Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to use environments and topfiles to organize your states. Now with a single command, you can enforce the state of your entire infrastructure with a single command.

After three chapters about the state system, you're now prepared to write simple and flexible states to define your own infrastructure.

From here, we will be exploring other features of Salt that will help manage your infrastructure. In the next chapter, we will explore Salt Cloud, and you will learn how to use it to manage your cloud servers.
