salt-sls 1.0.1

Run single a Salt SLS file agentless locally.

Run a single SLS file locally with Salt, without the need for a master or minion setup. This agentless and simplified approach allows faster deployment and testing of SLS files.

About

salt-sls is an innovation for those who want a lightweight approach to using SaltStack. With this tool, you can run a single SLS file on your local machine without setting up the more extensive master or minion infrastructure. Whether you’re testing a new SLS or need a quick execution, salt-sls is your friend.

echo "test:\n  test.nop:\n    - name: state" > test.sls
sls test.sls
