Resources/Providers

Usage

Define two roles named salt_master and salt_minion, which include the corresponding
recipes. The nodes will automatically discover each other within the same environment
(when using Chef Server).

If you want your Salt Masters to operate across all environments, set
node['salt']['minion']['master_environment'] to nil for all minions.

At the moment, you will need to approve access for any minions with the salt-key -A command. A future version of this cookbook
will handle this automatically.
