We started by discussing what's new in Yosemite:

Puppet as a tool is unaffected, due to getting over the issues with Ruby 2.0 in Mavericks.

The issues with NetInstall and CreateOSXInstallPkg with the distribution pkg format were discussed, as per: https://github.com/munki/createOSXinstallPkg#further-note-on-additional-packages-and-yosemite

SCCM hasn't been well know to immediately support OS releases, nor patch broken functionality in a timely fashion.

Sal has a REST API. You will need to create an API key before using it. You should send your private key and public key as headers (publickey and privatekey). Some actions can only be performed by API keys that have been marked as read / write in Sal.

General notes

Sal's API will generally return a response similar to the following:

{"count":362,"next":"https://sal.example.com/api/conditions/?condition=machine_type&page=2","previous":null,"results":[...]}
