This is the code repository for Learning Salt [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
SaltStack automates the management and configuration of any infrastructure or application at scale. It provides an arsenal of tools to execute commands across thousands of systems with ease.
Learning Saltstack will start from scratch and build towards a high-level goal of installing, configuring, deploying, and managing a web application to Docker containers across multiple systems behind a HAProxy load balancer. The course will start by explaining how Salt approaches System management and help the viewer get up and running with a working Salt infrastructure. You will learn how to use Salt to target, query, and change systems.
You will learn to define the desired state of your infrastrucrture and how you can use Salt to enforce the state with a single command. The course will dive deeper into YAML and Jinja and show you the best practices for writing reusable and maintainable states. Finally, you will learn about some of the additional tools that salt provides, including salt-cloud, the reactor, and the event system.
By the end of the course, you would be able to build and manage your infrastructure and fully utilize its potential.
- Study feature selection and the feature engineering process
- Assess performance and error trade-offs for linear regression
- Build a data model and understand how it works by using different types of algorithm
- Learn to tune the parameters of Support Vector Machines (SVM)
- Explore the concept of natural language processing (NLP) and recommendation systems
- Create a machine learning architecture from scratch
To fully benefit from the coverage included in this course, you will need:
This course targets IT professionals, system admins, and DevOps teams looking to effectively deploy and manage their infrastructure with Salt. Some exposure to IT automation and configuration management tasks would be useful but not necessary
This course has the following software requirements:
