SaltStack Vs Docker?

[Srinivas Gowda]

Hi,

I've used docker a few times on my laptop, and with docker-compose I was able to provision a custom tech stack in just minutes. That's mostly the only thing I've done on docker, but I have a few questions about SaltStack and Docker.

1. How is SaltStack different from docker-compose?
2. I'm I right in assuming that vagrant is just a sugar coating on top of Viirtual Box or is there more to it?
3. Can SaltStack be used along with Docker machines? If so how will persistence take place since docker is just a stateless runtime container system?
