State Files

Write declarative YAML state files to define the desired state of your infrastructure. Install packages, manage files, and control services.

Labs in this module

First State - Create /srv/salt, write your first .sls state file, and apply it to a minion.
File States - Use file.managed to deploy configuration files from the Salt master to minions.
Service States - Combine pkg, file, and service states with the watch requisite for automatic service restarts.
Top File - Create top.sls to assign different states to different minions. Run state.highstate.
