Writing an Apache Salt Formula
One of the core features of Salt is its configuration management system. By writing end-state configurations called states and formulas, we can craft reusable configuration files that we can use to both provision and enforce state across our server fleet. In this lab, we'll begin our Salt configuration management journey by writing an Apache formula.
