A comment on Salt Stack - fast remote execution manager / provisioner.

I want to like this but having to use a template syestem to build a yaml file seems entirely backwards to me.

Templating is definitely not required - states are run through Jinja by default, but for most simple setups you won't need to template anything.

As far as I can tell, templating is an addon - you can specify everything as pure yaml, also.
