Create a new, fully configured virtual computer in less than a minute. Keep configuration in version control. Manage trough configuration management system.
This short example only contains Vagrantfile for slave. This configures new vagrant virtual machine as salt slave. You will also need a working salt master to use this.
This short example is not aimed at beginners. Prerequisites: Linux command line, salt configuration management system and vagrant virtualization.

See how my student Jussi Isosomppi used similar configuration to control over two thousand slaves (git repository).
