Refactor a Salt Formula to Use Pillar
Pillar lets us store secure data we can then assign to our minions. Often, this is role-based data, but we can store operating-system based variable mapping within our pillar, as well. In this lab, we'll take an existing Apache formula and refactor it so all variable parameters are stored in pillar.
