Unveiling the Idem Project: Cloud Automation Without the Code
This month, we announced the long-awaited launch of Idem, an open source tool that simplifies cloud-management automation by reducing configuration to data (instead of code) — making it easier to maintain, discover, and use. Idem is a complement to the open source project Salt (created by SaltStack, which VMware acquired in October of 2020). While Salt was built to automate the process of systems configuration (such as databases and applications running inside virtual machines), Idem automates cloud configuration, settings, user management, and resource creation. If you’ve used Salt, you’ll find Idem familiar and easy to navigate. Together, Idem and Salt form a full automation solution.

Salt Exporter: the story behind the tool
In the new style, when the tag is longer than 20 characters, an end of tag string is appended to the tag given by the string constant TAGEND, that is, two line feeds '\n\n'. When the tag is less than 20 characters then the tag is padded with pipes "|" out to 20 characters as before. When the tag is exactly 20 characters no padded is done. source: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/utils/event.py

Probably asked before, but any opinions on Ansible against Salt
One thing that really irks me about Salt, though, is that they are very slow to fix bugs. My Salt states are littered with workarounds for bugs that have been open for multiple years. Even in basic things, like ssh authorized_keys management. Other than bug velocity, though, I've been pretty pleased with Salt.
