Overall Satisfaction with VMware vRealize Automation, with SaltStack Config
My company is doing web video conferencing and therefore as an important platform distributed in many datacenters all over the world.
Saltstack is used for deployment on the different nodes in a consistent way.

- Easy to configure and maintain since it is centralized, and there is also discovery
- Can adapt to a lot of situations with the minimum of configuration. It is easy to write and deploy our own templates and modules
- The documentation is easy to read and exhaustive
- Having a centralized master lead to a single point of failure. Having a native distributed architecture would be appreciated
- Ops team gains a lot of time on repetitive tasks and can focus on improvement and automation
- There is no limit with Saltstack, a part of everything can be automated
I looked at Chef and Ansible but it was a long time ago and I don't remember the pros and cons compared to SaltStack.
When I arrived at my company, Saltstack was already used in production so there has been no discussion about other deployment and automation solutions
