- Salt Cloud 0.8.4 Release Notes
- ==============================
- Welcome to 0.8.4! Aside from various bug fixes, the most important improvements
- in this release are to the deploy scripts. Read on to see what's happened.
- Documentation
- =============
- The documentation for Salt Cloud can be found on Read the Docs:
- https://salt-cloud.readthedocs.io
- Download
- ========
- Salt Cloud can be downloaded and install via pypi:
- https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt-cloud/salt-cloud-0.8.4.tar.gz
- Some packages have been made available for salt-cloud and more on their
- way. Packages for Arch and FreeBSD are being made available thanks to the
- work of Christer Edwards, and packages for RHEL and Fedora are being created
- by Clint Savage. The Ubuntu PPA is being managed by Sean Channel. Package
- availability will be announced on the salt mailing list.
- Salt Bootstrap
- ==============
- By far the biggest change to Salt Cloud is the inclusion of the salt-bootstrap
- script, made possible by the genius of Alec Koumjian and Pedro Algarvio. From
- this point on, each release of Salt Cloud will include the latest stable
- version of bootstrap-salt-minion.sh in the deploy folder. This is a generic,
- POSIX-compliant deployment script, which autodetects your OS, and installs
- the latest version of Salt accordingly. For more information, see:
- https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap
- To use this deploy script explicitly, set the script option to
- bootstrap-salt-minion in the profile for your VM. For instance:
- .. code-block:: yaml
- aws-archlinux:
- provider: aws
- image: ami-0356da6a
- size: Micro Instance
- script: bootstrap-salt-minion
- ssh_username: root
- For those of you still using "os" in your profiles, it should be noted that
- this option was renamed to "script" in 0.8.2, and your configuration should
- be updated accordingly.
- Optional Script Option
- ======================
- As mentioned above, usage of the "os" argument has been deprecated in favor of
- the "script" argument. However, "script" is now optional. If you do not
- specify this option, salt-cloud will default to bootstrap-salt-minion for you.
- If you do not want any deployment scripts run, you still have the following
- options available to you.
- From the command line, use the --no-deploy option:
- .. code-block:: bash
- salt-cloud --no-deploy -p myprofile mymachine
- In the Salt Cloud configuration, set:
- .. code-block:: yaml
- deploy: False
- Or in the profile, set the script option to None:
- .. code-block:: yaml
- script: None
- Other Generic Deploy Scripts
- ============================
- If you want to be assured of always using the latest Salt Bootstrap script,
- there are now a few generic templates available in the deploy directory of
- your saltcloud source tree:
- .. code-block:: bash
- curl-bootstrap
- curl-bootstrap-git
- python-bootstrap
- wget-bootstrap
- wget-bootstrap-git
- These are example scripts which were designed to be customized, adapted, and
- refit to meet your needs. One important use of them is to pass options to
- the salt-bootstrap script, such as updating to specific git tags.
