Running multiple orchestrations in parallel using salt orchestration runner?

[Goran Stankovski]

Hi,

I'm a noob to salt and looking to see how I can run multiple orchestrations in parallel.

Do I run multiple salt-run sessions in parallel from the command line?

e.g.  On the salt master:

salt-run state.orchestrate orchestration.foo &

salt-run state.orchestrate orchestration.bah &

 

Or can this be done some other way using an orchestration itself??

Use the --async option to the salt-run command.  It'll return the job id instead of the output, which you can lookup later via salt-run jobs.lookup_jid.

There are other ways to do it though - you could also setup a reactor that listens for an event and then fires off the orchestrate.  Then you could use salt-call and send an event up to the master to fire off the orchestrate.

One thing to keep in mind here is that if you're using state runs inside of those orchestrations on the same minions, you could run into errors because of the state lock.
