The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, February 10. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
SaltStack for SysAdmins
Theo Baschak will be presenting how to use SaltStack to make
your life easier, whether you administer a few hobby servers or
an entire fleet of corporate systems. Enforce good SysAdmin
(planning/testing/backup) skills by publishing templated
configs! Run security updates on all your systems at once. Run
pre-defined distributed Nagios host/service checks via the new
Nagios module! For those that haven't heard of SaltStack
before, it is a configuration management system that enforces
state. It is usually compared with Puppet and Chef, and has
been gaining popularity over the last few years.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of
every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and
August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a
MUUG member to attend.
