Phone call with @QuixoticJeremy

Oh wait, I'm on a conference call with the Quixotic team that is in a meeting in NY.

SodiumSuite is now not only in the lead, but has matched all other votes combined... with me having voted against it.

Alas, I must sleep. As much as I want to stay up longer and create the lab environment for my RHCSA book, it's not worth the headache lack of sleep will bestow upon me.

Wow, ML is so much busier right now than SW. The biggest thing going on on SW right now is ML people voted for SodiumSuite, lol. I'm watching a bunch of threads that I commented on and there aren't any responses. But this place is hopping - much of it talking about crazy posts on SW, lol.
Yeah it has been quite a day.

Just finished installing all Tvs, firewall, switches, Ubiquiti AP, beds, outlet covers and replaced light switches at the house and brought lots of boxes. Now I am catching up a little.

How is quiet and not responding different? LOL
In a community quiet and not responding are the same things.

Getting the kids ready for bed here.

Can you clarify what you mean by using Salt via SodiumSuite?

Salt and SS are separate products. At the moment. SS uses Salt under the hood for a lot of what it does, but SS isn't necessarily tied to Salt long term, could certainly use other things like Ansible if it wanted to, is actively considering the possibility of needing to replace Salt to add more power, and is definitely going to be doing things that SAlt doesn't do. SS is not Salt, but right not, it does leverage it.

Interesting, there's a ton of potential there I didn't realize about SS.
What are some things they want SS to do that Salt can't?

Big pieces there are performance and control. Salt has a lot of stability issues that are a problem for SS. And Salt lacks a lot of uniformity around different operating systems that would be very difficult to fix, to the point of rewriting large portions of Salt to improve them, which is what the current plan is.
The biggest features are not around system management itself, but around end user support. More concepts of asset control, user monitoring, user notification and communications are the biggest issues. Salt isn't supposed to do those things, but SS is. Once SS has its own separate agent for all platforms, having it start to take over duties from the Salt agent (minion) might make sense. Or possibly that each does its own thing and things that make sense for Salt stay there and the SSA takes care of things that Salt does not do.
