# Salt Project: "a Python-based, open-source remote execution framework for configuration
# management, automation, provisioning, and orchestration", self-hosted as a Salt master with Salt
# minions. The master configuration reference defaults transport to zeromq, publish_port to 4505,
# ret_port to 4506 and worker_threads to 5; salt-ssh is the agentless alternative to a minion.
