SUSE Certified Engineer - Managing Systems with Salt
In this hands-on lab, you'll be working with Salt to query and manage systems remotely. You'll be setting up the Salt server and a Salt client, including configuring access through Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) methods. You'll then query and get information from the Salt client about various items available on the system, software packages, users, and the state and status of services on the client. You'll then use the Salt commands to add and remove users and packages, install and remove applications, and better understand the Salt States by setting a user addition and a package installation through the use of Salt states and the highstate.
