  We use SaltStack for both the development environment under Vagrant/VirtualBox (https://github.com/saltstack/salty-vagrant), and in production; and are pretty happy with this setup.

  I tried looking at Chef and Puppet, and was scared away by the complexity thrown at me upfront. I find Salt way easier to pick up. I like its being declarative, concise, and unsurprising. Also, it has received a seal of approval from our admins. That doesn't happen here with software often :)

  Thanks! And congratulations!

  Recent hire and long-time community member here. Salt has been a very fun project on which to work. Very proud of our team.

  I've never worked with better people or software.
