I recently had the pleasure of moderating the first day of the DevOps track at Gluecon 2014. As I wrote about in a previous post, the good folks at CloudSoft were kind enough to have the days sessions video taped (OK I don’t know if they actually use tape anymore, but you know what I mean). They have made these videos available to us here at devopsy.kinsta.cloud. We have uploaded them to YouTube and will be posting them here through the week.
The DevOps sessions got started with Thomas Hatch of SaltStack presenting, 6 things you don’t know about SaltStack. Kudos to Thomas who due to a technical glitch had to start off without his slides up on the screen. But Thomas did not miss a beat and gave the audience some insight into SaltStack and what makes it best for certain tasks.
Below is the video
