salt-ssh example

README

The goal of this test was to build an orchestration file that can execute commands on a non-minion via salt-ssh.


<event> -> <reactor> -> <reactor sls> -> <orchestration file> -> <ssh commands>

Flow: 
- salt-call event.send ssh/test '{"hostid": "minion-deb8-py2"}'
- event is dropped on the eventbus with a hostid to target commands
- reactor file triggers orchestration


master.d files
- ssh.conf
- reactor.conf

/srv/salt/orch
- ssh.sls

/srv/reactors
- ssh_test.sls

NOTE:
- A roster file is required but it can be empty
- hostid provided must resolve

etc salt master.d reactor.conf

reactor:
  - 'ssh/test':
    - /srv/reactors/ssh_test.sls

etc salt master.d ssh.conf
