" summary

Live demo of SaltStack showing working states and pillars, salt modules and the salt mine driving orchestrations that release code across four app servers one-by-one: remove from HAProxy, stop via supervisorD, update files, run buildout/npm/gulp, restart, then re-add. Demonstrates reactor-based auto-rebuild and beacons on the event bus, AWS ELB control via boto with 5s polls and 60s drain timeout, a local Vagrant cluster of five machines for testing, and a public example repo at github.com/commonhp/salt-orchestration-demo.
