I'm ultra confused about their marketing btw. Their website doesn't even say it's open source. You have to sign up to "try it now". It's like they don't want customers? Or are people who want to understand what they're buying not the target market, somehow?
Sure, but understanding what the thing is, that's part of the buying decision right? I have no clue what https://www.saltstack.com/ is about.
How do I get from this:
> Drive IT security into the 21st century. Amplify the impact of your entire SecOps team with global orchestration and automation that remediates security issues in minutes, not weeks.
to "it's a provisioning tool for servers, like ansible but faster"?
The docs landing page have me an easier to grok picture of what it does, purely based on seeing what the doc headers are - https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/
Salt (also known as SaltStack) was right.
