Starter Salt questions

[Walter Kelt]

I am relatively new to Salt. Hoping to get pushed up the learning curve with answers to the following high level questions:

1: is it true that the Salt master does NOT run on ms windows ??

2: in masterless mode, does the salt minion have an api that applications can use to communicate with the minion ? How could I enable local apps

   to communicate with the minion ?

3: I can't seem to find a Saltstack plugin for Bamboo that would enable it to communication to a Salt Master ?? (yes, not a Saltstack question but I'm assuming

    that we have a bunch of continuous deployment folks in the forum). I do realize that there is a plugin for Jenkins, but we've got Bamboo already setup in house.

thanks in advance for your responses.

1) Windows as a salt master is supported with 2017.7

2) It does not exactly, there is a webhooks engine that could be used on the salt minion, that allows you to trigger the reactor engine from webhook calls https://blog.gtmanfred.com/masterless-reactor.html

3) I do not know anything about bamboo, but if one does not exist, you could write one, and include it using dynamic modules, or submit it upstream.

Thanks for the response. I have googled around looking for Windows Salt Master support and have not found anything. Can you provide a link detailing/announcing windows master support ? Thnx
