Salt is a distributed remote execution system used to execute commands and

query data. It was developed in order to bring the best solutions found in

malleable. Salt accomplishes this via its ability to handle larger loads of

information, and not just dozens, but hundreds or even thousands of individual

servers, handle them quickly and through a simple and manageable interface.
