This section introduces you to the Salt features added in SUSE Manager 3. This chapter assumes you have completed all previous Getting Started sections. At a minimum have the following setup:

  • A freshly installed SUSE Manager server with a main admin account and a synced product channel

  • Preferably two registered Salt minions to experiment with.

This guide does not attempt to cover all that Salt has to offer. This guide is a primer for using Salt with SUSE Manager. For comprehensive Salt documentation, see https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/contents.html.

The current version of Salt in SUSE Manager is 2018.3.0.
