IndyAWS Meetup: Calvin HP on How to Build AWS VPCs w/ SaltStack Formulas

How to Build AWS VPCs with SaltStack Formulas
by: Calvin Hendryx-Parker

If you are already using a tool like SaltStack in your infrastructure to handle other tasks, you can also use it to build cloud infrastructure. SaltStack supports sending many commands to public clouds to create infrastructure on your behalf. With Salt, you can describe your AWS VPC using YAML and then apply it to the region to create the same network each time it is run. In this talk, Calvin will demonstrate how to build a VPC on a local machine and use AWS API via Salt to create our new network.
