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.
