SaltStack, a system for configuration and orchestration of remote servers, allows for targeting of minions by
- minion ID:
salt 'perma-server-01' test.ping
orsalt 'perma*' test.ping
- grains, data specific to a minion, such as CPU architecture or
deployment tier:
salt -G 'oscodename:buster' test.ping
- pillars, data assigned to one or more minions centrally, often
secrets:
salt -I 'foo:bar' test.ping
- IP address or subnet
