5. The missing Web UI • Job output pretty outputting • And a special treatment for state.highstate jobs • Management of minions (keys, last runs, pillar) • Run job, save job parameters as templates and run them with one-click button • Accelerate minions debugging
6. Let me introduce you to SaltPad !
7. With a live demo!
8. Internals • Use SaltStack API for everything. • No DB, jobs templates are stored in salt master config. • Python Flask application.
9. TODO • Some features are not yet implemented. • Add some caching to improve responsiveness. • Add support for SaltStack API 2014.7.0. • Improve the API in order to implement new features and improve responsiveness.
