Description

SaltStack is a way to apply "states" to a bunch of servers. It is easy to customize the states based on a central configuration files (pillar) or nodes spec (grains). We coupled this software with kickstart and clush to be able to re install a node or server untenanted. This permits to re-install the whole cluster on a regular basis instead of updating it.
