On-the-fly Cost Compute
Which cloud is the cheapest today?
Salt Cloud queries include pricing details!
When you’re cloud-agnostic, you don’t need special tools.
“Just use Autoscaling!”
-BUT-
Avoid proprietary solutions.
With Salt, you bring your own capabilities.
Toolbox
Minion - on Windows Active Directory
Salt API - Receive requests
