An alternative we've considered was Ansible, which is also wide adopted,
but finally decided for Salt mostly for two reasons:
- Salt syntax (in our opinion) better encourage to write declarative
configuration (describe desired system state, not a sequence of
actions to perform)
- we (mostly nrgaway at that time) were more familiar with Salt
architecture
