This course will teach you to write and deploy custom Python modules as Salt plugins.
It is impossible for a vendor to provide everything you need for your environment. This is why Salt is an extensible system where you can create your own plugins. In this course, Extending Salt Open with Plugins, you’ll learn to develop simple Python scripts to deploy as Salt Plugins. First, you’ll explore the structure of existing plugins. Next, you’ll discover how the Beacon plugin system operates to monitor Minions. Finally, you’ll learn how to write and deploy your own custom plugins as Python modules. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of the Salt Plugin system needed to both understand existing plugins and extend Salt with your own.
