## Let your systems speak salt
Sample Code Used in repo here : https://github.com/ramaseshan/salt-stack-examples

The Plan
1. Basic Introduction to Salt - 10 min (Installation and basic usage)
2. Introduction to software installation using salt -10 min (How to install or update a software)
3. How to create and manage an infrastructure with saltstack - 20 min (Installing multiple packages, various ways of installation)
	-> We will be installing a few packages like python-pip, python-virtualenv,
	-> Create a virtualenv and install django inside it
	-> Create a default django project and start the dev server
	-> Well you really need to edit the code ?? So lets go god mode (vim + tmux + the good old terminal)

Basic Requirements :
1. Oracle Virtual box with CentOS 6.6 minimal installed (https://www.centos.org/)
2. Span out 2 VM's, one as the installation configuration machine(M1), and other as the install machine(M2).
3. Enable epel repo on both the machines and install these packages,just follow the instructions from here (https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/installation/rhel.html)
4. Once done, on M1 , do the following
	1. yum install python-devel createrepo httpd
5. Wait for the talk. I will get the respective rpms I will be using for the demo, you can download right there and use them.

Note : The slide used also will be available in the repo for now, until it move it a web based presentation. Feel Free to Download the presentation and use it to whatever need you want to.
