Salt-cloud and pillar #23935

Closed mspinassi closed 6 years ago

mspinassi commented 9 years ago

Hi all!

It started as a question on salt users [1] and filling a feature request for it.

The idea is to use pillar for salt-cloud configuration, instead of /etc/salt/cloud*, as it's easier to share the whole /srv/salt directory using pillar, than sharing those under /etc.

Also, using pillar for salt-cloud gives some really good flexibility. For example, if we are deploying an instance for QA, it won't have the same specs than a Prod one. Another use case would be with VPCs. Depending on the environment or project, you may prefer to use some VPC or region or subnet.

Really, having pillar for salt-cloud could be a huge step forward in flexibility.

My python code is far from good for such a big project (spoiler: not a developer), but please, if I can help you testing, reviewing or anything else, just ping me; will be more than happy to help.

Cheers!

Martin

@mspinassi Thanks for this request! It looks like this functionality was added at least to the cloud module in #12924, as @techhat mentioned, but I think you've presented a good use case for a feature request. Unless @techhat has some other thoughts/knowledge on this matter.

25555 might cover this feature request.

My suggestion for #25555 definitely would cover this issue: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/25555#issuecomment-153553006
