Salt Project

Welcome to the Salt Project GitHub organization, where all of our core-maintained code repositories reside.

Built on python, Salt uses simple and human-readable YAML combined with event-driven automation to deploy and configure complex IT systems. In addition to leveling-up Tanzu Salt, Salt can be found under the hood of products from Juniper, Cisco, Cloudflare, Nutanix, SUSE, and others.

SaltStack, the company, was acquired by VMware in 2020. VMware was later acquired by Broadcom in 2023. Salt Project remains an open source ecosystem that Broadcom supports and contributes to.
