Salt is the world’s fastest, most intelligent and scalable automation engine.

Built on python, Salt uses simple and human-readable YAML combined with event-driven automation to deploy and configure complex IT systems. In addition to leveling-up vRealize Automation SaltStack Config, Salt can be found under the hood of products from Juniper, Cisco, Cloudflare, Nutanix, SUSE, and Tieto, to name a few.

SaltStack was acquired by VMware in 2020. Salt Project remains an open source ecosystem that VMware supports and contributes to.

Salt is tested and packaged to run on CentOS, Debian, RHEL, Ubuntu, MacOS, Windows, and more. Download Salt and get started now.
