IndyAWS Meetup: Calvin HP on How to Build AWS VPCs w/ SaltStack Formulas

How to Build AWS VPCs with SaltStack Formulas
by: Calvin Hendryx-Parker

If you are already using a tool like SaltStack (http://saltstack.org) in your infrastructure to handle other tasks, you can also use it to build cloud infrastructure. SaltStack (http://saltstack.org) supports sending many commands to public clouds to create infrastructure on your behalf. With Salt, you can describe your AWS VPC using YAML (http://yaml.org)and then apply it to the region to create the same network each time it is run. In this talk, Calvin will demonstrate how to build a VPC on a local machine and use AWS API via Salt to create our new network.
