a companion to the Devops from Scratch (Technical Support)[Boo20a] course and follows a similar trajectory but with richer material specific to SaltStack.
