Home SaltStack-Formulas Project Introduction
Project History¶
Beginnings¶
The initial formula structure was created in 2013. The formulas were not even called formulas back then, but states. It was time of great confusion and the quality of newly created salt-formulas was low.
tcp cloud Era¶
The majority of formulas were rewritten to current standard structure and were used in production for cloud deployments. All the formulas were open-sourced and support metadata were instroduces in 2015.
openstack-salt Project¶
OpenStack-Salt project was OpenStack Big Tent initiative project in 2015/16 and provided resources for installing and operating OpenStack deployments. It used subset of the formulas and project was abandoned when tcp cloud was bought by Mirantis.
saltstack-formulas Project¶
The scope of current project is much wider than management of OpenStack installations and provides generic formula ecosystem capable of managing multiple heterogenous infrastructures.
