Working with Remote Execution Modules in Salt Open
Andrew Mallett · Apress eBooks · 2021
We are now able to target selected Salt Minions, and, while that is exciting, we now need to learn to execute configuration commands. This is where Remote Execution modules step into the Salt configuration management stadium. When using test.ping, we made use of the test execution module and the ping function from within that module. All of these Salt modules are written in the Python scripting language and exist as an integral part of the Salt Minion; Remote Execution modules are both stored and executed on the Salt Minion and installed with the Salt Minion package.
