  1. ==================
  2. What is SaltStack?
  3. ==================
  4. SaltStack makes software for complex systems management at scale.
  5. SaltStack is the company that created and maintains the Salt Open
  6. project and develops and sells SaltStack Enterprise software, services
  7. and support. Easy enough to get running in minutes, scalable enough to
  8. manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to communicate with
  9. them in *seconds*.
  10. Salt is a new approach to infrastructure management built on a dynamic
  11. communication bus. Salt can be used for data-driven orchestration,
  12. remote execution for any infrastructure, configuration management for
  13. any app stack, and much more.
  14. Download Salt Open

  16. Salt Open is tested and packaged to run on CentOS, Debian, RHEL, Ubuntu,

  26. Security Advisory
  27. =================
  28. For historical reasons, Salt requires PyCrypto as a "lowest common
  29. denominator". However, `PyCrypto is unmaintained`_ and best practice is to
  30. manually upgrade to use a more maintained library such as `PyCryptodome`_. See
  31. `Issue #52674`_ and `Issue #54115`_ for more info
  32. Engage SaltStack
  33. ================

  35. community`_ of customers, users, developers and enthusiasts. Connect with other
  36. Salted folks in your area of the world, or join `SaltConf`_, the SaltStack
  37. annual user conference held in Salt Lake City. Please visit the `SaltConf`_ site
  38. for details of our next conference. Also, please let us know if you would like
  39. to start a user group or if we should add your existing SaltStack user group to
  40. this list by emailing: info@saltstack.com
  41. **SaltStack Training** - Get access to proprietary `SaltStack education
  42. offerings`_ through instructor-led training offered on-site, virtually or at
  43. SaltStack headquarters in Salt Lake City. SaltStack Enterprise training helps
