Foreword

The Mastering SaltStack book is one of my favorite Salt books. This book will get you past the basics of Salt and into what makes it a truly powerful automation framework.

The best ways to take Salt to the next level are revealed in this book, in an easy-to-understand way that will help you solve your problems.

Joseph is the second person to write code for Salt (apart from me). He was the first engineer hired by SaltStack.
