This book helped me come up to speed about Salt in just 3 days - I work in a company trying to migrate their apps to the cloud and one of the challenges was migrating from an older orchestration framework (mcollective) to Salt - chosen because of its consistent programming model and its scalability with speed.I just wished the book had more details about Salt's capability for different topologies and how we can leverage more with Runners by writing our own custom orchestration mechanism. But I understand that the authors PoV that this book is meant to show us the door about different powerful capabilities about Salt - and its website has the path to more details, which makes sense.
Too short for a book, too long for introduction to SaltStack, it is almost useless if you already use it. I wish this book be something like 'Ansible Up & Running' by Lorin Hochstein.
Good book
