<p>Salt (often referred to as SaltStack) is the other configuration
management system built with Python.<br />
It takes a new approach to infrastructure management by developing
software that is easy enough to get running in seconds, scalable enough
to manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to control and
communicate with them in milliseconds.<br />
SaltStack software manages system infrastructure and the application
stacks that run on it and is used by web-scale application developers,
DevOps teams and systems administrators.<br />
VMware acquired SaltStack in October 2020.</p>
