Formula Management

Forumlas are pre-defined salt modules that are defined by users to manage a service or setup as a unit (e.g. templates). A curated list from Saltstack is here.

These are stored in /srv/salt/template/{ENVIRONMENT}/{FORMULA} (see File Section) and are directly accessing from the same base scope, based on configuration:

ls -1 /srv/salt/template/dev/some_formula
init.sls
pillar_config.sls
service.sls

0644 salt salt /srv/salt/static/dev/top.sls

dev:
  'my_host':
    - some_formula

  'other_host':
    - some_formula
    - some_formula.pillar_config
    - some_formual.service
