> This whole "don't have your salt master exposed to the internet" thing has me annoyed. The whole point of salt is to manage boxes all over the place. I manage around 500 machines. Most of them are behind the firewalls of incompetent admins who have spent hours in the past trying to set up port forwards when salt-minion crashed so I could access the box again. I'm about to test binding salt-master to localhost and salt-minion to localhost and then setting up spiped to wrap the traffic...

Some companies need better DevOps apparently




Nitpick: this is purely an operations/sysadmin problem.

The DevOps grouping doesn't apply too much, Operations-minded staff should be focusing on keeping things locked down.

Unless, you know, you're not hiring those people and instead are hoping that developers take the Ops burden. ;)


People downvoting: I guess I hit a nerve, but could you explain why?

Development and Operations are different disciplines and the idea was to remove silos, not make one person responsible for both.
