<div>Changed topic to be more relevant..</div><div><br></div>Agreed, saltstack is wonderful.. we're using it in combination with Atlassian Bamboo with a similar outcome, we push a release button for a specific workflow, and salt takes care of all the steps;<div>
<br></div><div>* Compile stack components into deb packages (for example freeswitch, backend web applications etc) and place on local mirror</div><div>* Performs unit test in the build steps</div><div>* Fire up a bare instance with salt taking care of installation and ensuring services are running</div>
<div>* SIP balancer (freeswitch) moves traffic between the switch instances to allow for rapid release fail over, and a real staging environment.. if there is a problem with a release, we can quickly switch back to the previous release at the LB.. if there is no problem, the old release instance is terminated</div>
<div>* Traffic balancer takes care of moving traffic between the API/MySQL instances</div><div>* Stack runs uwsgi/django/nginx/freeswitch</div><div>* We use new relic / pingdom / cacti for monitoring</div><div>* Code is kept in GIT</div>

I'm still not entirely happy with the overall procedure and always looking for new/better ways to improve it.. but SaltStack is a clear winner, leaving puppet/chef in it's dust.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">

</div>Off topic a bit, but it's great to see another Salt user. We have our<br>
stuff built-out to the point where we pull the trigger on the Salt<br>
Master and 30 mins later we have a full stack (12+ systems depending<br>
on how we configure it) of load balanced and highly available servers<br>
running FreeSWITCH, OpenSIPS, nginx, HAProxy, Django, PostgreSQL,<br>
UWSGI, Postfix, etc. --all layered on top of freshly built virtual<br>
hosts running kvm/libvirt under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (except for FS, it<br>
runs on iron). I almost get goosebumps when it's done running.<br>
<br>
I know you all do this kinda stuff all day long, but still, I can have<br>
my fun too, right?<br>
<br>
Long live Salt!<br>
<br>
:)<br>
